Robert Reich, Co-founder of Inequality Media and President Bill Clinton's Secretary of Labor, joins the Beast's Jaonna Coles to warn us that the U.S. is sliding into authoritarianism. He lays out how Trump's White House distorts economic data, bullies CEOs, corrupts crypto markets, and undermines global alliances, while billionaires and media titans enable his rise. Reich also calls out cowardice among university leaders, corporate chiefs, and even Democrats who should be defending constitutional freedoms but instead bow to fear and greed. From Disney's censorship of Jimmy Kimmel to the silence of Silicon Valley, he argues that ordinary citizens may have to step in where elites have failed. Can American democracy survive when its leaders refuse to lead, or is it up to the public to stop Trump's march toward tyranny?  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Why does government keep wasting so much of our money—and can anything actually be done to fix it? That's the question more and more Americans are asking as debt explodes and inefficiency runs wild. Today, we're digging into one of the boldest ideas to take on this mess: the Department of Government Efficiency—better known as “DOGE.” Is it just another talking point, or is it the blueprint for real accountability?

Studio Sponsor: ⁠Cardio Miracle⁠ - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": ⁠CardioMiracle.com/TBNS⁠ In this episode of The Brian Nichols Show, we cut through the noise to expose how bloated government spending really is, from D.C. down to your local statehouse. Forget the political spin—this conversation gets to the heart of what's broken and how to actually start trimming the fat. Brandon Prichard joins the show to share firsthand insight from his time as an elected official in North Dakota, where he saw the swamp-style waste at the state level. From stacked committees to lawmakers who talk conservative but vote like big spenders, he explains how entrenched the problem really is—and why citizens can't just sit on the sidelines. We tackle the objections head-on. Critics say cutting spending means cutting lives. But what if taxpayer dollars are being funneled into activist groups, bricks-for-riots, or wasteful overseas projects instead of real needs? We walk through how to fight back against “weaponized empathy” and show the public the difference between compassion and corruption. If you're tired of seeing trillions vanish while nothing changes, this episode gives you both the fire and the framework to make a difference. Whether it's running for office, helping good candidates, or simply knowing how to counter the emotional traps thrown by the Left, you'll walk away with practical steps to bring accountability back to government.

This MTM Minute is powered by Move to Millions Ascension Archetype Quiz The MTM Minute is a quick dose of inspiration with a powerful affirmation based on our weekly full-length episode.  And beginning this season, the MTM Minute will include a prayer of the week for 7 figure CEOs and 7 figure CEOs in the making.  That's right, you don't have to choose – you can love God AND make millions. If you're still making business decisions based on what's in your bank account instead of what God already told you, you're not leading, you're defaulting. In this unapologetic episode of the Legacy-Led CEO series, Funded By Conviction ,  Dr. Darnyelle unpacks the bold truth: you are not funded by revenue, you are funded by conviction. Learn how code-switching, collapsing, and pricing from fear are sabotaging your ability to step into seven-figure leadership. This episode is a wake-up call for entrepreneurs who say they trust God but are still waiting for likes before they move. If you've ever questioned your pricing, your authority, or your readiness, this episode will shift you back into alignment, back into obedience, and back into the CEO seat with your birthright in full view. This episode will shift your understanding of what truly funds your business and future. It will call you out of data-driven hesitation and into divine instruction. You'll walk away with a clear understanding of how conviction, not confidence, not capital, not copy, is the currency of a legacy-led CEO. If you've been stuck, questioning, or shrinking, this episode will remind you that your yes to God is more powerful than any no from the world. This week's 7 Figure CEO Affirmation is I lead with conviction so deep, it silences every doubt and dismantles every delay. I no longer ask for permission to be who I was created to be. My decisions are not funded by fear, they are fueled by faith. I am not building for applause or algorithms, I am building for alignment. Even when evidence is absent, I obey. Because I know that God's instruction is my validation. Every move I make echoes through eternity, and my legacy is funded by my yes, not my likes. I move from divine knowing, not convenience, and that changes everything. Here are three actionable tips to anchor in this week's affirmation Audit Your Decision Drivers Stop defaulting to data, doubt, or delay. Ask yourself: “Am I leading from God's instruction or my insecurities?” Then course-correct in real time. Build an Entry Point, Not a Discount If your strategy is stalled and your sales have softened, don't slash your prices. Instead, create a spark offer that leads into your signature program without compromising its value. Choose Obedience Over Optics Conviction doesn't need consensus. If God gave you the vision, your job is to obey it. Stop waiting for clarity that will only come through action. Affirm with me: I lead with conviction so deep, it silences every doubt and dismantles every delay. I no longer ask for permission to be who I was created to be. My decisions are not funded by fear—they are fueled by faith. I am not building for applause or algorithms, I am building for alignment. Even when evidence is absent, I obey. Because I know that God's instruction is my validation. Every move I make echoes through eternity, and my legacy is funded by my yes, not my likes. I move from divine knowing, not convenience—and that changes everything. And this week's journal prompts are: I feel most convicted in my business when… The area where I've been leading from convenience instead of calling is… If I fully trusted God's instruction, I would… And Your Prayer of the Week: Dear God Thank you for reminding us that we are not funded by what we see—but by what we believe. Help us to lead our lives and our businesses with unwavering conviction. Quiet the noise of fear, delay, and self-doubt and amplify your voice inside of us. We declare that we will no longer settle for preference over purpose or convenience over calling. Teach us to trust what you've already spoken. Let us build with boldness, lead with obedience, and walk forward knowing that our conviction is the currency that funds the legacy you've assigned to our lives. We choose to move, not by sight, but by revelation. In your name, we build. Amen.

How do you protect creative time when you're balancing a design business, family life, and a packed calendar? For designer CEOs, carving out dedicated time to create the vision for new projects isn't just a luxury; it's essential for project success and team clarity.

You'll learn how to manage expectations, re-decide on your plans without guilt, and set boundaries that actually stick. Plus, I'll share the phrase that's helped me extend the same grace to myself that I naturally give to others.     Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.desicreswell.com/153   For the resources mentioned in this episode or to book a strategy session to work 1:1 with me, click here: https://www.desicreswell.com/resources

In this compelling episode of Partnering Leadership, Mahan Tavakoli is joined by one of the most sought-after advisors to Fortune 100 CEOs and boards—Ram Charan. Named “the most influential consultant alive” by Fortune, Charan draws on decades of boardroom experience and over 30 books—Execution, What the CEO Wants You to Know, The Amazon Management System, and more—to offer a timely and provocative leadership lens.As the global environment becomes permanently uncertain, Charan urges leaders to stop relying on outdated models of strategy and execution. Instead, he argues, CEOs must build adaptive systems—grounded in real-time data, rapid decision-making, and leadership accountability. And if you're still thinking of AI as a support tool rather than a core business model, you may already be falling behind.Throughout the conversation, Charan shares why execution—not strategy decks—is the true differentiator of high-performing organizations.

Send us a textPreparing our children for life's inevitable challenges might be the greatest gift we can offer them as parents. Jennifer Borget, a thriving content creator, former broadcast journalist, and homeschooling mother of three, reveals how modeling entrepreneurship and resilience has shaped her family's journey through both successes and setbacks.What began as an anonymous blog while working as a news anchor has evolved into a multifaceted content creation business spanning multiple platforms. Jennifer shares the unexpected path that led to developing physical products like the Family Movie Night Journal, which families across the country now use to create meaningful traditions together.The conversation dives deep into how children absorb entrepreneurial lessons through observation. Jennifer's kids witness two contrasting career models—their father's traditional employment and their mother's self-directed business—giving them a broader understanding of what's possible for their futures. Through practical involvement in her business, from helping with design elements to fulfilling orders, her children gain hands-on experience while creating family memories.Most powerfully, Jennifer emphasizes that showing our children how to navigate failure might be our most important teaching opportunity. "You can change your mind and that's okay" becomes a liberating mantra that reduces the fear of making mistakes. When children see parents pivot, adjust course, or even throw the occasional bagel during a moment of frustration, they learn that resilience isn't about perfection—it's about honest communication and getting back up after setbacks.For parents hoping to nurture limitless potential in their children, Jennifer offers this wisdom: counter the world's limiting messages with consistent affirmation, recognize each child's unique gifts rather than forcing predetermined paths, and create space for their individual dreams to flourish. The greatest legacy we can leave isn't financial success but children who believe in their ability to create meaningful lives on their own terms.Ready to transform how you balance business and family life?

On Healthy Waves, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Dr. Albert Bramante—veteran talent agent, PhD in psychology, certified hypnotist, and NLP practitioner—to break down how the story you tell yourself shapes mental health and performance. From limiting beliefs and the inner critic to practical mindset tools like reframing, hypnosis, and NLP, Albert explains how identity shifts fuel results for actors, CEOs, and high achievers alike. You'll learn the difference between healthy challenge (eustress) and toxic stress, how to spot early warning signs, and how to build daily systems that drive sustainable success without burnout. Direct, actionable, and grounded—this conversation helps you rewrite your inner narrative so you can perform with authenticity and balance. About the guest  : Dr. Albert Bramante is a long-time talent agent with 20+ years in TV, film, and theater. He also holds a PhD in psychology, is a certified hypnotist, and an NLP practitioner. He helps actors and high-performing professionals dismantle self-sabotage, shift identity, and perform with confidence. Key takeaways: Your self-story drives outcomes: Internal narratives formed in childhood (criticism vs. celebration) shape beliefs, identity, and mental health. Identity shift > willpower: Recast yourself as a survivor, not a victim to unlock resilient behavior and better performance. Reframing works: Tools from hypnosis/NLP help reframe events, reduce the inner critic, and enable authentic delivery in high-stakes moments (e.g., auditions, boardrooms). Eustress vs. distress:Eustress (a focused, time-bound arousal) boosts performance; toxic stress lingers and disrupts sleep, breathing, and eating patterns. Spot stress early: Persistent hypervigilance, irregular sleep, and appetite shifts are cautions that coping systems need attention. Action builds confidence: Consistent, small steps with feedback loops (“fail forward”) develop durable competence and calm. Balance prevents burnout: Maintain outside interests and supportive routines to counter high-judgment environments. Mind–body is one system: Mental stress elevates cortisol, impacting the body; physical and mental practices (mindfulness, movement, breathwork) should work together. Translate strengths across domains: Map your existing professional gravitas to new performance contexts to accelerate wins. Make it practical: Label emotions, reframe limits, set growth-mindset systems, and review results weekly.

Can you change your consciousness by changing the way that you breathe?This week, Thomas is joined by Rae Riedel, the co-founder, primary educator, and facilitator trainer of Integrative Breath. She's also a senior student of Thomas', having trained with him for over 13 years. Their conversation deeply explores the transformative power of breath work, bridging ancient mystical traditions with cutting-edge science.Breath is both a core element of spiritual practice and a physical process that directs the functioning of our nervous systems. It impacts how our brain stores memories, especially traumatic ones, and therefore plays a huge role in trauma healing and nervous system regulation.Rae and Thomas discuss how breath is also a portal into your unconscious mind and the depth of your spirit. Tune in to learn how to breathe in a way that supports somatic healing, connection with life, and a renewed feeling of vitality.✨ Click here to watch the video version of this episode on YouTube:

What happens when the rules you created come back to bite you? For decades, late-night hosts and media elites mocked conservatives, Christians, skeptics, and everyday Americans for daring to step outside the “approved” narrative. But now, one of their own is finally being forced to live under the very standards they helped build. Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": CardioMiracle.com/TBNS Jimmy Kimmel's suspension after his remarks about Charlie Kirk's assassination isn't cancel culture—it's accountability. For years, Kimmel mocked unvaccinated Americans, sneered at conservatives, and cheered on a culture that punished dissent. Today, he's facing the same machine he celebrated, and the irony couldn't be clearer. This episode dives into the culture of double standards in media and politics. We unpack how figures like Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, Brian Stelter, and Don Lemon helped fuel cancel culture—and how those same rules are now being used against them. The pendulum has swung, and the left is realizing they don't own the outrage mob anymore. From mocking “Rest in peace, wheezy” jokes during COVID, to smirking monologues about conservatives as second-class citizens, the hypocrisy is staggering. But when accountability finally lands on their doorstep, suddenly they cry foul. The truth? These aren't victims. They're architects of the very environment now turning on them. Stick around for this conversation on justice, accountability, and why government censorship will always be wrong—but marketplace accountability is not only fair, it's necessary. If you've ever felt silenced, mocked, or treated like your views don't matter, this is an episode you don't want to miss. ❤️ Order Cardio Miracle (CardioMiracle.com/TBNS) for 15% off and take a step towards better heart health and overall well-being!

Guest: Sasha Kelberg, a coach at CEO Coaching International. Sasha is a Wharton-trained entrepreneur, CEO, and strategic advisor with over two decades of experience building, scaling, and exiting high-tech manufacturing and export businesses. He has led teams from lab concept to global scale with a leadership style grounded in accountability, continuous improvement, and values-based culture. Quick Background:  It's impossible to lead your business with clarity if your identity is fused with your business. And it's impossible to achieve meaningful scale if your connection to the business is concentrating too much decision-making at the top. The best CEOs evolve beyond a start-up mindset as they learn to let go, pivot towards opportunity, and reinvent themselves as both leaders and as people.  On today's show, Sasha Kelberg explains why learning to separate yourself from your business is one of the most overlooked keys to Making BIG Happen.

You asked...we answered!In this first-ever “Ask Us Anything” episode, producer Melissa Martin flips the script and poses your biggest questions to host Matt Kirchner. The result is a candid, wide-ranging conversation that covers career decisions, workforce challenges, and the future of artificial intelligence.From elementary classrooms to C-suite hiring struggles to the role of AI in disrupting education, this episode explores the most pressing questions in STEM and technical education today. Matt and Melissa share real-world stories, practical advice, and unfiltered takes that every educator, employer, and student will find valuable.Listen to learn:Why career interests start forming as early as elementary school, and what kind of exposure matters mostHow young people can sort through post-secondary options without feeling trapped by a single choiceThe interview strategies that stand out to CEOs after thousands of candidate meetingsWhat manufacturers are getting right (and wrong) in the race to attract new talentHow AI is reshaping education, and why human relationships matter more than ever in the age of disruption3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. Early exposure changes student trajectories. Students begin shaping career perceptions as early as elementary school; use age-appropriate experiences to put advanced manufacturing and STEM on the radar. Matt traces his own path back to a fifth-grade plant tour - watching a vibratory deburring bowl - showing how simple, vivid experiences stick for years. 2. Talent pipelines are a long game. Employers that show up consistently, serve on advisory boards, visit classes often, bring students on site, even offer “pizza Tuesdays”, win attention and hires. Culture and first impressions matter on tours: clean, organized facilities and engaged employees signal a place students want to join, now and later. 3. AI elevates personalization and demands new pedagogy. Shift essay-style tasks toward live, in-class dialogue and reflection to reduce easy generative-AI shortcuts and increase real learning. Use data-informed, asynchronous pathways so learners who need time can take it, and those ready to advance aren't held back.Submit your own question for a future edition of Ask Us Anything on our website! https://techedpodcast.com/askusanything/We want to hear from you!

At a recent Yale CEO summit, the top business leaders in the country expressed their deep concerns that Donald Trump is tanking their businesses with his stupid decisions, particularly regarding tariffs. But tariffs weren't the only topic of discussion - these same leaders also made it clear that Trump's pressure on the federal reserve to lower interest rates would be a disaster right now. The Charlie Kirk Hate Rally Memorial took place over the weekend, and nearly every speaker present decided to use that opportunity to sow more hate and division in America. But no one sank to the level where Steve Bannon went when he declared in a broadcast from the memorial that "teachers are terrorists." This man is trying to get teachers targeted by frenzied right wingers, and we've already seen teachers and school boards across the country receiving threats at levels never before seen ever since Republicans took aim at them. During a black tie dinner gala on Saturday evening, Donald Trump took to the stage to cry to the audience about how mean Joe Biden was as a person. Trump didn't bother to elaborate on the manner in which Biden was mean to him, but he did immediately launch into a mocking rant about Biden having cancer. He went as far as to tell the crowd that they shouldn't feel bad for him because he was a bad guy. Interesting thought - we don't have to feel sympathy for bad things happening to someone if that person was a piece of garbage. Tulsi Gabbard, Donald Trump's Director of National Intelligence, committed a major blunder recently when she decided to strip 37 intelligence officials of their clearance, including top aides to the director of the CIA. On top of this, aides to the administration are FURIOUS over the fact that she did this without Trump's approval or knowledge, and they are warning Trump that Gabbard is going rogue and could be a threat to the administration. Farron discusses this new drama and the latest headache for Trump and his clown car cabinet. Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

While Julia Child is one of the most well-known chefs, her first cookbook had two additional coauthors. Even Scott's book has multiple heroes, as it was his publisher that suggested the topic. Scott's insight on the shadow of innovation. Questioning the status quo and innovating can create winners and losers. Scott's advice that if we want to get better at innovation, we need to find ways to get to intersections.

In this episode, we break down one of the biggest myths that keeps aspiring health coaches stuck: the idea that they've “missed their chance.”   The truth is, you're not too old, and it's not too late.   Most business founders don't start until their mid-40s, most CEOs are in their 50s, and the average millionaire doesn't arrive until their 60s.   Today, we'll explore why timing is less important than alignment—and how like-minded people attract each other.   As a health coach, your story, your experience, and your perspective matter.   The right clients will resonate with your journey, not your age.   If you've been doubting whether you can still launch, scale, or reignite your coaching business, this episode will remind you that the window of opportunity is still wide open.   And on today's Integrative #HealthCoachSuccess episode 404 we'll be sharing all the details of how to get started at any age and create a thriving health coaching business - Enjoy the show and let us know what you thought! - - -   Listen or Watch At:  IHP.Coach/404   - - - Dr. Cabral's Book, The Rain Barrel Effect: https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Become an Integrative Health Practitioner: https://integrativehealthpractitioner.org

In this episode, Bob Evans chats with Gerrit Kazmaier, President, Products and Technology, Workday. They explore how Workday is evolving into a platform company, the role of AI agents in reshaping enterprise workflows, and why trust, accuracy, and extensibility are key to future-ready business solutions. Kazmaier also discusses Workday's approach to ecosystem innovation and composable ERP.Workday's AI FutureThe Big Themes:AI at the Core: Workday is reshaping how enterprises operate by embedding AI into the core of their business processes. This isn't about slapping AI onto legacy systems as a side panel or assistant. It's about redefining how people work, with AI-led experiences, purpose-built agents, and intelligent orchestration. From onboarding to payroll, Workday is transforming each layer of the enterprise with tools that understand business context.Open Platform and Data Integration: Customers demand flexibility and interoperability. Workday is responding by making openness a foundational principle — not just a tagline. Through partnerships with Snowflake, Databricks, Microsoft, and Salesforce, Workday ensures that enterprise data is not locked away but is seamlessly integrated across platforms. Whether you're building a forecasting model in Snowflake or enriching financials in Workday, the data now flows freely.Workday's Focus: Kazmaier referenced a quote: “Technology evolves from primitive to complex to simple.” Today's ERP systems sit in the “complex” phase — bloated, hard to manage, and expensive. Workday's goal is to move ERP into the “simple” era. That means intuitive, intelligent systems that just work — powered by AI, open by design, and personalized for each user. The aim is to empower CEOs to drive outcomes, and employees to thrive at work, without wading through process chaos or outdated tools.The Big Quote: “I frankly think that today, the default is that vendors have a slew of generic agents, they hand them over to their customers, and wish them good luck in figuring out how it's supposed to work. When we say, open AI platform, I talk about purpose-built frameworks and tools like our new Agent Builder . . . so that you can seamlessly compose, you know, workflows in the definition and context of your business and expect them to work with high accuracy and reliability, without becoming an AI expert yourself."Learn more:Follow Gerrit on LinkedIn, and read more about Workday and agentic AI.

This week we're bringing you an episode of Bold Names, where co-hosts Christopher Mims and Tim Higgins speak to CEOs and business leaders, taking you inside the decisions being made in the C-suite and beyond. In this episode, IBM has made something of a comeback in the past five years under the leadership of CEO Arvind Krishna. That's thanks to a lot of the success in its hybrid cloud business, as well as its consulting services. All of this has led to a surge in the company's share price. Now, IBM is betting that quantum computing will be the next big thing. But will Big Blue succeed against rivals like Microsoft and Google who are racing to make their own quantum breakthroughs? And how is the company learning from its past mistakes with Watson AI? Arvind Krishna joins Christopher and Tim on the Bold Names podcast.

Ralph interviews New York Times reporter, David Gelles, about his new book, “Dirtbag Billionaire: How Yvon Chouinard Built Patagonia, Made a Fortune, and Gave It All Away.” Then, we welcome back former IRS commissioner, John Koskinen, to update us on how the Trump Administration is dismantling the IRS and stealing your personal information.David Gelles is a reporter on the New York Times climate team and he leads the Times's “Climate Forward” newsletter and events series. He is the author of The Man Who Broke Capitalism: How Jack Welch Gutted the Heartland and Crushed the Soul of Corporate America—and How to Undo His Legacy, and his new book is Dirtbag Billionaire: How Yvon Chouinard Built Patagonia, Made a Fortune, and Gave It All Away.He [Yvon Chouinard] saw Patagonia as a role model for other corporations and believed that by running Patagonia in a different way, he could show that capitalism just didn't have to suck so much.David GellesThere's a paradox that runs through the pages of Dirtbag Billionaire and it's never fully resolved…It's the fact that Chouinard is an environmentalist who wants to reduce the impact of mankind on planet earth, and yet he runs a big, complicated clothing company that is taking a toll on the environment that he's trying to protect. He runs a company that in theory, he says, and in practice is largely doing, the work of funding grassroots activists and environmental conservation. But he's doing it by participating in the very capitalist system that is responsible for so much of the damage to our natural world. And the list goes on. These contradictions are what really has animated Chouinard and his executive team for all these years. They understand their own perfections. But unlike most, they are willing to really examine their own failings, to look it square in the eye, straight in the mirror, and try to figure out how to make things better.David GellesChouinard being a “dirtbag” is something he always identified as and he still does at a certain level. The great insult in his mind is being called a “billionaire.”David GellesJohn Koskinen served as the IRS Commissioner from 2013 to 2017.Lobbyists and corporations are very good at making sure that [tax advantages] always stayed. You never hear too often of tax advantages taken out of the code, what everybody argues about as new ones being put into the code.John KoskinenThese (IRS workers) are very skilled people who in fact have given up the opportunity to make two or three times more money in the private sector because they believe in public service.John KoskinenNews 9/19/25* Just weeks after David Ellison's Skydance Media completed their $8 billion takeover of Paramount Global, Ellison is setting his sights even higher – a proposed $70 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, Variety reports. If this deal proceeds, it would mean that Ellison would control CNN in addition to CBS news, the latter of which he seemingly plans to place under the supervision of “anti-woke” arch-zionist media personality Bari Weiss. While true that cable news does not possess nearly as much clout as it did just a few years ago, this would represent a nearly unprecedented consolidation in that sector. Ellison and his lieutenants would wield a tremendous amount of influence in the media, which would translate to real impacts on the political process. It remains to be seen whether the Trump administration media regulators will take any action to block this deal. Based on their actions so far, it seems unlikely.* In more media news, ABC has indefinitely suspended Jimmy Kimmel Live!, which the comedian has hosted since 2003, after he criticized Trump and his allies for “capitaliz[ing]” on the murder of Charlie Kirk to score political points, CNN reports. Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr threatened action up to and including revoking the broadcast license for ABC, which airs the program, or possibly blocking their merger with Nexstar. While Rolling Stone reports multiple executives at ABC and its parent company Disney, felt that Kimmel “had not actually said anything over the line,” they folded immediately under the threat of retaliation by the administration. This move represents a major contradiction of Carr's previously stated belief that “[the FCC] must dismantle the censorship cartel and restore free speech rights for everyday Americans.” Democrats are incensed at this attack on free speech, Congressman Ro Khanna is seeking to subpoena Carr to testify to the House Oversight Committee. Trump, feeling confident after claiming the scalp of both Kimmel and Colbert – two outspoken critics – is now calling for NBC to remove Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers, via Truth Social. Variety reports conservative media conglomerate Sinclair will “replace the Friday timeslot of ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!' with a Charlie Kirk tribute special on its ABC affiliate stations — and is offering the special to all other ABC stations across the country.”* Regarding social media, the Wall Street Journal reports that the U.S. and China are nearing a deal on control of TikTok, under a framework in which “an investor consortium including Oracle... Silver Lake and Andreessen Horowitz” would acquire an 80% stake. Oracle is of course run by David Ellison's father, Larry Ellison, one of the richest men in the world, while Andreessen Horowitz is the venture capital firm of Trump ally Marc Andreessen. Silver Lake is another Silicon Valley private equity firm. This deal would finally put an end to the nebulous legal limbo created by Congress passing the TikTok ban and Trump refusing to enforce it. According to this report, the new company that would be created to run TikTok in America, “would also have an American-dominated board with one member designated by the U.S. government.”* The administration is seeking to shore up support in corporate America in other ways too. Trump has renewed his 2018 push to eliminate the reports businesses are mandated to issue on a quarterly basis, moving to a biannual reporting system. Trump argues that this shift would “cut costs and discourage shortsightedness on the part of publicly traded companies.” Others however believe that this change could be harmful to the economy, making companies less transparent and therefore increasing potential investor risk. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) said it is “making Trump's proposal a priority.” This from Reuters.* More troubling signs are emerging in the U.S economy. Per Bloomberg, “Consumers in the top 10% of the income distribution accounted for 49.2% of total spending,” in the second quarter of 2025. This is the highest percentage of consumer spending accounted for by that demographic going back to 1989, according to an analysis of the Federal Reserve's Financial Accounts and Survey of Consumer Finance data conducted by Mark Zandi, chief economist for Moody's. Chandan Economics reports a spike in late rent payments in August, suggesting stress in the “financial health of renter households,” while for homeowners, Polymarket reports that even more people are searching "help with mortgage" on Google than during the 2008 housing crisis. This comes as only 1.3 million home building permits were issued in August, the lowest level since the Spring of 2020, according to economist and Washington Post columnist Heather Long. Taken together, this data paints a picture of an economy flailing, and kept afloat only by the very rich.* Speaking of the very rich, the first American Pope, Leo the XIV, condemned the precipitous rise in CEO pay compared to their employees. Leo remarked that CEOs now make “600 times more than what average workers are receiving," adding "What does that mean…If [money] is the only thing that has value anymore, then we're in big trouble." Specifically, Leo was referring to the proposed new compensation package for Tesla CEO Elon Musk, which could turn the billionaire into a trillionaire. This from Yahoo! Finance. Senator Bernie Sanders echoed this sentiment, writing “The Pope is exactly right. No society can survive when one man becomes a trillionaire while the vast majority struggle to just survive — trying to put food on the table, pay rent and afford health care. We can and must do better.”* Turning to Israel and Gaza, AP reports Jerry Greenfield of Ben & Jerry's is resigning from the company after 47 years. In a letter, Jerry explains that he could not “in good conscience” remain at Ben & Jerry's because their parent company – the British conglomerate Unilever – has been constraining his ability to advocate against the genocide in Gaza. Jerry writes “For more than 20 years under their ownership, Ben & Jerry's stood up and spoke out in support of peace, justice and human rights, not as abstract concepts, but in relation to real events happening in our world…It's profoundly disappointing to come to the conclusion that that independence, the very basis of our sale to Unilever, is gone.” This is the largest, but by no means only, rupture between Ben & Jerry's and Unilever; this report notes “In March Ben & Jerry's said that its CEO was unlawfully removed by Unilever in retaliation for the ice cream maker's social and political activism.” However, as Greenfield's departure illustrates, the founders have little recourse besides their public platform and resignation.* In a sign of Israel's waning influence in the Democratic Party, POLITICO reports Democratic public affairs “megafirm” SKDK has ended their $600,000 contract with the state of Israel which was supposed to run from April 2025 through March 2026. The firm's recent focus had been “pitching guests for news shows to hear Israel's side of the war in Gaza.” The firm has been tight-lipped on this decision, saying only the work “had run its course.” Yet, this decision comes directly on the heels of reporting that Stagwell, the parent company of SKDK, was involved in “setting up a bot program ‘to amplify pro-Israel narratives on Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, and other platforms,'” as revealed in a Foreign Agents Registration Act filing.* On Wednesday, Senator Bernie Sanders crossed a major rhetorical rubicon, labeling Israel's actions in Gaza a “genocide.” In an op-ed appropriate titled “It Is Genocide,” Sanders cites the casualty totals – noting that “The full toll is likely much higher, with many thousands of bodies buried under the rubble” – along with the Israeli blockade on the enclave and their systematic destruction of Gaza's infrastructure, including hospitals, water and sanitation facilities and schools. Sanders also cites the genocidal intent expressed by Israeli leaders, through quotes like “the Gaza Strip should be flattened, and there should be one sentence for everyone there — death. We have to wipe the Gaza Strip off the map. There are no innocents there.” Sanders concludes this piece by warning that if the world fails to act, as during the Holocaust, Netanyahu and other “demagogues” will feel emboldened. History, Sanders writes “demands that the world act with one voice to say: enough is enough. No more genocide.” After Sanders' announcement, Vermont Congresswoman Becca Balint came out with her own statement accepting the genocide label. Zeteo reports a total of 20 members of Congress now say Israel is committing genocide.* Finally, to end on a positive note, on Monday the House passed the bipartisan Mental Health in Aviation Act, which seeks to “break down…barriers and support the mental health of our aviation workforce by changing the current rules which prevent aviation professionals from seeking mental health care by imposing unfair penalties on those who do,” according to a press release by the bill's Republican sponsor Pete Stauber. A press release from the Democratic sponsor, Sean Casten, reads “Aviators should not be unfairly penalized for seeking mental health care…The current system perpetuates a culture of silence, and it's past time that changes.” Some observers have attributed some credit for the passage of this bill to the comedian Nathan Fielder's series The Rehearsal, the latest season of which dealt extensively with the issue of aviators' mental health. While congressional staff have downplayed the show's influence, it seems hard to deny that at the very least it raised the profile of this pressing issue. Either way, hopefully this bill will make it safer to fly by removing the stigma from pilots seeking mental healthcare.
