Podcasts about White House

JD Vance begs voters to give the White House "another chance" as a series of new polls show a political environment even more favorable to Democrats than the one that propelled the blue wave in 2018. Jon, Dan, and Alex break down how much "hopium" we should be huffing, a new ad from a Florida Republican breaking with Trump on immigration, and whether unexpectedly close Senate races in Minnesota and New Hampshire should have Democrats worried. They dive into JD Vance's advice to AI companies to simply stop "building Frankenstein" and unpack Trump's fixation on demolishing the Kennedy Center if he's not allowed to name it after himself. Alex talks about her new book, "The Steal: Four Right-Wing Hard-Liners, One Republican Presidency, and the Raid on America's Courts," which follows the conservative movement's deliberate takeover of the American judicial system. Then, Dan Osborn, the independent candidate for Senate in Nebraska, stops by the studio to talk to Jon about his campaign against Pete Ricketts.Hate listening to ads?

In Greenland, the Trump administration has got tech bros and hedge fund guys running an influence operation there. The aim may be to fulfill Trump's territorial ambitions—or to create a sovereign state run by CEOs. In Venezuela, the administration is imperialistically seizing its gold, oil and other assets with no oversight. And in Brazil, the White House is trying to bring the Bolsonaro family back to power—which may or may not have something to do with Elon being angry about the country's tech regulation laws. In Trump 2.0, informal envoys, private companies, and hardened ideologues are turning American diplomacy upside down.

K.T. McFarland, former Deputy National Security Advisor, calls into the morning show for her weekly Friday morning chat with Sid, to discuss Sid's closed-door meeting yesterday at the White House with Vice President JD Vance and why it is crucial for Sid to get acquainted with the probable GOP nominee for President in 2028.

Outrageous and unpredictable, Sid Rosenberg, host of Sid & Friends In The Morning, connects with his audience because he is the audience. A native of Brooklyn, Sid is as New York as you can get –- he shares his honest opinion, and he doesn't hold back.

Alex Traiman, CEO of Jewish News Syndicate, stops by the morning show reporting live from Israel, to discuss the latest news coming out the Middle East and ours and Israel's ongoing conflict with Iran and its terror proxies. Traiman then offers his reaction to Sid's meeting yesterday at the White House with Vice President JD Vance, and Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu's upcoming visit to New York City for the annual U.N. General Assembly taking place next week.

We're 46 days until the midterm elections, and it appears at least some vulnerable Republicans have decided cozying up to the White House may not be the best strategy. The latest is GOP Senate candidate Ashley Hinson, who is skipping a rally in Iowa that VP Vance is attending. Hinson's move comes days after two other Iowa Republicans in tight House races broke with the Trump administration.     Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Aaron and Josh Sarnecky are here to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Designated Survivor.Designated Survivor is a political thriller drama series. It premiered on ABC on September 21, 2016. It ran on the network for two seasons before being canceled. Netflix picked the show up for a shorter third season, which debuted in June 2019. Netflix canceled the series the following month, leaving the episode total at 53.In the pilot, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Tom Kirkman (Kiefer Sutherland) becomes the President after an attack on the State of Union address, by virtue of being the designated survivor. Kirkman, his wife (Natascha McElhone) and his children (Mckenna Grace, Tanner Buchanan) abruptly move into the White House. During the show, he must rebuild federal government, find those responsible for the attack, and run for election.Kirkman is assisted by many characters, including Chief of Staff Emily Rhodes (Italia Ricci), National Security Advisor Aaron Shore (Adan Canto), Press Secretary Seth Wright (Kal Penn), Secret Service Agent Mike Ritter (LaMonica Garrett), and FBI Agent Hannah Wells (Maggie Q).Political players include Speaker of the House Kimble Hookstraten (Virginia Madsen), Former President Cornelius Moss (Geoff Pierson), the duplicitous Vice President Peter MacLeish (Ashley Zukerman), and Kirkman's campaign manager Lorraine Zimmer (Julie White).Other characters include attorney Ethan West (Michael J.

The show had five showrunners in three seasons. The revolving door of showrunners plus declining ratings led to its first cancelation. Upon its second cancelation, Netflix said the third season's finale was a satisfying ending.Designated Survivor received a South Korean adaptation titled Designated Survivor: 60 Days.Aaron and Josh discuss watching and reviewing Designated Survivor before going into the show's storylines and characters, how the show was affected by real life politics, and its relevance back then and today.You can listen to Aaron and Josh talk about Kiefer Sutherland as Jack Bauer in their 24 podcast. You can also hear about his role in Stand by Me on last month's podcast.Designated Survivor is streaming on Netflix

Since Donald Trump's return to the White House in January 2025, migrant arrests have surged in the United States. More than 610,000 people have passed through detention centres run by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the federal immigration agency in under two years. The pace only continues to accelerate: in August 2026, nearly 51,000 arrests were made in a single month – a record for Trump's second term. Who are the people being held in these centres? What are their living conditions like? And how is Trump's mass deportation policy upending the lives of families settled in the United States? In this report, Valérie Defert and Pierrick Laurent investigate the issue in Texas – the heart of the new US immigration detention system.

September 17, 2026; 4pm: The midterms are inching closer and Republicans are starting to publicly break from Donald Trump. A new political ad from Republican Congresswoman Maria Elvira Salazar calls Trump out directly for deportations going too far and for betraying the Hispanic voters who put Trump in the White House in 2024.

The New Yorker staff writer Joshua Rothman joins Tyler Foggatt to discuss recent calls from industry leaders to slow the development of A.I. technology for safety reasons. They talk about an industry-wide fear that A.I. could disrupt or even end human life within a decade, what an A.I.-related extinction event might look like, and whether the people developing the technology can be trusted to play a role in regulating it. They also explore recent incidents involving A.I. models going “rogue” and the difficulty of making increasingly capable autonomous systems trustworthy and controllable. This week's reading: “The Long Doomsday of A.I.,” by Joshua Rothman “My Weekend with an A.I.

Mets prospect Mitch Voit went viral this week because the internet is convinced a man that good looking has to be AI generated. He isn't. That sends Covino and Rich into a full episode about names and fakes, starting with Jaylen Waddle calling Bo Nix "Tua" in a Broncos huddle, then working through Trump's run at Tua Tagovailoa, the White House introduction that produced "Mike McGwire and Sammy Susser," Flavor Flav greeting Miley Cyrus as Gwen Stefani, John Travolta's "Adele Dazeem," and the interview where Rich called Ice Cube "Ice-T" to his face and waited a decade for forgiveness. Then they play Real or AI with a shoplifting J.Lo lookalike, two lightning strikes, an inflatable ocean suit, and a jet ski wipeout that is unfortunately authentic. Rich closes with his NFL teaser card for the week and a Mets season defined by a billion dollars of infielders dropping the same pop up #FSR #CRSHOW #OverpromisedSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Black on Black Cinema tackles Trump's ongoing assault on American landmarks. The East Wing of the White House was abruptly demolished last October, sparking legal battles over the approval process. Now the Kennedy Center is facing demolition threats over his childish desire to have his name on the building. The historic East Potomac cherry blossom grove; a 1912 gift from Japan is at real risk as Trump terminates a 50-year lease to build a "championship" golf course, with debris from the demolished East Wing literally dumped on the same site. The Lincoln Memorial's Reflecting Pool sits in disarray after a botched, unbid renovation.We ask the harder question: why does this president's legacy consistently manifest as destruction rather than creation? And as Black people, we sit with the real complexity here, many of these landmarks were built by enslaved people, monuments to a history that never fully included us. Is preservation even our fight? We land somewhere honest: this is still our country, our history, our capital, and watching it get torn down for spite and a golf handicap isn't something we're willing to be apathetic about, however complicated our relationship to these buildings really is.The next film to be review will be "I Love Boosters," written and directed by Boots Riley. The film follows a group of shoplifters who take aim at a cutthroat fashion maven by stealing her clothes and reselling them at a lower price, what they call "fashion-forward philanthropy."Black on Black Cinema is a long-running podcast featuring in-depth Black movie reviews and frank conversations that matter to the Black community.

In this episode of the Ready State Podcast, Kelly and Juliet Starrett sit down with longtime friend Dr. Drew Contreras, a retired Army physical therapist who went from supporting soldiers in combat to becoming the first full-time physical therapist embedded in the White House Medical Unit.Drew shares what he learned caring for everyone from White House staff to Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden – and why the fundamentals of human performance matter even more when time is your most valuable resource. From encouraging naps during relentless work schedules to introducing walking meetings at the White House, Drew explains how small changes can help people stay functional under extraordinary pressure.The conversation also explores the changing role of physical therapy, why PTs should be doing more than treating injuries one patient at a time, and how technology such as digital health and AI could reshape the profession.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhat working with two sitting U.S. presidents taught Drew about keeping people functional under extreme pressureWhy naps, walking meetings, and other simple interventions can make a major difference during sustained periods of high-stress workHow physical therapists became a “force multiplier” for keeping soldiers healthy and operational during deploymentWhy Drew believes physical therapists should play a bigger role in performance and musculoskeletal primary careWhy embracing new technology such as digital health and AI will be essential for the future of physical therapyKey Highlights: (00:00) Intro to Dr. Drew Contreras(02:55) How a Combat PT Got Handpicked for the White House(07:00) The Birthday Basketball Game That Started It All(12:05) Building a Wellness Culture in the White House(19:15) What Actually Moved the Needle on Health(22:05) Naps, Walking Meetings, & Reframing Work(26:30) Deploying as One of the First Combat PTs(31:00) PT as Human Performance, Not Just Rehab(33:20) Treating Obama vs. Biden – Different Ages, Different Needs(38:50) Leading the APTA & Scaling Physical Therapy(43:45) The Money Problem in Physical Therapy(53:30) PT as Musculoskeletal Primary Care(1:00:30) AI, Digital Health, & the Future of PT(1:04:21) What the Presidency Really Does to a Person(1:11:30) Infinite Shelf: Legacy by James KerrHuge thanks to our sponsors, LMNT, BEDGEAR, and Momentous.

Kyrgyzstan: A charred White House (they have one, too), riots and pogroms, plus a problematic human rights award. Why doesn't the need for diplomacy ever stop? Our very own Amb. Dan Rosenblum saw it all while overseeing aid in Central Asia and shares the experience through his eyes, his heart and his professional lens.

Mets prospect Mitch Voit went viral this week because the internet is convinced a man that good looking has to be AI generated. He isn't. That sends Covino and Rich into a full episode about names and fakes, starting with Jaylen Waddle calling Bo Nix "Tua" in a Broncos huddle, then working through Trump's run at Tua Tagovailoa, the White House introduction that produced "Mike McGwire and Sammy Susser," Flavor Flav greeting Miley Cyrus as Gwen Stefani, John Travolta's "Adele Dazeem," and the interview where Rich called Ice Cube "Ice-T" to his face and waited a decade for forgiveness. Then they play Real or AI with a shoplifting J.Lo lookalike, two lightning strikes, an inflatable ocean suit, and a jet ski wipeout that is unfortunately authentic. Rich closes with his NFL teaser card for the week and a Mets season defined by a billion dollars of infielders dropping the same pop up #FSR #CRSHOW #OverpromisedSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

//The Wire//2000Z September 17, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: SAUDIS CLAIM THAT THE EAST-WEST PIPELINE WILL BE REPAIRED SOON, DESPITE THE TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF SEVERAL PUMPING STATIONS. UNITED STATES WEIGHS MITIGATION ACTIONS TO PREVENT DIESEL CRISIS FROM EXPANDING. PRESIDENT XI AND PRESIDENT RAMAPHOSA REPORTEDLY FELL ILL DURING BRICS SUMMIT.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE-----  -International Events-India: Multiple world leaders have reportedly fallen ill after attending the BRICS summit in New Delhi. Chinese President Xi Jinping skipped the gala dinner and returned to China early, and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa also had to depart India early due to an unspecified illness. His Deputy President, Paul Mashatile, also fell ill at the same time, as has been confirmed by the South African government.Analyst Comment: Right now, it's not clear as to if the illnesses are the result of malign action, or just the natural reaction to being in India. Multiple leaders from separate countries falling ill at around the same time is a big clue, but Chinese sources are speculating that President Xi might have had a stroke. At the moment, there is nothing confirming this as Xi's personal life tends to be extremely private, and there has been no official confirmation regarding why he departed the BRICS summit early.Saudi Arabia: Repair work up and down the East-West Pipeline continues, along with repairs at Yanbu. Saudi forces have also requested air defenses from various European nations, as the United States has declined to become involved in defending their refineries.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. - Concerns continue to mount regarding the status of Senator Mitch McConnell. Yesterday, he was transported to the Capitol to vote on an agricultural spending bill, and footage of him continues to indicate that he is very visibly not well or coherent. Sen. McConnell has generally been conscious, but unresponsive to verbal comments made by journalists attempting to ask him questions.USA: Around the nation, reports of gasoline and diesel shortages are beginning to manifest, as several gas stations have announced that they are out of gas. Gas stations in North Texas, Florida, and California have all reported being out of gas as of last night.Analyst Comment: Right now it's hard to pinpoint exactly what is causing these specific shortages. To be sure, a handful of gas stations running out of gas is not indicative of a dire and imminent nationwide shortage; based on the EIA's Weekly Status Report, last week gasoline stocks in the US were only down 4.6% from what they were last year. However the empty pumps don't lie, and right now the most likely explanation for localized gasoline shortages is a combination of logistical issues delaying shipments to individual gas stations...and panic buying which will drain a gas station much faster than normal. Due to oil execs saying gas prices are going to increase over the next few days, people are probably trying to get ahead of the curve. Since most gas stations only have a day's worth of gas (and rely on nearly daily deliveries to refill their underground tanks), it doesn't take much of an increase in demand to generate a localized shortage.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Saudi oil contracts continued to be canceled as the scale of Houthi attacks continues to expand. All oil onloading at Yanbu has been halted for at least six days, and the only other source for Saudi exports is now through smaller ports, or through Ras Tanura via the Strait of Hormuz. Despite the devastation, some Saudi officials claim that the East-West Pipeline will return to at least 50% of it's capacity within a few days, though this appears to be wishful thinking at best. At the moment, formalized force majeure declarations have not taken place, but Aramco has "deferred" deliveries of crude for the rest of the month of September, and various contracts continue to be canceled.As it stands, Saudi Arabia is seriously in trouble and it's extremely unlikely that Saudi Arabia will be exporting any sizable amount of oil for a while. European oil traders seem rather adamant that Saudi Arabia has already canceled most of their contracts with various customers for oil deliveries, however Saudi officials assure the world that everything is fine and they will be back to full capacity soon. Saudi sources have claimed that the SUMED pipeline (with it's capacity of 2.5 million barrels per day) can be used as a partial-backup to the East-West Pipeline being down. However there is one problem with this plan...geography. The SUMED pipeline is not in Saudi Arabia, it's in Egypt. And the only way that the Saudis can use this pipeline, is to load oil at Yanbu, sail it on ships across the Red Sea, and deposit the crude in Egypt to be sent down the pipeline. The single point of failure for this "backup" pipeline is the same point of failure for the East-West Pipeline...Yanbu. Which is currently offline due to Houthi strikes. Whatever the truth is regarding exactly how much oil is able to exit the Middle East, it will be discovered rather quickly as crude cannot be conjured up out of thin air, and at some point the sheer lack of volume will have to be acknowledged.Within the homeland, the United States has begun more serious mitigation efforts due to the Saudis being offline for presumably a long time. The Department of Transportation has issued a 90-day waiver for truckers carrying fuel, easing Hours-of-Service (HOS) regulations to allow truckers to drive more hours in a 24 hour period. The White House is also still considering an export ban on diesel, in order to ease rising costs in the United States. If this were to be enacted, domestic prices would probably dip, but the shock to the system could result in unintended consequences in the long term.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground NomadNet: 5fa68c88be727a0e1a250a75e5e79269 Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

Trump has swamped the U.S. in corruption - Nick Cohen argues that the UK must act now to escape the same fate Nick Cohen delves into the history of past political donations as he argues that the UK must do all it can not to be plunged into the brazen corruption of Donald Trump's crooked White House.The controversial gift of £1 million to the Labour Party by former Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone produced an exception to a tobacco-advertising ban for Formula One. Uniquely among Western democracies, Britain also lets money purchase a seat in the legislature through peerages; the odds that such honours were coincidental were once put at winning the lottery jackpot five times running. Because big money in politics was never cleaned up, Cohen says, we now live in an age of extreme wealth in which sums that are rounding errors to crypto billionaires can buy an entire party.CRYPTO-SLEAZE & REFORMNick says there is rightly deep concern over the unprecedented funds being showered on Reform by shadowy foreign-based: Christopher Harborne a main investor in the Tether stablecoin firm, has recently pledged £36 million, on top of an earlier £5 million personal gift to Farage, and earlier donations to Reform totalling £12million. The total amount to Reform and Farage would total a staggering £53 million! The Harborne £36 million is being matched by another crypto-billionaire, Ben Delo, co-founder and former chief executive of BitMEX. Delo pleaded guilty in 2023 to U.S. anti-corruption charges over failed anti-money-laundering controls and was later pardoned by Donald Trump. Farage, whom Nick Cohen calls Trump's acolyte, then lobbies the Bank of England against a digital pound that would compete with his patrons' products and presses for capital-gains-tax cuts on crypto. Both Harborne and Delo have indicated they will move back to the UK so their huge donations can be valid, and legally made under current UK electoral law.Labour, despite a huge Commons majority, is not closing the loophole that currently allows foreign based donors to move to the UK in order to make a donation because it too lives off big money. An insider account of the 2024 campaign records Angela Rayner's proposed ban on foreign donations being pulled after Labour's then-biggest donor, Lord Ali, objected. Nick finds a mere foreign-donor ban inadequate anyway: money has no smell, and a gift from Thailand or Hong Kong does not become virtuous if the donor moves to Britain. He wants a hard cap on donations regardless of source—even if that hurts trade unions—plus more public funding of parties, building on existing Short Money. If a Labour government will not do that, he asks, what is the point of it? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this week's Data Debrief, Catherine Dowden-King and Kyle Winterbottom are recording a day early ahead of a busy stretch in London – a custom client event, the Future of Data, AI & BI Summit and Big Data London, with Driven by Data Live on 8th October. The headlines this week belong to Donald Trump, who has dismissed AI safeguards and calls for a "kill switch" as a hoax, which sets up the episode's central question: what happens when the people with the power to sign off on AI – presidents or CEOs – sit well above the technical detail and the risk?Catherine and Kyle draw the parallel between geopolitical "space race" thinking and the boardroom instinct to move first and mop it up later, before turning to the vetting questions every data leader should be asking of vendors and LLM providers: what are their values, why are they in the market, and what's in it for them? They then debrief Tuesday's episode with David Castro-Gavino and Boyan Angelov – merchants of complexity, friction versus maturity models, and a CDO role that is hired without an objective – and Kyle's thought of the week on the environmental cost of AI that nobody in the industry seems to be talking about.They also discuss:Why one of the world's most powerful people calling AI safeguards a hoax is a bigger statement than it sounds.Why the AI race is being driven by the fear of China catching up, and how that agenda filters into business.Why "just do it, we'll mop it up later" is the same decision whether it's made in the White House or the boardroom.Why the spectrum between doomsday and handbrake-on leaves everyone struggling to know who to trust.What questions to ask of any vendor or LLM provider before plugging them into your business.What the Careless People revelations about targeting insecure teenagers tell us about tech companies' incentives.Why tech companies handling health and genetic data aren't regulated like health companies.Why "just because you could doesn't mean you should" is the age-old debate, and why nobody boycotts anyway.How a tight-knit CDO community quietly blacklists vendors with poor ethics.Why the vendor community has to own the fact that every pitch deck now sounds the same.Why executives can be forgiven for not understanding the weeds of "AI-powered" everything.How the event agenda has flipped from getting executives to care about data to reining them in.Why data leaders have to learn to sell, and why selling is really just communication.Why influence at ExCo level comes down to trust, credibility and relationships.Why "merchants of complexity" and self-inflicted complexity resonated so strongly with listeners.Why friction isn't uniform, and why "the whole thing's a mess" is rarely true for every department.Why maturity models are theatre, and diagnosing friction through each role's lens is the practical alternative.Why frameworks can contain thinking, and why data people run to structure when they might need creativity.Why the CDO must be the only senior role in business hired without an objective, and what a 90-day plan is really for.Why nobody in the AI adoption conversation is asking whether we need to be using it at all.What 700ml of water per ChatGPT prompt says about the environmental cost of replacing Google.Why nothing in data is sociologically neutral, and why people only care about data centres once the bulldozers arrive.What the new Driven by Data Productions brand means for the community, the podcast, the events and the magazine.How to get 20% off Enabling Data with the code DRIVEN20.

More To The Story: The 2016 election that put Donald Trump in the White House the first time was defined in many ways by the role of America's longtime adversary Russia. Over the years, multiple investigations have concluded that Russia meddled in the election to boost Trump over Hillary Clinton and create political discord among voters. Trump, meanwhile, has repeatedly called the Russia investigations a “hoax.” As the 2026 midterms approach, experts warn that Russia could interfere in US elections once again. Because as Mother Jones Washington bureau chief David Corn lays out in his new book, How Russia Won: Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and the Fight for America, Russia has been waging a continuous campaign against the US. On this week's More To The Story, Corn talks about Russian President Vladimir Putin's “twilight war” against the US and Western democracies, argues that the infamous Steele dossier ultimately helped Trump, and examines how the Trump White House has dismantled government agencies tasked with finding and fending off Russian disinformation campaigns.Producer: Josh Sanburn | Editor: Kara McGuirk-Allison | Theme music: Fernando Arruda and Jim Briggs | Copy editor: Nikki Frick | Digital producer: Artis Curiskis | Deputy executive producer: Taki Telonidis | Executive producer: Brett Myers | Executive editor: James West | Host: Al LetsonListen: Trump's Impulsive Foreign Policy Is Tearing Apart the Global Order (More To The Story)Read: Why Is Trump's DOJ Still Helping the Russian-Linked Liar Who Smeared Biden?

September 15, 2026Seven years ago, I wrote a Facebook post that was the start of Letters from an American, I wrote about how things at the White House looked to me, I wrote that a dictator was on the rise, using the power of his office to amass power, The patterns I saw seven years ago are slicing to the heard of both the mechanics and the soul of the US, In that first letter, I warned of rising authoritarianism, I encouraged people to make noise, take up oxygen, defend what is great about this nation and its people, And we have made noise, and taken up oxygen, I write these letters because I love America, To those who read these letters, I thank you for bringing me along on this wild, unexpected, exhausting, and exhilarating journey.  Watch today's recording here: https://www.youtube.com/live/g9TUa1Rwd6U?si=T8_KKcHQZElhpnZ-Get full, free access to Letters from an American here: https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribeYou can also find me:Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/hcrichardson.bsky.socialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/heathercoxrichardson/?hl=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/heathercoxrichardson/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@heathercoxrichardson Get full access to Letters from an American at heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribe

The in-house research team has hollowed out, and the LLMs picking up the slack are only delivering their best guesses. Merciv, the agentic brain behind Future Commerce's Signal Reports, has set out to deliver auditable, defensible, and unified reporting solutions — and it's redefining what brands are capable of achieving in-house in the process. Phillip and Alicia welcome Merciv co-founder and CEO Shaia Erlbaum to the show to talk about how brands can read signals in real time, and verify their relevancy. Shaia argues that data itself is commoditizing, but verification is not. The most honest consumer signal lives too deep for surveys to reach, which is why our Signal Reports are looking deeper than stated behaviors and are telling completely new kinds of retail and culture stories.The Toothpaste Doesn't Lie Key takeaways:Insights teams keep shrinking while the C-suite depends on them more than ever.Surveys capture posturing. Forums, reviews, and comment sections capture behavior.Data is commoditizing. Proprietary brand knowledge is the durable moat.The first Signal Report, a collaboration between Future Commerce and Merciv, maps where GLP-1s removed cultural friction – and where friction migrated to."Almost everyone answering a survey question about how many times they brush their teeth in a day will say twice. But if you actually look at those sales figures, they simply don't sell enough toothpaste." — Shaia Erlbaum"These models aren't built to tell you, 'Hey, I don't know.'" — Shaia Erlbaum"There's a world where data's already becoming a commodity… a lot of the real advantage is less rooted in which model's more intelligent, but more so in to what degree can we actually verify the information we're coming across." — Shaia Erlbaum"The office of the CMO is becoming more of an individual contributor role." — Phillip JacksonIn-Show Mentions:Merciv: merciv.com"Frictionless Wellness: GLP-1s and What Comes After the Age of Autonomy" – the first Future Commerce Signal Report, powered by Merciv.LORE, our newest book on who really writes your brand's story.

This week, Steve sits down with Steve Miska, author, former military leader, educator, and founder of Wrangling & Writing, for a conversation about curiosity, risk, leadership, decision-making, and what it means to move forward when you're never truly ready. Miska embraces the idea of the 40/70 rule-- the belief that waiting for complete clarity can cause us to miss important opportunities, while acting with too little information can lead us down the wrong path. Instead, he argues that there is a productive space between the two: a point where we have enough clarity to act while remaining open to what we might learn along the way. The conversation explores how curiosity, empathy, and humility can help leaders navigate uncertainty, manage noise, and move beyond black-and-white thinking. Mellor and Miska also discuss the rescuers' archetype, the responsibility we have for how we show up emotionally and why people need to own their own decisions. In this episode, you'll hear about: • The 40/70 rule and how to act without waiting for perfect clarity • Why curiosity, empathy, and humility are essential to navigating uncertainty • How leaders can separate signal from noise and move beyond black-and-white thinking • Why helping others doesn't mean owning their decisions for them • The rescuer archetype and how high performers can fall into “urgency addiction” • What horses can teach us about emotional awareness, trust, and leadership Whether you are navigating a major transition, making a difficult decision, leading a team, or simply trying to become more aware of how you show up in the world, Steve Miska offers a powerful reminder: you may never feel completely ready-- and you don't have to. Readiness can come from staying curious, embracing uncertainty, and being willing to act with enough clarity to take the next step. Listen now and ask yourself: Am I waiting for certainty when I already have enough clarity to move? About the guest: Steve Miska is currently on what he and his team refer to as the Wrangling & Writing 2026 Horse Farm Sabbatical. He shares writing about horses and lifts stories about hidden gems in communities around the country. He served twenty-five years in the Army, including three combat deployments to Iraq and service in the White House as Director for Iraq on the National Security Council. Most recently, he led the Department of Veterans Affairs' implementation of the PACT Act, the largest expansion of veteran healthcare in over a generation. During the Afghanistan withdrawal, Steve stood up a team in Los Angeles that assisted hundreds of nonprofits and other veteran advocates to get their trusted partners out of Taliban violence. He plans to continue his self-directed equine therapy mission, writing about veterans returning from conflict zones, processing those experiences, and seeking to understand the deep divisions tearing at the social fabric of the United States and humanity. Connect with Steve Miska: Substack: https://substack.com/@wranglingandwriting  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wranglingandwriting/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/steve-miska/  Book: https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B094MS98BJ?ccs_id=0a7b6741-645c-4133-a7cc-85e0ee68889c  Send us Fan MailSupport the showConnect with Steve MellorStay connected and keep growing with Steve:LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/steve-mellor-cc/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/coachstevemellorBook Steve to speak at your next event → www.stevemellorspeaks.comSupport the GrowthReady Podcast by leaving a 5-star rating → Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/growthready-podcast/id1406082163Connect with GrowthReadyJoin the community and keep your growth journey going:LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/wearegrowthready/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/growthreadypodcast/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/growthreadywithcoachstevemellorOfficial Website - https://growthready.com/----This podcast was produced on Riverside and released via ...

Joanna Coles and David Rothkopf dive into Donald Trump's bizarre trip to Ireland, from his increasingly public reliance on aide Natalie Harp to his stunning comments about a united Ireland, before turning to the explosive new revelations surrounding Don Jr.'s Kremlin-linked wedding. Rothkopf traces the Trump family's decades-long connections to Russian money, boxing, oligarchs, and corruption, arguing that the same forces shaping the president today have been there all along. They also take a look at Trump's enormous new White House ballroom, the latest battle over the Kennedy Center, and his embrace of what Rothkopf calls a “Doomsday President” agenda—from AI and climate change to pandemics and nuclear weapons. But as the midterms approach, there may finally be a reason for optimism, with a new generation of Democrats—including Georgia Senate candidate Jon Ossoff—offering a potential path out of the Trump era. #ad Get 15% off OneSkin with the code BEAST at https://www.oneskin.co/BEAST   #oneskinpod  #ad Unlock your best hair & skin with @iRestorelaser and HUGE savings on iRESTORE with code DAILYBEAST  at https://irestore.com/DAILYBEAST ! #irestorepod Learn more about your ad choices.

The co-author of the signature book inside Trump 2.0 says the media only knows 5% of what is happening inside the administration—particularly when it comes to national security, the money-making, and the self-dealing. Jonathan does have new reporting about how the administration keeps pretending that our military is not running low on long-range missiles. In reality, the war is costing us a month's worth of Patriots almost every day. Plus: Stephen Miller has become the White House's resident kingmaker, why Trump is turbocharged on AI, and some contentious moments when Tim and Jonathan discuss how to characterize JD's divergent private and public posturing on the war.Jonathan Swan joins Tim Miller.show notes: Jonathan's “Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump” The Bulwark's campaign to help the Haitian community of Springfield Closing Song - MJ Lenderman - She's Leaving You Get 15% off OneSkin with the code BULWARK at https://www.oneskin.co/BULWARK#oneskinpod Bulwark LIVE: Benefit for SpringfieldSome moments require you to step up.
