Isn't David Seymour the guy who got himself into government at the last election and then went and set up a new government department? But, despite the irony, I agree with him that we need fewer government departments and fewer Cabinet ministers. Previously, the ACT leader has described the public sector as "a big, complicated bureaucratic beast". There are the numbers to back that up. We have 82 cabinet portfolios, 28 ministers and 41 separate government departments and agencies. David Seymour thinks that's crazy and says ACT will campaign in this year's election on changing that. And, instead of having 41 government departments and agencies, he wants us to have no more than 30. As for cabinet ministers - at the moment there are 28, David Seymour thinks we need no more than 20. I remember Oliver Hartwich from the NZ Initiative think tank saying last year that we could get away with having as few as 15 cabinet ministers, instead of the 28 we have at the moment. But he thought that 20 was more realistic. As for government departments, they are monsters. They operate in silos. They compete with each other for funding. They don't talk to each other. That's why there's so much duplication. For example, do we need a Ministry of Education and an Education Review Office? I don't think so. Do we need a Ministry of Justice and a Department of Corrections? Possibly not. As for cabinet positions, do we need a mental health minister? Could that all be part of the health minister's job? And don't get me started on things like the Minister for the South Island or the Minister for Auckland that Labour brought in. So, I'm with David Seymour and I think we could do with fewer government departments and agencies. But it will never happen. Talking about having less government departments and less cabinet ministers is easy and politicians talk about it because they know it tends to go down well with people. But it will never happen. Because, whether people admit it or not, they still expect the government and its departments to fix everything. And, unless that changes, the government isn't going to get any smaller. And its list of departments isn't going to get any shorter. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A year after the LA wildfires turned entire neighborhoods into ash, fewer than a dozen homes are actually rebuilt while politicians throw confetti over issuing 1,600 permits out of 16,000 destroyed structures. That's a whopping 10% permit rate—truly lightning speed by California standards! Governor Newsom brags about "historic pace" while the median permit time sits at 51 days compared to Texas's 8 days, and survivors cite the real problem: insurance companies playing hardball and zero federal disaster aid from the $34 billion request gathering dust. Meanwhile, Trump signs an executive order to cut permitting red tape, Newsom fires back with snarky tweets about rebuilding Mars, and Mayor Bass—who was in Ghana when the fires started—claims victory for cutting permit times in half (still embarrassingly slow). Seven out of ten fire survivors remain displaced and running out of money while bureaucrats argue over jurisdiction. Is this executive order actually going to override local permitting chaos, or is it just federal overreach theater? Will insurance companies stop lowballing victims, or will this turn into a decades-long rebuild nightmare?

This week Laura Milstein and Kevin Albert are joined by Nick Schutt, entrepreneur, executive leader, and host of Robots and Red Tape, for a candid conversation that starts with hiring and quickly widens into how tech is reshaping work and society. Nick breaks down why even highly qualified candidates are struggling in today's government and contracting job market, pointing to market saturation, contract cuts, and shifting priorities across federal and consulting spaces.The conversation moves into how AI is showing up in resumes and interviews, and why that often misses the point. Nick shares his approach to hiring people rather than skill sets, arguing that personality, judgment, and cultural fit matter far more than perfectly polished, AI-assisted answers. Laura and Kevin add their own experiences managing teams and navigating the risks of overselling versus honest capability. The episode closes by zooming out to the broader impact of technology on human connection, especially for younger generations. From online-only communication to AI companions and education, the group wrestles with where tech genuinely helps and where it quietly erodes essential social skills. The takeaway is clear: AI can be a powerful tool, but it can't replace human relationships, accountability, or lived experience.Nick Schutt is a serial entrepreneur and executive leader who has built and scaled multiple organizations serving both government and commercial clients since founding his first company in 2016. He currently serves as President of Artemis Human Capital Management and Executive Vice President at EVLG Solutions, where he leads IT modernization, infrastructure, and advanced technology initiatives for federal, state, and local agencies. Nick is also the co-founder of Collabulations and the host of Robots and Red Tape, a podcast focused on practical, experience-driven conversations about AI, policy, and governance. The show cuts through hype to explore how AI is actually being built and used today, the real-world consequences that come with it, and the government's evolving role as both regulator and major customer of emerging technology.

Gary and Shannon kick off the show with a studio upgrade that sparks joy before diving into a fast-moving hour of political pivots, government failure, and personal grudges. From President Trump stepping in on L.A.’s stalled wildfire rebuild to a sudden shift in Minnesota strategy and a breaking-news social media settlement, Hour 1 moves quickly from accountability to loyalty—and old scores that still aren’t settled.• Rebuilding L.A.: Trump orders action on wildfire red tape as only one home has been rebuilt—and it already had a permit.• Minnesota Reversal: Inside the 48 hours that changed the White House’s approach and boots on the ground.• Loyalty Over Family: Shannon chooses the Super Bowl party over family, and Gary revives a 14-year wedding grudge.• Trial That Vanished: A youth mental-health case against social media settles instantly—raising questions about what stayed hidden.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After a brief post-doc in Miami, I returned to Santa Cruz in 2015 to co-found and direct the UC-Santa Cruz Doris Duke Conservation Scholars Program, whose mission is to prepare college students from diverse backgrounds to become the next generation of conservation leaders.   In Santa Cruz, I witnessed and experienced the impacts of the exorbitant housing market. I got involved in a rent control measure campaign and was one of the highest signature gatherers to place the measure on the 2018 ballot. This, along with a commitment to community engagement, prompted me to run for city council. In 2018, I was the highest vote recipient and became one of two African American men voted onto the Santa Cruz City Council for the first time in history. In 2020 I became the first African American man to serve as Mayor of the City of Santa Cruz. In 2022, I was elected to the Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors as the Third District Supervisor.  During my time on the council, I focused on sustainable community growth, increasing affordable housing, reducing carbon emissions, public safety reform, amplifying the voices of marginalized community members, connecting people to resources during the pandemic, and most importantly bringing our community together to make Santa Cruz better for everyone. Support the show

 Frustration with government is widespread, but neither party has a vision for making things work sensibly, according to our guest, Philip K. Howard, the chair of Common Good, a nonpartisan organization aimed at simplifying government procedures and practices and the author of his new book, “Saving Can-Do: How to Revive the Spirit of America.”  Hidebound rules delay projects and add costs which then keep important supports from government from getting to the people who need them.  For years, Howard has described the reforms that are needed to empower people in government to use their good judgment and put aside the rulebook.  He has classic examples of well-intended legislation never actually moving from good policy to timely practice and implementation, particularly in the sphere of infrastructure enhancements.  In many ways, we are living off the good public works of our great grandfathers.  And shouldn’t the reams of paperwork in health care be shredded to afford doctors more time to focus on patient care?  DOGE wasn’t the answer, he says.  Nor is the Democrat response to protect the status quo.  He offers a way forward in his book and on this podcast.

On this episode of American Potential, host David From speaks with John Leddy, a food truck owner in Alabama, about how complicated it is to legally operate a mobile food business. John explains how food truck owners are forced to navigate a patchwork of city and county rules—requiring different permits, health inspections, fire inspections, and business licenses for each jurisdiction. With some towns extending their police jurisdiction into county areas, food truck operators can unknowingly cross invisible boundaries and suddenly find themselves operating illegally. After years of dealing with inconsistent enforcement and bureaucratic delays, John is now working to support legislation that would simplify and standardize the permitting process statewide—making it easier for food truck owners to comply with the law, grow their businesses, and serve their communities.

In this episode of American Potential, host David From talks with Ohio Representative Jennifer Gross, a retired Air Force combat lieutenant colonel and longtime nurse practitioner, about her push to modernize Ohio's outdated healthcare rules. Rep. Gross explains how Ohio's Standard Care Arrangement requirement blocks highly trained nurse practitioners from providing care they're fully certified to deliver—especially harming patients in rural and underserved communities. She walks through why removing this mandate would: Expand access to doctors and nurse practitioners across Ohio Reduce wait times and improve patient choice Lower costs for patients and Medicaid Follow the lead of 27 states and 3 territories that have already done it She also shares how Ohio suspended the rule during COVID with no increase in patient harm, proving the system works without the red tape. Rep. Gross urges Ohioans to contact their legislators and support HB 508, the Better Access to Healthcare Act. A powerful conversation about healthcare freedom, patient choice, and letting professionals practice to the full extent of their training.

Paco Nathan has been building AI since 1983 - before it was cool, before it was profitable, and through every hype winter since. In this no-BS conversation with Nick Schutt on Robots and Red Tape, Paco explains why this wave is legitimately different (hardware finally caught up), why the AGI/superintelligence talk is marketing fiction backed by trillions, and where the real wins are hiding: anti-money-laundering, fraud detection, and preserving institutional knowledge as veteran workers retire. A masterclass in spotting hype vs. reality: Why hardware, software, then process is the real AI hierarchy The dirty secrets of latency & cost killing most “agentic” demos How graphs and entity resolution are the hidden backbone of mission-critical AI Lessons from Spark/Databricks that every GenAI builder needs right now Why team intelligence, not artificial intelligence, should drive policy Go deep on Spark-era lessons every GenAI startup is painfully re-learning, why UX is now the biggest bottleneck for adoption, why relationships (in graphs and in orgs) matter more than facts, and why policy makers should regulate “team intelligence” instead of “artificial intelligence.” Books mentioned: “Seeing Like a State” – James C.

Red tape continues to tie up New Zealand's agriculture and horticultural sectors. Animal and Plant Health NZ's annual survey finds nearly half its members feel regulatory performance has worsened, despite recommendations put forward by the Ministry for Regulation earlier this year. Chief executive Liz Shackleton told Mike Hosking despite reassurance from regulators, the day-to-day process is not getting easier. She says farmers and growers face a raft of challenges and don't have the right tools for the job. She says it's a real handbrake on economic growth, and we're missing out on better environmental outcomes. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why Gartner and MIT say 75–95% of AI projects fail to show real value? Because the data house has no foundation. In this episode of Robots and Red Tape, Nick Schutt sits down with Gurpinder Dhillon, Head of Data & AI Ecosystem at Senzing, PhD in data quality impact, and author of the new book “Think Data, Act AI, " to go deep on critical world of data infrastructure. Nick and Gurpinder break down: The real difference between data infrastructure, architecture, and ecosystem The 4 non-negotiable pillars every org needs (quality, integration, governance, context) How entity resolution prevents million-dollar marketing disasters and fraud Why “garbage in, garbage out” has become “garbage in, garbage multiplied” with GenAI The red tape Gurpinder would cut tomorrow to finally let teams innovate If you're tired of AI hype and want the plumbing that actually makes it work, this episode is for you.

Across the U.S., stormwater regulations form a confusing patchwork that slows innovation and complicates compliance for communities and companies alike. In this episode from WEFTEC, Jay Holtz of Oldcastle Infrastructure explains how this fragmented system has evolved — and why it's time for change. He outlines the challenges posed by thousands of differing local approvals that make it costly and inefficient for solution providers to bring technologies to market. Holtz describes how the emerging STEPP Program — Stormwater Testing and Evaluation for Products and Practices — aims to establish a consistent national framework for verifying performance data and standardizing testing. The initiative, led by the National Municipal Stormwater Alliance, would simplify local approvals, cut costs, and accelerate deployment of proven systems.

In this inspiring episode of American Potential, host David From speaks with Dr. Chaminie Wheeler, a pediatrician who walked away from the traditional hospital system to launch a direct primary care (DPC) practice—putting patients, not paperwork, at the center of healthcare. Raised in a small village in Sri Lanka, Dr. Wheeler's passion for helping others began at a young age and followed her to Pennsylvania, where she built CCC Health from the ground up with help from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. She shares how the broken insurance-based model shackled her ability to treat patients with compassion and clarity. From unnecessary CT scans to delayed diagnoses, Dr. Wheeler reveals how bureaucracy often prevents real healing—and why DPC offers a better way forward. This episode dives deep into the challenges independent doctors face, the critical role of expanded Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), and how innovation thrives when government steps back. Dr. Wheeler's story is a reminder that when we trust doctors and empower patients, we unlock the real potential of American healthcare.
