John welcomes Washington Post tech culture reporter Nitasha Tiku to discuss this mind-blowing, deeply unnerving moment in the evolution of AI. Tiku explains the genesis of the fears that the systems being developed by the AI frontier labs could ultimately end the human race; how AI extinction scenarios migrated from fringe Bay Area subcultures into the labs themselves, then into elite institutions, and now to the center of the mainstream political and cultural discourse; how the labs are confronting the ethical and moral implications of what they're building; and why, when it comes to the debate over AI regulation, we should focus less on what industry leaders are saying and more on what they're doing.

Theobros are a new genre of Internet influencer who discuss theology on podcasts. They have been gaining an online following by saying the Bible supports their segregationist and antisemitic views. Bob Smietana from Religion News Service reported on these Theobros, and spoke to The Bulletin about their beliefs. Then, as the mid-term elections approach, we discuss the phenomenon of pastors, seminarians and former clergy running as Democratic candidates. We re-air a conversation with Mockingcast's David Zahl, diving specifically into the rise of Texas's Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico. Lastly, Charlie Sykes and Russell Moore discuss how to interpret polling data around the 2028 election, if they think JD Vance or Marco Rubio is more likely to become the Republican candidate, and what to value when thinking about who to vote for.

Episode SummaryIn this episode of Million Dollar Flip Flops, Rodric sits down with six-time entrepreneur, journalist, storyteller, and founder of YBYS Dan Grech for a powerful conversation about why your personal story may be one of the most valuable assets in your business.Dan shares a journey that started with selling Blow Pops at 14 and eventually led to six entrepreneurial ventures, two exits, spectacular failures, and a 15-year journalism career that included work with NPR, PBS, The Miami Herald, and The Washington Post. Today, he combines those worlds through YBYS—Your Business Is Your Story—and his upcoming book of the same name.Dan explains why the experiences that shaped you long before you became an entrepreneur continue to influence how you lead, sell, hire, and build. Instead of hiding those experiences behind polished corporate language, he argues that entrepreneurs can turn authentic stories into magnets for the right customers, employees, and opportunities.The conversation dives into authenticity, values, childhood imprints, shadow work, purpose, ethical leadership, and why being polarizing can actually strengthen a brand. Rodric and Dan also explore why business is deeply personal—and why companies that understand and communicate their true story can build greater trust in an increasingly AI-driven world.In This Episode, You'll LearnWhy your personal story can become a serious business assetHow childhood experiences influence the entrepreneur you becomeWhy young founders shouldn't hide behind corporate languageHow authenticity attracts the right customers and repels the wrong onesWhy values matter more than demographics when defining your ideal clientHow your “shadow” can influence the business you buildThe difference between dark energy and light energy in entrepreneurshipHow storytelling can improve hiring, sales, marketing, and company cultureWhy ethical business decisions are always personalHow to uncover the story already driving your businessWhy authenticity becomes even more valuable in the age of AIHighlights & Timestamps[00:00] Childhood imprints become business magnetsDan opens with the idea that early experiences continue playing out in adulthood—and once understood and articulated, they can become powerful magnets for the right people.[01:00] Meet Dan GretchDan introduces YBYS—Your Business Is Your Story—and shares his background as a six-time entrepreneur, journalist, and storyteller.[02:00] The Blow Pop entrepreneurDan shares how selling Blow Pops at 14 made him the “richest poor kid” at his high school and planted an early entrepreneurial seed.[03:00] Connecting the dots backwardDan explains how childhood experiences often reveal why we build the businesses we build today.[04:00] Entrepreneurship and an abundance mindsetRodric and Dan reflect on growing up without much money while learning early that they could create income themselves.[05:00] When money becomes a game instead of survivalRodric explains why he continues building businesses even though money itself is no longer the primary motivation.[07:00] Why entrepreneurs hide their personalitiesDan explains why founders often use corporate language to mask insecurity or inexperience—and why that usually backfires.[08:00] Your story is proofFor an early-stage company without much history, Dan argues that the founder's personal story can show customers and investors why they won't quit.[09:00] Being polarizing is good businessRodric and Dan discuss why strong brands should attract some people and repel others.[10:00] Values over demographicsDan explains why an ideal customer profile should go deeper than age, income, and location to include shared values.[11:00] Business is personalDan pushes back against the idea that “it's just business,” arguing that business decisions reveal character.[13:00] Would your future self respect your decisions?The conversation turns to money, ethics, and whether financial success is worth decisions you'll eventually regret.[14:00] You can't separate yourself from your businessRodric shares the story of a coaching client who wanted business results without confronting the personal patterns influencing his company.[15:00] Storytelling isn't therapy—it's strategyDan explains that uncovering your story can have therapeutic value, but its business purpose is growth, alignment, and attracting the right people.[16:00] Your shadow is already running part of the businessDan discusses how unconscious fears and narratives can shape the companies entrepreneurs build.[17:00] Light energy vs. dark energyDan explains how fear, wounds, and proving people wrong can create short bursts of entrepreneurial energy, while mission, family, and legacy provide sustainable fuel.[18:00] Signs your business is missing its storyBad-fit employees, price-shopping customers, inconsistent sales messaging, and resentment toward your clients may signal that your purpose and values aren't being communicated.[19:00] How to uncover your business storyDan recommends starting with one deceptively simple question: Why do I do this work, and why does it matter so much to me?[21:00] Authentic story vs. marketing gimmicksDan explains why authentic storytelling is different from branding tactics that can easily be copied.[22:00] Why Rodric chose coachingThe conversation turns toward Rodric's own story and his desire to help good business owners grow and win.[24:00] Generations of coachingDan and Rodric connect their present work to influential parents, grandparents, and sports coaches from earlier in their lives.[25:00] Authenticity in the age of AIDan explains why authentic human stories become more valuable as AI-generated content and curated social media make communication feel increasingly artificial.[26:00] The trust-gap economyRodric explains why real faces, real voices, and authentic video can be particularly powerful in industries like construction.[27:00] An ethical responsibility to growDan argues that great businesses have a responsibility to scale because every customer they don't serve may end up with a bad actor instead.[28:00] The story behind the companyDan shares an example of a construction company whose founders had a powerful personal story that wasn't initially visible anywhere in their marketing.[29:00] The Story DiamondDan explains that authenticity doesn't mean dumping every detail of your life online. Great stories are polished by choosing the right details for the right audience and purpose.Notable Quotes“Your personal story is a business asset.” – Dan Grech“Those imprints from your early childhood end up playing out in ways that aren't always visible.” – Dan Gretch“If you're authentic and they don't like it, good.

The “Make America Healthy Again” movement held a big shindig in Washington, D.C., this week. But rather than moms arguing to get pesticides and processing chemicals out of their kids' food, the room was full of Trump administration officials and industry representatives looking to promote health-related products. Meanwhile, as the fiscal year ends, the administration for the second year in a row is refusing to spend money Congress appropriated — and basically daring the other two branches of government to stop it. Rachel Roubein of The Washington Post, Shefali Luthra of The 19th, and Rachana Pradhan of KFF Health News join KFF Health News' Julie Rovner to discuss these stories and more. Also this week, Rovner interviews Aaron Carroll, president and CEO of AcademyHealth, to discuss the Trump administration's dismantling of the federal Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.  Visit our website to read a transcript of this episode.Plus, for “extra credit” the panelists suggest health policy stories they read this week that they think you should read, too: Julie Rovner: The New York Times' “U. of Michigan Halts New Grading Plan After Backlash From Critics,” by Madaleine Rubin.  Shefali Luthra: The Atlantic's “The Babies Left Behind in America,” by Caitlin Dickerson.  Rachana Pradhan: KFF Health News' “US Poised To Boot Legal Immigrants From Medicaid, Including Refugees and Sex-Trafficking Victims,” by Phil Galewitz, Andrew Jones, and Claudia Boyd-Barrett.  Rachel Roubein: Stat's “Once Described as Obesity Medicines for ‘Patients,' GLP-1s Are Increasingly Lifestyle Drugs for ‘Customers,'” by Elaine Chen.

« Les passagers du vol Flydubai sont rentrés chez eux sains et saufs, et c'est tout ce qui compte pour le moment. Dieu merci ! », s'exclame le Jerusalem Post. L'appareil reliait Dubaï à Tel-Aviv hier. À son bord, 174 passagers, dont 166 israéliens. « L'avion survolait l'Arabie saoudite, environ une heure avant son arrivée prévue en Israël, relate Libération à Paris, lorsqu'il a brusquement perdu de l'altitude : une descente de 4900 mètres en moins de deux minutes. Le signal de détresse de l'appareil a ensuite été activé, suivi quelques minutes plus tard d'un code signalant un possible détournement. L'avion s'est dirigé vers la Jordanie, dont il a survolé le territoire, avant de faire demi-tour vers l'Arabie saoudite et de se poser dans le nord-ouest du pays ». « Ça a commencé à chuter comme s'il y avait des turbulences, mais de façon incontrôlable. Vingt, trente secondes de chute libre vertigineuse », raconte un passager au Wall Street Journal. « Ce que ce passager ne pouvait pas voir depuis son siège au rang 20, pointe le journal, c'est la lutte acharnée qui se déroulait à l'avant de l'appareil. Peu auparavant, le copilote avait poignardé le commandant de bord, qui s'était défendu et qui avait pu ouvrir la porte du cockpit. Voyant l'agitation, un petit groupe de passagers s'est précipité à l'avant pour reprendre le contrôle de l'avion. » Bagarre dans le cockpit… Parmi ces passagers, « un dentiste, un plombier, et deux autres pilotes », rapporte le Guardian à Londres. « Le commandant de bord, Smitt Machchhar, citoyen indien, était allongé sur le sol, couvert de sang. Il a pourtant réussi à actionner le mécanisme d'ouverture de la porte du cockpit, permettant ainsi aux passagers d'entrer, de maîtriser son agresseur et de sauver les 174 passagers à bord ». Parmi les sauveteurs, donc, un plombier qui a tiré sur le manche pour redresser l'appareil ; deux pilotes de relève qui se trouvaient heureusement dans l'avion, et qui ont pris alors les commandes et qui ont pu poser l'appareil. Et un dentiste qui a donné les premiers soins au commandant de bord grièvement blessé. Commentaire du Jerusalem Post : « Aucun de ces passagers n'avait embarqué à bord de ce vol en s'attendant à se retrouver au cœur d'une lutte à mort. Pourtant, lorsque le moment fatidique est arrivé, ils ont agi. Leur courage, leur sang-froid et leur volonté de se mettre en danger pour protéger tous les autres passagers méritent un immense respect. » Attentat terroriste ? Alors qui est l'agresseur ? « Le copilote qui a poignardé le commandant de bord était de nationalité omanaise », rapporte le Washington Post, qui cite une source sécuritaire israélienne. Le Post qui précise que pourtant, « seuls les pilotes de pays entretenant des relations diplomatiques avec Israël – ce qui n'est pas le cas d'Oman – sont autorisés à faire atterrir un avion sur le territoire israélien ». Ce copilote omanais avait-il l'intention de faire chuter l'appareil et de s'écraser ? S'agit-il d'une tentative d'attentat terroriste ? « L'enquête doit déterminer précisément comment cette attaque a été possible, pointe le Jerusalem Post, si les procédures de sécurité ont failli, si des signaux d'alerte ont été ignorés et quels changements sont nécessaires pour éviter qu'un tel incident ne se reproduise. » Contexte tendu… Pour sa part, Le Monde à Paris rappelle que « l'État hébreu avait connu, dans les années 1960 et 70, une série de détournements et d'attaques commises par des Palestiniens contre des avions de sa compagnie nationale, El Al, ou d'autres compagnies transportant des Israéliens. L'incident du vol du Flydubai intervient dans un contexte particulièrement tendu à la fois sur le plan sécuritaire et politique, relève le journal. Benyamin Netanyahu avait mis en garde, la veille, contre des attaques éventuelles avant les élections législatives prévues pour le 27 octobre. "Nous avons des indices selon lesquels, avant les élections, nos ennemis tenteront de nous attaquer", avait-il dévoilé dans une vidéo tournée sur une base aérienne militaire ». De ce fait, le quotidien israélien d'opposition Haaretz s'interroge : « Si Netanyahu disposait de renseignements indiquant une attaque imminente, qu'a fait son gouvernement pour l'empêcher ? S'il y avait un avertissement crédible, pourquoi Netanyahu, pourquoi le ministre de la Défense Israel Katz, pourquoi le ministre des Transports ou les responsables des services de sécurité israéliens n'ont-ils pas ordonné un renforcement des contrôles de sécurité, revu les procédures, suspendu les vols si nécessaire ou averti les Émiratis ? (…) À l'approche des élections du 27 octobre, conclut Haaretz, Netanyahu semble de plus en plus déterminé à instrumentaliser les menaces sécuritaires à des fins politiques. »

What does it really mean to speak up—and what happens when telling the truth comes at a cost?In this special episode of Psychologists Off the Clock, Jill Stoddard and Yael introduce Jill's powerful new podcast, We the Sunlight, a show about the brave act of speaking up in a culture that too often rewards silence. Then, listeners get an exclusive preview of the first episode, featuring Jules Bindi, one of the first women to publicly share that she was sexually assaulted by Harvey Weinstein before the #MeToo movement began.Jules shares her story—from growing up surrounded by trauma and abuse to building a successful career as a massage therapist to Hollywood's elite. She describes the grooming, manipulation, and sexual assaults she experienced at the hands of one of the most powerful men in the entertainment industry, as well as the complicated question that haunted her afterward: Why did she go back?Together, Jill and Jules explore the complex survival responses that can make victims blame themselves, including fawning, appeasing, and attempting to maintain safety in the face of overwhelming power. Jules also shares what finally helped her come forward, what she feared would happen if she spoke publicly, and why she ultimately decided that staying silent came at too high a cost.You'll hear about shame, self-forgiveness, post-traumatic growth, and the complicated reality of speaking truth to power. Most importantly, Jules offers a powerful message to anyone considering whether to come forward—and to those who have already spoken up and are living with the consequences.Join us for this moving introduction to We the Sunlight and the story of one woman who discovered that courage doesn't mean speaking without fear. Sometimes, it means deciding that something matters more than staying silent.Listen and Learn:The story behind Jill's new podcast, We the Sunlight, and how her own experience speaking publicly about a family member who caused harm inspired her to create a show centered on truth-tellingWhy speaking up can be both deeply meaningful and incredibly costly—and how people weigh the potential consequences before deciding whether to come forwardJules Bindi's journey from a childhood shaped by abuse and trauma to becoming a successful massage therapist with high-profile celebrity clientsHow Harvey Weinstein used power, praise, promises, and manipulation to groom Jules and exploit the enormous power imbalance between themWhy survivors may continue contact with or return to someone who has harmed them—and how survival responses such as fawning and appeasing can complicate our understanding of traumaWhy asking, “Why did they go back?” can fuel shame and self-blame when survivors are already struggling to understand their own responsesHow fear of retaliation, public scrutiny, victim-blaming, and professional consequences can make speaking out against a powerful person feel nearly impossibleWhat ultimately motivated Jules to come forward publicly and later participate in the legal case against WeinsteinHow becoming a mother helped Jules reconsider what she would want her own daughter to do if she were ever harmedWhy Jules says she experienced fewer negative consequences from speaking up than she expected—and how speaking publicly allowed her to put down some of the weight she had carried in silenceThe difference between taking responsibility for someone else's harmful actions and finding meaning in the ways we choose to respond afterwardHow Jules has transformed her experiences into advocacy, supporting other survivors and teaching children about bodily autonomy and personal boundariesWhy self-forgiveness can be one of the most difficult—and meaningful—parts of healingWhat to consider if you are wrestling with whether to speak up, including the question of what it may cost you to stay silentJules' message to those already living through the difficult aftermath of coming forward: celebrate your courage, care for yourself, and remember that the intensity of the moment will not last foreverWhy all of us can support survivors by resisting the urge to judge, question, or shame them for the ways they responded to traumaResources:We the Sunlight podcastJules Bindey / EQ Kid BooksMy Body, My Rules by Jules BindiThe Harmony Hills children's book seriesAsk Before Touching MeIt's Okay for Me to Say NoAbout Jules Bindi:Jules Bindi is an entrepreneur, emotional intelligence advocate, author, and storyteller dedicated to helping people heal, develop stronger boundaries, and use their voices.After experiencing sexual assault by Harvey Weinstein, Jules eventually became one of the first women to publicly share her story before the #MeToo movement gained widespread momentum. Her decision to come forward was motivated not only by her own experience, but by a desire to support other survivors and help create greater accountability for people who abuse their power.Today, Jules works with survivors who are navigating the difficult process of reporting abuse and coming forward. She also teaches children about bodily autonomy, boundaries, and emotional intelligence through her children's publishing company, EQ Kid Books.She is the author of My Body, My Rules and the creator of The Harmony Hills series, which helps children learn that they have ownership over their bodies and the right to set boundaries and say no.About Jill Stoddard:Dr. Jill Stoddard is passionate about providing clients, audiences, and readers with transformative experiences that are based in the latest psychological science but translate to everyday skills for flourishing at work and in life. She is an international and TEDx speaker, award-winning former professor, three-time book author, entrepreneur, licensed psychologist, coach, and professional podcaster.

Her latest passion project, We the Sunlight, offers a platform for truthtellers to shine a light on crime. Her books have been translated into more than a dozen languages and include: The Big Book of ACT Metaphors; Be Mighty; and Imposter No More. She is a standing-ovation-commanding speaker (ok, that's only happened twice so far, but it's her goal for every talk!). She regularly appears on podcasts and as an expert source for various tv and print media outlets. She has written for or been quoted in Time, the Washington Post, New York Times, Woman's World, Today.com, Psychology Today, The San Diego Union Tribune, The Boston Globe and more. Her work centers on the simple but powerful belief that discomfort isn't a sign that something's gone wrong, it's a sign you're right where you are meant to be -- at the intersection of caring and challenge. She lives in Newburyport, MA with her husband, two kids, and disobedient French Bulldog. About We the Sunlight:What happens when you risk everything to tell the truth?We the Sunlight is a podcast about the brave act of speaking up in a culture that too often rewards silence. From whistleblowers to victims of crime to people intimately connected to those who have caused harm, each episode features raw, personal stories from people who faced high stakes to speak their truth.Guests share why they came forward, what they considered before speaking up, what it cost them, whether they regret their decision, and how radical transparency became part of their healing. The show is grounded in the belief that truth can illuminate, stories can heal, and—as the saying goes—sunlight is the best disinfectant. We just shouldn't have to shine it alone.Related Episodes:19.

What does it take to stay optimistic when life is difficult, uncertain, or simply not going according to plan? Kevin sits down with Michelle Gielan to explore the science of resilient optimism.

Michelle explains how resilient optimism combines a realistic view of challenges with the belief that our actions can make a difference. Michelle also shares practical strategies for triaging commitments based on impact rather than urgency, creating opportunities to truly recharge, and developing a simple "best moments" practice that trains the brain to notice progress and possibility.

What happens when the most painful chapter of your life becomes material for comedy — and then grows into a play about love?Playwright and bestselling author Robin Gerber joins Bret to discuss The Best Medicine, her funny and openhearted new solo show starring Caroline Aaron of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.The play began in an unlikely place: a ten-week stand-up comedy workshop that Robin and Bret took with comedian Cary Odes. For their final assignment, each participant developed and performed eight minutes of original comedy. Robin drew hers from caring for her husband after he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Those eight minutes became the germ — and emotional heart — of a play about marriage, caregiving, loss, purpose and enduring love.Robin also talks about her journey from attorney and labor organizer to bestselling author and playwright, as well as The Shot, her acclaimed play about Washington Post publisher Katharine Graham, starring Sharon Lawrence.The Best Medicine, directed by Jane E. Unger, opens October 10 at the Odyssey Theatre in Los Angeles and runs through November 15, 2026.Tickets and information: https://odysseytheatre.com/whats-on/the-best-medicine/

What if the pain, fatigue, and difficulty you're feeling right now isn't a sign that something's wrong — but proof you're doing it right?

Can AI actually be conscious and why are some of the biggest AI companies in Silicon Valley pushing this idea?SUPPORT MY WORK: Buy a paid subscription to my newsletter at https://www.usermag.co         Support my work on Patreon: http://patreon.com/taylorlorenzIn this episode of Power User, I talk with Washington Post tech reporter Nitasha Tiku about the growing push inside companies like Anthropic, Google, Meta, and OpenAI to study AI consciousness, model welfare, digital minds, and whether systems like Claude could ever experience emotions or suffering. We discuss Anthropic's research into Claude's preferences, emotions, and introspection, the rise of the AI welfare movement, Silicon Valley's fascination with machine consciousness, and why executives are increasingly talking publicly about the possibility that AI systems could have an inner life. But there are much bigger questions at stake. What happens if society begins treating AI systems as people? Could chatbots eventually receive rights or legal personhood? Could companies use the idea of AI agency to avoid responsibility for what their products do? And what does all of this mean when people are already forming intense emotional relationships with chatbots and sometimes believing that their AI is sentient?We also unpack the history of the idea of conscious machines, from Alan Turing and ELIZA to modern AI safety culture, effective altruism, Anthropic, Claude, ChatGPT, AI psychosis, robot rights, AI personhood, and the increasingly blurry line between software that sounds human and something people believe actually is human.#AI #Anthropic #Claude #ArtificialIntelligence #OpenAI #ChatGPT #SiliconValley #Tech

Did the media really uncover the truth about Watergate — or did it help bury it? Today on The Amber May Show, Amber is joined by John O'Connor, attorney, legal analyst, and author of Postgate, to take a hard look at one of the biggest political scandals in American history. Most Americans were taught that The Washington Post and Deep Throat helped expose Watergate and bring down President Nixon. But O'Connor says that story is far from complete. According to Postgate, the Washington Post did not simply report the truth — it redirected it. O'Connor argues the paper betrayed Deep Throat, obscured key facts, and helped create a journalistic smoke screen that kept the public from seeing the full picture. He says the conventional Watergate narrative was shaped not just by political wrongdoing, but by media misdirection. Was Deep Throat used? Did the press distort the story? And did the Washington Post help build the very model for today's partisan advocacy journalism? This is a powerful conversation about betrayal, cover-ups, media deception, and the real truth behind Watergate.

Rachel Maddow shares new reporting that in the midst of elevated threats from Iran and its allies, Kash Patel demoted two top counterterrorism officials for not being adequately attentive to Stephen Miller's wife after she got harassing phone calls, even though the calls were not terrorism-related. And in the wake of Kash Patel's personal e-mail being hacked, the FBI suffered a massive hack of the personal information of employees, raising even more questions about Patel's ability to keep American safe in an increasingly threatening environment. Rachel Maddow shares new reporting from the Washington Post that the U.S. and Russia have agreed to remove some of the safety measures that placed human oversight between artificial intelligence and military weapons systems. The deal comes in the context of other examples of Trump eschewing American values and interests in order to ingratiate himself with the world's dictators.Ted Boutrous, a First Amendment lawyer who represents Rachel Maddow but is also representing MS NOW, CNN and Politico, talks with Rachel about progress in the lawsuit against Donald Trump's ban of some members of the news media from the White House.David Corn, investigative reporter for Mother Jones talks with Rachel Maddow about being targeted by Russia with weird, false, deepfake propaganda videos after the publication of his book on Russian interference in politics in the United States.

Jack Smith was on Capitol Hill today and his lying started with his opening statement! New revelations show that Smith committed REAL crimes! Former Smith's illegal investigation obtained records that included communications between nearly 50 journalists and officials from the first Trump administration. The material reportedly came from a subpoena covering records associated with 87 White House phones and included journalists from major outlets such as Fox News, CNN, CBS, NBC, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, Reuters and the Associated Press. Senate Judiciary Republicans also say investigators obtained nearly 5,000 checks from people who donated to Trump or Trump-aligned groups. Those checks contained personal and financial information belonging to donors across all 50 states, and lawmakers say additional subpoena returns could contain even more. The records and checks reportedly span activity between September 2019 and August 2023.Sponsor:My PillowWww.MyPillow.com/johnPromo code 'john' at checkout for up to 67% off in savings on ALL products!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Cuts to federal funding have made headlines for months. But what actually happens to nonprofits when that government money dries up? Professor Claire Dunning explains how federal funding helped build the modern nonprofit sector, why this money has long felt invisible, and how public and private funding have become so intertwined. She explores the ways in which philanthropy can shape nonprofits' priorities and influence which policy ideas get funded — and what that means for the people and communities nonprofits serve.

His co-author was Andrew Ba Tran. The dateline on the story was San Diego. The first paragraph of the story was: "At Blue Star Learning, a vocational school that defrauded taxpayers of $29 million in GI Bill funds, learning was not the point." Craig Whitlock, 28-year Washington Post veteran, was a gust on Booknotes+ in both 2021 and 2024, the first time for his book "The Afghanistan Papers" and the second about his book "Fat Leonard," about a Malaysian man now serving a 15-year prison sentence for defrauding the U.S. Navy.

Following the Challenger and Columbia Space Shuttle disasters, the government had to rethink space exploration. In 2006, NASA launched the Commercial Orbital Transportation Services program, allocating $500 million to encourage American entrepreneurs to develop cost-effective cargo and crew transport for the ISS. Today, private enterprises like SpaceX, Starlink, Blue Origin, and Rocket Lab are ubiquitous. Yet none of this progress would be possible without substantial government assistance.Joining us is Casey Dreier, Chief of Space Policy at The Planetary Society and one of the world's foremost experts on NASA's budget and the political economy of space exploration. His data-driven analysis has been cited by The New York Times, POLITICO, The Washington Post, and NPR, and in 2025 he received a SpaceNews Icon Award for his work. Casey joins us to unpack what the data actually shows about the tradeoffs of commercial spaceflight — and what's at stake if the government cedes too much control.The government gets a bad rap. But the roads under your feet, the forecast on your phone, and the letter in your mailbox are all government too. Hosted by Professors Greg Jackson and Lindsey Cormack, Government That Doesn't Suck is a seriously researched, fact-driven podcast examining the dreams, machinery, and real-world impact behind American government, one episode at a time.

Michelle Gielan is a positive psychology researcher, bestselling author, and former national CBS News anchor who examines how optimism shapes performance and well-being. She is the author of Broadcasting Happiness and Resilient Optimism: The Science of Sustaining a Positive Mindset in Tough Times. She was an executive producer of The Happiness Advantage on PBS and a featured professor in Oprah's Happiness course. Michelle holds a Master of Applied Positive Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania and a bachelor's degree in computer engineering from Tufts University. Her research and ideas have been featured by The New York Times, The Washington Post, Forbes, Harvard Business Review, and the Today show.  In this episode we discuss the following: Optimism doesn't mean ignoring the bad news, minimizing a problem, or convincing ourselves that cars won't hit us because we're optimists. When Michelle was in the hospital with her newborn in the NICU, she focused on the next meaningful, constructive action she could take. Optimism is connected to countless positive outcomes, when our optimism leads us to take action. It's not just wishful thinking. Our behaviors matter. And an optimistic mindset can change our behaviors, which can change what happens to us next.

What would you say if I told you there is a way to choose the judge for your divorce, and skip the courtroom, entirely? The answer might surprise you. It's arbitration. In almost six years of Divorce and Beyond, arbitration has never been part of the conversation, until now. Susan Guthrie welcomes family law attorney Amanda Mason, co-founder and CEO of Solagree, a virtual flat-fee divorce process that puts expert financial and parenting guidance and mediation first, with private arbitration as the backdrop, so nobody gets stuck and nobody ends up in court. Amanda built Solagree after going through her own divorce, including a full custody trial in the same courthouse where she had practiced for years. She knows the system from both sides of the counsel table and has decided families deserve something better. This conversation explores why delay and fear fuel conflict, why functioning is not the same as healing, and how closing the exits keeps both spouses committed to reaching resolution. For anyone going through a divorce, and the professionals helping families restructure through it, this one changes what you think your options are. Together, Susan and Amanda break down how arbitration cuts the delay that fuels conflict, why it is not litigation light, and how agreeing up front that an arbitrator will decide whatever you can't settle closes the exits so no one can walk away or drag it out forever. For anyone going through a divorce, and the professionals helping families restructure through it, this one changes what you think your options are. What You'll Hear: How arbitration lets you and your spouse choose a decision-maker with deep family law experience, even for their reputation for kindness, instead of whichever judge is assigned to your case. Why delay creates conflict, with every month waiting for a court date adding paperwork updates, professional fees, and distrust. How fear stops people from settling, and why starting with financial and parenting specialists before anyone negotiates makes settlement stop feeling impossible. Why this is not litigation light, keeping every tool from expert witnesses to appraisals while giving up the backlog, the formality, and the courtroom. About this week's special guest: Amanda Mason Amanda Mason is a family law attorney, certified mediator, and the co-founder and CEO of SOLAGREE®, a virtual, flat-fee divorce process built to keep families out of court. Admitted to the North Carolina bar in 2003, Amanda has spent more than two decades in family law and is a partner at Mason, Mason & Smith in Wilmington, North Carolina. She is certified by the North Carolina Dispute Resolution Commission as both a Family Financial and a Superior Court Civil mediator, and she has been named to the North Carolina Super Lawyers list for 2025, 2026, and 2027, after appearing on the Rising Stars list from 2015 to 2018. Her work on SOLAGREE began with her own divorce. Amanda went through a full custody trial in the same courthouse where she had practiced for years, and standing on the other side of the counsel table changed how she saw the system. In 2019 she began building an alternative: a structured process where couples agree at the outset that private arbitration, not a courtroom, will decide anything they cannot settle themselves. That single commitment removes the two things that derail most divorces, one spouse walking away and one spouse dragging it out. SOLAGREE® is a virtual, flat-fee divorce process that replaces the courtroom with a private, structured path to resolution. It works in three phases. In the first, a certified divorce financial analyst and a parenting specialist help each person understand their financial picture and define their parenting goals, without the usual discovery slog. In the second, an experienced family law mediator guides the negotiation, where most cases resolve. In the third, if anything is still unresolved, a private arbitrator the couple helps select issues a binding decision. What sets it apart is the commitment at the front end. Both people agree from the start that arbitration, not court, will decide whatever they cannot settle. Amanda calls it a closed system, and it is why nobody can walk away and nobody can stall. A set of standard ground rules, including what she calls her anti-ghosting provisions, keeps both parties participating. Pricing is flat and published up front, by track: Parenting at $2,250 per person, Financial at $4,800 per person, and Combined at $5,990 per person, including the neutral experts, the mediation, the arbitration, and the final award. The entire process runs online. Attorneys are welcome and optional, and SOLAGREE is expanding state by state toward nationwide availability.

Interview recorded - 25th of September, 2026On this episode of the WTFinance podcast I had the pleasure of welcoming on Peter Schiff. Peter Schiff is the Founder of Euro Pacific Asset Management and SchiffGold, a physical precious metals dealer. With nearly four decades of experience in global markets and financial advisory, he is a widely recognized economist, financial commentator, and author.During our conversation we spoke about his overview of the economy, why markets are unconcerned, FED actions, debt crisis, treasury buybacks, the Bond endgame, replacement of the dollar and more. I hope you enjoy!0:00 - Introduction0:49 - Overview of the economy and markets?2:37 - Markets unconcerned6:11 - FED actions9:06 - Inflation10:58 - US deficit13:13 - Treasury buyback15:18 - Less leverage17:46 - Bond endgame20:17 - Replacement of the dollar21:34 - Bretton Wood currency?26:02 - Gold crash during crisis28:02 - Assets Peter is bullish on?29:40 - AI CrisisPeter Schiff's investment career began with Shearson Lehman Brothers in the early 1990s. In 1996, he and a partner started Euro Pacific Capital in Los Angeles, later moving the headquarters to Connecticut. The firm has since expanded, with offices in Scottsdale, Arizona, Boca Raton, Florida, Newport Beach, California, Los Angeles, and New York City. Euro Pacific Capital's investment strategy focuses on long-term wealth savings in the face of a declining US dollar with an emphasis on emerging market and commodity-focused investments.Peter is best known for accurately forecasting the 2008 financial crisis. During a Fox News debate in December 2006, Schiff said, “What's going to happen in 2007 is that real estate prices are going to come crashing back down to Earth.” Business news journals reported that Schiff accurately predicted the crisis, while “nearly all [macroeconomists] failed to foresee the recession despite plenty of warning signs.”Peter has also worked in the political arena, first serving as an economic advisor for Ron Paul's 2008 presidential campaign and later running for United States Senate in Connecticut in 2010 as a Republican. Politically, he leans Libertarian, with an emphasis on fiscal conservatism.Peter started SchiffGold in 2010 after recommending for decades that investors allocate 10-20% of their portfolios to physical precious metals. Peter became concerned that some of his Euro Pacific Capital clients were being misled into purchasing overpriced “numismatic” gold and silver products from gold dealers with unsavory business practices. Peter started SchiffGold to provide a trustworthy alternative that would sell only the most liquid physical bullion products at the lowest possible prices. SchiffGold is backed by Peter Schiff's Guarantee that it will only sell the most liquid physical bullion products at the lowest possible prices.Peter's expertise on money, economic theory, and international investing makes him a highly sought after as a speaker and analyst. He has been quoted and interviewed hundreds of times by media outlets around the world, including The Wall Street Journal, Barron's, Die Zeit, Tokyo Shinbun, South China Morning Post, Investor's Business Daily, The Financial Times, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, and The Washington Post. He regularly appears on CNBC, CNN, CBC, Al Jazeera, Fox News, and Fox Business Network.Peter Schiff - YouTube -  @peterschiff  X - https://x.com/peterschiffSchiff Gold - https://www.schiffgold.com/Euro Pacific Asset Management - https://europac.com/WTFinance - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/wtfinancee/Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/67rpmjG92PNBW0doLyPvfniTunes - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wtfinance/id1554934665?uo=4Twitter - https://twitter.com/AnthonyFatseas

-A FOIA expert at the University of Florida told the Washington Post, "I think we have to watch the government really carefully on how they use AI to redact records, because I think it's going to be a very powerful tool for secrecy.” -Gates said the more pressing concern is when bad actors tap into the power of AI to aid with bioterrorism or mass financial fraud incidents. -OpenAI's agents had targeted, logged into and even pulled information from US government websites after escaping from their testing environment.

The Washington Post article examines the increasingly unusual state of presidential television coverage following the White House's dispute with several major news outlets and the subsequent breakdown of the traditional TV pool system. The short answer, according to the piece, is: yes, networks are still covering President Trump, but not in the way they traditionally have.

Rien ne va plus entre Washington et Khartoum depuis une semaine, depuis que les Américains ont refusé un visa au président soudanais Abdel Fattah al-Burhan et l'ont donc empêché de venir à la dernière Assemblée générale de l'ONU. Pourquoi cette mesure exceptionnelle à l'égard d'un général qui est impliqué depuis trois ans et demi dans une guerre civile meurtrière ? Et jusqu'où ira ce bras de fer ? Le chercheur soudanais Suliman Baldo est le directeur de l'Observatoire de la Transparence et des Politiques au Soudan. En ligne de New York, il répond aux questions de Christophe Boisbouvier.  RFI : Pourquoi les Américains ont-ils refusé un visa au général al-Burhan pour l'assemblée générale de l'ONU ? Suliman Baldo : Les Américains mènent une initiative pour proposer une négociation pour terminer les combats au Soudan et il a été proposé une cessation d'hostilités humanitaires au Soudan, pour trois mois, aux deux belligérants au Soudan, l'armée soudanaise et les Forces de soutien rapide. Or, Burhan a résisté à cette feuille de route proposée par les États-Unis et ses alliés régionaux pour deux raisons : parce que l'armée soudanaise continue à croire qu'elle peut réaliser une victoire militaire sur les Forces de soutien rapide, et parce que les conditionnalités politiques n'étaient pas acceptées par le général. Est-il vrai que les Américains ont dit au général Al-Burhan : « Si vous acceptez de signer une trêve de 90 jours, vous aurez un visa pour New York » ? Je crois que les choses ont atteint un point où les États-Unis ont décidé d'affronter Burhan. D'abord, dans les fuites orchestrées sur le développement d'armement chimique par l'armée soudanaise, avec l'implication de Burhan, selon les fuites qui ont été publiées par deux journaux, le New York Times et le Washington Post, le même jour, il y a deux semaines à peu près. Et c'était pour démontrer que Burhan était impliqué dans un crime de guerre en permettant sous son commandement à l'armée de développer des armes chimiques. Et donc c'était orchestré juste avant la tenue de l'assemblée générale, pour vraiment montrer que Burhan n'était pas qualifié en quelque sorte pour être un membre de cette assemblée de chefs internationaux. C'était une façon de vouloir délégitimer Abdel Fattah al-Burhan avant l'Assemblée générale de l'ONU ? Tout à fait. Alors, sur le terrain militaire, les Forces armées soudanaises du général Burhan avancent depuis deux mois dans la province du Kordofan du Nord, notamment autour de la ville d'El Obeid. Est-ce que ce n'est pas la vraie raison pour laquelle Abdel Fattah al-Burhan ne veut pas signer de cessez-le-feu ? Je crois que l'armée soudanaise est en train de poursuivre un plan pour utiliser le nord du Kordofan comme base pour mener des attaques dans le fief des FSR, dans la région du Darfour. Or, les FSR ont toujours des milliers de combattants et ont déployé des soldats nouvellement formés avec des équipements complets, comme des Technicals Toyota, qui sont équipés pour la guerre de savane et du désert, et ils vont donc repousser l'offensive de l'armée soudanaise et continueront, je crois, avec ces batailles sans cesse, parce qu'il est clair et évident pour tout le monde qu'il n'y aura jamais de solution militaire pour la guerre actuelle, surtout avec l'utilisation maintenant de drones des deux côtés. Alors la semaine dernière, les Américains sont allés loin dans leur bras de fer avec le général al-Burhan puisqu'ils l'ont déclaré illégitime. Qui va gagner à l'usure ? Est-ce que c'est Donald Trump ou est-ce que c'est Abdel Fattah al-Burhan ? Il y a beaucoup de contradictions parce que maintenant, l'Arabie saoudite [qui soutient Burhan] a besoin de beaucoup de soutien militaire et d'intelligence de la part des États-Unis dans sa guerre avec les Houthis au Yémen. Donc, le numéro un saoudien, Ben Salmane, a fait appel au président Trump pour intervenir contre les Houthis au Yémen, qui ont vraiment paralysé l'industrie pétrolière dans le pays. Et donc, à cause de cette dépendance aux États-Unis, l'Arabie saoudite ne peut pas beaucoup s'opposer à la politique américaine au Soudan. Alors le camp du général al-Burhan affirme que les Américains ont basculé dans le camp du général Hemedti et qu'ils ne peuvent plus faire de médiation. Qu'est-ce que vous en pensez ? Tout seuls, je ne crois pas que les Américains vont arriver à trouver une solution pour cette guerre très complexe et à multiples dimensions, parce qu'ils se sont aliéné l'armée soudanaise complètement. Mais ça veut dire qu'il faut que les Américains se retirent de la négociation, à votre avis ? Je ne pense pas, parce que les Américains ont eux aussi des intérêts stratégiques au Soudan. Et pour eux, c'est la question d'éloigner l'influence de la Russie de la mer Rouge. Parce que la Russie est l'un des fournisseurs d'armement de l'armée soudanaise et poursuit toujours le projet d'avoir une base militaire sur la mer Rouge, à Port-Soudan. Et les Américains ne veulent pas en entendre parler, comme les Saoudiens d'ailleurs, et c'est pourquoi les Américains restent engagés au Soudan.

The Washington Post article examines the increasingly unusual state of presidential television coverage following the White House's dispute with several major news outlets and the subsequent breakdown of the traditional TV pool system. The short answer, according to the piece, is: yes, networks are still covering President Trump, but not in the way they traditionally have. According to Mediaite, a new television ad featuring President Donald Trump aired on Fox News Sunday and sparked criticism because the ad disclosed that it was"paid for by the U.S. government."

September 27, 2026; 7am: On Saturday, President Trump said he had rejected Iran's latest proposal for a ceasefire and the opening of the Strait of Hormuz. Before rejecting the proposal, the president posted an image of the Strait of Hormuz on Truth Social labeling it as the “Trump Strait.” And as the war enters its 8th month of fighting, there are new reports about the human toll of the war on American service members. The Washington Post reports the Pentagon quietly added 37 Sailors and Marines to its tally of troops wounded during the Iran War this week without explanation, bringing the total number wounded during the war to 861. Spokespeople for the Pentagon did not return the Post's requests for comment.

There are photo assignments where the story is difficult. There are assignments where the conditions are difficult. And then there are the ones that remind you that there can still be hope and joy in the middle of everything else. In Part Two of my conversation with photojournalist Carolyn van Houten, we continue her journey into some of the stories that have taken her around the world — from a missile attack in Ukraine, to women under the Taliban in Afghanistan, to speeding bullets in Somalia, or working with UFC fighters for the Freedom 250 event at the White House. We talk about starting her new freelance chapter after The Washington Post, and how perhaps a bit of stubbornness, persistence, luck and a bit of humor comes in handy at times. Grab a coffee and join me for Part Two of my conversation with the amazing Carolyn van Houten. ***

Friends,Today, Heather and I examine Trump's efforts to silence criticism — not only by banning CNN, Politico, and MSNOW from the White House this week, but, even more worrisome, putting his billionaire buddy Larry Ellison and Larry's son David in control of CNN as well as CBS News, HBO, TikTok, and other news outlets. (The deal to let Paramount acquire Warner Bros. Discovery went through this week with little public notice.) We also look at the larger issue of Trump's billionaire buddies owning the media (Washington Post, X, Facebook, YouTube, etc.). Also: where the money is coming from to support Republican candidates in these last weeks before the midterm elections (spoiler alert: all of the above). Also: the attendees at Trump's state dinner for Xi Jinping (spoiler alert: all of the above). Also: what this consolidation of wealth and power means for the upcoming midterms (no spoiler alert). So please grab a cuppa, pull up a chair, and join the conversation. This is a public episode.

The argument is that Hasan Piker has evolved from an internet personality into a national political issue. His ability to mobilize younger progressive voters makes him attractive to some Democrats, but his history of controversial remarks has made him an increasingly valuable target for Republicans. As the midterms approach, Democratic candidates such as Abdul El-Sayed are facing ongoing questions about how closely they want to be associated with him. According to reporting cited by the Washington Post, Texas Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico is trying to put pressure on Republican nominee Ken Paxton by challenging him to a debate on Fox News, while Paxton has yet to commit to any debate.

What do you do when your research leads to a conclusion that challenges conventional wisdom? You can publish it and risk the backlash — or quietly bury the findings and move on to safer work. The Carob Trust Prize, a new $1 million award, aims to change that calculation by rewarding academics whose research challenges prevailing orthodoxies and withstands scrutiny. But can money really make telling the truth less costly?Harvard professor Roland Fryer co-founded the prize after facing that choice himself. He joins host Megan McArdle to discuss the experiences that shaped his work and the pressures that discourage scholars from pursuing unpopular findings. They also examine his research on racial achievement gaps and failing schools, as well as Nikole Hannah-Jones's recent New York Times essay about sending her daughter to a high-poverty, segregated public school.Subscribe to The Washington Post here.

When sixteen-year-old Anneliese Michel began having seizures and hallucinations in 1968, her parents took her to a doctor, who diagnosed Anneliese with temporal lobe epilepsy and depression and recommended psychiatric treatment. Two years later, however, her delusions and hallucinations returned, manifesting in the form of “devil faces” and voices that telling her she was evil and would be going to hell. Believing the treatment wasn't working and fearing Anneliese was possessed by demons, Anneliese's family arranged for her to be visited by a local Jesuit priest, who confirmed their fear: Anneliese was possessed and the only way to save her soul was an exorcism.After nearly fifty years, the exorcism of Anneliese Michel still stands as one of the most shocking and harrowing stories of supposed demonic possession and exorcism in history—not only because it resulted in a woman's death, but because it also resulted in the prosecution of her exorcists. Yet with all the information that has been released about the case, no one seems to know what really happened to Anneliese Michel.ReferencesAssociated Press. 1978.

Nearly one-third of American adults may have some form of iron deficiency. Does that mean we should be eating more meat—or could that advice create an entirely different set of health problems?   Dr. Neal Barnard joins Chuck Carroll to examine a Washington Post article recommending meat, poultry, and seafood as sources of highly absorbable heme iron. They also explore the counterargument from Dr. Jim Loomis of Barnard Medical Center, who says beans and greens are the healthier choice.   You'll learn how to meet your iron needs while eating a plant-based diet, including the best foods, the importance of vitamin C, and common mistakes that can interfere with absorption.   Dr. Barnard also examines the complete nutritional package that comes with each source of iron. How do beans compare with beef when calories, total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, fiber, and protein are considered? And what could the choice mean for LDL cholesterol, blood sugar, insulin sensitivity, inflammation, blood pressure, weight, and other metabolic markers?   Plus, discover the potential concerns surrounding heme iron, including its associations with colorectal cancer, cardiovascular disease, oxidative stress, and type 2 diabetes.   Topics discussed include: Heme iron vs. non-heme iron The best plant-based sources of iron Beans, lentils, tofu, seeds, whole grains, and leafy greens How vitamin C improves iron absorption Ferritin, hemoglobin, and transferrin saturation When an iron supplement may be necessary The potential risks of taking iron without medical supervision Calories, saturated fat, cholesterol, and fiber in iron-rich foods Heme iron and the risks of cancer and heart disease

Chinese President Xi Jinping arrives in Washington today for his first visit to the United States in three years. Reuters’s Trevor Hunnicutt explains what he and Trump want from the summit. The administration has pledged at least $410 million to more than 30 countries to accept migrants deported from the U.S. The Washington Post’s David Nakamura reports on the deals. Plus, 760,000 people are being removed from Affordable Care Act coverage, a Republican senator is pushing to subpoena Donald Trump Jr. and Hunter Biden, and a country song broke a Billboard record. Today’s episode was hosted by Gideon Resnick.

The Washington Post’s Adam Taylor joins from New York as world leaders gather for the U.N. General Assembly, where Secretary-General António Guterres will deliver his final address amid deep divisions over Iran and Ukraine. Politico’s Oriana Pawlyk explains the FAA’s new AI tool for easing flight delays, and why airlines pushed for a slower rollout.

Discovery merger, and George Lucas is opening his long-awaited art museum in Los Angeles. Today’s episode was hosted by Shumita Basu.

It wasn't that many years ago that self-driving cars were the stuff of science fiction. But in what feels like the blink of an eye, driver-less cars now roam the streets of a growing number of cities across the country. In fact, it's not all that difficult to imagine a future in which the sheer risk of driving one's own car is considered unethical. The trajectory of Artificial Intelligence in medicine may follow a similar arc. As AI becomes increasingly adept at diagnosing patients and recommending treatment plans, it's not hard to imagine a day when it would be unethical for a doctor not to consult AI. Our guest on this episode is Ethan Goh, MD, an internal medicine physician and executive director of ARISE — Harvard and Stanford's research network focused on advancing the evaluation and deployment of AI in healthcare. In addition to his role at ARISE, Dr. Goh is the Program Director of Stanford's Healthcare AI Leadership Program and a Visiting Faculty Researcher at Google. His extensive work has been published in Nature Medicine, Science, and JAMA, with media coverage in the New York Times, Washington Post, and CNN. Over the course of this episode, Dr. Goh details the current capabilities of AI in the medical space, including the surprising finding that AI alone does better at diagnosing disease than doctors who are themselves using AI. We discuss the limitations of studies that compare AI to doctors in relatively noise-free tests and consider the importance of designing workflows that allow healthcare providers to work synergistically with AI. Finally, Dr. Goh reminds us that medicine isn't just coming to the right answer, it is also about care, making the value of a person in the room who understands a patient's disease as well as their humanity something that is not easily replaced. In this episode of The Doctor's Art: 3:10 - Dr. Goh's professional journey to the intersection of medicine and AI9:15 - An update on the status of AI in medicine 20:25 - How is it that AI does better at diagnosis than physicians who are using AI?29:45 - If AI has become better at diagnosis than humans, why keep humans in the loop? 37:26 - Necessary changes in medical regulation, licensure, and liability to capitalize on AI in medicine47:54 - Training new doctors in the age of AIIf you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, rate, and review our show, available for free on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
