On Wednesday President Trump signed an executive order to rescind all funds from federally funded education programs that allow men to participate in women’s sports or share their private spaces! This marks a major victory for women’s rights and the fundamental reality that there are only two sexes: male and female. What needs to happen next in the fight against gender ideology?

The growing coalition of Americans concerned about our country’s health presents a unique opportunity to confront the misalignment between our medical, health, agricultural systems, and the American people. A critical examination of corporate influence, government regulatory agencies, and the pharmaceutical industry reveals systemic issues contributing to our country’s health crisis.
Join us for an in-depth discussion of these critical issues as experts explore the origin of these challenges, the failed role of our public health systems, and the need for a comprehensive bipartisan effort to restore the good life and help Americans live the healthy life again.

The Power Hour is a weekly podcast that discusses the most interesting energy and environmental policy issues of the day with top national experts.  Join Jack and his guests today for an extremely interesting and informative conversation about a part of the nuclear industry that you might not know about: medical and industrial isotopes.  The United States once led the world in the production of these critical elements but has fallen way behind in recent decades.  Our guests today not only have kept the U.S. on the map with these life saving technologies but are working towards making the U.S. a leader once again.  Matt Sanford is the executive director at the University of Missouri Research Reactor and Michael Hoehn is the program director for the NextGen MURR.  In a nutshell, Matt oversees the production of life saving medical isotopes and other important industrial isotopes at the University of Missouri and Michael is in charge of getting a new reactor built to expand that capacity.  This is important work on it own, but that the University of Missouri is one of an handful of labs in the U.S. doing this work makes their work critical.  You will learn how these isotopes are produced, distributed and used in this podcast. Our promise to you is that you will be smarter after listening to this one.   One more thing.  Jack has a new book out called Nuclear Revolution, which you can get here here.  If you want to be the smartest person at the dinner party and put those anti-nuclear people in their place, you want Nuclear Revolution .  Join the conversation at  [email protected]!  Thank you for listening and please don’t forget to subscribe and help us to spread the word.

On July 17, 2024, the White House Council on Environmental Quality released a landmark report on new digital tools for modernizing infrastructure permitting and environmental review. The report, which was mandated by the Fiscal Responsibility Act, builds on efforts of the Trump administration to modernize permitting under the National Environmental Policy Act. The report tackles the obstacles created by the lack of transparency in the federal permitting process which needlessly increases the risk to investors while obscuring accountability in the democratic process.
Harmonizing and expanding data collection by agencies and making that data publicly accessible in a central repository has been a bipartisan commitment of Congress and presidents going back to the administration of George W. Bush. This report is an important step forward in that effort.
During this event, our panel of experts will expound on the necessity of these changes, what the new digital tools add to the permitting process, and what we can expect from the permitting process going forward.
