Slow Rebuilding and Political Manipulation in LA Fire Areas Guest Name: Jeff Bliss Summary: Rebuilding fire-damaged areas like Pacific Palisades is agonizingly slow, potentially taking 9 to 20 years, causing residents to abandon their homes. Red tape delays permit issuance, possibly benefiting real estate speculators, including foreign buyers. There is concern that political leaders are pushing to reshape these communities by moving in tall, low-cost housing. 1940 PPALISADES

Wil  sits down with Emily Williams Knight, CEO of the Texas Restaurant Association (TRA), which represents 58,000 restaurants, 1.4M employees, and nearly $137B in annual sales. Emily explains how the TRA protects a pro-business regulatory environment so operators can focus on guests and teams, not red tape. She shares a pandemic origin story: brand-new in the role, she built a “war room,” forged bipartisan relationships, helped shape PPP/RRF fixes, and pushed for one of the earliest statewide re-opens, becoming a nightly “north star” for Texas restaurants.Today's headwinds: uncertainty across demand patterns, labor/immigration constraints disrupting the full “plant-it to plate-it” chain, protein inflation (beef unlikely to ease until ~2028 due to shrunken herds, import frictions, and disease risk), and looming seafood import tightening. Emily flags swipe fees (3–4%+), opaque delivery chargebacks/penalties, and rising insurance/rent/cleaning costs that small operators can't keep passing to guests. TRA's approach: advocate first by collaboration (then legislate if needed), and deliver practical operator wins—e.g., a $9/mo Teladoc program (including mental health) for employees/families, childcare policy via an Employers for Child Care task force (8 of 9 bills passed), and exploring lower-cost payments (e.g., stablecoin rails) to challenge card duopolies.Throughout, Emily underscores that independents are community infrastructure - first to show up in disasters, central to local identity - and urges owners to engage with their state associations for advocacy, education, and scaled benefits. Her north star: be courageous and pragmatic - simple solutions to complex problems - so small restaurants can survive the current squeeze and keep delivering hospitality.Key Takeaways TRA at scale: 58k restaurants, 1.4M employees, ~$137B sales—largest private-sector employer in Texas. Advocacy matters: TRA blocked well-intended but risky mandates (e.g., restaurant staff administering Narcan) by educating lawmakers. Bipartisan playbook: Results come from working both sides of the aisle and building trust before crises hit. Pandemic “war room”: Early reopen, nightly updates, and PPP/RRF fixes made TRA a lifeline for operators. Core problem = uncertainty: Demand patterns, costs, and supply reliability are too volatile for 4–6% margin businesses. Labor/immigration shock: Shortages ripple from farm to kitchen; near-term ask is work permits for long-time, law-abiding workers. Protein pressure: Beef relief unlikely until ~2028 due to herd rebuild cycles, import constraints, and disease risks; seafood supply faces stricter import rules. Cost traps: Swipe fees (often 3–4%+) and delivery chargebacks/penalties are eroding margins; TRA is pushing transparency and policy fixes. Practical benefits: TRA offers a $9/mo Teladoc (incl. mental health) for employees/families and is advancing childcare solutions to improve retention. Independents = community infrastructure: They fuel local identity and disaster response—consumer support and association engagement are vital.

Jim Tuxbury is a litigator at Boston-based firm  Hinckley Allen. In 2014, he picked up a ‘whistleblower' case against SunEdison and its owned subsidiaries, Terraform Global and Terraform Power, brought by the former president and CEO of both companies, Carlos Domenech Zornoza. Zornoza was fired shortly after attempting to go to SunEdison about what he believed to be misleading statements regarding the company's liquidity made by SunEdison's CEO and CFO. What followed was a decade of red tape, corporate shielding, and, eventually, a $34.5 million payout to Zornoza.   Hosts: Patrick Smith & Cedra Mayfield Guest: Jim Tuxbury Producer: Charles Garnar

Listen to the Top News of 28/08/2025 from Australia in Hindi.

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.

News and Updates: Australia will ban social media accounts for anyone under 16 starting December 10, making it the first country to enact such a rule. The law, passed with 77% public support, puts enforcement on tech companies and aims to boost youth mental health, though teens and advocates argue it removes spaces for connection rather than fixing harmful features. The U.S. autonomous vehicle industry is stuck in limbo after Elon Musk's DOGE initiative gutted the Office of Automation Safety. Without regulators to set standards or grant exemptions, companies face delays and legal uncertainty. Lawmakers now urge DOT to rehire staff to untangle the mess. The FAA proposed a sweeping rule to allow drones to fly beyond visual line of sight at altitudes up to 400 feet. If approved, it would expand commercial uses such as deliveries, agriculture, and surveying. Amazon and Walmart already have FAA drone delivery approval, but safety and airspace restrictions remain. SpaceX is pressuring states to divert federal broadband grants from fiber to Starlink, calling fiber “wasteful.” In Louisiana, 91.5% of $500M in BEAD funds went to fiber, while Starlink only received $7.75M. SpaceX claims bias, but state officials cite fiber's scalability and satellite limitations. Internal documents show SpaceX has paid little to no federal income tax since its 2002 founding, despite billions in government contracts. Nearly $5.4B in accumulated tax losses let the company indefinitely shield future profits, thanks to a 2017 Trump tax change. Critics say the break was meant for struggling startups, not thriving contractors. England's National Drought Group urged citizens to delete old emails to conserve water as the country faces its worst drought since 1976. Data centers use vast water supplies for cooling—Google's Oregon site consumed 355M gallons in 2021. The call highlights growing tension between AI/data infrastructure and local water security.

She spent nearly 30 years as a police detective and public servant—work that left her carrying years of unprocessed trauma. Things really hit a breaking point when the very systems she'd worked to uphold began failing her own family, especially as she tried to support her neurodivergent child.That was the moment everything shifted. She walked away from the career that had shaped her identity and started a painful but powerful journey of healing, unlearning, and rebuilding. What followed was deep inner work, nervous system repair, and a total realignment of her life's mission. Today, she helps families like hers navigate education, health, and parenting outside the traditional mold—because she's lived the fallout when those systems don't work.Her story is raw, emotional, and ultimately hopeful.

In this episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with Ohio State Senator Kristina Roegner, the lead sponsor of Senate Bill 9, a bold reform aimed at cutting 30% of Ohio's regulations over three years. Senator Roegner walks through the inspiration for the bill—seeing Ohio tied with Illinois as one of the most overregulated states in America—and how the plan came together. The legislation established a three-part strategy: eliminate two regulations for every new one introduced, reduce total regulations by 10% each year over three years, and launch a user-friendly website—CutRedTape.Ohio.gov—that empowers citizens to identify outdated or burdensome rules. Sen. Roegner also explains how her background in engineering, finance, and consulting helped her approach regulatory reform with a data-driven mindset. She shares real-world success stories, including a hospital forced to install multiple small boilers due to an archaic rule dating back to the era before the Titanic. David and Sen. Roegner also discuss the growing success of interstate licensing compacts—a common-sense effort she's championed to help professionals like nurses and therapists move and work freely across state lines. With half of Ohio agencies already hitting their reduction targets and the rest on track, Roegner's work shows how local reforms can unleash economic growth, attract businesses, and empower everyday citizens to cut through government red tape.

In this heartfelt episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with Ambrose and Mary Grace Rucker from West Virginia to share the powerful story of their son's birth—and the barriers they faced just trying to find a hospital with a functioning NICU. What should have been one of the most joyful moments of their lives became a race across state lines to find medical care. When Mary Grace developed preeclampsia late in her pregnancy, their only safe option was a hospital 90 minutes away in another state—because the closest in-state facility no longer had a NICU. They aren't alone. In large swaths of West Virginia, families face a harsh reality: limited prenatal options, shuttered facilities, and long drives for urgent care. Ambrose explains why Certificate of Need (CON) laws are to blame—antiquated regulations that give existing hospitals the power to block competitors from opening or expanding, even in underserved areas. The Ruckers' story puts a human face on how government red tape is endangering moms and babies. From the trauma of being separated from their newborn in the NICU to the lack of local birthing centers and OB care, their experience is a wake-up call. Ambrose is now advocating for CON repeal, fighting to make sure no other family has to go through what they did. This episode is a moving reminder that policy has real-life consequences, and that freedom in healthcare starts with removing the barriers that prevent care from being delivered where it's needed most.
