Lost Debate - Ep 59 | Biden v. Bezos, FL Education Wars, Another Supreme Court Bombshell, Fiscal Refugees

In this special episode, Ravi is once again outnumbered by two libertarian guest co-hosts: Reason Magazine writer Liz Wolfe and political commentator Stephen Kent. They discuss the feud between the White House and Jeff Bezos over gas prices and inflation. Then they turn to a controversial teacher’s training program in Florida that, some say, is infused with Christian and conservative ideology. The three hosts also weigh in on a recent ruling by the Supreme Court that some claim is more significant than the decision on abortion rights. Finally, Liz argues that cities like Austin and Miami, which have successfully lured away Californians, are at risk of replicating many of the Golden State’s flawed policies.

CoinDesk Podcast Network - CoinDesk Special: 2 Chainz on Music and NFTs

Blockchain technology has given musicians new opportunities to monetize their craft and engage with fans. Artists of all types have given NFTs a chance in hopes of finding a new revenue stream and a path to ownership – and encouraging audience growth.

2 Chainz is a Grammy award-winning rapper, serial entrepreneur, and investor in The Real U, a recording company based in Atlanta. Tyler Spalding is the founder and CEO of blockchain payments company Flexa. Together, they join “The Hash’s” Zack Seward to talk about how they are bridging the gap between music and NFTs.

This panel occurred on June 10, 2022, the second day of CoinDesk’s Consensus 2022 festival. Michael Casey, CoinDesk's chief content officer, does the introduction.

Honestly with Bari Weiss - The New Founders America Needs

There are nearly 4000 universities in the U.S.. Many of them have billions of dollars in endowments and histories that go back to well before the country's founding. So you'd be forgiven for thinking that it would be a bit ridiculous to try and compete with those Goliaths. 


But that's exactly what the new University of Austin or UATX is doing. The premise, of course, is simple, and it goes like this. While the brand name schools have the money, they no longer have the mission. They have fundamentally abandoned the point of the university, which is the pursuit of truth. The good people at UATX, where I'm proud to be on the board, are not waiting for the broken status quo to change. They're not sitting around criticizing or whining. They are doing. 


Just a few weeks ago, UATX opened its doors to its first students at its inaugural summer school. I was blown away by the students that I met there, and I was honored to lecture alongside teachers like Neil Ferguson, Kathleen Stock, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Rob Henderson and Thomas Chatterton Williams. And today I wanted to share with all of you the talk that I gave at the old parkland in Dallas to that first class of students. It's about the broken moment that we're in as a culture and a country, but more it's about what I think is required of us to meet this moment.

Headlines From The Times - The rise and fall of a Hollywood almost-was

Randall Emmett had built a career for himself in Hollywood over the past decade as a producer of schlocky action films featuring cameos of iconic actors like Bruce Willis and Al Pacino. But in recent years, he was at the cusp of finally gaining mainstream respect. He had a recurring role on the reality TV hit “Vanderpump Rules” and produced Martin Scorsese’s last two films. But a Times investigation found that multiple former assistants and people who worked for Emmett alleged improper behavior.

Today, we get into the rise and fall of Emmett, and what it says about the Hollywood of today. Read the full transcript here.

Host: Gustavo Arellano

Guests: L.A. Times corporate media reporter Meg James and L.A. Times senior entertainment writer Amy Kaufman

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S6 Bonus: Ben Turner, Verituity

Ben Turner's grandfathers were both an entreprenuer. One grandfather went to Cornell, but ended up buying a fishing boat and then eventually, a hardware store. His other grandfather started a grain elevator after WWII, followed by going into real estate. He learned to be blind to risk, which is important in starting something new. Outside of tech, he likes to do outdoor activities, like kayaking, mountain biking and trail running.

Ben was apart of a company called Network Solutions, and when they started that company, there wasn't the concept of a payment gateway. To make a solution work, you had many technical hurdles that existed. Two years ago, Ben started looking into how you solve this problem.

This is the creation story of Verituity.
