It's the most curious paradox of today's digital revolution. While the computers, the internet, smartphones and AI all appear magical, they haven't actually translated into equally magical economic progress. That, at least, is the counter-intuitive argument of the Oxford economist Carl Benedikt Frey whose new book, How Progress Ends, suggests that the digital revolution isn't resulting in an equivalent revolution of productivity. History is repeating itself in an equally paradoxical way, Frey warns. We may, indeed, be repeating the productivity stagnation of the 1970s, in spite of our technological marvels. Unlike the 19th-century industrial revolution that radically transformed how we work, today's digital tools—however impressive—are primarily automating existing processes rather than creating fundamentally new types of economic activity that drive broad-based growth. And AI, by making existing work easier rather than creating new industries, will only compound this paradox. It might be the fate of not just the United States and Europe, but China as well. That, Frey warns, is how all progress will end.1. The Productivity Paradox is Real Despite revolutionary digital technologies, we're not seeing the productivity gains that past technological revolutions delivered. It took a century for steam to show its full economic impact, four decades for electricity—but even accounting for lag time, the computer revolution has underperformed economically compared to its transformative social effects.2. Automation vs. Innovation: The Critical Distinction True progress comes from creating entirely new industries and types of work, not just automating existing processes. The mid-20th century boom created the automobile industry and countless supporting sectors. Today's AI primarily makes existing work easier rather than spawning fundamentally new economic activities.3. Institutional Structure Trumps Technology The Soviet Union succeeded when scaling existing technology but failed when innovation was needed because it lacked decentralized exploration. Success requires competitive, decentralized systems where different actors can take different bets—like Google finding funding after Bessemer Ventures said no.4. Europe's Innovation Crisis Has a Clear Diagnosis Europe lags in digital not due to lack of talent or funding, but because of fragmented markets and regulatory burdens. The EU's internal trade barriers in services amount to a 110% tariff equivalent, while regulations like GDPR primarily benefit large incumbents who can absorb compliance costs.5. Geography Still Matters in the Digital Age Silicon Valley's success stemmed from unenforceable non-compete clauses that enabled job-hopping and knowledge transfer, while Detroit's enforcement of non-competes after 1985 contributed to its decline. As AI makes many services tradeable globally, high-cost innovation centers face new competitive pressures from lower-cost locations.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

The European Union's Digital Markets Act (DMA) is changing the app economy—and not for the better. This law aims to promote competition for European companies by restricting large online platforms' dominance, which are mostly American. But how is this working in practice? What are the main DMA-related challenges app developers should be aware of? And does the DMA create more problems than it solves? To answer these questions, Shane interviews Graham Dufault, general counsel of the App Association. In this role, he represents small and medium-sized mobile software developers and connected device companies within the app economy. His practical experience with the DMA's consequences is crucial for unpacking all this and more.

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.  Yesterday, Jimmy Kimmel lost his late-night gig for describing Charlie Kirk's alleged murderer as MAGA.  Other outrageous comments about Charlie himself deserve condemnation, too – including claims on social media to the effect that Israel was somehow involved in his assassination and that he was an asset of Israeli intelligence.  The evident contradiction between such lies notwithstanding, they exemplify intensifying efforts to divide Americans and foster in particular enmity towards the Jewish State and Jews. Who's behind this agenda? Obviously, anti-Semites come to mind. Sharia-supremacists bankrolled by Qatar are doubtless in the mix, as well.  And Chinese and Russian bots are reportedly promoting narratives about Charlie Kirk that inflame hostilities between Americans and otherwise advance China's long-running,         “unrestricted warfare” aimed at taking down our country. Irrespective of the source, such lies about Charlie Kirk must be denounced and their perpetrators held accountable.  This is Frank Gaffney.

When two equally capable managers get very different outcomes… We've all seen it (maybe lived it, too). Two people with:Similar skillsSimilar résumésSimilar resultsYet one gets tapped for the big meeting, lands the promotion, and becomes the go-to voice in high-stakes moments while the other gets a pat on the back and stays in the same position. This week's episode is about the invisibles that drive careers. More specifically, we're talking about Executive Presence. How you show up when it counts, how others experience you, and why that perception accelerates (or stalls) your career. This isn't about office politics or putting on a show. It's about specific, learnable signals you send in interviews, in rooms with decision-makers, and under pressure. You'll hear a tale of “Sarah vs. Mike” and a real interview debrief that reveals what leaders actually look for beyond your résumé. Then we break down the fixable gaps that can erode credibility. If you're smart, capable, and still not being fully seen and rewarded for the level you operate at, this one's for you. What we'll talk about:The self-awareness gap: when your intent and others' experience don't match and what to do about itThe problem with hedging and over-explaining, and how to project conviction without pretendingHow to evolve your style for bigger scope without becoming someone you're notEmotional steadiness and non-verbals: the signals you're sending without meaning to Check it out on our Webpage, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or YouTube.

Project 2025 began with a clandestine meeting of political strategists and conservative activists in the spring of 2022, their goal clear and unsettling: to engineer a dramatic transformation of American governance. By April 2023, this ambition took written form—a sprawling, 900-page policy blueprint released by the Heritage Foundation and dubbed Mandate for Leadership. Its stated purpose was simple: destroy the so-called “Administrative State” and concentrate presidential power like never before.Supporters of Project 2025 call it a necessary overhaul, arguing that “an unaccountable and biased bureaucracy” has long obstructed the will of the people. The plan's central premise is to place the entire federal executive branch, including agencies like the Department of Justice and the FBI, under direct White House control. As Kevin Roberts, Heritage Foundation president, declared, “All federal employees should answer to the president.” The project's architects are explicit—they want to rid agencies of perceived ideological opponents, filling key roles with loyalists on “Day One.” They envision the president hiring scores of political appointees with no expiration date, using what's known as Schedule F. Under this system, career civil servants could be transferred into politically appointed positions, stripping away their traditional legal protections against arbitrary removal or political interference.Kiron Skinner, who authored the State Department section of Project 2025, was blunt about her intentions: remove all senior staff and bring in conservatives ready to serve the administration's agenda. When interviewer Peter Bergen pressed her in June 2024 to provide examples of bureaucratic resistance, she came up empty handed. Despite this, the plan moves forward.Concrete proposals are sweeping. Project 2025 prescribes eliminating the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the United States Agency for International Development outright. The Department of Government Efficiency, led by Elon Musk, wasted no time, dissolving entire agencies, laying off tens of thousands, and initiating a government-wide return-to-office mandate. These personnel moves layered chaos atop the rollback of existing policy, leaving many agency missions in limbo.In criminal justice, Project 2025's recommendations are transformative and controversial. The agenda calls for the Department of Justice to charge or remove local prosecutors who, in their view, fail to sufficiently prosecute crimes like low-level marijuana possession or shoplifting. This would dismantle the tradition of local prosecutorial discretion, potentially pressuring DAs elected on reform platforms to abandon their priorities for fear of federal retribution. The plan also aims to expand federal law enforcement into local jurisdictions deemed “soft” on crime. According to the Brennan Center for Justice, these changes would shift the balance of power away from local communities and toward a politically driven federal apparatus.Project 2025 extends well beyond law enforcement. Its architects target environmental regulations, labor rights, health policies, and civil liberties. Detractors such as the ACLU warn that this initiative represents “a dystopian view of America,” threatening civil rights, reproductive freedoms, and hard-won democratic norms. The Center for Progressive Reform describes the project as “an authoritarian blueprint” likely to weaken the very institutions meant to protect public health, the environment, and equitable governance.Yet, proponents remain undeterred. They envision a streamlined government, claiming it will be more effective and responsive, a nod to longstanding conservative desires to reduce bureaucracy and entrench executive authority. Critics, however, see dangers in the centralization of power, the erosion of checks and balances, and the removal of expert administrators in favor of partisan loyalists.As the next presidential transition approaches, all eyes turn to the practical impact of Project 2025's prescriptions. Lawsuits and public pushback are already in motion, with labor unions and advocacy groups scrambling to block or mitigate the plan's most far-reaching aspects. Whether this ambitious blueprint will upend American governance or falter in the face of legal and institutional resistance remains uncertain.Thank you for tuning in.

In this episode, I explore the FORSA strike of school secretaries and caretakers, the glue of Irish schools. For over a century, their work has been underpaid, under-recognised, and taken for granted. Now, as they fight for pensions and parity, schools are left in vulnerable positions: keep schools open and potentially undermine the strike, or close them and face being the front page headline in the national media.From the long, neglected history of these roles, to the government's last-minute panic, to INTO's vague advice and the silence of management bodies, this strike exposes how fragile schools really are. And the truth is uncomfortable: by keeping things running, many may have already become SCABS. This is a public episode.

On this episode of “Fearless,” Jason Whitlock talks about the recent Netflix documentary “America's Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys” and what went wrong with the relationship of Jerry Jones and legendary coach Jimmy Johnson. Jerry Jones opens up to Michael Irvin about his experience trying to negotiate with Micah Parsons' agent. According to Jones, agent David Mulugheta was unreasonable over Parsons' contract, which Jones has said would have given Parsons the highest salary of any non-quarterback in the league. Whitlock explains what makes Jones such a great person to work for and why Parsons should think twice before leaving the Cowboys. Later in the show, guests T.J. Moe, Steve Kim, and Anthony Walker join Whitlock to discuss the Cowboys' current and past personnel problems, the Micah Parsons vs. Jerry Jones saga, and Eric Dickerson revealing that NFL teams were warned not to draft Shedeur Sanders. Angel Reese just helped lead the Chicago Sky to an important win, and Whitlock discusses her solid performance during As the WNBA Turns.

This week on Now I Get It, I dive into the real reason conspiracy theories—like those around Jeffrey Epstein—are taking hold of the public imagination. Spoiler: It's not just wild speculation. I walk you through how trust in our legal, political, and economic systems has eroded, why this distrust is historically grounded, and how the foundations of American democracy are being tested in real time.We'll explore how two competing visions of democracy—Greek versus Roman, Boston versus Charleston—have shaped the U.S., how corporate consolidation and “friction by design” have fueled economic inequality, and why even the noblest systems, like the Quaker-driven ethic of transparency, are breaking down. If you've ever felt that the system is rigged, this episode offers you the historical and economic context to understand why.In this episode, you will learn:(00:50) – Why the Epstein case taps into real public fear about justice, power, and protection for the elite(02:40) – How Boston and Charleston represent two opposing visions of democracy that still divide America(06:00) – What the Quakers got right about business—and how their transparency ethic shaped early capitalism(08:45) – How index funds and diversification quietly created monopolies and crushed competition(10:50) – Why the educated middle class moved away from workers—and how that shift opened the door for populism(11:50) – The dark design behind bad customer service—and how corporations profit by making you give up(13:30) – The Powell Memo: a corporate lawyer's battle plan that reshaped U.S. politics and rolled back democracy(17:00) – Real-life stories of healthcare inequality—and how wealth decides who lives or dies(18:00) – Why understanding these hidden forces is the first step to rebuilding trust and real changeLet's connect!linktr.ee/drprandy Hosted on Acast.

Trump blasts the outdated “blue slip” tradition, which allows a single senator to stall presidential appointments, calling it unconstitutional and a tool of sabotage. The transcript dives into the inner workings of D.C., alleging that top Republicans are colluding with Democrats to stall Trump's plans unless he grants political concessions—possibly including visa-based amnesty. The commentary warns of a deep, ongoing betrayal by establishment Republicans who, despite public appearances, are portrayed as obstacles to the America First movement.

This two-part exposé unpacks the internal and external forces blocking Donald Trump's political momentum. In the first segment, attention turns to the sabotage of Trump's appointments by both Democrats and key Republican figures like Senator Chuck Grassley and Speaker Mike Johnson. With the Senate slow-walking confirmations and GOP leaders allegedly calling Congress into session to block recess appointments, the host portrays Trump as politically cornered—even by his own party. In the second segment, the media's sudden resurfacing of Epstein-related allegations against Trump is framed as a preemptive strike against the possibility of Ghislaine Maxwell being pardoned in exchange for exonerating him. Together, these transcripts argue that coordinated moves by the GOP establishment and legacy media aim to neutralize Trump before he can reshape the judiciary—or reclaim the White House.

If you've ever found yourself stuck in patterns you can't explain or hitting a wall in your leadership that won't budge—there's a reason. In this episode of the Emotionally Healthy Leader Podcast, I explore one of the most overlooked but powerful forces shaping your life and leadership: your family of origin. The truth is, we all carry a family story. And unless we allow Jesus to meet us there—deep in those places—our leadership, relationships, and even our ability to hear God will be compromised. I'll walk you through how your family of origin influences your emotional maturity, your capacity to lead from your true self, and your ability to discern God's voice. I'll also share stories from my own journey and those of other leaders to help you recognize where you might be stuck—and how to move forward. This is part one of a two-part series you don't want to miss. The work of transformation begins with you.

In this riveting segment, Tara revisits the chilling story of South Carolina serial killer Todd Kohlhepp—whose unsettling encounters with families were warning signs many ignored—and underscores the vital importance of trusting your instincts. The conversation then pivots to the outrage over Idaho killer Bryan Kohberger's plea deal sparing him the death penalty, despite overwhelming evidence and the brutality of his crimes. Tara connects these failures of accountability to a broader ideological shift: a Marxist worldview infiltrating American politics, where criminals are recast as oppressed victims and prosecutors as oppressors. She unpacks remarks by New York's far-left mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani—who insists burglary isn't violence—and warns how this philosophy fuels dual justice and emboldens crime. The show closes by exposing a new app promoted by CNN that helps illegal immigrants evade ICE, including fugitives wanted for child rape, illustrating how radical activism is eroding law enforcement and public safety.

Tara explores two explosive stories showing how both the Left and the Republican establishment are sabotaging border security. In Denver, activists used the “Ice Block” app to help a convicted child rapist wanted by Interpol escape federal agents—highlighting how progressive networks actively obstruct law enforcement. Meanwhile, in Washington, GOP Senate leader John Thune and Lindsey Graham are inserting “poison pills” into Trump's immigration bill to preserve Medicaid for 1.4 million illegals, all while pretending their hands are tied by an unelected parliamentarian. Tara exposes how Bush-era donor influence still drives Republican betrayal, how Elon Musk is vowing to primary every pro-amnesty Republican, and why Trump's own fiscal promises could risk bankrupting America if economic growth falls short. In South Carolina, AG Alan Wilson announces his run for governor, promising to end the state income tax, unleash radical transparency, and deputize all state law enforcement to remove illegal immigrants—following Florida's aggressive deportation model.

Trump promised to cut inflation and to orchestrate mass deportations. However, his fiscal agenda is undermining his ability to find American workers to replace the illegal aliens. Trump is making the case that we need illegal aliens for blue-collar jobs, but today I make the case why it's his affinity for Medicaid and refusal to cut spending that is actually disincentivizing Americans to take these jobs. The spending and money-printing are making the cost of living unaffordable, plus recipients get free health care without working, so it's not worth it for Americans to take these jobs. Now Republicans are suffering all the liabilities of cutting spending without actually doing it and reaping the benefits. I also articulate an economic message Trump could use for younger voters but is sadly missing the opportunity to do so.   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In these explosive broadcasts, the hosts reveal how Democrats allegedly leaked classified intelligence about Trump's strikes on Iran's nuclear program—information sourced from unreliable Iranian operatives—to sabotage the former president and aid America's enemies. They argue this was no accident: within hours, the Ayatollah of Iran was parroting the same talking points the Democrats pushed on U.S. media. The discussion connects the dots between Iran's funding of antisemitic protests in America, the rise of radical socialist candidates like Zohran Mamdani, and a broader effort to undermine trust in the military and conservative leadership. With calls for prosecution, accusations of treason, and blistering criticism of both parties' establishment wings, the commentary warns that leaking intel to score political points doesn't just damage Trump—it empowers hostile regimes and threatens national security.
