Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In this episode, Tom sits down with entrepreneur and venture capitalist Joe Lonsdale for a thought-provoking conversation about American resilience, defense innovation, and the values shaping our future. Joe shares his journey from grappling with the ethics of building defense technology at Palantir to championing a new wave of patriot-driven innovation at Anduril. Together, Tom and Joe tackle tough questions—like the morality of maximum lethality, the changing threats facing the West, and how America can regain its competitive and cultural edge in a rapidly shifting world. Joe doesn't shy away from controversy, offering candid insights into the dangers of “suicidal empathy,” the rise of China, and why internal dysfunction poses as great a risk as any foreign adversary. They dig deep into how to instill a culture of excellence—both in business and government—discussing what it takes to bring back courage, merit, and strong leadership in institutions. Along the way, Joe draws on personal stories, shares lessons from leaders he admires, and explains why developing advanced manufacturing and AI are crucial to safeguarding the country's future.

Is Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) the next Democrat nominee for president? He and Glenn debate due process, border policy, deportation, and Trump. But they agree on the U.S. Constitution, Bill of Rights, nuclear energy, cuts to the defense budget, and revitalizing American manufacturing. Rep. Khanna contends that the “administrative state has played a constructive role” and explains why he is proud of the “Inflation Reduction Act” before questioning the impact of Elon Musk's efforts with the DOGE and laying out his plan to tackle U.S. debt, including taxing the billionaires in his own district, which includes Silicon Valley. Glenn is “pushing for Congress to take their power back,” and Ro Khanna hopes artificial intelligence will help “reindustrialize the country” to “help us lead against China.” While not reaching a consensus on topics like universal basic income,  shutting down USAID, or progressive economic reform, they both agree that “we need more conversations in this country.”      GLENN'S SPONSORS         Relief Factor               Relief Factor can help you live pain-free!

Josh Hammer is Senior Council at the Article III Project. Today he joins the show to discuss the judicial activism taking place within state and local jurisdictions. These Obama and Biden-era appointed judges are overstepping their reach and power to try and prevent the mandate the American people gave President Trump to fulfill. Judge Hannah Dugan literally tried to prevent ICE from arresting an illegal alien at her court for domestic abuse charges. Judge James Boasberg is demanding Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a citizen of El Salvador, to be returned to the U.S. Judge Amir Ali, a Biden appointee, has served in federal court for around 6 months and is already trying to reverse USAID payments that have been blocked by the Trump administration. Josh Hammer gives us expert insight on previous cases and how they were adjudicated. When looking at the Supreme Court, the Martin-Quinn score shows a liberal/conservative ideology scale in which our current Supreme Court judges rule. Even though 5 out of the 9 judges tend to judge in a Conservative fashion, Clarence Thomas is still the gold standard of Supreme Court judges.

The Seneca Park Zoo recently welcomed the first-ever North American river otters to be born at its facility. Leaders say it's a conservation success story that has been decades in the making. It comes at a time when a shift in federal priorities has affected environmental and wildlife protections: funding cuts to USAID and a funding freeze for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service have halted projects centered on animals facing various threats, including extinction. Can the local project serve as a model for continued conservation work, despite changes at the federal level? Our guests discuss it.

The State Department has released a reorganization plan that would usher in significant changes to the way the United States conducts its diplomacy and foreign assistance, at a time of considerable geopolitical change. Proposals by the Trump administration include eliminating or restructuring a number of the Department's longstanding functions, dissolving and/or folding USAID into State, and imposing large budget and staffing cuts. Debates over how to structure and optimize the State Department, and U.S. foreign assistance programs in particular, are nothing new. But important questions remain about these proposals—including how they may interact with Congressional prerogatives; their implications for the conduct of U.S. foreign policy amidst compounding global crises; and, ultimately, whether these changes may herald a more streamlined and effective bureaucracy or undermine U.S. diplomatic power.On May 14, 2025, the Reiss Center on Law and Security and Just Security convened an expert panel to consider these vitally important developments and to unpack what's happening, what's at stake, and what lies ahead. Show Notes: Dani Schulkin, Tess Bridgeman, and Andrew Miller's “What Just Happened: The Trump Administration's Reorganization of the State Department – and How We Got Here” Ambassador Daniel Fried's “The US Government's Self-Harm in Killing RFE/RL” and “Is the U.S. Abandoning the Fight Against Foreign Information Operations?” Hon.

Kesho ikiwa ni siku ya nyuki duniani ikimulika umuhimu wa nyuki tunakupeleka nchini Kenya, katika kijiji cha Embulmbul, ambapo mradi wa ufugaji nyuki uliofanikishwa na Shirika la Marekani la Misaada ya maendeleo, USAID, kwa kushirikiana na Idara ya Misitu ya Kenya, KFS na wadau wengine, umeleta tija kwa wenyeji. Mmoja wa wanufaika hao ni mwanamazingira Christopher Mureithi ambaye ni kiongozi wa kikundi cha kufuga nyuki katika msitu wa Ololua ambao wamefanikiwa sio tu kuboresha uzalishaji wa asali, bali pia kuchangia katika uhifadhi wa bioanuwai na misitu.

From the start of Donald Trump's second term, he's been eager to cut the federal workforce. So, Elon Musk headed the newly minted DOGE to begin slashing tens of thousands of jobs.Our friend, Michael Lewis, author of "The Big Short" and, most recently, "Who is Government?," joins us to share stories of public servants who not only improved this country but have saved countless lives. Those improvements and breakthroughs could only have happened through the power and effectiveness of a strong government. Lewis warns of the long-term consequences of dismantling agencies like USAID and removing oversight mechanisms. The public might not immediately feel these impacts, but the results will eventually be catastrophic, particularly for vulnerable populations worldwide. Lewis explains that DOGE was never about fraud, waste, and abuse. It's always been about ideology, power, and money.

We assess the damage to independent journalism globally by cuts to USAGM and USAID, described as “the chainsaw approach” of the Trump administration. The defunding of Voice of America, RFE/RL (Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty) and its multiple language services has been decried as “a gift to dictators”. Although these cuts are being disputed in court, they could have long-lasting implications for audiences around the world. Can the harm be undone?Producer: Kriszta Satori Presenter: Krassi Twigg Contributors: Pascal Fletcher, Samia Hosny, Margaryta Maliukova, Andrey Vladov, Tom Lam, Sarbas Nazari, Moses Rono

In this episode of On Human Rights, we speak with Yalda Bari, a human rights advocate and expert in women's economic empowerment from Afghanistan. Yalda holds a Master's in International Economics from the Berlin School of Economics and Law and brings over seven years of experience with organisations such as GIZ, ILO, and USAID, where she worked to support Afghan women's access to the job market and build women-led businesses. She is also the founder of Bari Search Path, a company dedicated to empowering Afghan women through employment support and training. As a fellow at the Raoul Wallenberg Institute, Yalda is conducting research on the challenges faced by women-led businesses inside Afghanistan under the current political regime. Her work aims to document women's on-the-ground experiences and develop policy recommendations that can sustain and expand opportunities for financial independence in a deeply restrictive environment. “Businesses [are] an area of hope... they can still do activities from home. We need to address the challenges they're facing and support them to make the best out of this little opportunity.” In this conversation, Yalda shares insights from her research, the resilience of Afghan women, and the importance of listening to voices that are often left out of international discussions.

Three months after the Trump administration made drastic cuts to its aid agency, USAID, the effects are being felt across the world, particularly in Africa. In this episode we speak to Bright Simons, an African aid expert and visiting senior fellow at ODI Global about where the decimation of US aid leaves the debate about the future of development assistance.This episode of The Conversation Weekly was written and produced by Mend Mariwany and Gemma Ware.

Take a step back in time (early 2025) diving into the dismantling of USAID, where Elon Musk's DOGE team discovered billions in taxpayer dollars funding everything from gender transitions for lab rats to terrorist organizations. The hosts explore how this government "aid" agency operated like a slush fund for woke agenda items abroad while bureaucrats ran interference against congressional oversight. Plus, Trump's compelling plan to transform the Gaza Strip into the "Riviera of the Middle East" under American ownership, complete with resort development and Palestinian relocation. Now that's thinking outside the box! Don't miss this no-holds-barred dissection of bureaucratic waste and presidential ambition.

Tonight on The Last Word: The stock market jumps after Donald Trump lowered China tariffs. Also, Trump wants to accept a $400M plane from Qatar. Plus, Bill Gates continues to call out Elon Musk over with USAID cuts. And NBC News reports the Trump administration has spent at least $21M flying migrants to Guantanamo Bay. Rick Woldenberg, Ben Rhodes, Andrew Weissmann, and Courtney Kube join Lawrence O'Donnell.

Amid the big news that the Vatican has elected an American as Pope, another trending story is Bill Gates's apparent issue with Elon Musk. The "other" billionaire expressed his disgust with Musk's role in shuttering the U.S. Agency for International Development, saying that “the world's richest man” was “killing the world's poorest children.” This is hypocrisy, as Bill Gates benefits from the NGO Deep State soup that USAID is a part of. Not only is this phony philanthropist creating toxic GMO foods, providing poisonous vaccines for children in third world countries, but he's also funding geoengineering technology to dim the sun through "chemtrails."

In the one-hundred-and-seventy-fourth episode, we explore the Furtive Fallacy, starting with Trump blaming protests on George Soros, lying about USAID, and claiming the 2020 election was stolen from him.In Mark's British Politics Corner, we look at Nadine Dorries implying various behind-the-scenes shenanigans in the Tory Party.In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Cheers, So I Married an Axe Murderer, and Randy Quaid.Jim and Mark go head to head in Fake News, the game in which Mark has to guess which one of three Trump quotes Jim made up.Then we talk about Americans' opinions on Trump's first 100 days.And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.The full show notes for this episode can be found at https://fallacioustrump.com/ft174 You can contact the guys at pod@fallacioustrump.com, on BlueSky @FallaciousTrump, Discord at fallacioustrump.com/discord or facebook at facebook.com/groups/fallacioustrumpAnd you can buy our T-shirts here: https://fallacioustrump.com/teeCreate your podcast today! #madeonzencastrSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/fallacious-trump/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

It's very possible I'm just becoming numb to the relentless cruelty and bad decisions happening in our country but the news about the National Endowment for the Arts didn't bother me nearly as much as I would have thought. Maybe if it had happened first? Like, before USAID and before all the “deportations” that are really kidnappings and before all the privacy violations and before all the flagrant attacks on the First Amendment, maybe I'd be more upset. But when the news broke about the National Endowment for the Arts (The NEA) revoking funding it had previously granted, I didn't feel nearly as bad as I felt I should. It is awful, of course. Many arts organizations were counting on that funding to do their shows, implement their programs, pay their artists, continue their missions. It is genuinely terrible, of course! That's money the Federal government promised them and then pulled away like a governmental Lucy, yanking the football out from under Charlie Brown.

Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – These NGOs spend just enough (typically around 3% of their USAID funding) on their supposed mission to avoid legal scrutiny. A little goes to overhead, although they have little overhead as they don't really do anything. The rest of the money goes to the salaries and bonuses of the politicians, family members, and friends these NGOs employ...

Even though New Jersey freshman Senator Andy Kim has already served three terms in the House of Representatives, he still primarily sees himself as a life-long public servant rather than a politician. Prior to becoming a member of Congress, Kim served at USAID, the Pentagon, the State Department, the White House National Security Council, and in Afghanistan as an advisor to Generals Petraeus and Allen. The proud son of South Korean immigrants, Senator Kim also has the distinction of being the first Asian American that New Jersey has elected to the Senate, and the first American of Korean ancestry to be a senator. Many people in the world first came to know about him when a photo of him cleaning up the Rotunda of the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, went viral.

This week: The UK and the US agreed to the framework for a trade deal. Felix Salmon, Emily Peck, and Elizabeth Spiers discuss the details of the agreement and what it means that it includes keeping the 10% baseline tariffs staying in place. Then, Bill Gates has announced that he's winding down the Gates Foundation and doubling the money he's giving away. The hosts discuss how this is a reaction to Elon Musk's slashing of USAID and the state of billionaire philanthropy.

Supreme Court Decision on Transgender Military Ban: The Supreme Court allowed President Trump's ban on transgender individuals serving in the military to go into effect with a 6-3 decision. This policy bars individuals with gender dysphoria or those who have undergone gender transition from serving. The decision was seen as a victory for Trump, emphasizing a focus on military readiness and cohesion over social experiments. We emphasize that the military's primary role is to defend the country, not to serve as a platform for social issues. USAID Corruption: The podcast discusses a case of corruption involving a USAID official who steered contracts to a friend in exchange for secret payments. The official, Matthew Zahui, refused to allow auditors access to financial records, which raised suspicions. It was later discovered that he had directed contracts worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to a friend's company, which then made payments to his personal bank account. We highlight the lack of accountability and the need for serious investigations and prosecutions in such cases. Defunding NPR: The podcast supports President Trump's efforts to defund NPR (National Public Radio), arguing that it is a partisan propaganda outlet. It provides examples of NPR's content that the authors find objectionable, such as stories on cannibalism, criticisms of the Declaration of Independence, and coverage of LGBTQ+ issues. We also argue that taxpayer money should not fund media outlets that promote a radical agenda. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
