This week, we hope you can sing in Mermish or fire an arrow cleanly, because we're paying tribute to the great Albus Dumbledore. Join Andrew, Eric, Micah and Laura as they wrap the sixth book in the Harry Potter series! Welcome Slug Club Member Sam! Chapter-by-Chapter of Half-Blood Prince concludes with Chapter 30, "The White Tomb" Harry has developed a mantra of all of the remaining Horcruxes. Did we ever establish similar practices when we were younger? Could the rope ladder turning to snakes in Harry's dream actually be the Horcrux within him preventing him from obtaining the others? Harry makes some astute observations about Snape and Voldemort. Do we think it's a fair comparison? Pity for Draco: What does this say about Harry's character development? Is Dumbledore's funeral is as much about paying tribute to him as it is about a transfer of responsibility? Should Harry have accepted the offer to have Auror protection/assistance? Dumbledore is clearly beloved by the wizarding community. Is his funeral a reflection of the unity he was so desperately working toward? We celebrate and question the presence of certain characters who attend Dumbledore's funeral The Symbolism of The White Tomb On our Lynx Line, we asked our patrons how they would pay tribute to Dumbledore? Quizzitch: With an in-person attendance of only 2,000 people, what funeral took place in the UK during the 90's whose television audience is estimated to be 2.5 billion?

Angela explains that believers often need wisdom in complicated situations, but the challenge is learning to distinguish between human opinion and the wisdom God generously promises to give when we ask.The discussion also highlights the importance of testing the spirits, making sure every word, impression, or piece of advice lines up with Scripture and confesses Jesus Christ as Lord. TS emphasizes that true wisdom will never contradict the Word of God and that prayer must remain central when giving or receiving counsel.Angela shares practical insight on giving wisdom with gentleness, mercy, sincerity, and humility. She also discusses how wisdom applies to relationships, marriage, forgiveness, reconciliation, and difficult conversations among believers. Together, they stress that pursuing peace does not mean avoiding truth, but speaking truth in love under the leadership of the Holy Spirit.The episode also connects wisdom with prayer, faith, and knowledge. Angela reminds listeners that a healthy prayer life helps believers stay in step with God, while TS encourages praying the Word and giving up the need to always be right so that God's wisdom can take its proper place.Angela also briefly shares about her book, Difficult to Conceive: A Godly Perspective for the Road Ahead, written for women walking through infertility. The book includes encouragement on grief, prayer, wisdom, and trusting God's direction through difficult seasons.Key Scriptures Mentioned:James 1:5James 3:171 John 41 Corinthians 11 Peter 3:15Key Takeaways:God promises to give wisdom generously to those who ask.True wisdom must be tested by Scripture and the lordship of Jesus Christ.Godly wisdom is pure, peace-loving, gentle, merciful, impartial, and sincere.Prayer is essential when giving or receiving advice.Believers must learn to give up the need to be right and allow God's wisdom to lead.Guest:Angela MackeyWebsite: AngelaMackey.comCall to Action:Visit AngelaMackey.com to learn more about Angela's ministry and her book, Difficult to Conceive: A Godly Perspective for the Road Ahead.

There was an additional discussion on the ongoing need for education for everyone involved in children's lives around online gaming and also the federal government's introduction last week of the Safe Social Media Act to limit kids' exposure to social media.

Like many people, I've been following the developments of AI, testing out new models and following the deluge of news stories about the fight for supremacy. Much has been written about the existential and economic risks posed by AI, but the political implications of superintelligent systems have often been sidelined. In the United States and elsewhere, AI companies steam ahead with little regulation or oversight. Meanwhile, politicians appear flatfooted and unsure about the best way to integrate AI into the government to make democracies stronger and more responsive to the needs and will of the people. AI will undeniably change how governments work, but how can we ensure that democracy and individual rights are safeguarded amidst the most transformative technological revolution in more than a century? Today I'm speaking with Andrew Sorota, Head of Research for the Office of Eric Schmidt. Andrew has written extensively about the relationship between democracy and artificial intelligence. His writing has appeared in outlets like the New York Times and Noema magazine. Andrew will dispel many myths about AI, where he looks to call bullshit on the idea that democracy is a system heading fast into the dustbin of history.

Greg Bluestein and Patricia Murphy dig into Jon Ossoff's on-the-record pushback against 2028 presidential speculation, including what Patricia heard directly from the senator and why both of them think the chatter says as much about the Democratic Party's search for a leader as it does about Ossoff himself. They also size up the Republican Senate runoff, now days away, with Buddy Carter's 25 percent of the primary vote still up for grabs and both Mike Collins and Derek Dooley working to lock in his supporters before June 16th. The governor's race gets attention too, as Rick Jackson looks to consolidate Chris Carr's voters while navigating the volatility of invoking Brad Raffensperger's name with Trump still on the sidelines.

When Thoma Bravo took a majority stake in Casepoint in January 2025 and merged it with the government-software company OPEXUS, it set the e-discovery pioneer on a broader course — deeper into the government market and squarely into FOIA and case management. Now the company has a new leader to see that course through: Paul Colangelo, a 25-year veteran of government and enterprise software, who was named Casepoint's CEO this week. In this episode, recorded just before the announcement, Colangelo joins host Bob Ambrogi for his first podcast interview in the role. He talks about the mandate he's been handed 18 months into the Thoma Bravo era, why he believes mission-critical government software is "DOGE-proof, recession-proof, pandemic-proof," and how Casepoint intends to stand apart in a crowded e-discovery field on security and governance. He also discusses the company's investment in agentic AI and the need to keep a "human in the loop," the customer tension between AI's promise and unpredictable token-based pricing, and why he expects bolt-on acquisitions ahead. Along the way, he reflects on the founders who built Casepoint and the culture he hopes to shape as he takes the helm.

The fashion and textiles industry accounts for up to 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions, consumes 93 billion cubic meters of water annually, and generates 92 million tons of waste each year — yet only 1% of textiles are recycled back into new products. In this episode, we sit down with three leading experts to unpack one of the most resource-intensive industries on the planet and explore what a genuinely circular textiles sector could look like.We're joined by Mark Sumner, Head of Textiles at WRAP; Sarah Morley, Strategic Engagement Manager at WRAP Americas; and Linda Breggin, Senior Attorney at the Environmental Law Institute. Together, we trace the full lifecycle of a garment from field to landfill, examine fast fashion as a consumer behavior rather than just a retail phenomenon, and explore how circular design, durability standards, voluntary industry agreements, and policy intervention are beginning to reshape the system.Whether you're working in sustainability, environmental policy, waste reduction, or supply chain management, this episode offers both the big-picture framework and the on-the-ground insights you need to understand where the textiles industry is headed — and what it will take to get there.

In this episode, Chris sits down with Josh Zegen, Co-Founder & Managing Principal of Madison Realty Capital, a $25 billion real estate private credit firm he started with his college roommate in 2004. They dig into how he built one of the largest private lenders in the country starting from a desk in his dad's law office - and why he still thinks of himself as a businessman first and a real estate guy second. Josh got into lending almost by accident. Laid off from a VC firm at 26 when the dot-com bubble burst, he took one mortgage deal nobody else would do, saw how fragmented and non-institutional the market was, and built a fund around it before "private credit" meant anything. Chris and Josh go deep on surviving '08, reinventing the business when capital dried up, and how Madison grew into a platform that now lends to other lenders. They discuss: How Josh went from a laid-off VC associate living back home to founding a $25B firm Surviving '09 - including giving up 50% of the company for a $50M anchor that collapsed at the last minute Why he built servicing, asset management, and capital raising in-house instead of outsourcing The $10B back-leverage book that makes Madison the lender to ~100 other private lenders The $720M single loan behind the largest office-to-residential conversion in NYC Where he sees real estate credit headed - and why he stays away from office, data centers, and anything "binary" Timestamps:(00:00) Intro(00:52) Rate Volatility and a Stalled CRE Investment Market(09:44) What's Getting Done Today: Construction, Conversions, and Recaps(18:49) Founding Madison: Seeing Opportunity in a Fragmented Market(25:19) The GFC: Gating Investors and Going Vertically Integrated(31:26) The $50M REIT Deal That Nearly Ended Madison—And the Door It Opened(44:28) Why Borrowers Now Prefer Private Credit Over Banks(47:17) In-House Loan Servicing as Madison's Competitive Edge(49:06) The Back Leverage Business: Lending to Private Lenders(55:35) Capital Markets Expansion and Staying True to Real Estate(1:05:55) The Pfizer Deal, Lifecycle Lending, and Madison's Road Ahead(1:15:06) Staying Relevant by Constantly Innovating and Looking for Acquisition Opportunities ----- Presented by Airshare: Trusted across the country for fractional ownership, jet cards, charter, and aircraft management, Airshare gives you a smarter way to fly private - over 25 years of experience, operating their own fleet, with the top safety ratings in the industry.

The college graduates in the Class of 2026 have not had an easy path. Part of their high school years were spent in Covid lockdown. And now, they are graduating into a difficult economy pockmarked by political strife, high cost of living and the rise of AI. Nationally, more than 40% of recent college graduates are considered underemployed, working in jobs that do not require their degree, and the unemployment rate for recent grads has risen to 5.6%. Graduating into uncertain economic cycles is nothing new, but how are this year's graduates coping? We'll talk to students about their experiences and to experts about how to navigate this job market. Guests: Emily Medress, chief strategy and operations officer, Kissick Family Foundation Stella Occhialini, graduating senior, UC Berkeley Caden Chang, college senior, San Jose State University Anita Manuel, associate director, career education, San Jose State University Nicole Smith, research professor and chief economist, Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce Learn more about your ad choices.

This week I'm sharing the fourth and final installment from the day-long conference convened by the Institute for America, China, and the Future of Global Affairs (ACF) at Johns Hopkins SAIS on April 3rd in Washington — “The China Debate We're Not Having: Politics, Technology, and the Road Ahead.” The first three episodes featured Jessica Chen Weiss's opening remarks and the panels on what China wants, what the United States wants, and tech rivalry and competing visions of the future. This final installment is a fireside conversation between Henry Farrell and Alondra Nelson, followed by Jessica's closing remarks.Once again, my deep thanks to Jessica Chen Weiss, ACF's inaugural faculty director, for organizing this terrific conference and for so generously letting me share this audio with Sinica listeners.Henry Farrell, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Agora Institute Professor of International Affairs at SAIS, sits down with Alondra Nelson — Harold F. Linder Professor of Social Science at the Institute for Advanced Study and former Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy — for what turns out to be the day's most generative reframing of the AI race. Henry begins by asking how it is that ideas once confined to 1980s science fiction — the singularity, AGI, brains-in-vats — have come to anchor mainstream American AI policy discourse. Alondra traces the genealogy back to the “Californian ideology” and the long history of outré thinking in Silicon Valley, but her real point is that something has shifted: U.S. negative sentiment around AI has been climbing and plateauing high since 2022, even as adoption has spread — the opposite of the usual technology-acceptance curve, and the opposite of what's happening in China, Nigeria, or Brazil.From there the conversation opens up into what I found to be its richest vein: the contrast between a Cartesian, disembodied American conception of AI — “we're working on the brains,” as Sam Altman put it when OpenAI shut down its robotics team in 2022 — and a more embodied approach that integrates the cognitive and the physical, which is part of what's powered China's advances in advanced manufacturing and robotics. Alondra is sharp on the costs of the brain-in-a-vat framing: it treats AI as a state of exception in which existing laws and institutions somehow don't apply, and it lets us float aspirational claims (”AI will cure cancer”) that elide all the clunky institutional stewardship actually required to get from aspiration to outcome.She also offers an incisive reading of the Trump administration's AI policy — which, she argues, is misleadingly described as “deregulatory.” Between export controls, the golden share in Intel, immigration restrictions on STEM talent, and the administration's tight stewardship of who wins and who loses in the AI ecosystem, this is industrial policy by another name — and a narrowing of democratic input over decisions of enormous infrastructural consequence.The conversation closes with Henry asking what a small-d democratic successor administration ought to do, and Alondra's answer is bracingly practical: get rid of the state of exception, take the material supply chain of AI seriously (data centers, electricity, critical minerals, communities), let state-level policy generate evidence about what works, and aim for high-watermark aspirations — North Stars, in the spirit of the AI Bill of Rights — rather than pretending the technology itself will deliver our values.Jessica then offers her closing remarks, thanking the panelists, previewing the ACF Insights Series, and putting out the call for new junior fellows at the Institute.Participants:Alondra Nelson, Harold F.

Introduction What if the most dangerous thing about a commercial fleet route could be identified before the truck ever left the yard? The insurance industry has spent decades pricing commercial auto risk using historical loss data and, more recently, real-time telematics. But neither tells you what's waiting around the next bend. The forward-looking layer has never existed. Goetz Weber is a theoretical physicist turned mapping executive turned insurtech founder. After a decade at TomTom and HERE Technologies optimizing routes for time and distance, he asked a different question: why isn't anyone optimizing for risk? RouteRisk.ai is his answer. The company scores every commercial route across sixty-plus variables before dispatch, producing what Weber calls "a FICO score for fleet routes." In this conversation, Josh Hollander and Weber dig into the science behind segment-level route scoring, the insurance market's fourteen-year losing streak on commercial auto, and why giving the technology away for free might be the smartest distribution strategy in fleet insurtech. Guest Bio Goetz Weber holds a PhD in quantum field theory and spent over a decade in the navigation and mapping industry, serving as VP of Innovation at TomTom and previously at HERE Technologies. In those roles, he worked directly with fleet operators, fleet management companies, and logistics platforms. He founded RouteRisk.ai to address a gap he identified firsthand: routing companies optimize for cost, time, and distance, but nobody scores risk. RouteRisk is now Series A funded, integrating with platforms like Samsara, and building its go-to-market for insurance distribution. Key Topics • The missing layer in fleet risk assessment - Historical data looks backward, telematics looks at the present, but nobody scores what's about to happen. RouteRisk fills the forward-looking gap with pre-dispatch route scoring. • Sixty-plus variables in a single route score - Static road geometry, forward weather, traffic predictions, vehicle physics, cargo sensitivity, theft corridors, and incident history, all scored at the segment level and aggregated with interaction effects. • The FICO analogy for fleet routes - A composite risk score that tells dispatchers, fleet operators, and insurers the risk profile of a specific route, at a specific time, for a specific vehicle carrying specific cargo. • Risk appetite as underwriting data - When a fleet operator chooses a route scored at 80 over one scored at 40, that decision is captured. Over time, this builds a behavioral profile of risk appetite that insurers have never had access to. • Free-to-fleet, monetize-through-insurance - RouteRisk gives the scoring tool to fleet operators at no cost (reducing their accidents and insurance leverage) and sells the risk decision data to carriers and reinsurers. • Three paths to insurance market entry - Form a proprietary MGA, partner with existing fleet insurers on incentive-based pricing, or go directly to reinsurers who bear nuclear verdict risk. • Why this isn't the telematics adoption problem - Telematics monitors drivers (creating resistance). RouteRisk scores roads and empowers dispatchers. No cameras, no surveillance, no cost barrier. Notable Quotes "I think of vehicles moving through space as moving through risk fields, dynamic risk fields that come and go, whether it's weather, traffic, road conditions, theft hotspots." "If I show you two routes and one has a risk score of forty and one has a risk score of eighty, and you choose the eighty, I've captured your risk appetite. And that data is gold for an insurer." "If you and I both go to a ski resort, but you do extreme downhill and I do cross-country, technically we should have different insurance programs. Our data reveals which fleet operators are the extreme downhillers and which are the cross-country skiers." "Risk should be visible and manageable before it materializes, not just measured after it has."

In this deeply honest and faith-centered conversation, Angela Mackey joins TS Wright to discuss one of the most challenging journeys many believers face—infertility, grief, and trusting God when life doesn't unfold as expected.Angela opens up about her personal story, growing up in a strong Christian home and walking closely with the Lord from a young age. However, her faith was tested in profound ways when she experienced multiple ectopic pregnancies, forcing her to wrestle with difficult questions about God's goodness, timing, and sovereignty.This episode explores what it truly means to worship God—not just in blessing, but in suffering.Key Topics DiscussedGrowing up in faith and misconceptions about “earning” blessingsFacing infertility and the emotional/spiritual toll it bringsThe tension between God's ability vs. His will (“Even if He doesn't…”)Lessons from Daniel 3 and unwavering faith in the fireWhy grief and joy often coexist in the Christian lifeThe importance of lament and honesty before GodAvoiding idolatry of dreams, identity, and expectationsKeeping Christ at the center of marriage during hardshipPractical wisdom for couples walking through infertilityLearning to trust God's “yes” and His “no”Key TakeawaysYou are not alone—infertility affects 1 in 6 couplesGod's goodness is not defined by outcomesSilence and presence are often more powerful than words in griefWorship is a lifestyle—even in sufferingIntimacy with God requires vulnerability and honestyTrusting God means surrendering control of the storyAbout Angela MackeyAngela Mackey is an author, speaker, and podcast host of “Life as Worship.” Her ministry focuses on helping believers live lives that glorify God—even in life's darkest moments.She is the author of: “Difficult to Conceive: A Godly Perspective for the Road Ahead” – a resource for women navigating infertility with faith and hope.Connect with AngelaWebsite: https://angelamackey.comPodcast: Life as WorshipBook: Difficult to Conceive (available on Amazon and major retailers)Follow TS Wright and the Kingdom Cross Roads.Check out this link to view Kingdom Cross Roads on TV.https://jesussaid.tv/?affiliate=tswright_gccTo get a copy of our new book "Embracing the Truth" or to have TS Wright speak at your event or conference or if you simply want spiritual or life coaching or just a consultation visit:www.tswrightspeaks.comVisit our website to learn more about The God Centered Concept.

This week I'm sharing the third installment from the day-long conference convened by the Institute for America, China, and the Future of Global Affairs (ACF) at Johns Hopkins SAIS on April 3rd in Washington — "The China Debate We're Not Having: Politics, Technology, and the Road Ahead." The first two episodes featured Jessica Chen Weiss's opening remarks and the panels on what China wants and what the United States wants. This week's panel — "Tech, Rivalry, and Competing Visions of the Future" — turns to the domain that, more than any other, has come to define how Washington thinks about the U.S.-China relationship: technology, and especially AI. Once again, my deep thanks to Jessica Chen Weiss, ACF's inaugural faculty director, for organizing this terrific conference and for so generously letting me share this audio with Sinica listeners. Moderator Kat Duffy of the Council on Foreign Relations opens by interrogating the very framing of the panel: is "rivalry" actually the right word for what's going on between the U.S. and China in tech? The panelists give a range of answers — from "yes, because both sides believe it is" to Samm Sacks's pithy rejoinder that "rivalry serves specific actors and specific interests." From there the conversation ranges across the FCC's recent move to bar most foreign-made routers, the pitfalls of framing AI competition as a sprint to AGI rather than what Jeff Ding calls a "diffusion marathon," the many internal Chinas that get flattened in DC discourse, the cybersecurity reciprocity problem (Volt Typhoon, Salt Typhoon, and what President Trump tellingly admitted about all of it), and what it would actually mean for the U.S. to compete by being its best self — what one panelist memorably calls "Americamaxxing." There's a lot of substance packed into this hour, and a lot of generative pushback against received DC wisdom. The audience Q&A at the end takes up the role of race and xenophobia in the discourse — a topic that, as one questioner pointedly notes, had been conspicuously absent from the day's earlier discussions. Panelists:— Samm Sacks, Senior Fellow, New America and Yale Law School— Jeff Ding, Assistant Professor of Political Science, George Washington University— Mieke Eoyang, Visiting Professor, Carnegie Mellon University; former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Cyber Policy— Selina Xu, Lead for China and AI Policy, Office of Eric Schmidt Moderator: Kat Duffy, Senior Fellow for Digital and Cyberspace Policy, Council on Foreign RelationsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
In this episode, we sit down with Grammy-winning singer/songwriter Chad King, one half of the hit-making duo, A Great Big World. While millions know him for the global anthem "Say Something," few realize that Chad's journey to the stage has been defined by a quiet, parallel battle with Multiple Sclerosis. Chad opens up about the day his world changed with an MS diagnosis and how he transformed fear into a catalyst for intentional living. We dive into the physical realities of touring with a chronic illness—from the specific accommodations he makes to protect his voice and energy to the ways he's adapted his performance style. Above all, his legendary optimism shines through as he discusses why he believes a diagnosis doesn't have to be an ending, but a new way to sing. Chad shares the physical symptoms he first noticed and why he urges everyone—no matter how busy their career—to stop ignoring the "small" things before they become big problems. It is a conversation filled with kindness, humor, and infectious positivity – a vital reminder that your health is your most important instrument. This episode is a masterclass in resilience, kindness and finding joy in every moment!

Speaking with host Steven Shalowitz, Shahar Azani returns to IsraelCast for a timely conversation on Israel at 78, the resilience of Israeli society, and the global challenges facing the Jewish people. Azani reflects on Israel's enduring optimism after October 7, the strength of Jewish identity on college campuses, and the importance of educating others amid rising misinformation and antisemitism. The conversation also explores the broader Middle East, including Iran, Hezbollah, Lebanon, Turkey, Qatar's influence on American universities, and Europe's shifting relationship with Israel. Through personal stories and analysis, Azani offers a hopeful perspective on Israel's future, the strength of Jewish unity, and the responsibility each person has to speak up, stay informed, and remain optimistic in uncertain times.
In this vibrant episode of John Solomon Reports, we celebrate the arrival of spring while reflecting on the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and Russia, where a temporary ceasefire offers a glimmer of hope amidst turmoil. Congressman Tom McClintock of California joins us to discuss an optimistic outlook for the upcoming 2026 elections, suggesting that a resolution to the Iran war could lead to an economic revival reminiscent of Reagan's "Morning in America." McClintock shares insights on how improving economic conditions may shift the political landscape in favor of MAGA Trump Republicans.In the second segment, we dive into the issue of censorship surrounding the Hunter Biden scandal.
