Podcasts about us federal government

DOGE, US Fed Gov and the Future of HR & TA in the USA   We have to talk about DOGE.   The US Federal Government is the largest single employer in the United States at 2.5 million employees. The intent of the Trump 2.0 administration is to radically reduce this number - by at least 10% in the first tranche - and maybe to end up with a workforce of about 10% when it is all said and done.   This is unprecedented downsizing of government function, the likes of which we have rarely seen outside of active conflict situations. The role of TA / HR and People Ops in general is multi-faceted. On of the one hand, there are thousands of colleagues in these roles who will be impacted (perhaps disproportionately so?) and so might now find themselves abruptly on the job market. On another hand, as People Ops' pros one of the most important functions is to ensure organisational compliance with employment law - how can one do this when the organisation itself seems intent in ignoring it? Finally, People Ops functions have responsibility and duty of care for other employees, who will no doubt by overwhelming HR departments right now with requests for advice and support on what to do.   Brainfood Live cannot solve any of these problems but it can help shine a light into what is going on, so that we can better understand the implications and in so doing, find a way to best support the people most impacted.   It's going to be an open mic style show folks, so if you are in the US and want to talk part in this conversation, dial in.

They own, operate and sell the real estate assets of the US Federal Government.After what seems like a false start, the GSA had listed a number of properties for sale in recent days. Then the number of properties was cut back and then removed almost entirely. General Services Administration removed from its website about 440 federal buildings representing nearly 80 million square feet of space that only hours earlier it had listed for sale.There is no question that the US government is going to be getting rid of a lot of property in the coming weeks and months. We got a preview of some of those properties, but can't really speculate which ones will be re-offered for sale. Properties listed for sale on the GSA website are generally managed as an online auction. As of now the GSA website is listing only a handful of properties. I'm going to summarize the information on one building that I'm actually somewhat familiar with.---------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

Kia ora,Welcome to Friday'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 of deliberate chaos being constructed in Washington DC with a much higher prospect of a US Federal Government shutdown likely. Authorised funding expires later today / Friday, US time. Financial risks are sharply elevated today, and markets are pricing these in.Elsewhere, US jobless claims fell sharply last week and by more than can be accounted for by seasonal factors. There are now a bit less than 1.9 mln people on these benefits.The PhillyFed survey of factories in America's traditional rust belt turned very negative, the worst result since April 2023. Soft demand was behind this shift. Optimism about the future took a hit too.The Kansas City Fed's equivalent survey in its region wasn't so negative, but it wasn't positive either. Optimism was a bit better there however.American existing home sales in November rose, but to be fair it is still stuck in the very low range it has had post-pandemic which is even lower than the post-GFC range, and back to levels first seen in 1995. So the November rise in that perspective is kind of irrelevant, no matter what the industry peak body says.The US Conference Board leading index tracking rose in November. Higher building permits, high equity prices, rising average hours worked in manufacturing, and fewer initial jobless claims boosted the November result. But the December result will no doubt take a hit from the current Washington shenanigans.The final estimate for US Q3-2024 GDP raised the expansion to +3.1% and extending the good run they have had since mid-2022. The US economy delivered US$29.4 tln of economic activity in the past year, with the expansion of +US$1.4 tln and the most ever. And that describes what is at risk from bad policy.Elsewhere there were many central bank rate reviews.In Japan, the Bank of Japan held its key short-term interest rate unchanged at 0.25%, keeping it at the highest level since 2008. That was what financial markets expected. But the vote was split 8-1, with one board member wanting a +25 bps increase. Essentially they are waiting to see how destabilising the incoming American Administration will be. But the bank boss seems to have turned dovish in the circumstances, and that turn moved markets.In Taiwan, they kept their policy rate unchanged at 2%In the Philippines, they cut their rate by -25 bps to 5.75%.In Sweden, they cut by -25 bps to 2.5%.In Norway, they held at 4.5%.In England, they held unchanged at 4.75% with a split 6:3 vote with the dissenters wanting a cut. This is a pause as inflation starts to rise there again.In something of a surprise, Australian inflation expectations rose to 4.2% in December, ending their encouraging falls that started in September. It is not a result either the RBA or the Australian Treasury would have wanted.Container freight rates rose +8% last week but to be fair that was only because of a +26% rise in teh China-to-USWC route and a +17% rise in Chin-to-New York as traders raced to get ahead of the impending tariff threat. Other routes saw small declines. Bulk cargo rates fell another -7% last week to be less than half what they were a year ago and back to levels last seen in July 2023.Many mineral commodities are retreating in price in expectation 2025 will be tough, with copper down -2%.The UST 10yr yield is now at just on 4.59%, up a very sharp +19 bps from this time yesterday as markets digested the Fed's move and the deliberate mess being created by the incoming President.The price of gold will start today at US$2592/oz and down -US$42 from yesterday.Oil prices are down -US$2.50 to be just on US$69.50/bbl in the US while the international Brent price is now just under US$73.The Kiwi dollar starts today just on 56.5 USc and down -60 bps from yesterday. Against the Aussie we are down -40 bps to 90.3 AUc. Against the euro we are also down -10 bps to 54.5 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just on 67.1 to be down another -25 bps from yesterday at this time.The bitcoin price starts today at US$100,994 and down -3.1% from this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been high at +/- 3.1%.You can find links to the articles mentioned today in our show notes.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora.

The US presidential election is the most consequential taking place in the ‘year of democracy'. This special episode of Global Government Forum's Leading Questions podcast, taken from a webinar held on 19 November, looks at what public servants will be doing to prepare for the incoming presidential team led by President Donald Trump. In this podcast, webinar chair Siobhan Benita discusses the work that civil servants will be undertaking for the government transition with Jason Briefel, non-attorney partner and director of government and public affairs, Shaw Bransford & Roth, and Richard Johnstone, executive editor, Global Government Forum. Listen to this podcast to hear insight on what civil servants will be doing to prepare for a new president, the process of a presidential transition, and what the Department of Government Efficiency means for government. The conversation covers:   What the election result reveals about the public's priorities for government - particularly around trends like tackling inflation and immigration. How the result fits into international electoral trends. What happens in a government transition. How civil servants will be preparing for implementing Trump's priorities - introducing tariffs, deportation of illegal immigrants, reducing government spending. Key appointments that are made so far.   Mentioned in this episode: Japan looks to learn from Elon Musk's US government efficiency programme Read the US CIO study mentioned in this report Register now for Government Service Delivery – the new name for GovernmentDX Over the two days of May 13 – 14, 2025, the Government Service Delivery event program unites global digital government leaders to explore tech-driven innovation for delivering high-quality public services for customers.

Kia ora,Welcome to Wednesday'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.Today we lead with news dairy prices are still rising.We got an increase in dairy prices at the overnight GlobalDairyTrade auction from the prior event, but it was a small pullback from prices at last week's Pulse event. Overall prices were up +1.9% in USD terms, up +3.6% in NZD terms, so a good result. WMP let the rises with a +3.2% gain, but the main pullbacks were in the cheeses with cheddar down -3.1% and mozzarella down -6.6%. SMP rose +0.9% from the prior full event but was down -1.1% from last week's Pulse event.This is still a good result and will probably encourage some analysts to update their new season payout forecasts, just as BNZ analysts did last week. The possibility of a $10/kgMS payout is still in play after these results.Holding the WMP prices up is the unexpectedly sticky fall in Chinese milk production (due to low profitability) and a rather steep and unexpected fall in their WMP inventories. This will underpin WMP demand for a while and rising New Zealand production will bring a virtuous tone to the party as well.In the US, although the average American voter may have voted 'negative', they are acting 'positive' in their spending with the Redbook retail sales growth up +5.1% last week from the same week a year ago. And those sort of gains are what giant Walmart is racking up. (Presently, these gains are essentially volume gains. But of course, if the US gets aggressive tariffs, price rises will drive these numbers higher with inflation.)US housing starts hit a bump in the road in October, down -3.1% to just over a +1.3 mln starts (annualised rate), but the fall was because construction activity fell sharply in the South due to their hurricanes. Obviously that will recover soon for the same reason. But in the background it is generally challenging for house builders because mortgage interest rates are remaining high. Still, sales at a 1.3 mln is about average for 2024.A big question hangs over the US housing markets, both for new and used houses. The incoming Administration seems committed to quitting the two big institutions that make the market for 30 year fixed mortgages, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. They tried in the last Trump Administration and were thwarted by Congress, but they seem more determined this time. If that happens it will be an earthquake for housing finance in the US, and probably be the demise of their unique long-term fixed rates.September data released yesterday by the US Treasury shows a huge inflow of foreign funds into the US. There was +US$341 bln of private net flows in the month, plus another +US$57 bln by "official" (government) transactions. This is easily the largest single monthly inflow ever. (For reference, the US Federal Government deficit averaged -US$153 bln monthly in the year to September.)Canadian CPI inflation was up +2.0% in October, a blip up from September's +1.9%. Their food prices were up +2.7% within that, rents up +7.3%. But these were offset by much lower energy costs.After growing rather well in the April to August months, Malaysian export growth as pulled back in September and October with only modest changes. Malaysian import growth is pulling back too, but it this is still expanding at twice the export growth rate.In Hong Kong, the clampdowns on freedoms of expression are getting fiercer. And it is no longer 'legal' to mention Jimmy Lai, let along the umbrella freedom protests.And China is moving to make it an offense to operating in financial markets unless pricing is "rational".In India, they are again battling seasonal air pollution, and it is particularly bad this year, especially in the north.The UST 10yr yield is now at just on 4.39% and down -6 bps from yesterday at this time.The price of gold will start today at US$2623/oz and up another +US$13 from this time yesterday.Oil prices are little-changed, still at US$69/bbl in the US while the international Brent price is still just on US$73/bbl.The Kiwi dollar starts today at 59 USc and up +30 bps from this time yesterday. Against the Aussie we are unchanged at 90.5 AUc. Against the euro we up +20 bps at 55.8 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just over 68.6, and up another +10 bps from yesterday.The bitcoin price starts today at US$92,318 and up +0.3% from this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been modest at +/- 1.7%.You can find links to the articles mentioned today in our show notes.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora.

MURDERS IN THE FIRST DEGREEMEET THE AUTHOR Podcast: LIVE - Episode 182Originally aired LIVE Wednesday November 13 ,2024Featuring Authors JAMES CALLAN, KELLY MARSHALL & JINX SCHWARTZ.ABOUT JAMES: James R. Callan took a degree in English intent on writing. But when writing did not support a family, he returned to graduate school in mathematics. After graduate school, he worked at a research center for twelve years before he and his wife started a database company, which they ran for twenty-five years.After a successful career in mathematics and computer science, receiving grants from the National Science Foundation and NASA, and being listed in Who's Who in Computer Science and Two Thousand Notable Americans, (and all four of his kids graduated from college and self-supporting), James R. Callan turned to his first love—writing.ABOUT KELLY: I always thought I would communicate in the world as a writer. As a child I was a voracious reader and knew someday I would pen a great novel. Life sometimes takes left turns though, and I went to broadcasting school instead of a four-year college. I wanted to be the next Barbara Walters and make a million a year. That didn't happen, but I did spend thirty years having fun, spinning records, interviewing people, doing love song dedications. I had a ball until…The U.S. Congress passed The Telecommunications Act of 1996 allowing broadcast corporations to own multiple radio stations in one market. The gobbling began and soon behemoth broadcasting corporations ate up radio stations like locusts in a wheat field. And radio announcers like me were axed on bloody Fridays with surgical precision. I was working for a small radio station for chump change. Something had to give. I left radio, went to work for the US Federal Government, and in my private hours, began doing what I really loved. Writing.ABOUT JINX: USA TODAY BEST-SELLING AUTHOR, Jinx Schwartz is a ninth-generation Texan who lived and worked all over the planet before dropping from the corporate world to write and cruise.

In this episode, Jason discusses the impact of the Trump election and the government's sweep, emphasizing the need for change and the potential for increased prosperity. He highlights two major factors that will put upward pressure on home prices: the curtailment of immigration and the implementation of tariffs. Jason urges listeners to contact their investment counselor to buy properties before these changes become systemic. He also mentions the potential for a Fed pivot and the importance of acting sooner rather than later.  Then Jason welcomes professor David Collum as they discuss the recent political events, particularly the Republican victory in the US Federal Government. David expressed his disappointment with the Democratic party's handling of the election and their choice of candidates. He also shared his thoughts on the new administration, stating that he believes Trump will be a better president this time around, with a more efficient government and a dream team. David also expressed his desire for a clean sweep of pardons for those convicted during the previous administration. He also mentioned his concerns about Trump's financial policies and the potential for self-serving decisions. #TrumpAdministration #Inflation #FederalReserve #DebtCrisis #ReserveCurrency #BRICS #Deregulation #HousingMarket #AirbnbEconomy #InstitutionalInvestors #InterestRates #BondMarket #ChevronDeference #SupremeCourt #EconomicPolicy #GeopoliticalAlliances #RussiaUkraineWar #NATO #BitcoinPolicy #RealEstateInvesting Key Takeaways: Jason's editorial 1:31 It will take time for changes to take effect 2:52 Factors that will put massive pressure on home prices Got to jasonHartman.com and talk to your investment counsellor Follow Jason on social media: https://www.instagram.com/jasonhartman1 https://x.com/jasonhartmanROI 8:14 Clip of the day: Trump on free speech in America   David Collum's interview 14:59 David, it's been a while 16:12 Red wave and the Trump convictions 23:06 What to expect from a Trump presidency this time around 27:08 Financial policies- tariffs, inflation, unfunded liabilities and the BRICS 34:36 Weaponizing the US dollar 36:52 Deregulation and the housing market     Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

In July 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to land on the moon. In May 2020, in response to Covid-19, the US Federal Government initiated Operation Warp Speed to accelerate the development and distribution of vaccines, cutting what would otherwise be a ten-year timeline to within 1 year. In 1989, the Montreal Protocol was established to phase out the production of substances responsible for ozone depletion. What's common among these programs? Arindam Goswamy and Shreya Ramakrishnan discuss the compelling nature of ambitious programs to solve big social challenges, what sets mission-oriented policy projects apart, and takeaways for long-term policy change.

The lack of guidance from the US Federal Government on the cannabinoid industry poses significant challenges for those involved in the sector. The absence of clear regulations and leadership complicates business operations.In contrast, European countries are both legalizing cannabis and planning further legalization.

The lack of guidance from the US Federal Government on the cannabinoid industry poses significant challenges for those involved in the sector. The absence of clear regulations and leadership complicates business operations.In contrast, European countries are both legalizing cannabis and planning further legalization.

Frances Haugen is an advocate for accountability & transparency in social media. Born in Iowa City, Iowa, Frances is the daughter of two professors and grew up attending the Iowa caucuses with her parents, instilling a strong sense of pride in democracy and responsibility for civic participation. Frances holds a degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Olin College and a MBA from Harvard University. She is a specialist in algorithmic product management, having worked on ranking algorithms at Google, Pinterest, Yelp and Facebook. In 2019, she was recruited to Facebook to be the lead Product Manager on the Civic Misinformation team, which dealt with issues related to democracy and misinformation, and later also worked on counter-espionage. During her time at Facebook, Frances became increasingly alarmed by the choices the company makes prioritizing their own profits over public safety and putting people's lives at risk. As a last resort and at great personal risk, Frances made the courageous decision to blow the whistle on Facebook. The initial reporting was done by the Wall Street Journal in what became known as “The Facebook Files”. Since going public, Frances has testified in front of the US Congress, UK and EU Parliaments, the French Senate and National Assembly, and has engaged with lawmakers internationally on how to best address the negative externalities of social media platforms. Frances has filed a series of complaints with the US Federal Government relating to Facebook (now named ‘Meta') claiming that the company has been misleading the public and investors on how it handles issues such as climate change, misinformation, and hate speech, and the impact of its services on the mental health of children and young adults. Frances fundamentally believes that the problems we are facing today with social media are solvable, and is dedicated to uniting people around the world to bring about change. We can have social media that brings out the best in humanity.

He quickly landed recurring guest roles on the popular 90's shows, "Growing Pains" and "Tour of Duty", and then appeared in numerous television and movie roles over the next several decades. He directed the prescient films "Border" which screened for Congress in 2007, and "Death County and the River of Broken Dreams" that screened for Congress, in 2023. In 2021 he also directed Capitol Punishment: Everything They Told You About 16 Was A Lie, for which, he did not earn an Oscar, but did end up being investigated by the FBI as a national security threat to the United States of America after a big tip was called into the National Threat Operations Center.For over three years the Federal Government has waged a War On Truth. Now the truth fights back. Who really died on J6 and why is the Federal Government lying about it to this day? Who orchestrated and benefited by breaching the Capitol Building? Was J6 created to simply steal an election or was it the excuse for a larger war on America?The War On Truth takes us inside the reality of average Americans whose lives are being destroyed by the Deep State. The US Federal Government has weaponized the Department of Justice against its own citizens in order to protect a corrupt political class and preserve the status quo at any cost.

Who bombed Wall Street? Why was all the evidence swept away literally overnight? Trent Edwards and Steve Fait are joined by Scott Borden for a bombing-inspired improv set that may include a nitroglycerine chaser for meatloaf. Trent and Steve then interview history expert Randy Baker about what actually happened. Further Book Smarts Inspired By This Episode The Wall Street Bombing of 1920 rocked the financial district of Manhattan, New York City, on Sep. 16, 1920 at 12:01 p.m. Its investigation was handled by the predecessor to the FBI. John Pierpont “Jack” or “JP” Morgan Jr. (Sep. 7, 1867 – March 13, 1943) was heir to the JP Morgan fortune and head of JP Morgan & Co. after the death of his father in 1913. William Hammond Remick (Oct. 14, 1866 – March 9, 1922) was president of the New York Stock Exchange during the 1920 Wall Street bombing.  Mario Buda (Oct. 13, 1883 – June 1, 1963) was an Italian anarchist with the militant American Galleanists in the late 1910s.  The 1920 World Series was actually played three weeks after the Wall Street Bombing, with the Cleveland Indians beating the Brooklyn Robins. The Wall Street Panic of 1893, (May-Nov. 1893) included a run on currency, and closures of banks and businesses who didn't have cash to pay their workers. Laissez-faire Capitalism in American History — Laissez-faire capitalism, where the government plays a minimal role in the economy, dominated the Gilded Age. The US Federal Government was lax in its regulation of the stock market throughout the 1920s before the legendary crash of 1929. Before the stock market crash of 1929, stocks quadrupled in value during the 1920s. Congress gave women the right to vote in August, 1920, when it ratified the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution. The Progressive Era c. 1896–1917 featured widespread social activism and political reform across the US to combat corruption, monopoly, waste, and inefficiency.  Trust-busting — Trust-busting was meant to break the near monopolies of major corporations in the Gilded Age. By 1928, 24% of the nation's wealth was held by just 1% of the population. President Theodore Roosevelt earned the nickname of the Trust Buster President, initiating the era of Trust Busting by enforcing the Sherman Antitrust Act. In 2023, more than one-quarter of all household wealth, 26.5%, belonged to Americans who earn enough money to rank in the top percentile by income, according to Federal Reserve statistics through mid-2023. Anybody seen Teddy Roosevelt lately?

President Biden's reelection campaign is now on TikTok. The social media platform is banned by the US Federal Government on all government-issued devices, but, not on personal/political accounts like that of an election campaign.

The Headlines are everywhere: The Washington Post: "A Trump dictatorship is increasingly inevitable. We should stop pretending." The Nation: "This is How Trump Becomes a Dictator." The Guardian: "The US could be under a rightwing dictator." Vanity Fair: "Trump Makes it Clear He'd be an Out and Out Dictator if Reelected in 2024." The Atlantic, The New York Times, and, of course, TV News have all written and produced stories that lay out how Trump's people plan to Hijack our Republic and chang our form of Government from Democratic to Dictatorship. Today, some of Trump's allies pushed back on social media. Senator JD Vance wrote, "Everyone needs to take a chill pill." Those seven words aren't comforting when all you have to do is log on to the PROJECT 2025 website. You can find a visible step-by-step plan to reshape the executive branch of the US Federal Government if Republicans/Trump wins the Presidential Election. The plan includes consolidating the power now shared by three branches of Government into a stronger Executive Branch. Hmmm? Rewriting the Constitution to destroy "Separation of Powers?" It sounds very "Dictator-leaning" to me. For this Political Woman Podcast Episode, I share parts of the 6,000-word plus Opinion Essay by Robert Kagan. "A Trump dictatorship is increasingly inevitable. We should stop pretending." Please Subscribe. I'll have more information and links on gloriamoraga.com.

Happy Valentine's Day! Sam and Emma break down the biggest headlines of the day, running through updates on this weekend's mass shooting at Michigan State, the slowing consumer price increases, the revelations coming out of East Palestine, Biden nominating his 100th Federal Judge, Starbucks being punished for union busting, and Israel's protests over Netanyahu's abuses of the Judicial branch, before diving deeper into Nikki Haley's Presidential run. Next, they parse through the discourse around the Norfolk Southern train derailment in East Palestine, with the catastrophe coming just months out from the US Federal Government stepping in to break a freight rail strike, as US freight companies cut down on their workforce, making fewer people work longer hours on bigger trains, before Sam and Emma tackle the lobbying of the Trump Administration to reverse break requirements of freight lines, which further emphasized the externalized cost of freight rail deregulation. Shifting into an Ohio-specific lens, Sam and Emma walk through the responses of Governor DeWine and Senator JD Vance as they tiptoe around the severe regulatory and labor issues at hand, pointing their fingers at woke EPA policies and a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) that is still waiting for Ohio to actually request aid. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch Rep. Maxwell Frost absolutely nail his appearance on the House Oversight Committee, Biden nailing down the GOP on Social Security during the State of the Union and why we still can't trust them, and the GOP's bigoted and violent legislation against trans Americans. Patrick from Pelham Bay also walks through Brett Weinstein's most recent quackery promotion, Rin from California dives into the GOP's turn to fascism, and Hua from Raleigh talks about internal dysfunction and corruption at the EPA.
