These days, AI is everywhere, and it's increasingly hard to separate the gains from the slop. With that in mind, we're re-releasing my conversation with Stanford Law professor Daniel Ho on the future of AI and the law. When we look for applications where AI can deliver measurable benefit, the legal profession stands out, both for its potential gains in efficiency and equity, and for how much is at stake if we get it wrong. Dan's research — from using AI to identify racist property covenants buried in county deed records, to mapping obsolete regulations that waste thousands of hours of government time — shows what's possible when the technology is applied with rigor and purpose. If you're curious about how AI can serve both justice and good governance, this one is well worth another listen. Have a question for Russ?

Episode 83 dives into a market structure topic that does not get enough attention, that is the rules governing issuers involved in share buyback programs. Joining the pod are two share buyback experts: Michael Seigne from Candor Partners in the UK and Paul Dotson, TD's trader responsible for handling trading for issuers in buyback programs in the US. In this episode, Paul and Michael discuss the history of share buyback rules and the need for modernization given changes to market structure dynamics. Research published separately by TD Securities and Candor suggests that less than ½ of daily volume is available to issuers limited to certain trading windows as a result of rule restrictions which, according to Michael, are even more onerous in Europe and the UK and result in frictional costs that are double the trading costs in the US. The discussion ends with the politics of buybacks, a topic that comes and goes based on the political winds and gained attention in the US recently with rules enacted by the Current Trump Administration to limit buyback activity for companies in the defense sector. This podcast was recorded on July 16th, 2026. Chapter Headings: 01:38 Current Buyback Rules 04:05 Hidden Costs to Issuers of Changing Trading Patterns by Natural Investors 16:04 Why Buyback Trading Costs are Higher in Europe? 33:26 What is an ASR and How is it Different from 10b-5 or 10b-18 Plans? 42:21 Why Now is a Good Time to Push for Reforms? 54:09 The Politics of Buybacks For relevant disclosures, visit: tdsecurities.com/ca/en/legal#PodcastDisclosure.

Minister for Older People, Kieran O'Donnell discusses what is planned to improve the conditions and care in some of our nursing homes.
The future of California agriculture will depend on water reliability, regulatory reform, and stronger support for rural communities, according to Assemblyman David Tangipa. During a recent appearance on the AgNet News Hour, Tangipa discussed the challenges facing farmers, proposed new taxes, wildfire preparedness, and why he believes California must change course to remain competitive. Tangipa said California agriculture continues to face mounting pressure from regulations that increase production costs while making it more difficult for growers to compete with producers in other states and countries. He argued that many of the state's policies are created without sufficient input from the people who work in agriculture every day. One issue Tangipa highlighted was California's proposal to expand taxes to certain business services and commercial software. While aimed at generating additional state revenue, he warned the proposal could increase operating costs for businesses across California, including agricultural operations that depend on specialized software for irrigation management, payroll, accounting, and compliance. "We continue to ask businesses to do more while making it harder for them to succeed," Tangipa said. "At some point, people simply decide it's easier to do business somewhere else." Water infrastructure also remained a major focus of the conversation. Tangipa said California has failed to adequately invest in new water storage and conveyance projects despite experiencing both severe droughts and years with abundant rainfall. He believes expanding storage capacity would improve water reliability for agriculture, communities, and environmental needs alike. Tangipa also discussed wildfire preparedness, saying California must continue investing in forest management, fuel reduction, and emergency response capabilities. He noted that protecting rural communities and agricultural lands requires proactive management rather than reacting after disasters occur. Throughout the interview, Tangipa emphasized that California's farmers are among the most innovative and productive in the world but often operate under some of the nation's most restrictive regulations. He said preserving agriculture will require policies that encourage investment instead of creating additional uncertainty. The discussion also touched on California's political future as voters prepare for the 2026 gubernatorial election. Tangipa encouraged Californians to become informed about candidates' positions on agriculture, water, energy, and rural economic development before heading to the polls. "We have to make sure the people making decisions understand the consequences those decisions have on the families producing our food," Tangipa said. Despite the challenges, Tangipa remains optimistic that California can restore its agricultural competitiveness through practical policymaking, improved infrastructure, and stronger collaboration between lawmakers and the farming community. He said California's natural resources, climate, and farmers continue to make the state one of the world's premier agricultural regions, provided future policies support rather than hinder those advantages.

The second half of AgNet News Hour's conversation with Roger Isom focused on what he believes are the biggest issues facing California agriculture: water infrastructure, regulatory reform, and the state's upcoming governor's race. The president and CEO of the Western Tree Nut Association and California Cotton Ginners and Growers Association outlined a lengthy list of legislative and regulatory issues that agricultural organizations are monitoring while encouraging Californians to become more engaged in the political process. Isom said one of agriculture's greatest opportunities is the renewed federal focus on California water infrastructure. He pointed to ongoing discussions surrounding projects such as raising Shasta Dam, expanding Sites Reservoir, increasing storage at San Luis Reservoir, improving water conveyance systems, and investing in groundwater recharge. He argued that California must capitalize on the current momentum to improve long-term water reliability for both agriculture and communities. One initiative Isom highlighted is the San Joaquin Valley Water Blueprint's Unified Water Plan, which seeks to bring together agricultural organizations, water districts, municipalities, and other stakeholders to identify comprehensive solutions for California's future water needs. He described the effort as an important step toward developing a coordinated statewide strategy rather than relying on fragmented regional approaches. Beyond water policy, Isom discussed several regulatory proposals currently affecting California agriculture. Those include legislation involving pesticide-treated seeds, restrictions on rodenticide use, workplace safety regulations involving farm gates and irrigation infrastructure, and continued implementation of California's packaging regulations. He said many of these proposals create additional compliance costs while offering limited practical benefit for growers. According to Isom, California producers continue operating under some of the nation's most stringent environmental, labor, and workplace regulations while competing directly against growers from other states and countries that do not face similar requirements. He warned that those increasing costs make it more difficult for California agriculture to remain competitive over the long term. The conversation also turned to California's 2026 gubernatorial election. While discussing the importance of agricultural policy, Isom encouraged voters to become informed about candidates' positions on water, regulations, and farming. He emphasized that participation in the election process is critical for the future of California agriculture and urged eligible voters to make their voices heard. Isom said one of his long-term goals is to see California reduce the regulatory burden placed on agriculture. "I'd love to see the day where organizations like ours aren't needed simply to help growers navigate regulations," Isom said, explaining that much of his organization's work centers on helping members comply with California's increasingly complex regulatory environment. Throughout the interview, Isom stressed that California remains one of the world's premier agricultural regions because of its climate, soils, and production expertise. He argued that maintaining a strong agricultural sector will require continued investment in water infrastructure, practical regulations, and policies that allow growers to remain competitive while continuing to produce safe, high-quality food and fiber.

Can artificial intelligence help make government more efficient while saving taxpayers and businesses billions of dollars? On this episode of Texas Talks, host Brad Swail sits down with Reeve Bull, Policy Director at the Fulcrum Foundation and former Director of the Office of Regulatory Management under Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin, to discuss one of the nation's most successful state regulatory reform efforts—and how Texas is building on that success with artificial intelligence. Bull explains how Virginia eliminated or streamlined more than 35% of its regulatory requirements, reduced nearly half the words in agency guidance documents, and generated an estimated $1.4 billion in annual savings for residents and businesses—all while maintaining protections for public health and safety. The conversation covers: How Virginia reduced regulatory burdens and saved taxpayers billions Using AI to review regulations, permits, and government guidance Why transparency is just as important as cutting regulations Texas' new Regulatory Efficiency Office (TRIO) and what comes next Occupational licensing reform and reducing unnecessary barriers to work How states can compare regulations and learn from one another The future of AI in modernizing state government Bull also discusses how AI can rapidly identify outdated regulations, duplicate rules across agencies, and compare state regulatory codes—tasks that would traditionally require thousands of hours of manual review. Throughout the discussion, he argues that smarter regulation isn't about eliminating necessary protections, but ensuring government rules are effective, transparent, and no more burdensome than they need to be. 00:00 — Virginia's $1.4 billion regulatory reform 00:29 — Intro + Meet Reeve Bull 02:08 — Why regulations matter 04:12 — The cosmetology licensing example 08:32 — The goals behind Virginia's reforms 09:29 — Cost-benefit analysis explained 14:48 — Reviewing every regulation 16:31 — How AI changed the process 21:58 — AI's biggest advantages 27:17 — Did Virginia meet its goals? 30:37 — Texas' TRIO initiative 35:07 — How reforms actually get approved 37:22 — Building support for regulatory reform 40:14 — Why now is the right time for AI 42:25 — The Fulcrum Foundation 43:30 — Closing thoughts Watch Full-Length Interviews: https://www.youtube.com/@TexasTalks Follow us on social mediaX: @Texas_DispatchInstagram: thetexasdispatchLinkedIn: The Texas DispatchTikTok: texas_talks_podcast Find more at The Texas DispatchYour source for state news, policy, and investigative journalism.https://thetexasdispatch.com
In this episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with Virginia Delegate Michael Webert to discuss the impact of regulatory reform and what's at stake for the future of the Commonwealth. Delegate Webert breaks down how the Virginia Office of Regulatory Management—created under Governor Glenn Youngkin—has streamlined burdensome rules, cut red tape, and saved taxpayers significant money, including an estimated $26,000 per home. With a looming deadline and shifting political leadership, those reforms are now at risk. Webert shares concerns about increasing regulations, rising energy costs, and the potential rollback of policies that have helped businesses grow and families afford housing. From farming to housing to energy policy, this conversation highlights how everyday regulations can quietly shape the cost of living—and why protecting reform efforts is critical to keeping Virginia competitive and affordable.

Paul and Reeve discuss how New Mexico could achieve similar regulatory reforms right here in "Blue" New Mexico.
Erica Bornstein, Professor of Anthropology at the University of Oregon (and Divisional Associate Dean), has a new book that delves into the regulatory reforms within the nonprofit sector in India. These reforms transpired over more than a decade, and Bornstein spent extended time developing this ethnographic study of not only the changes, but the institutional structures that manage nonprofit organizations and how the various regulatory decisions are made. The research explores the ways in which these changes happened, exploring the various actors within the discussions, and evaluating the process of change within the nonprofit sector in India. A Revolution of Rules: The Regulatory Reform of India's Nonprofit Sector (Stanford UP, 2025) is a deeply researched undertaking, paying attention not only to the shifts and changes that were happening in New Delhi, at the seat of the national government, but also in towns and communities in other parts of India, where similar dialogue and processes were also happening, and where the results of so many of these changes could be seen as they moved into implementation. In order to think through the analysis in A Revolution of Rules we must also think about the nonprofit sector as a significant part of political structure in India (and elsewhere). As we discuss in our conversation, there are essentially three sectors, the government or the public sector, the private sector, and the nonprofit sector. Each sector is managed differently and operates towards different ends. But part of the role of the nonprofit sector is to provide capacity where the public sector may not be able to or is not able to fulfill demands. This space, where the rules and regulations are being revised, reformed, and rewritten is where, in a very interesting way, democracy is happening. These are civil society organizations, embedded within the structure of political and economic outcomes, but distinct from both sectors. Since these groups are not aiming at making a profit, the regulatory regime is in a kind of counterpoint to capitalism, and thus in need of different kinds of rules regimes. This is where various stakeholders are coming together to negotiate with each as to how best to manage nonprofits, which are not all the same by any measure, and have different goals, different funding streams, different processes, and different policy formats. This makes the process of regulation complex, since there are constellations of parts that fall under differing kinds of management. This undertaking, designing modes of regulation and policy processes, is not an exercise in creating red tape as much as it is designing processes to achieve important goals and capacities. Bornstein explains that writing policy of this kind, that writing laws is actually writing the future, or as she notes in the book, “writing the horizon”—writing what will happen. With this in mind, A Revolution of Rules: The Regulatory Reform of India's Nonprofit Sector provides the reader with a fascinating exploration of how these organizations operate and how they can best be managed, especially with the aim of achieving benefits for individuals and society as a whole.

A Revolution of Rules: The Regulatory Reform of India's Nonprofit Sector (Stanford UP, 2025) is a deeply researched undertaking, paying attention not only to the shifts and changes that were happening in New Delhi, at the seat of the national government, but also in towns and communities in other parts of India, where similar dialogue and processes were also happening, and where the results of so many of these changes could be seen as they moved into implementation. In order to think through the analysis in A Revolution of Rules we must also think about the nonprofit sector as a significant part of political structure in India (and elsewhere). As we discuss in our conversation, there are essentially three sectors, the government or the public sector, the private sector, and the nonprofit sector. Each sector is managed differently and operates towards different ends. But part of the role of the nonprofit sector is to provide capacity where the public sector may not be able to or is not able to fulfill demands. This space, where the rules and regulations are being revised, reformed, and rewritten is where, in a very interesting way, democracy is happening. These are civil society organizations, embedded within the structure of political and economic outcomes, but distinct from both sectors. Since these groups are not aiming at making a profit, the regulatory regime is in a kind of counterpoint to capitalism, and thus in need of different kinds of rules regimes. This is where various stakeholders are coming together to negotiate with each as to how best to manage nonprofits, which are not all the same by any measure, and have different goals, different funding streams, different processes, and different policy formats. This makes the process of regulation complex, since there are constellations of parts that fall under differing kinds of management. This undertaking, designing modes of regulation and policy processes, is not an exercise in creating red tape as much as it is designing processes to achieve important goals and capacities. Bornstein explains that writing policy of this kind, that writing laws is actually writing the future, or as she notes in the book, “writing the horizon”—writing what will happen. With this in mind, A Revolution of Rules: The Regulatory Reform of India's Nonprofit Sector provides the reader with a fascinating exploration of how these organizations operate and how they can best be managed, especially with the aim of achieving benefits for individuals and society as a whole.

Is the “Texas Miracle” still alive — and what does it take to keep Texas competitive in 2026 and beyond? In this episode of Texas Talks, Megan Mauro, Interim President and CEO of the Texas Association of Business (TAB), joins Brad Swail to break down the state of the Texas economy. As the state chamber of commerce representing businesses of every size and industry, TAB sits at the center of Texas' pro-growth policy debates.

She discusses HB 9's business personal property tax exemption increase, why consistency across Texas' 254 counties matters, and how the Legislature is approaching affordability and housing challenges. The conversation also dives into: Why Texas is the 7th largest economy in the world Attracting corporate headquarters while protecting small businesses The importance of USMCA for Texas trade Workforce alignment between industry and education Childcare as a workforce issue Why data centers and AI are both economic and national security priorities Texas' “all of the above and below” energy strategy Mauro makes the case that a thriving business climate isn't just about corporations — it's about livelihoods, job creation, and ensuring Texas families can continue building the American dream.

The Trump administration has been easing regulations, accelerating project approvals, and proclaiming its undying support for the oil and gas industry. But much of the oil patch is in the doldrums.

In today's RBN blog, we'll discuss the contrast between what the industry had hoped 2025 would bring and how things stand now.

The ubiquitous deployment of both wireless and wireline technology is critical to 5G and other next generation services. However, lengthy permitting processes, as well as burdensome NEPA and NHPA requirements, continue to slow infrastructure builds. As the Trump Administration continues to prioritize streamlining rules and regulations, as well as promoting access to reliable, affordable broadband internet, all eyes are on the FCC, NTIA, and the Hill to see what may come next. This webinar features Paul Beaudry, Vice President of Regulatory and Government Affairs for Cogeco, Tony Clark, Executive Director of the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners and former Commissioner of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and Caroline Van Wie, Vice President of Federal Regulatory at AT&T. Danielle Thumann, Senior Counsel to FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, will moderate and participate in the discussion.
With small farms making up the majority of U.S. agriculture, the American Farm Bureau Federation is pushing for policies that protect family-run operations. As California farmers face mounting challenges, new USDA attention could bring much-needed support.
Lina Khan recently concluded her term as one of the Biden administration's most controversial leaders. Her tenure as chair of the Federal Trade Commission raised the profile of the relatively obscure antitrust agency charged with protecting competition. Her anti-monopoly outlook and more aggressive enforcement strategies, particularly toward Big Tech market power and protecting workers, earned the ire of the business community and the dedicated vitriol of the Wall Street Journal editorial board.Khan began her term as the youngest-ever appointee of the FTC. She initially rose to prominence for her 2017 Yale Law Journal article, “Amazon's Antitrust Paradox,” which went viral among the antitrust community for its argument that scholars and regulators must look beyond prices to understand what constitutes a harm from a lack of competition, especially in today's digital economy where many services are nominally provided for free to consumers. Fresh out of law school, Khan appeared on a Capitalisn't episode in our first season and wrote for our sister publication at the Stigler Center, ProMarket, as far back as 2018. She also delivered two keynote addresses at the Stigler Center's annual Antitrust and Competition Conferences while FTC chair.On this episode, Khan returns to Capitalisn't to reflect on her tenure, her vision of capitalism, and how her approach to enforcing existing laws with new thinking may have impacted the everyday lives of Americans. How does she respond to her critics, who include major Democratic business leaders? How does she view the new Trump administration, which is continuing many of her transformative policies, including revised merger guidelines and major lawsuits? As a senator, Vice President JD Vance said she was “one of the few people in the Biden administration actually doing a pretty good job.” Reflecting on her work, Khan also touches upon how conflicts of interest among corporate lawyers and consultants, former bureaucrats, and academics distort policymaking, court rulings, and market outcomes. Finally, she highlights the antitrust issues to pay attention to moving forward, such as algorithmic collusion.Show Notes: Also, check out ProMarket's series on the future of the Neo-Brandesian movement, of which Lina Khan is an emblematic figure.
Excessive regulations can strangle small businesses, delay job creation, and burden entrepreneurs with unnecessary red tape. But in Georgia, leaders are taking action to fix it. In this episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones to discuss the Red Tape Rollback Act, a bold initiative aimed at reducing government overreach and making the state more business-friendly. Jones explains how the legislation will require every state agency to regularly review and justify their regulations, ensuring only necessary and effective rules remain in place. He also highlights how regulatory burdens often create backlogs, slow licensing processes, and make it harder for individuals and businesses to thrive. As a lifelong businessman, Jones brings firsthand experience in dealing with government inefficiencies and is leading the charge to make Georgia a national model for streamlined governance. Tune in to hear how cutting through red tape will promote economic growth, create more opportunities, and put power back in the hands of the people.
