Here are the three big things to know this hour— Number One— UCLA is paying out millions of dollars in a major penalty for creating a Jew Exclusion Zone on its campus – and creating a campus filled with discrimination— Number Two— President Trump has addressed kicking Jefrey Epstein out of Mar-A-Lago—and Ghilaine Maxwell is trying to bust out of prison—as the saga continues— Number Three— It's time to get lean and mean like a fighting machine – the Trump Administration is cutting back on regulations like we've never seen before – and it's a very very good thing!
LIVE SHOW: August 18th in Brooklyn. Tickets here. There are occasional incentives in business that make it very profitable to do bad things; maybe cheat at the game and steal other people's ideas, or cut some corners on safety. In theory, the government as referee steps in to make the rules and enforce them, and manage competition in a way that hopefully makes things better for us all. But you have to ask... When is the government protecting you and when is it protecting the already rich and powerful?We'll meet a man trying to corner the market for frozen meat, with the help of patents. And then we'll head to the salon, and ask — Should the government really require dozens of hours of training for a license to braid hair?

“The winning combination will include not just removal—but real destruction of PFAS.” - Brian Liotta PFAS: The Invisible Challenge Reshaping Water Treatment PFAS chemicals are everywhere—from consumer products to our bloodstream. But as regulations tighten, water treatment professionals must now evolve faster than ever. In this episode of Scaling UP! H2O, host Trace Blackmore speaks with Brian Liotta, Director of Marketing and Product Development at USALCO, about the shifting regulatory landscape and the advanced technologies being developed to monitor, remove, and destroy PFAS compounds. From Industry Curiosity to Regulatory Urgency Brian candidly shares how he “fell into” the world of PFAS, sparked by client questions and his work with AWT's Wastewater Subcommittee. Over time, he became one of the industry's clearest voices on how PFAS is transforming everything from chemical manufacturing to compliance practices. In this conversation, Brian breaks down the science, the timeline, and the technologies professionals need to understand—whether they're manufacturers, consultants, or field engineers. Testing, Treatment, and Destruction: What's Working and What's Coming Testing for PFAS isn't straightforward. Brian outlines why high-performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry are still standard, despite the lack of affordable, field-ready kits. Then, he walks us through the big three: granular activated carbon, ion exchange, and membrane filtration—explaining how each performs and what their operational limits are. He also introduces lesser-known but emerging strategies like foam fractionation, electrostatic concentration, and supercritical water oxidation—some of which could shape the next generation of end-to-end PFAS solutions. The Legal Front: EPA Rules, State Action, and the Chevron Doctrine The conversation turns toward the regulatory environment: from the EPA's national drinking water standard of 4 parts per trillion to individual state actions in California, Maine, New York, and others. Brian unpacks the implications of the Chevron Doctrine being overturned and why this legal shift may slow federal implementation but accelerate state-led policies. What It Means for Water Treatment Professionals Whether you're new to industrial water or managing a large portfolio, Brian delivers a simple but powerful takeaway: understand the regulations, study the technologies, and provide solutions. With PFAS-related services on the rise, the opportunity for technical leadership and business growth is clear—but only for those who do their homework and move early. Conclusion PFAS isn't just a regulatory buzzword—it's a catalyst for innovation. As Brian notes, the most successful professionals will be those who bridge the gap between evolving science and real-world application. This episode equips you with a deeper understanding of what's at stake and how to lead your customers through uncertainty with confidence.

If you're not paying attention, you're not preparing your customers.” “PFAS are in our water, our products, even our bloodstream. This isn't hype—it's science catching up.” “Some of the smartest people I know ask a lot of questions. Curiosity is how you become valuable.” “We're seeing companies build end-to-end treatment trains.

Is free speech in global decline? A new survey suggests public support for free expression is dropping worldwide, with citizens in authoritarian countries like Venezuela and Hungary showing stronger commitment to free speech than many living in democracies.From the unfulfilled digital promises of the Arab Spring to Europe's controversial Digital Services Act, the Internet hasn't necessarily delivered the free speech revolution many predicted. Americans under 30 are less committed to free speech principles than previous generations, while both of the U.S.'s major political parties face accusations of using government power to control information.As AI reshapes how we communicate and governments worldwide rethink speech regulations, what does this mean for the future of human expression? Are we witnessing a fundamental shift in how societies value free speech, or simply recycling ancient debates in digital form?Evan is joined by Jacob Mchangama, Executive Director of The Future of Free Speech at Vanderbilt, and author of Free Speech: A History From Socrates to Social Media, and Ashkhen Kazaryan, Senior Legal Fellow at The Future of Free Speech. Previously, she was the lead for North and Latin America on the content regulation team at Meta.
Regulations to govern the exploration and extraction of rare earth minerals on the seabed of international waters are being hammered out by the UN's International Seabed Authority (ISA) despite the reported decision by the US government to go “alone”.The demand for rare earth minerals, which are needed to make batteries and other technology, is on the increase globally. Jamaica-based ISA is a specialised agency mandated to regulate the deep seabed of international waters, which makes up over 50 per cent of the world's underwater surface area.Its 170 Member States are developing a code of conduct to mine for minerals in a sustainable and equitable way which benefits all nations, not just technologically advanced ones. Eileen Travers spoke to the organization's Secretary-General, Leticia Carvalho, and began by asking her about the status of the code.Read our explainer on ISA and why it matters now here.

Tim Bucher, Co-Founder & CEO, Agtonomy joined Grayson Brulte on The Road to Autonomy podcast to discuss how a 47-year-old California regulation is stalling the adoption of autonomous tractors and threatening the future of farming in the Golden State.Since his last appearance, Agtonomy has entered into a partnership with Kubota to develop autonomous tractors aimed at easing the growing labor shortages in agriculture. Despite this progress, regulatory hurdles remain a significant barrier to scaling these technologies in California. A 47-year-old CAL/OSHA regulation technically prohibits the use of autonomous tractors on private farmland, a law originally implemented to prevent the dangerous practice of “driverless tractors,” where operators would jump off moving machines to complete manual tasks.Today, that outdated regulation is being applied to modern autonomous tractors, creating a de facto ban. As a CAL/OSHA's autonomous ag vehicles committee member, Tim offers a behind-the-scenes look at the slow but promising progress toward updating the law and unlocking the future of farming in California.Episode Chapters0:00 Agtonomy x Kubota6:25 CAL/OSHA Regulations10:36 Historical Context of CAL/OSHA “Driverless” Regulations17:57 CAL/OSHA Advisory Committee23:49 Defining Regulatory Language25:50 Engaging with the Autonomous Ag Community32:15 Labor Issues37:13 Regulations39:58 Regulations & Economics43:35 Preparing for GrowthRecorded on Thursday, July 17, 2025--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy provides market intelligence and strategic advisory services to institutional investors and companies, delivering insights needed to stay ahead of emerging trends in the autonomy economy™.

I've spent the last nine years building something that matters—at least, it matters to me.It's called the Reciprocity Project. It's a platform I started to help researchers and writers get better feedback, improve their work, and deal with the quiet, brutal struggle of doing hard things in isolation.I've posted nearly every day. I've shared thousands of thoughts, built tools, recorded videos, written blog posts, tried to show up in all the ways we're told matter. And still—nearly a decade in—I get people asking:“Wait, what is that again?”And every time I hear that, it hurts. Like… really hurts.Because if you've ever tried to build something meaningful from scratch, you know how demoralizing it is when no one sees it. Not because it's bad. But because the algorithm never let it through.And here's the thing:Most people still have no idea how much of their life is controlled by algorithms.You think you're seeing the world. You're not.You're seeing what a machine thinks you should see.What you hear. Who you talk to. Whether your spouse even gets your message on time. What your kids learn in school. What research gets funded. What books get published. Who gets famous.All of it is filtered, sorted, and ranked by invisible systems you don't control.I'll post something that takes me days—sometimes weeks—to write. Thoughtful. Vulnerable. Built from experience.And it disappears.Even my own wife doesn't see it in her feed. Because the algorithm decided it wasn't relevant to her life as a mom who loves golden retrievers.And it's not just social media.Regulations? Algorithms.Healthcare approvals? Algorithms.Your bank account? Algorithms.The traffic light you're stuck at every morning?Yep—algorithms.And still, we walk around thinking, “If I just work hard enough, someone will notice.”But the truth is more brutal:You can do everything right and still be invisible.Because algorithms don't reward meaning. They reward metrics.And unless your work fits the formula—unless it's popular enough, short enough, shareable enough—you don't exist.So before you give up…Before you assume your project isn't good enough, your writing isn't clear enough, your voice isn't valuable enough—Ask yourself: Did it actually reach anyone?Or did it just get filtered out by a machine that decided, in 0.2 seconds, that you weren't interesting today?I'm not saying this to make you feel worse. I'm saying it because I need to remind myself too.I'm nine years in. Most days, I feel like the only person who knows how hard I've worked is my mom. And I've almost quit more times than I can count.But I haven't.Because once you understand the game, you stop taking it so personally.You stop assuming that silence means failure.You stop chasing perfection for an audience that may never even see you.And you start building anyway.Because that's the only power we've got left—To keep creating, even when the algorithm doesn't care.

The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode 403 HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden GUEST: Dr. Kris Alpers DESCRIPTION In this conversation, Peter Boulden and Kris Alpers discuss the intricacies of building a dental office, covering essential topics such as financing, market analysis, site selection, design, and the construction process. They emphasize the importance of careful planning, effective communication with contractors, and making informed decisions about materials and design to ensure a successful dental practice. They explore the financial benefits of owning real estate, the value of strategic planning in design and technology, and cost-saving strategies during construction. The discussion highlights the long-term advantages of building ownership in the dental industry and offers practical insights for dentists considering this path. TAKEAWAYS Building a dental office requires careful planning and execution. Market analysis helps identify the best locations for dental practices.

This week on the Omni Talk Retail Fast Five podcast, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Simbe, Mirakl, and Ocampo Capital, we dive into the biggest CPG story of the year. Kraft Heinz is preparing to break itself up a decade after the infamous merger orchestrated by Warren Buffett and Brazilian private equity firm 3G Capital Partners. The company plans to spin off a large chunk of its grocery business, including many Kraft products, into a new entity valued as much as $20 billion. This would leave a separate company housing faster-growing offerings like Heinz ketchup, Grey Poupon mustard, and hot sauces that align better with consumer preferences.
The state of Minnesota is asking for input as it looks to change its rules for feedlots for the first time in 25 years. Feedlots are buildings or confined areas where animals are kept for agriculture. There are about 18,000 in the state, according to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. These areas allow livestock producers to raise more animals on less land. They also produce a lot of manure, which can pollute drinking water. Since the state made its last major changes to feedlot regulations in the year 2000, these operations have grown and consolidated. Lisa Sheirer, the MPCA's feedlot section manager, joined Minnesota Now to talk about potential regulation changes for feedlots.
On July 14, 2025, the Supreme Court handed down an 8-0 ruling that's got conservatives across the country cheering. It's a decision that lets President Trump move forward with gutting the federal Department of Education—yep, you heard that right, dismantling a bloated, unconstitutional bureaucracy. And let me tell you, this isn't just about schools. It's about Oklahoma standing up to federal overreach, whether it's from the Department of Education or the EPA trying to nickel-and-dime our diesel truck owners with mandates like the Ram Emissions Recall. So, buckle up, because we're diving into why this is a game-changer for our state and our values. Lt Colonel Allen West also joins me to discuss this return of power back to the states. Also, why Oklahoma must avoid open primaries! Don't miss this important discussion!

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you a law firm owner looking for advice on how to make your firm more lucrative? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Tyson interviews Ted DeBettencourt, a JD/MBA and a business owner. Ted shares his journey from Martha's Vineyard to legal tech entrepreneurship, discussing the island's unique culture and his transition from law to business. To run a successful law firm, it is important that certain processes are in place and run efficiently to turn a profit. An important thing to implement is to ensure there are more staff over auto responders and AI for Local Service Ads (LSA). LSA's will rank firms based on response times and this can affect how people perceive your firm at the first click. If your response time is slow, most people will not call you for help. Using real people to answer leads and call prospective clients will ensure you get off on the right foot with people who are looking for legal support.Ted and Tyson chat about the three most important marketing metrics for a successful law firm. The first metric is wanted leads. It is important to know how many leads are actually wanted, in which a firm will be interested in taking on. The second metric is signed rates. Out of the wanted leads, how many of them were signed on as actual cases for the firm. This will determine how successful a firm is when it comes to the number of cases that are taken on and it can show value. The third metric is average case value. This can be determined by how much a firm makes in a year based on the type of cases. Ultimately, the average case value will let someone know how successful a firm really is.Listen in to learn more!05:25 Google Local Services Ads (LSA) and Lead Response06:49 Manual vs. Automated Lead Response07:46 Importance of Fast Lead Response09:20 AI vs. Human Chat: Present and Future10:37 Human Connection in the Age of AI11:26 Regulations and Human-Only Policies23:14 What Sets Successful Law Firms Apart25:54 Key Marketing Metrics for Law FirmsTune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here.

E-bikes have been a topic of conversation recently as some towns around Buffalo, with Clarence being the latest, are trying to make changes to their local laws when it comes to the use of e-bikes on town trails.

And to close things out, while the deadline for some parishes to make their payment toward the abuse settlement has been pushed back, tomorrow is July 15th, the original deadline for parishes to pay up. What do you hope your parish does?
