It's a proper News Day Tuesday today on the Majority Report On today's program: Today is primary day in Illinois and AIPAC is pouring millions in as the scramble to beat the anti-genocide candidates. Trump claims no expert could have known that Iran would retaliate by targeting neighboring countries' infrastructure. But Nate Swanson, a 20-year State Department veteran focused on Iran, had already outlined this exact scenario. Swanson was later pushed out after Laura Loomer urged Trump to remove officials she viewed as disloyal. Trump Claims to have predicted that Iran would weaponize the strait of Hormuz, just like he "predicted" that Osama Bin Laden would knock down the World Trade Center towers. We take a look back at when Michael Moore was booed at the Oscars for speaking out again Bush and his illegal war in Iraq. Trump says that it will be his honor to "take" Cuba saying whether he "frees it or just takes it...I can do whatever I want". Trump is asked about Israel's planned ground invasion in Lebanon to which he responds with a rambling story about how he is confused about how people live in places that get bombed so much. In the Fun Half: Tim Pool attempts a hit piece on Mamdani but falls flat. He claims Mamdani is telling the working class they're no longer welcome in New York, a fundamental misreading of Zohran's platform, which has centered on affordability from the very beginning. Trump unleashes a HIPPA violation on a Florida congressman by revealing gruesome details about his health issues during a press conference at the Kennedy Center. RFK, Jr releases an AI generated video of him wrestling a twinkie.

Interview with Paul Ténière, CEO of Lafleur Minerals Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/lafleur-minerals-cselflr-from-pea-to-production-a-12-month-gold-timeline-8402Recording date: 10th March 2026Lafleur Minerals (CSE: LFLR) is positioning itself as a near-term gold producer in Quebec's Abitibi-Témiscamingue region, targeting production by the end of 2026 through its Swanson deposit and Beacon Mill. The company's recently released Preliminary Economic Assessment demonstrates robust economics with a $101 million NPV and 65% internal rate of return at a conservative $2,750 per ounce gold price, while maintaining all-in sustaining costs of $1,569 per ounce over a seven-year mine life.The project's accelerated timeline stems from significant existing infrastructure advantages. The Beacon Mill, recently refurbished and currently being recommissioned, has a nameplate capacity of 750 tonnes per day with near-term expansion potential to 1,250 tonnes per day. The Swanson deposit sits on an existing mining lease, substantially reducing permitting timelines that typically plague greenfield projects. With initial capital requirements of approximately $30 million Canadian, the company is evaluating multiple financing pathways including offtake agreements, equity raises, and potential merger scenarios.Lafleur currently reports just over 200,000 ounces in combined indicated and inferred categories, representing a 30% increase from previous estimates. Management targets reaching one million ounces through depth extensions beyond the historical 350-meter drilling limit and advancement of satellite deposits including Bartec and Jolin. The company's drilling programs have identified continued mineralization between 350 and 500 meters depth, consistent with typical Abitibi geology.Beyond standalone production, Lafleur is pursuing a hub-and-spoke model with Beacon serving as a regional processing center. As major producers have shifted focus toward feeding their own mills, third-party processing capacity has tightened across the district. This creates opportunity for mid-tier processors like Lafleur to capture value through custom milling while justifying future mill expansions to 3,000-4,000 tonnes per day. The strategy positions the company as both a producer and regional infrastructure provider in one of Canada's most prolific gold districts.View Lafleur Minerals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/lafleur-mineralsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Illinois lawmakers are pushing for more federal support to fight Lyme disease. The House public health committee has adopted a resolution sponsored by State Representative Dan Swanson, which calls for increased funding to find a cure. Swanson highlighted a rise in Lyme cases across the state, noting that available data may underestimate the problem, as major employers' insurance plans aren't included in official counts. The measure also urges the State Board of Education to launch tick-bite prevention lessons for schoolchildren, who are at particular risk. May 2026 would be designated as Lyme Disease Awareness Month under the resolution, now headed to the full House.
Alpha-gal syndrome, a serious allergic reaction linked to Lone Star tick bites, is driving new action in Illinois. State Representative Dan Swanson is backing legislation that would require the Department of Public Health to track cases of this meat and dairy allergy. If passed, medical providers will be required to report alpha-gal cases, giving officials a clearer picture of the syndrome's spread. Swanson emphasizes that cases are on the rise, and his focus is on raising awareness about AGS symptoms and potential dangers. The legislation aims to inform residents and better equip the state to address this emerging health threat.

In this episode of Derms and Conditions, host James Q. Del Rosso, DO, welcomes Lisa Swanson, MD, to explore how acne management continues to evolve and how newer topical therapies can be integrated thoughtfully from the outset. They begin with Dr Swanson highlighting an important clinical reality: acne is presenting at increasingly younger ages, prompting earlier conversations about skin care routines and long-term strategies. At the same time, dermatologists now have several truly novel topical options, an uncommon development in acne therapeutics over the past decade. Using a typical adolescent patient as a reference point, she then outlines the range of options she reviews in clinic: foundational topical regimens (retinoids, benzoyl peroxide combinations, clascoterone, topical minocycline foam, or fixed triple combinations), selective short courses of oral antibiotics, consideration of oral probiotics based on emerging data, and hormonal approaches in appropriate female patients. She emphasizes tailoring mechanisms when combining therapies; for example, pairing hormonal therapy with a topical that offers a complementary pathway. Dr Del Rosso revisits the 4 pillars of acne pathophysiology, highlighting androgen-driven sebum production as an upstream contributor. This leads to a focused discussion on clascoterone as the first topical androgen receptor inhibitor and how targeting sebum early may alter lesion development. Both clinicians stress that clascoterone is best viewed as foundational rather than adjunctive therapy, emphasizing the importance of setting realistic expectations on time to peak efficacy. The conversation also covers tolerability, barrier considerations, twice-daily adherence, and admixture data with common topical agents. Clinical pearls include setting early follow-ups to reinforce adherence, aligning office staff messaging, and using shared decision-making to balance patient priorities like oil control and pore appearance with mechanistic treatment goals. Tune in to the episode to hear real strategies for initiating acne therapy with intention, integrating newer topicals early, and guiding patients toward regimens that are both physiologically sound and sustainable in everyday practice.

In this episode, Darrell Swanson and Jarek Zych of EA Maven discuss the launch of AeroTesseract, a full-stack SaaS platform designed to bring investment-grade analysis to advanced air mobility (AAM). They explain that traditional aviation forecasting tools rely on historical air traffic data, which is unsuitable for emerging AAM routes. Instead, AeroTesseract uses surface mobility data and bottom-up, route-by-route modelling to identify viable markets. The platform integrates demand forecasting, scheduling, revenue modelling, energy requirements, and carbon analysis into one iterative workflow. It allows users to test sensitivities such as pricing, time savings, aircraft type, and propulsion system, while also modelling infrastructure revenues and grid capacity constraints. Both Darrell and Jarek emphasise realism and granular analysis over top-down market projections, positioning AeroTesseract as a potential industry-standard tool for operators, airports, OEMs, and governments planning the future of regional and urban air mobility.

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop sits down with Larry Swanson, a knowledge architect, community builder, and host of the Knowledge Graph Insights podcast. They explore the relationship between knowledge graphs and ontologies, why these technologies matter in the age of AI, and how symbolic AI complements the current wave of large language models. The conversation traces the history of neuro-symbolic AI from its origins at Dartmouth in 1956 through the semantic web vision of Tim Berners-Lee, examining why knowledge architecture remains underappreciated despite being deployed at major enterprises like Netflix, Amazon, and LinkedIn. Swanson explains how RDF (Resource Description Framework) enables both machines and humans to work with structured knowledge in ways that relational databases can't, while Alsop shares his journey from knowledge management director to understanding the practical necessity of ontologies for business operations. They discuss the philosophical roots of the field, the separation between knowledge management practitioners and knowledge engineers, and why startups often overlook these approaches until scale demands them. You can find Larry's podcast at KGI.fm or search for Knowledge Graph Insights on Spotify and YouTube.Timestamps00:00 Introduction to Knowledge Graphs and Ontologies01:09 The Importance of Ontologies in AI04:14 Philosophy's Role in Knowledge Management10:20 Debating the Relevance of RDF15:41 The Distinction Between Knowledge Management and Knowledge Engineering21:07 The Human Element in AI and Knowledge Architecture25:07 Startups vs. Enterprises: The Knowledge Gap29:57 Deterministic vs. Probabilistic AI32:18 The Marketing of AI: A Historical Perspective33:57 The Role of Knowledge Architecture in AI39:00 Understanding RDF and Its Importance44:47 The Intersection of AI and Human Intelligence50:50 Future Visions: AI, Ontologies, and Human BehaviorKey Insights1. Knowledge Graphs Combine Structure and Instances Through Ontological Design. A knowledge graph is built using an ontology that describes a specific domain you want to understand or work with. It includes both an ontological description of the terrain—defining what things exist and how they relate to one another—and instances of those things mapped to real-world data. This combination of abstract structure and concrete examples is what makes knowledge graphs powerful for discovery, question-answering, and enabling agentic AI systems. Not everyone agrees on the precise definition, but this understanding represents the practical approach most knowledge architects use when building these systems.2. Ontology Engineering Has Deep Philosophical Roots That Inform Modern Practice. The field draws heavily from classical philosophy, particularly ontology (the nature of what you know), epistemology (how you know what you know), and logic. These thousands-year-old philosophical frameworks provide the rigorous foundation for modern knowledge representation. Living in Heidelberg surrounded by philosophers, Swanson has discovered how much of knowledge graph work connects upstream to these philosophical roots. This philosophical grounding becomes especially important during times when institutional structures are collapsing, as we need to create new epistemological frameworks for civilization—knowledge management and ontology become critical tools for restructuring how we understand and organize information.3. The Semantic Web Vision Aimed to Transform the Internet Into a Distributed Database. Twenty-five years ago, Tim Berners-Lee, Jim Hendler, and Ora Lassila published a landmark article in Scientific American proposing the semantic web. While Berners-Lee had already connected documents across the web through HTML and HTTP, the semantic web aimed to connect all the data—essentially turning the internet into a giant database. This vision led to the development of RDF (Resource Description Framework), which emerged from DARPA research and provides the technical foundation for building knowledge graphs and ontologies. The origin story involved solving simple but important problems, like disambiguating whether "Cook" referred to a verb, noun, or a person's name at an academic conference.4. Symbolic AI and Neural Networks Represent Complementary Approaches Like Fast and Slow Thinking. Drawing on Kahneman's "thinking fast and slow" framework, LLMs represent the "fast brain"—learning monsters that can process enormous amounts of information and recognize patterns through natural language interfaces. Symbolic AI and knowledge graphs represent the "slow brain"—capturing actual knowledge and facts that can counter hallucinations and provide deterministic, explainable reasoning. This complementarity is driving the re-emergence of neuro-symbolic AI, which combines both approaches. The fundamental distinction is that symbolic AI systems are deterministic and can be fully explained, while LLMs are probabilistic and stochastic, making them unsuitable for applications requiring absolute reliability, such as industrial robotics or pharmaceutical research.5. Knowledge Architecture Remains Underappreciated Despite Powering Major Enterprises. While machine learning engineers currently receive most of the attention and budget, knowledge graphs actually power systems at Netflix (the economic graph), Amazon (the product graph), LinkedIn, Meta, and most major enterprises. The technology has been described as "the most astoundingly successful failure in the history of technology"—the semantic web vision seemed to fail, yet more than half of web pages now contain RDF-formatted semantic markup through schema.org, and every major enterprise uses knowledge graph technology in the background. Knowledge architects remain underappreciated partly because the work is cognitively difficult, requires talking to people (which engineers often avoid), and most advanced practitioners have PhDs in computer science, logic, or philosophy.6. RDF's Simple Subject-Predicate-Object Structure Enables Meaning and Data Linking. Unlike relational databases that store data in tables with rows and columns, RDF uses the simplest linguistic structure: subject-predicate-object (like "Larry knows Stuart"). Each element has a unique URI identifier, which permits precise meaning and enables linked data across systems. This graph structure makes it much easier to connect data after the fact compared to navigating tabular structures in relational databases. On top of RDF sits an entire stack of technologies including schema languages, query languages, ontological languages, and constraints languages—everything needed to turn data into actionable knowledge. The goal is inferring or articulating knowledge from RDF-structured data.7. The Future Requires Decoupled Modular Architectures Combining Multiple AI Approaches. The vision for the future involves separation of concerns through microservices-like architectures where different systems handle what they do best. LLMs excel at discovering possibilities and generating lists, while knowledge graphs excel at articulating human-vetted, deterministic versions of that information that systems can reliably use. Every one of Swanson's 300 podcast interviews over ten years ultimately concludes that regardless of technology, success comes down to human beings, their behavior, and the cultural changes needed to implement systems. The assumption that we can simply eliminate people from processes misses that huma...

In this episode of the DooDoo Diva's Smells Like Money Podcast, host Suzan Chin Taylor sits down with Shane Jacobson and Jacob Swanson, founders of Light Ring Inc., to explore a groundbreaking innovation improving manhole safety, visibility, and efficiency across the wastewater and utility industries.What started as a simple job site question — “Isn't there a better way to light a manhole?” — evolved into the Light Ring, a hands free lighting system designed by contractors for contractors.Shane shares his journey from operating a sewer maintenance company in Iowa to creating a multifunctional safety solution now used by municipalities, contractors, and utility crews nationwide. Together, Shane and Jacob explain how real world field testing transformed the Light Ring into far more than a light — becoming a safety barrier, tool protector, aerosol shield, and productivity enhancer.Throughout the episode, we discuss how the Light Ring improves job site safety, reduces confined space risks, prevents tool and nozzle loss, minimizes jetting aerosol exposure, and solves cold weather fogging challenges during CCTV inspections. Its bright safety orange design, non slip surfaces, raised edges, and quick release features make it a practical and OSHA compliant solution for underground infrastructure work.This conversation highlights how field driven innovation can dramatically improve worker safety, public protection, and operational efficiency.Key Topics Covered• The origin of the Light Ring and how it was invented• Hands free lighting for manholes and underground utilities• Improving safety beyond illumination• Preventing tool and nozzle loss• Reducing aerosol exposure during jetting• Solving winter CCTV fogging issues• Enhancing pedestrian and job site safety• Safety grant eligibility for municipalities• Additional Light Ring products including the Torch and Torch Light• Future innovations in utility safety equipmentConnect with Light Ring Inc.Website: https://lightringinc.comEmail: shane@lightringinc.comLinkedIn Shane Jacobson: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shane-jacobson-8b149882/Company LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/light-ring-incI hope you find this episode as informative and as exciting as we have.Please let us know your thoughts about the episode!Connect with Suzan Chin-Taylor, host of The DooDoo Diva's Smells Like Money Podcast:Website: www.creativeraven.com | https://thetuitgroup.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/creativeraven/Email: raven@creativeraven.com Telephone: +1 760-217-8010Listen and subscribe here to your favorite platform:Apple Podcast - Google Podcast - Cast Box - Overcast - Pocket Casts - YouTube - Spotifyhttps://creativeraven.com/smells-like-money-podcast/ Subscribe to the Podcast:https://creativeraven.com/smells-like-money-podcast/Be a guest on our show:https://calendly.com/thetuitgroup/be-a-podcast-guestCheck Out my NEW Digital Marketing E-Course & Coaching Program just for Wastewater Pros:https://store.thetuitgroup.com/diy-digital-marketing-playbook-for-wastewater-pros#WastewaterIndustry #ManholeSafety #UtilitySafety #CCTVInspection #JettingOperations #ConfinedSpaceSafety #InfrastructureInnovation #MunicipalUtilities #TrenchlessTechnology #SmellsLikeMoneyPodcast

The Bizarre Disappearance of Brandon SwansonBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/missing-persons-mysteries--5624803/support.
A Top Cop Breaks Down the Minneapolis Murder. And Another ICE Shooting. 500 Pushups a Day. Iran, Greenland, Ukraine, Venezuela. Verizon Fails. Harbaughs for the Win. Here it is. A defining moment for America. For the world. And for history. As America stares down the possibility of Donald Trump invoking the Insurrection Act to send federal troops into Minneapolis—and maybe Detroit next—Genesee County Sheriff Chris Swanson joins Independent Americans host Paul Rieckhoff for an urgent, no-bullshit conversation about power, policing, and how we stop this runaway train before it jumps the tracks. From ICE raids that are “a weapon, not a tool,” to masked federal agents, to what happens if active-duty troops roll into your town, this episode is a frontline briefing from a cop, firefighter, medic, professor and now Democratic candidate for governor of Michigan who has literally walked protesters away from the brink of violence. Sheriff Swanson breaks down how ICE is cannibalizing local law enforcement, what real police accountability looks like after George Floyd and January 6, and why he still chose to run as a different kind of Democrat in a state where independents and disillusioned voters may decide everything. Rieckhoff and Swanson also go deep on leadership, discipline and what it takes to be a “choose your fighter” kind of public servant in 2026—covering Swanson's bodybuilding and Ironman mindset, his near-vegan lifestyle, daily gratitude practice, and how “command presence” can calm a city or light it on fire. They dig into Michigan's high-stakes governor's race, the surge of independent voters, how Democrats lost the working class, and why Swanson is “burning the ships” with no Plan B. And they still find time for something good: youth sports, Lions heartbreak and hope, and a shot of inspiration for anyone feeling beaten down by the news but still ready to get off the couch and get in the fight. Because every episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff breaks down the most important news stories--and offers light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows. It's independent content for independent Americans. In these trying times especially, Independent Americans is your trusted place for independent news, politics, inspiration and hope.

From MPR News, Art Hounds are members of the Minnesota arts community who look beyond their own work to highlight what's exciting in local art. Their recommendations are lightly edited from the audio heard in the player above. Want to be an Art Hound? Submit here.Everyday beauty, captured outdoorsPainter Adam Swanson of Cloquet recommends seeing the work of painter Matt Kania at Duluth Pottery, on view now through February. The exhibit “From There to Here” features Kania's plein air paintings. There is an artist reception tonight from 5 to 7 p.m.Swanson says Kania is a prolific artist who takes the time to notice — and paint — both landscapes and scenes of everyday life.Dance meets scienceRachel Doran is co-director of Hothouse, a dance arts space in Northeast Minneapolis. She can't wait to see Black Label Movement's show “Rules of Life,” which combines dance with findings from cancer research.Performances are Jan. 16 and 17 — Friday at 7:30 p.m., and Saturday at 2 and 7:30 p.m. — at the Barbara Barker Center for Dance in Minneapolis. Please note: this 45-minute show seats audience members in pods for an immersive and up-close experience of the dance; no late-comers will be seated.Rachel says: Black Label Movement, a local contemporary dance company helmed by Carl Flink. They are premiering a new work, “Rules of Life,” on Jan. 16-17, which has been in development for years, through Carl's collaboration with cancer researchers David Odde and Paolo Provenzano. BL's work is physical-to-the-max, impressively so, pushing limits of what the dancing body can do, and what dancers can do together. I can't wait to see this culmination of research and output come together on stage.— Rachel DoranA fusion of West African and Celtic musicSpoken word artist Ibrahima Kaba, known as IBé, of Robbinsdale loves the West African–Celtic blend of the musical group Canadh Croí, which means “singing of the heart” in Irish Gaelic and is pronounced “Conna Cree,” just like Conakry, the capital of Guinea (and hometown of drummers Fodé and Sana Bangoura).The Twin Cities group combines West African rhythms with Irish and Scottish melodies. Their debut album is called “Badenya,” which is Mandinka for a family relationship that encompasses extended family. There is an album release concert Friday at 7:30 p.m. at the Celtic Junction Art Center in St. Paul.Ibrahima says: There is something nostalgic about the sound, how it both transport and transfixes. It both reminds me of the Guinean ceremonies and celebrations, and the feeling I get when I see pictures and videos of the Irish countryside. I think a blending of music tradition gives a result that's truly more than the sum of its parts. When I listen to Canadh Croí, they don't only take me to Guinea and the Ireland I imagine, but also a place totally different, new and refreshing, a place that I believe is as American as the Statue of Liberty. This is especially important to remember and celebrate in today's immigration climate, that one of the amazing and beautiful things about America is the opportunity it gives to bring together seemingly different cultures, to create something new, fresh and totally wonderful.— Ibrahima Kaba (IBé)

We discuss: How Jonathan developed calm under extreme startup pressure Athena's evolution from side hustle to billion-dollar vision Why great delegation is a skill, not magic Surprising personal and family delegation use cases Combining humans and AI for exponential leverage Quotes from Jonathan: “My mind is an inner citadel. I've got a good mind, a wife that loves me, and everything else is gravy.” “I started Athena with the sole goal of generating income for my wife and I to live off of.” “The vision of Athena is the best human assistants powered by the best AI.” “Humans are good UX. We've evolved to like humans.” “You don't build the first Tesla without a steering wheel.” “We're building something that watches assistants work, not to replace them, but to augment them.” “Delegation is a J-curve. It's slower at first, but compounds.” “The cardinal sin of delegation is thinking, ‘It's faster to do it myself.'” “You can think of an assistant as a cognitive prosthesis.” “Belief is the first limiter. Most people don't believe time freedom is possible.” “Ask yourself: If I had a hundred more hours a week, what would I do?” Important Quotes from the podcast on Business and Entrepreneurship There is no skill called “business.” Avoid business magazines and business classes. - Naval Ravikant You have to work up to the point where you can own equity in a business. You could own equity as a small shareholder where you bought stock. You could also own it as an owner where you started the company. Ownership is really important. Everybody who really makes money at some point owns a piece of a product, a business, or some IP. That can be through stock options if you work at a tech company. That's a fine way to start.
