MORE UNINTENTIONALLY FUNNY AI SLOP SHOWNOTES. Peter Hoistead? Thanks Gemini. Thanks listeners. We love you. Buy CBCo it's excellent beer. The Conditional Release Program - Episode 185: Federal Election 2025 Post-SpecialHosts: Joel Hill & Jack the Insider (Peter Hoistead)Overall Theme: A deep dive into the results and implications of the 2025 Australian Federal Election, focusing on Labor's historic victory, the Coalition's catastrophic loss, and the performance of minor parties and independents.Key Segments & Talking Points:(Part 1 - Approximate Timestamps based on original transcript, subject to adjustment)[00:00:00 - 00:01:23] Introduction & Election OverviewJoel laments being banned from betting on the election, particularly Labor's strong odds.Jack notes Joel would have won significantly, especially on Labor at $2.60.Historic Labor Win: Anthony "Albo" Albanese leads Labor to a significant victory.Libs sent into an "existential crisis."Albo is the first PM to be re-elected since John Howard in 2004.Largest Labor victory on a two-party preferred basis since John Curtin in 1943 (votes still being counted).Crucial Stat: The Albanese government is the only first-term government to have a swing towards it in Australian political history.[00:01:23 - 00:03:38] Significance of the Swing to LaborPrevious first-term governments (Howard '98, Hawke '84, Fraser '77, Whitlam '74, Menzies) all had swings against them when seeking a second term.Albo's government achieved an approximate 4% swing towards it (votes still being counted).Discussion points: Where it went right for Labor, and wrong for the Coalition, Greens, and Teals.Far-right "Cookers" performed terribly. Pauline Hanson's One Nation (FONY) might see minor representation.[00:03:38 - 00:05:11] Patreon & Sponsor Shout-outsReminder to support the podcast on Patreon: www.patreon.com/theconditionalreleaseprogram (for as little as $5/month).CB Co. Beer: Praised for their IPA and new Hazy XPA. Competition to win $100,000. Use code CRP10 for 10% off at cbco.beer.[00:05:11 - 00:08:52] Polling Inaccuracies & Liberal OptimismReiteration of the ~4% swing to Labor.Comparison of final poll predictions vs. actual results:Freshwater: Labor 51.5% (was Liberal pollster, told Libs they were close).Newspoll: 52.5% (Labor used their private polling).Essential: 53.5%.YouGov: 52.2% - 52.9%.Polling companies significantly underestimated Labor's vote, especially those advising the Coalition.The misplaced optimism at Liberal Party HQ on election night.[00:08:52 - 00:16:00] Specific Seat Results & Labor GainsGilmore (NSW South Coast): Fiona Phillips (Labor) won 55-45 (3-4% swing to her), despite Andrew Constance (Liberal) being the favourite.Bennelong (Howard's old seat): Jeremy Laxail (Labor) won 59-41 against Scott Young (problematic Liberal candidate), a 10% swing to Labor.Parramatta: Andrew Charlton (Labor) won 62-38 (was 53.47 in 2022).Aston (Victoria): Labor won in a historic by-election previously, now a 4% swing to the Labor candidate, winning 53-47.Boothby (SA): Louise Miller-Frost (Labor) achieved an 8% swing, holding the seat 61-39.Tangney (WA): Sam Lim (Labor, ex-cop & dolphin trainer) secured a 3% swing, now 56-44. Large Bhutanese diaspora noted.Leichhardt (FNQ): Labor's Matt Smith won 57-43 after Warren Entsch (LNP) retired (10% swing).Hunter (NSW): Dan Repiccioli (Labor) re-elected with 44% primary vote (5% swing on primary). Fended off Nats and One Nation (Stuart Bonds' inflated vote claims by "One Australia" on X).[00:16:00 - 00:18:49] Diversifying Parliament & Women in PoliticsPraise for non-lawyer backgrounds in Parliament (e.g., Dan Repiccioli, Sam Lim).Critique of the typical lawyer/staffer/union pathway.Labor's success in diversifying candidate backgrounds and increasing female representation.Liberals struggling with female representation despite some efforts. Discussion of potential quotas in the Liberal party and the backlash it would cause.Margaret Thatcher quote: "If you want something said, ask a man. If you want something done, ask a woman."[00:18:49 - 00:27:26] The Teals: Mixed Results & ChallengesInitial appearance of a Teal "romp" on election night.Bradfield (NSW North Shore): Teal Nicolette Boele (Burle/Bola) behind Liberal Giselle Kaptarian by 178 votes (updated during recording).Goldstein (VIC): Tim Wilson (Liberal) leading Zoe Daniel (Teal) by 925 votes. Wilson is likely back. Joel comments on Wilson's IPA association vs. his "gay, wet, mediocre, progressive side." Jack notes Wilson often highlights his sexuality.Jim Chalmers' quip about Tim Wilson: "Popular for all those who haven't met him."Kooyong (VIC): Monique Ryan (Teal) leading by 1002 votes (97,000 counted, ~8,000 postals to go). Redistribution added parts of Toorak, making it harder for Ryan.Liberal candidate Amelia Hamer: "Trust fund renter" controversy, owns multiple properties, London bolthole.Corflute wars in Kooyong: Hamer campaign's excessive use of A-frames, obstructing walkways, went to Supreme Court over council limits. Jack doubts the impact of corflutes.[00:27:26 - 00:31:28] Why Did the Teals Go Backwards?Liberal party invested heavily in Kooyong and Goldstein.Voters potentially preferring a local member who is a Minister or part of the government.Redistribution impact in Kooyong (addition of Toorak).Zali Steggall's success in Warringah partly due to "fruitcake" Liberal opponents like Katherine Deves.[00:31:28 - 00:40:37] The Greens: Significant LossesLost all lower house seats. Adam Bandt (leader) gone from Melbourne.Lost Brisbane (Max Chandler Mather) and Griffith back to Labor.Ryan (South Brisbane): Likely Labor win in a three-way contest.Greens will have no lower house representation.Key Reason: Housing policy standoff. Accused of holding up Labor's housing bill for over a year (affecting funding for domestic violence victims, homeless), pursuing "perfection" over compromise.[00:40:37 - 00:49:57] Deep Dive: Housing Policy ChallengesA major challenge for the Albanese government. Not an easy fix.Supply-side changes could devalue existing homes or slow growth, angering homeowners.Joel's view: Subsidized housing (rent-to-own, means-tested) wouldn't touch the high-end market.Negative gearing: Not a quick fix; removing it overnight unlikely to change much; issue is supply.Homeowner expectations of property value growth.Construction industry at full tilt; skills shortages.CFMEU's role in skilled migration for construction.Free TAFE importance for reskilling/upskilling.Linton Besser (Media Watch) criticism of Labor "building" houses when they reconditioned unlivable ones – Joel argues this still increases supply.[00:49:57 - 00:59:16] Deep Dive: Childcare Policy & Global Economic HeadwindsChildcare another area for government focus.Labor's childcare policy: Rebates for high earners (e.g., $325k combined income).High cost of childcare; need for better pay for childcare workers (Labor delivered a pay spike).Ownership of childcare centers (Peter Dutton reference) and profit-making. Call for more public childcare.Uncertain global economic times, Trump tariffs.Port of Los Angeles imports down by one-third.US Q1 economy shrank 0.3%; recession likely.Japan, China, South Korea meeting to discuss tariff responses; hold significant US debt. Japanese warning to US re: trade negotiations.[00:59:16 - 01:07:13] What Went Wrong for the Coalition? Answer: Everything.Gas Price Fixing Policy: Cobbled together, no consultation with industry (unlike Rudd's mining tax failure), potentially unconstitutional (taxing for benefit of some states over others).Work From Home Policy Disaster:Conceived by Jane Hume and Peter Dutton, no Shadow Cabinet consultation.Initial messaging: All Commonwealth public servants, then just Canberra.Jane Hume's media run: Claimed all WFH is 20% less productive, citing a study.Implied WFH employees are "bludgers," alienating a vast number of voters (including partners of tradies).Labor capitalized on this after door-knocking feedback. Policy eventually walked back.Defence Policy: Released in the last week, vague promise to spend 3% of GDP, no specifics on acquisitions. Andrew Hastie (Shadow Defence) reportedly wants out of the portfolio.Fuel Excise Policy: Halving fuel excise for a year. Took a week for Dutton to do a photo-op at a service station. Fuel prices had already dropped.Melbourne Airport Rail Link Funding: Announced at a winery.Vehicle Emissions Policy: Clarifications issued within 48 hours.Generally a shambolic campaign, studied for years to come.[01:07:13 - 01:08:55] The Nationals & Nuclear Policy FalloutNats trying to spin a better result than Libs, but didn't win Calare (Andrew Gee back as Indy).Nuclear Policy: Coalition embarrassed to discuss it. Nats insist on keeping it.Policy originated as a way for Libs to get Nats to support Net Zero by 2050.Massive costs and timelines: Hinkley Point C (UK) example – 65 billion pounds, years of delays. US Georgia plant similar.Legislative hurdles: Repealing Howard-era ban, state-level bans (even LNP QLD Premier Chris O'Fooley against it).State-funded, "socialist" approach due to lack of private investment.[01:08:55 - 01:15:49] Coalition Campaign Failures & SpokespeopleDebate on government vs. private industry running power.Lack of effective Coalition spokespeople: Susan Ley sidelined, Jane Hume promoted. Angus Taylor perceived as lazy.Angus Taylor's past water license scandal ("Australia's Watergate," Cayman Islands structure).[01:15:49 - 01:28:03] Demographics: A Tide Against the LiberalsWomen: Voted ~58-42 for Labor (two-party preferred), worse than under Morrison. Libs failed to address issues like climate, domestic violence.Language Other Than English at Home (LOTE): 60% backed Labor (Redbridge polling, Cos Samaras). Indian and Chinese diaspora significant, impacting Deakin and Menzies (Keith Wallahan, a moderate, lost Menzies).Gen Z & Millennials (18-45): Now outnumber Baby Boomers (60+), voted 60-40 Labor (TPP).Preferencing: Labor "gamed the system well"; Liberals' deal with One Nation backfired in messaging to urban areas.Strategy Failure: Liberals walked away from "heartland" Teal-lost seats, wrongly believing voters were wrong. Dutton's 2023 claim of Libs being "party of regional Australia" failed. No connection or network in targeted outer-suburban/regional seats.Female Pre-selection: Aspiration of 50% in 2019, achieved 34% in 2025. "Male, white, middle-class, mediocre."Sarah Henderson Example: Lost Corangamite in 2019, returned via Senate vacancy. Criticized as a "waste of space," arrogant for seeking re-entry.Both parties have taken safe seats for granted (factional gifts), but Labor learning. Example: Batman (now Cooper, Jed Carney) won back from Greens after better candidate selection.[01:28:03 - 01:36:42] Fond Farewells: Election CasualtiesPeter Dutton: Lost his seat of Dickson (held 20+ years), got "smashed." Likely preferred losing seat to facing party room fallout. Gracious concession speech. Australia's strong electoral process praised (democracy sausage, volunteers, AEC, peaceful concession).Michael Sukkar (Deakin, VIC): "Unpleasant piece of work."Recount of February incident: Sukkar, at Dutton's prompting, used a point of order to cut off Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus (Jewish) during an emotional speech about anti-Semitism and his family's Holocaust connection (Shiloh story). Dreyfus called Sukkar "disgusting." Sukkar moved "that the member no longer be heard." Widely condemned.Gerard Rennick (QLD Senator): Anti-COVID vaccine, spread misinformation (diabetes, dementia links). Jack recounts being attacked by Rennick's "poison monkeys" on X after writing about it. Rennick gone, likely self-funded much of his campaign.(Part 2 - Timestamps restart from 00:00:00 but are a continuation, add ~1 hour 36 mins 50 secs to these for continuous flow)[01:36:50 - 01:44:07] The Fractured Hard Right ("Cookers") - Dismal PerformanceGenerally went nowhere electorally.UAP (United Australia Party) / Trumpeter Patriots (John Ruddock): 2.38% in NSW Senate (down from UAP's 3.2% in 2022). Less money spent than previous Clive Palmer campaigns.Libertarian Democrats (Lib Dems): 1.99% in NSW Senate. Controversial name didn't help. Alliance with H.A.R.T (formerly IMOP, Michael O'Neill) and Gerard Rennick's People First Party.Monica Smit's calls to "unite" contrasted with these groups already forming alliances without her.These three parties combined got less than 2% in NSW. Lib Dems

The reciprocal tariff policy is about Fair Trade vs. Free Trade.    Reciprocal tariffs will be calculated both the monetary and non-monetary totals.  The US will tariff the other country about half of the tariff charged to the US.   Non-tariff barriers are often worse. -        Currency manipulation -        VAT tax -        Export subsidies -        Counterfeit products -        Technology theft -        Subsidized dumping of products into our country designed to kill our industry.   Free trade policies have been used against the US to destroy our manufacturing capability. -        We lose jobs   -        National security issue Look at nearly any small town or rural area in America. Most are a hollow shell of what they once were. -        There are few jobs or opportunities available -        Most are depressed and run-down -        It has steadily gotten worse over the past few decades -        Destroyed American industry.  -     An entire region is known as the rust belt.   The Trump administration is changing decades of tariff policy. The transition will be volatile.

China's parcel delivery industry shattered all previous records in 2024, handling a staggering 174.5 billion packages—equivalent to more than 124 per person in the country. The rapid expansion of the sector underscores not only the growing dependence of Chinese consumers on e-commerce, but also the increasing role express delivery plays as a barometer of the economy.2024年，中国快递业打破了所有历史纪录，处理了1745亿件包裹，相当于全国人均包裹数超过124件，业务量惊人。该行业的迅速扩张不仅凸显出中国消费者对电商的日益依赖，也反映出快递作为经济晴雨表的作用日益增强。This explosive growth comes as no surprise. The total volume of express delivery services last year reached 174.5 billion parcels, marking a 21 percent increase over the previous year. Meanwhile, business income from these services surged to 1.4 trillion yuan ($191 billion), reflecting a 13 percent growth.这一爆炸式增长并不令人意外。去年，快递业务总量达到1745亿件，同比增长21%。同时，快递业务收入飙升至1.4万亿元人民币（1910亿美元），同比增长13%。"The postal and express delivery industry has become a driving force in China's logistics sector, and for 11 straight years, it has ranked first globally in delivery volume," said Zhao Chongjiu, head of the State Post Bureau of China, at the bureau's annual conference on Wednesday in Beijing.1月8日，中国国家邮政局局长赵冲久在北京举行的全国邮政工作会议上介绍：“邮政快递业已成为中国物流业的驱动力，并且连续11年在全球快递业务量上稳居第一。”"The integration of express delivery into daily life has been profound. It now serves as a vital indicator of both economic vitality and development," he added.“快递已深刻融入日常生活中。它现在是经济活力和发展的重要指标，”他补充说。As more parcels move through the country's vast logistics network, it is clear that express delivery is no longer just about transporting packages from point A to point B—it has become a powerful symbol of China's thriving economy.随着越来越多的包裹在全国庞大的物流网络中流通，显然，快递已不仅是将包裹从A点运送到B点的简单行为——它已成为中国经济繁荣发展的有力象征。Across the nation, particularly in the central and western regions, delivery networks have been rapidly expanding. In 2024, express delivery volumes in these regions grew by 30 percent and 35 percent, respectively, compared to the previous year. This expansion has significantly helped bridge the development gap between urban and rural areas.在全国范围内，特别是在中西部地区，快递网络扩张迅速。与上一年相比，2024年中部、西部快递业务量分别增长了30%、35%。这一扩张显著缩小了城乡发展差距。Subsidized shipping policies to remote villages, such as those in the Xinjiang Uygur and Inner Mongolia autonomous regions, have brought e-commerce services to areas that once struggled with limited access to goods and services.针对偏远乡村（如新疆维吾尔族自治区和内蒙古自治区的乡村）实施的补贴运输政策，让那些原本获取商品和服务受限的地区也能享受电商服务。This growth has also unlocked new economic opportunities, enabling businesses in emerging sectors such as livestreaming e-commerce and cross-border trade to thrive. Online retail sales of physical goods soared last year, and the delivery industry played a crucial role in facilitating these transactions. This makes it an essential partner in the ongoing digital transformation of the economy.快递业务的增长也催生了新的经济机遇，使直播电商和跨境贸易等新兴行业得以蓬勃发展。去年，实物商品网络零售额飙升，快递行业在其中发挥了至关重要的作用，并成为持续推进经济数字化转型的重要力量。The result of this booming logistics network is felt in every corner of the country—transforming not only how businesses operate, but also how ordinary people live.蓬勃发展的物流网络带来的影响遍及全国各个角落——不仅改变了企业的运营模式，也改变了普通人的生活方式。One striking example is the story of Zilati, a young man from the Tajik ethnic group who married last year in a remote village in Tashikurgan Tajik autonomous county, Xinjiang.一个典型的例子是来自塔吉克族的小伙子兹拉提，去年他在新疆塔什库尔干塔吉克自治县的一个偏远村庄举行了婚礼。As he prepared for his wedding, Zilati was able to purchase nearly everything online—from decorations to large appliances such as a refrigerator—and have it delivered directly to his home. In the past, such a task would have required a long and arduous journey to Kashgar, the nearest big city. Thanks to the expanding logistics network, he was able to concentrate on enjoying his special day.在筹备婚礼时，兹拉提几乎能够在网上购买所有物品——从装饰品到冰箱等大家电——并直接送货到家。在过去，需要长途跋涉到距离最近的大城市喀什才能完成这些事情。得益于不断扩大的物流网络，他可以专心享受自己的特别日子。"I never imagined that my wedding could be this easy," Zilati said. "It's so convenient. I bought the wedding chocolates and decorations online. In the past, we had to travel to Kashgar, which took more than 10 hours. Now, thanks to online shopping, I was able to focus on celebrating my wedding rather than worrying about logistics."“我从未想过我的婚礼能这么轻松，”兹拉提说。“真是太方便了。我在网上买了婚礼巧克力和装饰品。过去，我们得花10个多小时跑去喀什。现在，多亏了网购，我可以专心庆祝婚礼，而不必担心物流问题。”In 2024, the average Chinese consumer received over 120 parcels annually, with the country's delivery network processing more than 5,500 every second.2024年，中国消费者人均一年收到120多个包裹，全国快递网络每秒处理5500多个包裹。Looking ahead, the industry is showing no signs of slowing down. In 2025, express delivery volume is projected to reach 190 billion, with corresponding revenue of 1.5 trillion yuan.展望未来，该行业仍将继续保持稳步上升态势。预计2025年快递业务量将达到1900亿件，相应快递业务收入将达到1.5万亿元。"The key growth drivers for the express delivery industry in 2025 will mainly come from the domestic e-commerce market, which continues to grow rapidly, especially with emerging e-commerce platforms like Douyin and Kuaishou driving market expansion. Internationally, cross-border e-commerce will be a major driver, with express delivery companies accelerating their global expansion, contributing to the growth of national delivery services," said Zhou Zhicheng, director of the Research Office of China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing.中国物流与采购联合会研究室主任周志成表示：“2025年快递行业增长的重要驱动力将主要来自国内电商市场，该市场将持续快速增长，尤其是抖音、快手等新兴电商平台将推动市场扩张。在国际上，跨境电商将成为主要驱动力，快递公司加速全球扩张，推动国家快递服务增长。”As China's express delivery sector continues to expand, it is clear that the logistics industry is not only driving economic growth, but is also becoming an integral part of everyday life for millions.显然，随着中国快递行业的持续扩张，物流行业不仅驱动着经济增长，也正成为数百万人日常生活不可或缺的一部分。barometern.晴雨表，标志arduousadj.艰难的,费力的

[SEGMENT 2-1] The Myth of Obama   For years, many people have insisted that Barack Obama is the puppeteer behind Joe Biden's presidency, labeling it Obama's "third term." The idea has become a refrain among political commentators and average citizens alike. But let me be clear: Obama is no puppet master. In fact, he isn't even in control of his own home—let alone the White House. Imagine being the former leader of the free world and your wife can make you crap your pants when she yells or gives you "the look". That statement isn't meant to be an attack on Michelle Obama, nor am I suggesting she's an abuser. But everybody knows she could kick Barack's behind. Patrick Bet-David reinforces what I have been saying about Obama for years: Patrick Bet-David NAILED IT. President Trump didn't just beat Kamala Harris. He also demolished Barack Obama's legacy forever. "His voice doesn't carry weight anymore. He was out there begging, screaming, scolding... Obama has to eat his words for the rest of his life." - Via… pic.twitter.com/hewGhepajW — George (@BehizyTweets) November 21, 2024   [X] SB – Patrick Bet-David on Obama Loser this election.    [SEGMENT 2-2] The Myth of Obama 2   [X] SB – Maxine Waters slams Obama What True Leadership Looks Like Obama embodies: controlled, carefully curated, and ultimately hollow "leadership". Real leaders are shaped by strength, conviction, and the ability to inspire lasting loyalty and respect. They don't rely on PR gimmicks, and they certainly don't crumble under pressure. History's greatest leaders—men and women who saved nations or transformed the world—are remembered for their courage and vision. Barack Obama? He was a carefully manufactured personality, propped up by media hype and cultural sentiment rather than actual achievement. Metrosexuals like Obama don't lead nations; they run boutique consulting firms or manage niche start-ups. Obama's Rise: A Cult of Personality Obama's first presidential victory was a triumph of image over substance. His charisma captured the imagination of an electorate desperate for “hope and change,” thus his lack of experience was conveniently ignored. His second victory? A pity vote.  [SEGMENT 2-3] The Myth of Obama 3 Many Americans felt his lackluster first term wasn't enough to gauge his potential, and others feared being labeled racist if they denied him a second chance. But that second term was just as unimpressive as the first, rendering Obama the Affirmative Action president. I've written extensively about how Obama's second term ended in disappointment, especially for Black Leftists. His administration offered them little more than symbolic gestures dressed up as progress. Take, for instance, Valerie Jarrett's infamous attempt to pacify Black voters by touting two of Obama's “achievements”:Subsidized healthcare, which many labeled as a version of reparations.Reducing sentencing disparities between crack and powder cocaine.Talk about out-of-touch leadership! This was akin to telling struggling Americans, "Let them eat cake." Obama's Slide from Savior to Sideline Barack Obama began as the “Chosen One,” a metrosexual messiah who promised a utopia of "hope and change." By his second term, though, the messiah had lost his magic. Democrats endured devastating midterm losses, and the crown jewel of his presidency—Obamacare—was a bureaucratic mess that even its supporters grumbled about. Obama's charisma dwindled, his once-commanding presence reduced to a tepid “please clap” energy. By the time 2016 rolled around, Obama couldn't even gift-wrap the presidency for Hillary Clinton. Despite his tireless campaigning, Hillary got stomped by Donald Trump—a man Obama had mocked relentlessly. Talk about karma coming back faster than Joe Biden forgetting his next sentence. The Fantasy of Obama's "Shadow Presidency" When Obama left office, there was a frenzy of speculation about his post-presidency influence. Maxine Waters famously suggested that Obama had amassed a treasure trove of "dirt" on Washington insiders and was assembling a secret command center. [X] SB – Maxine Waters on database Organization that contains a database that no one has seen in life. Organizing for America Information   This shadow presidency, some claimed, would enable Obama to wield unprecedented power. But what did we get? Some Netflix specials and Michelle Obama becoming more relevant than he is. In reality, Obama never had real power. His influence was always more theater than substance. This was evident in his embarrassing farewell tour. At his final UN appearance, the lack of interest was palpable. I watched as he concluded a speech, unnoticed by the distracted audience, only to receive a single reluctant clap as he exited the stage. It was a moment that underscored just how far his star had fallen. Obama's attempts to campaign for Hillary Clinton in 2016 were equally telling. Despite his best efforts, including a rally in Philadelphia that barely drew 30 people, Clinton lost. The myth of Obama's influence continued to unravel.  [SEGMENT 2-4] The Myth of Obama 4   [X] SB – Joe Rogan on Obama     The Biden Era: Not Obama's Third Term Fast-forward to the Biden presidency, and the refrain of Obama's supposed puppeteering persisted. But let's be real: The people who orchestrated Biden's rise are far more strategic and ruthless than Obama could ever hope to be. Obama was a product, designed to win in 2008. The architects of his ascent never intended for him to hold actual power—they used him until he was no longer useful. If you still believe Obama is pulling strings, consider this: Obama's absence from Biden's campaign wasn't a coincidence. He knew the fix was in, and he didn't want to tarnish his carefully maintained image by aligning too closely with Biden. Then came Kamala Harris. And the cabal took Obama from the stables and trotted him out one more time to usher the pseudo-Black female candidate to victory. Obama was so effective, I doubt anybody could tell you where and when he stumped for Harris. In the end, Obama failed to bring the victory. Again. Compare Obama to Trump's Spectacular Comeback Donald J. Trump, the man Democrats thought they had buried under an avalanche of scandals and impeachments. When Trump left office, the Left were popping champagne, thinking they had finally neutered him. But Trump's “exile” turned out to be more that of the Count of Monte Cristo's. Unlike Obama's flaccid second term, Trump's hypothetical second term is shaping up to be historic. He plans to dismantle the administrative state and drain the swamp for real this time. Where Obama faded into irrelevance, Trump has kept the Left sweating bullets, whether it's rallying record-breaking crowds or being the kingmaker for Republican candidates. Obama couldn't even fill a rally in Philadelphia during 2016, struggling to draw more than a handful of attendees. Meanwhile, Trump's rallies remain Woodstock for conservatives. You have to laugh: the man Democrats branded a political pariah wields more power post-presidency than Obama did at the height of his. Ironies and Realities of Obama's Influence Let's not overlook the hypocrisy here. Obama, hailed as the Democrats' savior, couldn't save them from irrelevance, while Trump—written off as a political flash-in-the-pan—is orchestrating what could be the most radical reworking of government in decades. Democrats thought Obama's legacy would endure for generations. Instead, they're stuck watching their "cool dad" fade into the background as Trump reshapes the GOP and dominates headlines. The takeaway? Obama was always a figurehead, a carefully crafted icon whose power dissolved as soon as the teleprompter was unplugged. Trump, by contrast, thrives without a script. That's the difference between being a puppet and pulling the strings. Barack Obama isn't a titan of influence or a mastermind of political strategy. He's a symbol—carefully packaged and marketed for a moment in history. His relevance has faded, as it was always destined to. Obama's legacy is built on illusion, the same illusion that Joe Biden was elected in a fair process. Why Common Sense Matters in Politics For years, I've been telling people that Obama isn't the leader they think he is. And time has proven me right. This isn't about boasting; it's about trusting your own judgment. Politics isn't as complicated as the media makes it seem. Look past the headlines, and the truth becomes clear: Obama's legacy is one of mediocrity, not mastery.        Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kevin-jackson-show--2896352/support.

RFK has the following goals for healthcare reform in America: 1. Clean up the corruption 2. Get back to science-based evidence 3. End chronic disease He will be actively working against big food companies, big chemical companies, and big pharma, so naturally, he's getting a lot of pushback. The U. S. spends over 4.1 trillion dollars each year on healthcare, yet we're at the bottom as far as health. Why? Here's what I think can improve America's health! 1. Change the institutional foods Prepackaged foods are given to people in nursing homes, prisons, schools, hospitals, and other public institutions. These institutional foods are very low-quality, highly processed foods. The health of the people in these institutions would quickly improve by simply removing the refined sugars, starches, and oils from their diets. 2. Address the subsidized foods Subsidized foods are paid for by taxpayers. Corn, soy, wheat, sugar, and rice are the most highly subsidized foods. Changing the types of foods that are subsidized and investing in small farmers can significantly improve this problem. 3. Changing GRAS “Generally recognized as safe” is a term used by the FDA for products that have been safety tested by their own manufacturers. To avoid conflict of interest, these tests should be conducted by third-party independent companies. 4. Change food fortification Synthetic folic acid and iron fortification of food can cause serious problems for many people. 5. Disallow tax dollars from being used for drugs Every year, 40 billion dollars of taxpayer money is used to pay for medical research to develop new drugs. 6. The rounding rule If a product contains less than .5 grams of an ingredient, it can be rounded down to 0. This is misleading and should be eliminated. People need to be more aware of what's really in their food. Companies also need to be forced to raise the quality of the ingredients in their products. 7. End sun phobia Sun phobia paired with low RDAs for vitamin D is contributing to massive vitamin D deficiency in the population, putting people at risk for disease.

In this episode, I'm laying it all out: the frustrations, the reality, and the questions that need answering about subsidized child care. As a multi-site child care provider in New York, over 70% of our enrollment relies on the state's Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP), commonly known as ACS in NYC or DSS in the rest of the state. While subsidies have been a crucial part of supporting families, the issues with payment delays, processing holdups, and slow enrollment in the system have reached a breaking point. I'm breaking down what subsidized child care is, the variations across states, and why consistent payment issues are a massive barrier for providers like me and others in my network. These delays don't just impact payroll and bills; they threaten our ability to provide quality care and even meet basic operational standards. I'll share my personal experience, highlight the importance of emergency plans (and why relying on them isn't enough), and call for solutions that prevent providers from shouldering the burden of a broken system. Let's be real: child care deserts exist for a reason, and it's time to face it. I'm inviting you to listen, share your experiences, and join me in advocating for a system that truly supports the providers it relies on. By the time you hear this, I'm hopeful there's improvement—but if not, it's time to demand change.

Hacks & Wonks Week in Review: Presidential Primary, Legislative Retirements, Police Recruitment in Seattle, Seattle Public Schools Board, and Burien Gets Sued Presidential Primary Takeaways  In this week's presidential primary, Trump and Biden secured enough delegates to clinch their parties' nominations. While Trump's impact worries moderate Republicans in Washington like Dave Reichert, Biden faces pressure from the "uncommitted delegates" protest vote demanding an end to violence in Gaza. Washington Legislative Retirements  Several longtime Democratic legislators, including Frank Chopp and Karen Keiser, announced their retirements after the recent session. This exodus provides an opportunity for a new generation of more progressive leadership. Police Recruitment in Seattle  The Seattle City Council discussed subsidizing housing and lowering standards to recruit more police officers amid a staffing shortage. However, mounting evidence and feedback from police suggest the culture within the department and lack of accountability are deterring recruits, not council rhetoric or compensation. Seattle Public Schools Board Appointments Seattle Public Schools is in the process of selecting two people to fill vacancies left by two departures from the Seattle Public Schools Board. Highlighting the diverse range of candidates, including labor leader Joe Mizrahi and Seattle Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce's Sarah Clark, the segment explored the potential policy implications and the importance of educational governance in the city. Sheriff Sues Burien Over Unconstitutional Anti-Camping Ordinance  Burien passed a stricter anti-camping law aimed at homeless individuals, which the King County Sheriff's Office refused to enforce as likely unconstitutional. In retaliation, Burien moved to defund the county's contracted police services, prompting criticism that it is escalating rather than solving homelessness.

Find out in this episode of “The Patient First Podcast.” I interview Dr. Mark Doherty, the brilliant CEO and Co-Founder of D4 Practice Solutions, and he shares some intriguing insights on what DSOs can learn from government-subsidized care to improve the quality and profitability of the care provided by their networks. As always, I pick my guest's brain to get further insight into what the near future holds for the dental industry. Dr. Doherty and I also talk about how DSOs can leverage culture to create alignment between leadership and the front lines. This is a must-see episode for any DSO leader today who wants to brace their organizations for the changes that lie just ahead. I'm Dr. Bryan Laskin—author, dentist and entrepreneur who's ever on the search for solutions and strategies that make dentistry more efficient and interconnected.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: During Tuesday's broadcast of “Morning Joe” on MSNBC, host Joe Scarborough claimed that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is “not a normal candidate”—ultimately accusing him of wanting to end democracy in the United States and arguing that it is fair to compare Trump to Nazi leaders. According to a newly released NBC News poll, presumed Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump would beat President Joe Biden in a hypothetical 2024 presidential race—46% to 44%. It's the first time Trump has ever led Biden in an NBC general election poll.

The Journalism Competition and Preservation Act (JCPA), introduced by Senator Amy Klobuchar (D., Minn.), would effectively make the local news industry dependent on the government for revenue, setting up a state-run media system that would induce any local paper to think twice about criticizing politicians who voted to stuff their bank accounts.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nationalreview.com/2023/11/the-link-tax-government-subsidized-state-media/ According to data from the American Farm Bureau Federation, “this year's classic Thanksgiving feast for 10 will be $61.17, or approximately $6.12 per guest. This represents a 4.5% decline from historically high prices last year, driven by a decline in the price of the Thanksgiving dinner centerpiece—the turkey. Despite the year-over-year relief, the cost is still 25% higher compared to 2019, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.” You can read economist Betty Resnick's report here: https://www.fb.org/market-intel/thanksgiving-dinner-cost-relief-but-still-high-relative-to-recent-years
