As the CEO of Art Basel, Noah Horowitz has made it his mission to ensure that the international art platform is seen, valued, and experienced—far beyond its art-fair roots—as a cultural catalyst and “opportunity accelerator.” Over the past 55 years, beginning with its tight-knit origins in Basel, Switzerland, in 1970, Art Basel has evolved into an international juggernaut, with best-in-class fairs also in Miami Beach, Hong Kong, and Paris—and soon, under Horowitz's leadership, Qatar, with an edition debuting there in February 2026. With more than two decades of experience, and as a tireless advocate and enthusiast for all things art, from artists and galleries to collectors and institutions, Horowitz is exactly the right person for the job.On this episode of Time Sensitive, Horowitz details his ambitious agenda to stretch Art Basel's reach into realms far beyond what would traditionally be considered the art world; shares his long-view perspective on the economics of art; and considers the centuries-old history that, in a roundabout way, helped lead to—and continues to inform and shape—today's art market.Show notes: [05:13] Art Basel Paris[05:13] Art Basel Qatar[05:13] Art Basel Miami Beach[05:13] Art Basel Hong Kong[07:54] Frida Escobedo[10:41] The Art Basel and UBS 2025 Survey of Global Collecting[10:41] Art Basel Awards[21:27] Rei Naito[23:51] Art of the Deal: Contemporary Art in a Global Financial Market (2011)[27:42] Rirkrit Tiravanija[41:18] High Art Lite: The Rise and Fall of Young British Art (2020)[32:42] KAWS[39:04] Princeton Record Exchange[42:18] Frieze[42:52] Hans Ulrich Obrist[42:52] Okwui Enwezor[45:00] Rem Koolhaas[45:57] Kirk Varnedoe[45:57] Pictures of Nothing: Abstract Art Since Pollock (2006)[50:05] Talking Prices: Symbolic Meanings of Prices on the Market for Contemporary Art (2005)[51:49] Clare McAndrew[54:42] The Experience Economy (2019)[58:43] Vincenzo de Bellis[1:03:04] Pérez Art Museum
Scott Smith: Building a Coaching Service Where Survey Scores Become Living Improvement Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. "Success is about feedback from coaching clients." - Scott Smith Scott is tackling one of the most challenging aspects of organizational transformation: turning annual survey results into continuous improvement. Working with a domain of about 30 people, Scott is exploring how to create a coaching service that doesn't just react to once-a-year data but actively drives ongoing growth. The typical pattern in many organizations is familiar—conduct an annual survey, review the scores, maybe have a few discussions, and then wait another year. Scott is experimenting with a different approach. He's setting up a coaching service that focuses on real-time feedback from the people being coached, making improvement a living practice rather than an annual event. The strategy starts with a pilot, testing the concept before scaling across the entire domain. Scott's measure of success is pragmatic and human-centered: feedback from coaching clients. Not abstract metrics or theoretical frameworks, but whether the people receiving coaching find value in what's being offered. This approach reflects a fundamental principle of Agile coaching—start small, experiment, gather feedback, and iterate based on what actually works for the people involved. Scott is building improvement infrastructure that puts continuous learning at the center, transforming how organizations think about growth from an annual checkbox into an ongoing conversation. Self-reflection Question: If you were to implement a coaching service in your organization, how would you measure its success beyond traditional survey scores?

The past six months have marked a significant shift in the infrastructure landscape: 2025 was a record year for fundraising in infrastructure; the energy transition continued to create opportunities for investors, especially in the EU; transport and digital connectivity have raised billions in 2025, with UK airports undergoing large projects and American roads becoming a priority; and data centres continue to make waves across every market. In this episode of Talking Global Infrastructure, Vlad Benn, Policy and Research Manager at GIIA, is joined by Wayne Jephson (UK), Jay Moody (US) and Filippo Gaddo (EU), industry experts from Alvarez & Marsal. Together, they talk through the results of GIIA's Infrastructure Pulse Survey: a biannual breakdown of the sentiment of investors towards the environment for fundraising, the outlook and prospects for markets and industry sectors, the impact to barriers to investment and emerging investment trends.

Our annual Travel Industry Survey of travel agency business is live, and we're taking an in-depth look at some of the results with editor in chief Arnie Weissmann and news editor Johanna Jainchill. In this episode we delve into survey data: Advisors’ use of AI – how they use it and what they’re concerned about; which travel categories are growing; advisors’ use of social media; their relationships with preferred suppliers; where they work; and what they’re booking. And, of course, whether they’re optimistic or pessimistic about their business going forward. This survey was produced in partnership with Phocuswright, a sister brand to Travel Weekly. It surveyed more than 1,500 advisors during August and early September and was published Nov. 23. This conversation took place Nov. 23 and has been edited for length and clarity.

Kia ora,Welcome to Tuesday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.And today we lead with news the global economic expansion is tailing off as we come to the end of 2025.First in the US, we can report that new orders in their factory sector are falling. That is a key factor that has driven the closely-watched ISM manufacturing PMI lower, for a ninth consecutive month, and falling at a faster pace. Survey respondents cite problems with the tariff-taxes, and "trade confusion". And they report high price pressure, and rising The November result is below the deterioration expected. It's a result that has cast a pall over Wall Street today.But the ISM report is only one perspective. The rival S&PGlobal factory PMI reported a November expansion, even a modest rise in new orders. But it also noted that a lot of this 'positive activity' is related to inventory building which won't be sustainable without final customer demand. Financial markets seemed to ignore this alternate PMI.The Canadian factory PMi wasn't positive either for November which reported a marginal contraction. Interestingly, it also reported lower inflation pressures.These two North American factory PMIs feed into a global report that has overall output and new orders rising at slower rates but business optimism rising to a five-month high.In India, their October report for industrial production brought an unexpectedly sharp slowdown, hardly above year-ago levels when +4% year-on-year gains had become the norm for the past two years. We will need to wait for their November result to see if October was just an aberration. They will be hoping so.In Japan, their central bank governor has been speaking and has hinted that a rate hike at their next meeting on December 19 is a live possibility. (see pages 6 & 7.)In China, the alternative PMI to the official version has also slipped in a similar way. The S&PGlobal manufacturing sector PMI shows that conditions deteriorated in November, not by a lot, but certainly going the wrong way. There was no growth in new orders.In Australia, the Melbourne Institute inflation gauge for November rose again and is now further above the RBA's 2-3% inflation target range. Interestingly, while this result is higher, it is lower than the official October CPI rate of 3.8%.After a -2.6% quarter-on-quarter fall in Australian company profits in Q2-2025, they were expected to bounce back in Q3-2025. But in the event they stalled, unchanged, in a disappointing outcome and only +1.1% higher than year-ago levels.And staying in Australia, the Cotality house price tracking rose +1.0% in November, a slight softening from the +1.1% gain in October. Annual growth lifted to +7.1%, with quarterly gains tracking a +13.2% annualised pace. Sydney and Melbourne are the laggards, indicating that affordability has reached its serviceability limits.The UST 10yr yield is now just on 4.09%, up +7 bps from this time yesterday.The price of gold will start today at US$4233/oz, and up just +US$15 from yesterday. But silver has surged again to a new record high of US$58.50/oz, up +US$2 from yesterday.American oil prices are -50 USc softer at just over US$59/bbl, while the international Brent price is unchanged at just on US$63/bbl. And we should probably also note that natural gas prices are rising and are now at their highest except for the pandemic period.The Kiwi dollar is unchanged from yesterday, still at just under 57.4 USc. Against the Aussie we are down -10 bps at just on 87.5 AUc. Against the euro we have held at 49.4 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just over 61.9, and up +10 bps from yesterday.The bitcoin price starts today at US$85,426 and down -7.0%% from this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been very high, at just on +/- 4.3%.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston. And we will do this again tomorrow.

There's a vast market of billions of consumers in China, so companies are clamoring to get their products in the door. But are all products right for China? It may be wise to conduct a little market research before going all in on the Middle Kingdom. This lesson deals with a consumer survey regarding motor homes in China.

Cost of living was the number one challenge identified by Australian youth surveyed by Mission Australia.
Storm Technology, a Littlefish company, has announced survey findings which reveal that 27% of IT leaders are concerned about their ability to detect deepfake attacks over the next 12 months. This concern was felt by more respondents in larger enterprises (33%) than SMBs (23%). The research - conducted by Censuswide and involving 200 IT decision-makers and leaders across Ireland and the UK (100 in each market) - found that the biggest concerns around AI and security over the next year are data breaches (34%), data protection (33%), and increased risk of adversarial or cyber-attacks (31%). Meanwhile, a quarter (25%) consider shadow AI (use of unsanctioned or unpermitted tools) among their biggest concerns. This is not necessarily surprising given that half of respondents (50%) know that people in their organisation are using such tools and some 55% admitted to using unsanctioned or unpermitted tools themselves. Forty-two per cent of IT leaders also opined that company data is not safe for input into these platforms. Perhaps exacerbating this issue, just 60% of companies have been specific about which AI tools are sanctioned or permitted. More broadly, over a fifth (21%) of IT leaders do not have a high degree of trust in AI tools and almost a third (32%) of companies do not have a strategy in place to address any AI risks that arise. The research showed that 79% of IT leaders in Ireland and the UK agree their organisation needs to focus more on the regulation of AI tools and 28% do not believe their governance around AI tools is adequate. This rose to more than a third (35%) among Irish respondents. When it comes to AI and data, 24% of IT leaders do not think their business data is ready for AI, with a similar proportion (23%) of the opinion that that their data governance policies are not robust enough to support secure AI adoption. This could explain why 78% believe a data readiness project is required to ensure successful AI adoption in their company. Sean Tickle, Cyber Services Director, Littlefish, said: "AI is rapidly reshaping the enterprise landscape, but the speed of adoption is outpacing the maturity of governance. When nearly a third of organisations lack a strategy to manage AI risk, and over half of IT leaders admit to using unsanctioned tools, it's clear that shadow AI isn't just a user issue - it's a leadership one. "Deepfake threats, data governance gaps, and a lack of trust in AI platforms are converging into a perfect storm. To stay secure and competitive, businesses must invest in visibility, policy clarity, and data readiness - because without those, AI becomes a liability, not a differentiator." See more stories here.

Ennis business owners are divided on whether the town's main street should remain pedestrianised into the future. From today, all routes in the town centre are open to traffic with the exception of O'Connell which is to remain pedestrian-only until February 16th. Clare County Council is seeking views from the public on future access, traffic flow, and possible pedestrianisation options for the street, with an online survey to go live on the Clare County Council website from December 8th. A new survey conducted by Retailers of Ennis meanwhile has found that 55% of local businesses are in favour of blending pedestrianisation and traffic flow on O'Connell Street, while the majority of respondents are calling for an increased Garda presence on the thoroughfare. Clare FM's Seán Lyons has been speaking to a number of concerned stakeholders including Retailers of Ennis chairperson and owner of Custy's Music Shop, John O'Connor. Photo (c) Clare FM

You're sitting around waiting for your shot. Someone else is losing sleep because they can't find you. They have a problem only you can solve. A gap only you can fill. But they don't know you exist yet. My mother-in-law taught me this years ago and it changed everything about how I approach opportunity. She didn't let me sit around hoping things would work out. She kicked my butt and told me the truth. Somebody needs what you have to offer right now. Your only job? Go find them. Featured Story I walked into my boss's office at the radio station and quit. I'd been working production, making commercials in the back room. Not my thing. I knew podcasting was coming and I had to get out. He asked me how I could just walk away from security, benefits, vacation time. How could I be so sure something better was waiting? I told him what my mother-in-law taught me. Between that radio station and my house, about 15 miles, somebody was sitting in their office right then with a problem. They were saying, "If I could just find someone to fix this for me." They were losing sleep because they didn't know I existed. My job was to go find them. Important Points Someone right now needs exactly what you have to offer but they're stuck because they don't know you exist yet. Waiting around hoping things work out is the opposite of understanding that people are actively looking for you to solve their problem. Your job isn't to hope or pray for opportunity but to go find the people who need you and let them know you're here. Memorable Quotes "Somebody out there needs what you have to offer. They don't even know you exist. So get out there and let them know you exist." "There is somebody right now in a business that has a problem. They're losing sleep because they don't know you exist." "When I want to grow my business, I just reach out to find people who need me and boy, they're out there." Scott's Three-Step Approach Stop waiting for someone else to lift your dreams or hoping opportunity finds you while you sit at home. Shift your mindset from "I hope this works out" to understanding that someone is actively looking for what you offer. Go find the people who need you by getting out there, banging on doors, talking to people, and making yourself known.

Episode #437: Researchers Myat Su Thwe, a human-rights scholar, and Kyaw Lwin, a socio-legal specialist, examine how Myanmar's National Unity Government (NUG) operates digitally after the 2021 coup in their study Digital Governance in Exile. They describe a government forced online by warfare and displacement, assessing whether its services genuinely meet citizens' needs through a “socio-technical framework” that weighs technology against inclusivity, language, and security. Myat Su Thwe explains that ministries of Health, Education, and Finance deliver essential services through tele-medicine, online schooling, and blockchain-based finance. Tele-Gemar connects volunteer doctors abroad with ethnic-minority patients via local interpreters; digital schools issue the Basic Education Completion Assessment; and the Spring Development Bank and Aung Pay wallet allow secure, anonymous transactions outside junta control. Kyaw Lwin notes progress but warns of weak internet, cyber-attacks, and low digital literacy. Both describe volunteers countering hacks, phishing, and state surveillance, stressing that literacy determines whether digital tools “are weaponized or contribute to society.” Survey data show moderate public trust, limited mainly by fear of surveillance. The researchers also highlight cooperation between NUG ministries and ethnic armed organizations in health, education, and local finance, along with experimental AI-based counseling and humanitarian databases. They call for interoperable systems, stronger privacy laws, and a roadmap for digital justice, arguing that courts and records must be modernized despite the war. Myat Su Thwe extends the discussion to food security, urging digital mapping and cross-border coordination with Thailand and India to address famine conditions. In closing, she asserts that NUG legitimacy depends not only on its constitutional origin but on its performance and capacity to lead. Kyaw Lwin concludes, “While others debate artificial intelligence and life beyond Earth, we are still fighting yesterday's war,” capturing the resilience of a society rebuilding governance through code and conviction.

A new survey finds that nearly every service member living in privatized military housing has experienced serious problems in their home and many of those issues go unresolved. The Change the Air Foundation recently launched the Safe Military Housing Survey, one of the most comprehensive efforts yet to collect data the Defense Department has never been able to track accurately. The nonprofit found that three quarters of respondents were dealing with mold and microbial growth, which is extremely hazardous to a person's health. For more, Federal News Network's Anastasia Obis spoke with Erica Thompson, a military spouse and the military families' liaison for the Change the Air Foundation, and Brandon Chappo, director of public policy at the foundation.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Auxilion, the leading Irish IT managed services provider, has announced the results of its latest survey which reveals that almost a third (31%) of office workers in Ireland use their work device for personal use. The survey of 1,000 office workers in Ireland was conducted by Censuswide on behalf of Auxilion and HPE. The research identifies several risky behaviours among office workers that has the potential to put cybersecurity at risk. One common behaviour includes clicking on a suspicious link or email at work, cited by 32% of respondents. One in five (22%) also admitted to using public wi-fi to access sensitive company documents. Over a quarter (26%) have input sensitive company or customer data into an Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool. In addition, a third (33%) have used unauthorised tools to get their work done faster. Despite these behaviours, the majority of office workers (73%) are confident in their ability to spot a potential cyber threat. Password protection was also highlighted as an area for concern, with almost a fifth (19%) of office workers admitting to sharing their work password with friends and family. A further 14% have used the same password for both work and personal accounts. While over half of respondents (54%) feel confident in their password security, one in ten do not. As such, it may come as no surprise that 23% organisations have suffered a cybersecurity breach in the last 12 months. This was highest among the public sector at 28%. In addition, 23% of office workers admitted that they did not report a known security breach (i.e. where a cybersecurity attack was successful). With the prevalence of high-risk behaviours among office workers, over half (55%) of companies have run simulated phishing tests to raise awareness about cybersecurity. Despite this, a quarter (25%) of respondents believe their organisation does not have adequate security and data loss prevention measures in place. A third (32%) of office workers also revealed they do not receive regular cybersecurity training from their employer. Martin Patterson, Head of Innovation, Auxilion said: "While it's unsurprising that many employees use work devices for personal tasks, our survey highlights a far greater concern - the ease with which everyday actions, such as opening a link in an email or using AI tools, can expose organisations to security risks. "Human behaviour remains one of the biggest vulnerabilities in cybersecurity. That's why investing in ongoing training and building a culture of awareness are just as important as having the right technology in place. By equipping employees with the knowledge to spot and avoid potential threats, businesses can strengthen their first line of defence." See more stories here.

Understanding the Modern Customer Experience: A Guide for Aspiring Professionals 1.0 Introduction: The Great Customer Experience Divide In today's competitive market, the customer experience isn't just a part of the brand; it is the brand. Every interaction, from a first glance at a social media post to a final click on a purchase button, serves as a referendum on a company's value and trustworthiness. Get it right, and you build loyalty. Get it wrong, and customers will walk away without a second thought. 1.1 The Loyalty Illusion A significant conflict is brewing between how businesses perceive customer loyalty and how customers actually feel. This "loyalty illusion" creates a dangerous blind spot for executives who believe they are succeeding while their customer base is quietly eroding. Executive Belief Consumer Reality ~90% of executives believe customer loyalty has grown in recent years. Only 40% of consumers feel they have become more loyal to brands. This perception gap isn't just a difference of opinion; it's a direct threat to revenue. "About nine out of 10 [executives] say customer loyalty has grown in recent years, but only four in 10 consumers say the same." The business risks of this blind spot are clear: 52% of consumers have stopped buying from a brand due to a bad product or service experience, and 29% have abandoned a brand due to poor customer experience. To close this gap, companies must first understand the entire modern customer journey, which starts long before a customer ever visits a website or store. 2.0 The Customer Journey: From First Glance to Final Click 2.1 Redefining the Starting Line Customer loyalty no longer begins at a company's digital or physical front door. It's now seeded much earlier in what can be called the "experience supply chain"—the connected sequence of interactions that moves a person from curious to committed. This journey often starts in the realm of indirect influence. Key "indirect influence" touchpoints include: A friend's recommendation A discussion thread on Reddit A product review on an independent site While price remains the single most significant factor for 69% of consumers when making a purchase decision, mastering these early stages of discovery and influence is critical for building the long-term commitment that defines true loyalty. 2.2 What Brands Can Do To win customers in this new landscape, brands must adopt a more holistic and proactive approach to the customer journey. Analyze the Journey: Use data analytics and AI to forensically examine every step of the customer life cycle. This allows you to identify and fix points of friction before they drive potential customers away. Embrace New "Front Doors": Treat online comment threads, product comparison sites, and even AI-generated search results as strategic entry points to your brand. These platforms are where modern discovery happens. Ensure Consistency: Align every touchpoint—from social media chatter to post-purchase support—with a cohesive brand narrative. This consistency builds the trust necessary for a customer to move from awareness to action. Understanding the full customer journey is the first step. The next is understanding what customers truly expect from a brand during that journey. 3.0 Beyond the Basics: What Customers Truly Value 3.1 Table Stakes vs. True Delight In the modern marketplace, fundamentals like fair pricing and product quality are no longer differentiators. They are simply "table stakes"—the minimum cost of entry to compete. The real opportunity for brands lies in their ability to layer personalized, meaningful value on top of these basics to create moments of true delight. Factor Considered a Minimum Expectation (%) Considered a Bonus (%) Good value for price 77% 19% Product/service quality 76% 20% Transparent business practices 58% 35% Personalized experiences 17% 62% However, many companies are struggling to keep up. A staggering 70% of executives feel that customer expectations are evolving faster than their company can adapt. This widening gap creates a significant risk of eroding customer trust and losing business to more agile competitors. 3.2 The Generational Lens Customer expectations are not one-size-fits-all; they vary significantly across generations. A strategy that delights one demographic may alienate another. Brands must segment their approach to meet these diverse needs. Boomers: This group is generally less likely to be influenced by a brand's social media presence or its sustainability efforts. Millennials and Gen Z: In contrast, these younger consumers pay close attention to a brand's values, online activities, and social impact. Successfully meeting these varied and rapidly evolving expectations increasingly involves technology, particularly Artificial Intelligence. 4.0 The AI Paradox: A Tool for Help and Hindrance 4.1 High Ambition, High Anxiety Artificial Intelligence represents the new frontier in customer engagement, but its rapid adoption has created a central paradox. While companies are rushing to implement AI-driven solutions, many customers remain wary. A majority of consumers (58%) report being "only somewhat or not at all comfortable" using AI tools to engage with brands. This suggests that AI implementation is often driven more by a company's internal ambition for efficiency than by genuine customer demand, creating a gap between what brands offer and what customers actually want. 4.2 Finding the Right Balance Consumer acceptance of AI is highly nuanced and depends heavily on the specific task. More Likely to Use AI for: Simple, transactional tasks like tracking an order or delivery status (49%). Less Likely to Use AI for: Sensitive interactions like making a payment (29%). Crucially, despite the rise of automation, 86% of consumers still say that human interaction is moderately or very important to their brand experience. The key insight for aspiring professionals is that successful brands don't choose between AI and human support; they integrate them. They use AI for efficiency where it adds value but provide clear, fast paths to human support when empathy, nuance, and judgment are required. This balance between technology and humanity extends to the data that fuels these systems, bringing the issue of privacy to the forefront. 5.0 The Data Dilemma: Balancing Personalization and Privacy 5.1 The Trust Trigger Personalization presents another paradox for modern brands: customers want it, right up until the moment they don't. The desire for a smooth, tailored experience often conflicts with concerns over data privacy, creating a delicate balancing act for companies. "More than half of consumers (53%) think that it's worth it to share personal information if it makes their experience interacting with a brand smoother. But mishandle that data and 93% say that a brand will lose their trust." This dynamic means that every personalization strategy carries a built-in "trust trigger." Respecting data boundaries is no longer just about legal compliance; it has become a powerful competitive advantage. 5.2 What Brands Can Do To navigate this dilemma, brands should adopt a set of core principles that build trust while delivering value. Focus on low-intrusion data: Prioritize using information like stated preferences and past purchases to tailor experiences. This provides value without crossing sensitive privacy lines. Be transparent: Clearly communicate what data is being collected and why. When customers see an immediate and tangible benefit in return, they are more likely to trust the exchange. Empower the customer: Give customers a sense of control over their data. When personalization feels like a choice, it becomes a driver of loyalty, not a red flag. By internalizing these lessons, companies can reshape their approach to building lasting customer relationships. 6.0 Actionable Principles for a Modern Customer Experience To succeed in today's landscape, aspiring professionals should focus on a set of core principles that connect the entire customer journey, from discovery to long-term loyalty. Treat discovery like a make-or-break moment. A customer's journey starts long before they visit your website. Design every early touchpoint as a seamless, story-driven experience. Rebuild loyalty based on behavior, not fantasy. Reassess loyalty programs based on real customer actions and measurable business goals, not assumptions. Segment smarter and personalize with purpose. Move beyond generic demographics to target customers by generation, behavior, and emotional triggers to deliver true relevance. Pair AI with empathy and know when to hand off. Use AI to streamline simple tasks, but ensure a quick and easy path to human support when nuance and empathy matter most. Win the moments that matter or lose customers. Identify the high-stakes moments in the customer journey where loyalty can be instantly won or lost, and design solutions to win them decisively. Turn privacy into a competitive advantage. Build trust by being transparent, providing clear value, and giving customers control over their personal data. Measure what actually moves the needle. Go beyond traditional metrics to track the behavioral, emotional, and financial impact of your customer experience initiatives. These seven principles are the foundational building blocks for anyone seeking to create the exceptional and effective customer experiences that define modern brands.

The Todd Herman Show, produced by Grok:GROK - Podcast Episode Outline: "Faith in the Fight: How Democrats and Republicans Weaponize Christianity for Power"Episode Title: Faith in the Fight: How Democrats and Republicans Weaponize Christianity for PowerAir Date: Monday, November 17, 2025 (Recorded live from the studio on November 15)Host: [Your Host's Name], award-winning journalist and political commentatorProducer Notes: This episode unpacks the cynical ways both major U.S. parties invoke Christian faith to rally voters and justify policies in 2025's polarized landscape. With Trump's second term sparking debates over "Christian nationalism" via Project 2025 and Democrats countering with progressive "faith outreach" amid immigration raids and shutdown fallout, we'll highlight how scripture is twisted for electoral gain. Drawing on fresh polls, articles, and video clips, the show reveals the moral asymmetries and hypocrisies. Runtime: 50 minutes. Tone: Provocative yet balanced, blending outrage with nuance and guest debates. Music: Somber choral opener evoking hymns, shifting to urgent percussion for policy clashes.Episode Structure & Script Teaser1. Cold Open (0:00–3:00)Audio Hook: Montage of Trump's Bible-waving rally clips, Pelosi quoting St. Francis during the shutdown, and evangelical pastors endorsing deportations as "God's will."2. Segment 1: The Polls – What Christians Really Think (and Vote) (3:00–12:00)Focus: Dive into data showing stark divides: White evangelicals' lockstep GOP loyalty vs. Black Protestants' Democratic tilt, with independents disillusioned by both sides' faith pandering. Host reads synopses aloud, weaving in analysis on how parties exploit these splits.Key Talking Points:White Christians (41% of voters) gave Trump 72% support in 2024, per PRRI, seeing him as "God-ordained" (60% of white evangelicals agree). Republicans leverage this for anti-abortion and immigration policies framed as "biblical mandates."Black Protestants (83% for Harris) and Hispanic Catholics (50% Dem lean) prioritize social justice, which Democrats tie to "welcoming the stranger" (Matthew 25).Overall, 25% of voters believe God picked Trump; Christian nationalism correlates perfectly with Trump votes in red states. But 62% oppose declaring the U.S. a "Christian nation," signaling backlash to GOP theocracy pushes.Poll/SourceSynopsisLinkPRRI 2024 Post-Election American Values SurveyWhite Christians (41% of voters) backed Trump 72%, with 60% of white evangelicals believing God "ordained" his win; Black Protestants favored Harris 83%. Highlights GOP's "divine mandate" narrative vs. Dems' justice focus, but only 25% overall see God's hand in elections.PRRI.orgPew Research Center 2025 Survey on Religion & Politics59% of Protestants lean GOP, 50% of Catholics Republican (up from even split); 67% of Republicans want Bible influencing laws vs. 32% of Dems. Reveals parties' faith appeals: GOP pushes "Christian morals in policy," Dems emphasize church-state separation.PewResearch.orgPRRI 2025 State-Level Christian Nationalism SurveySupport for Christian nationalism (highest in MS/OK at 51%) perfectly correlates with Trump votes; 62% nationally oppose U.S. as "Christian nation." Exposes GOP's state-level theocracy push (e.g., embryo rulings) vs. Dems' opposition as "extremism."PRRI.org3. Segment 2: The Articles – Scripture as Strategy (12:00–28:00)Focus: Explore how Republicans fuse faith with nationalism (Project 2025) while Democrats rebrand as "compassionate Christians" on immigration and equity. Host discusses synopses, contrasting GOP's "moral restoration" with Dems' "perversion of Christianity" critiques.Key Talking Points:GOP: Project 2025 as "Christian nationalist fever dream," redefining freedom "by God, not man" to justify anti-LGBTQ+ and abortion bans.Dems: Shift to faith outreach (e.g., Pelosi's St. Francis invocation) to counter "Christian fascism," but accused of ignoring biblical basics like life sanctity.Both: Historical "poisonous bargain" since Reagan, turning faith into votes while eroding morals. X post [post:61] nails it: Pastors must call out Dem platform's "detestable" policies.Guest Spot: Historian [Guest Name] (e.g., Kristin Du Mez) debates a GOP strategist on whether Dems' "Christian socialism" or GOP's "theocracy" is the bigger threat.Producer Tip: Read X post [post:54] excerpt: "Dems enshrine sin in platform; GOP does not."
