While most college freshmen spend their year shopping around courses and picking their majors, Theo Baker (Theo Baker) had a bit more on his plate. As a reporter for the Stanford Daily, Theo’s investigation into research misconduct brought about the resignation of Stanford President Marc Tessier-Lavigne. Baker chronicles that investigation and a secretive culture of access, money and Big Tech influence on campus in his new book, “How to Rule the World: An Education in Power at Stanford University.” @IAmAmnaNawaz spoke with him about the book recently.

How did a professor build a billion-dollar battery company? Stanford professor Yi Cui invented silicon nanowire technology that doubles the energy density of lithium-ion batteries, making electric vehicles more practical by extending their range. The 2007 breakthrough caught the attention of Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who visited Cui's Stanford lab to discuss the technology. “Usually, it takes the founders – the inventors – really strong faith to say, ‘I believe this is so important,’” said Cui in Episode 4 of the Stanford Ecopreneurship Podcast. Cui went on to found Amprius, which went public in 2022, and several other cleantech companies including air filtration startup 4C Air. In conversation with host Sam McClure, Cui discusses what makes a great CEO, managing a 40-person research lab while running multiple companies, and his current roles leading Stanford Ecopreneurship and the Stanford Sustainability Accelerator.

The importance of deep reading and critical thinking as our brains adapt to digital distractions and information overload is the subject of this year’s Princeton Pre-read book, “Reader, Come Home: The Reading Brain in a Digital World” by Maryanne Wolf. The Pre-read is a Princeton tradition started by President Eisgruber, who introduces first-year students to intellectual life on campus by selecting a book to read and discuss together. "'Reader, Come Home' addresses beautifully and persuasively what may be the single most important question for incoming students at Princeton University, why should we continue to read long, demanding books when short summaries are easily obtained?"

[WATCH] FAMILY OF THE YOUNG MEN ILLEGALLY SENT TO RUSSIA/UKRAINE WAR. “Our brothers arrived around 5pm and only then we were elated that they have arrived safely after the past couple of months of anxiety. The past couple of days the government has been keeping us informed on the developments and we thought it important that we come here today and show gratitude for the work that the ANC government has done in bringing our brothers home. We have heard of the tough negotiations that took place and we would also like the opportunity to thank the President and his organisation.

Elizabeth Holmes is a winner. She is being abused in prison for never giving up. We need to live in a world where optimism wins. Stanford is one of the brightest beacons of optimism. "The wind of freedom blows" is the motto. It's why I chose Stanford over Berkeley and MIT. Elizabeth is in a cage in hell. She has more value to provide the world outside of prison. Theranos victims are not being helped with her in prison. I am falling on my sword for this as Ben Horowitz told me to do when I met with him in his office after I saved his life with my AI skin cancer detection. He seems to have forgotten about this. But I'm not a martyr Ben. I'm a winner. We need to get Elizabeth, a daughter, a wife, a mother of two children out of the hell she's in and back to her family. I don't know what to do about this. I have reached out to literally everyone. Maybe you can help Stanford. Thank you for giving me an amazing education. I am grateful.

Peter Robinson (Peter Robinson) speaks with Jay Bhattacharya, a former Stanford professor and epidemiologist, and the newly appointed director of the National Institutes of Health. Once labeled a "fringe epidemiologist" by the previous administration at NIH, he now leads the world's largest biomedical research agency and its $50 billion annual budget. Their conversation explores the structural flaws in America's public health institutions, including the replication crisis, the culture of scientific risk aversion, and the NIH's growing failure to address the rise of chronic disease. Dr. Bhattacharya outlines his vision for reform—emphasizing transparency, innovation, and restoring public trust in science. He also addresses the politics of scientific funding, the need for better vaccine evaluation standards, and the rationale behind the administration's new restrictions on gain-of-function research. It is a candid and thoughtful discussion with a scientist now tasked with reshaping the very system that once attacked him. Watch the full episode of Uncommon Knowledge on X:

President Trump just told the UN General Assembly that he personally ENDED seven wars around the world. But that wasn’t the punchline… The real fireworks came when he turned and called out the UN to their faces for not lifting a finger to help. This might go down as one of the most legendary moments of Trump’s presidency. “I ended seven wars and in all cases they were raging with countless thousands of people being killed.” “This includes Cambodia and Thailand, Kosovo and Serbia. The Congo and Rwanda. A vicious, violent war that was Pakistan and India, Israel and Iran. Egypt and Ethiopia and Armenia and Azerbaijan. It included all of them.” “No president or prime minister, and for that matter, no other country has ever done anything close to that. And I did it in just seven months.” “It’s never happened before. There’s never been anything like that. Very honored to have done it.” “It’s too bad that I had to do these things instead of the United Nations doing them.” “And sadly, in all cases, the United Nations did not even try to help in any of them. I ended seven wars, dealt with the leaders of each and every one of these countries, and never even received a phone call from the United Nations offering to help in finalizing the deal.” “All I got from the United Nations was an escalator that, on the way up, stopped right in the middle… and then a teleprompter that didn’t work.” Absolutely savage...and the room knew it.

Karoline Leavitt shuts down MSNBC’s Garrett Haake after he suggested President Trump simply can’t let go of the 2020 election. Haake tried to frame Trump’s upcoming address as relitigating the past, but Leavitt called him and the media out for prejudging the speech before hearing a single word of it. HAAKE: “Why is the president unable to let this go?” LEAVITT: “First of all, Garrett, I think part of the problem is that the media has refused to acknowledge that tens of millions of Americans across the country share the concerns of this president about the sanctity of our elections.” “And your premise of your question, you’re jumping ahead to a conclusion in this speech before even hearing it yourself.” “I think that everyone should tune in tonight, including the people in this room, and you should report on the president’s speech and the findings that he’s going to reveal in this speech with a little bit of honesty and a little bit of integrity because it does…it will shock you if you have an honest eye listening to the president tonight and everything he’s saying will be backed by, by facts and by evidence that will be provided this evening.” “And again, Garrett, I think all Americans, Democrats Republicans should agree that we are the country in the history of the world.” “We should have the safest and most secure elections in the history of the world, and what the president will be speaking about tonight will show you that perhaps that is not the case.” “And we need to make some adjustments moving forward. Including the SAVE America Act, as Rachel pointed out, is a key legislative priority for this president on Capitol Hill and he wants to see all Senators and members of Congress voting in favor of the SAVE America Act…”

Former Prime Minister of Israel Ehud Olmert: ‘With the US-Iran agreement, we are back to SQUARE ONE.’ ‘What I can say about Netanyahu is that the greatest failure in influencing Trump started much earlier. Not in 2026 when he possibly convinced Trump to jointly attack Iran, but when he convinced Trump in 2018 to withdraw from the then-signed agreement between President Obama and the Iranians about the nuclear program of Iran. Because what happened is that until then, Iran didn’t enrich uranium since they signed the agreement with Obama. And when America withdrew from that agreement, they started rapidly to enrich uranium up to the level of 60%, which brought them quite close to the possibility of building an atomic bomb. And that has, in a way, created the almost inevitable circumstances to launch this military attack on February of 26th. And the bottom line after this four month process is that we came back to where it started. There is an agreement between America and Iran, after a long period of closing the Strait of Hormuz, which caused serious economic damage to the international community. And we are with an agreement perhaps weaker than the one that was signed by President Obama. I don’t remember that President Obama promised to build up a fund of $300 billion to compensate Iran for the losses of the war, and I don’t know what is the difference in terms of inspecting and supervising the nuclear program other than what was until then. The Obama agreement was also based on the supervision and inspection of the nuclear program by the IAEA, the International Atomic Agency in Vienna. And that’s more or less what they agreed. Now, there is nothing about the ballistic missiles. There is nothing about, of course, the change of regime in Iran. So, actually we are back into square one.’ —Former Prime Minister of Israel Ehud Olmert joins us for Saturday’s episode of Going Underground Don’t miss it, follow our Rumble channel👇

How The U.S. Bankrupted The British Empire - The Secret Bill for WWII. We are taught that Britain "won" World War II. Financially, they lost everything. While the history books focus on the victory in 1945, they rarely mention the secret economic collapse that followed. On December 31, 2006-more than 60 years after the war ended-the British government quietly made a final wire transfer of $83 million to the United States. This was the last installment of the Anglo-American Loan, a desperate $4.33 billion lifeline negotiated by John Maynard Keynes to save a bankrupt nation from starvation. The "Special Relationship" wasn't free. The abrupt end of Lend-Lease, the forced convertibility of the Sterling, and the "dollar gap" destroyed the British Empire's financial dominance and ushered in decades of austerity. To understand why India was bled dry of its resources and finances and left bankrupt, you have to watch this documentary in full and then I will post part two.

SPOTLIGHT: Ariel University Why this spotlight matters. In the heartland of Israel, Ariel University has quietly become a working model of coexistence, innovation, and shared future. Its campus brings together Jews, Christians, Muslims, Arabs, and students from across Israel and abroad, not as a slogan, but as daily reality. Its engineering and medical schools are training the next generation of professionals shaping Israel’s economy and healthcare system. Its international programs are opening the door for students from around the world to engage not only in the classroom, but with the real-world challenges and opportunities of the region. When people of every background converge around education, research, and innovation, politics fades and real life takes over. That is why Ariel University is worth highlighting.

Few public intellectuals have done more to warn Americans about how the coddling of children produces intolerant adults than Jonathan Haidt and Greg Lukianoff. Their 2018 book, The Coddling of the American Mind, argued that helicopter parenting, the decline of unsupervised play, and the rise of campus safetyism had set up a generation for failure. They warned that universities were teaching students three Great Untruths: that hardship makes you weaker, that you should always trust your feelings, and that life is a battle between good people and evil people. Haidt, a social psychologist and professor at NYU's Stern School of Business, has spent more than a decade documenting the link between fragility and authoritarianism. Lukianoff, the president of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, took over the group in 2006 and has spent two decades documenting censorship on American campuses. FIRE today operates with an annual budget above $32 million and a staff of 120, including roughly 20 lawyers. For exactly that reason, it was dispiriting to watch students at Haidt’s own university enact the behavior he and Lukianoff have spent a decade trying to combat. Graduates booed Haidt as NYU President Linda Mills welcomed him to the stage at Yankee Stadium on May 14, 2026. About three dozen students walked out of the venue while he spoke. The booing followed a May 5 open letter from the Executive Committee of the NYU Student Government Assembly, which called Haidt’s selection “deeply unsettling” and demanded that the administration reconsider its decision. Most revealingly, the committee complained that “many students have reported feelings of disappointment, disgust, unenthusiasm, defeat, and embarrassment,” language that mirrors the therapeutic vocabulary Haidt and Lukianoff diagnosed as the central pathology in Coddling.

Few public intellectuals have done more to warn Americans about how the coddling of children produces intolerant adults than Jonathan Haidt and Greg Lukianoff. Their 2018 book, The Coddling of the American Mind, argued that helicopter parenting, the decline of unsupervised play, and the rise of campus safetyism had set up a generation for failure. They warned that universities were teaching students three Great Untruths: that hardship makes you weaker, that you should always trust your feelings, and that life is a battle between good people and evil people. Haidt, a social psychologist and professor at NYU's Stern School of Business, has spent more than a decade documenting the link between fragility and authoritarianism. Lukianoff, the president of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, took over the group in 2006 and has spent two decades documenting censorship on American campuses. FIRE today operates with an annual budget above $32 million and a staff of 120, including roughly 20 lawyers. For exactly that reason, it was dispiriting to watch students at Haidt’s own university enact the behavior he and Lukianoff have spent a decade trying to combat. Graduates booed Haidt as NYU President Linda Mills welcomed him to the stage at Yankee Stadium on May 14, 2026. About three dozen students walked out of the venue while he spoke.

What can we expect from this week's Putin–Trump summit in Alaska? Hoover Institution Director Condoleezza Rice—no stranger to engaging in statecraft with Russia's enigmatic president—joins GoodFellows regulars Niall Ferguson, John Cochrane, and H.R. McMaster for a spirited conversation moderated by Bill Whalen. They discuss Vladimir Putin's motives (is the summit only for domestic Russian consumption?), how to characterize the present US–Sino competition (Secretary Rice tossing cold water on "Cold War 2"), and the sensibility of the Trump administration's threats to withhold federal research funds from leading universities in order to change campus cultures. Following that, Sir Niall recounts his recent sit-down with Argentinian president Javier Milei (is that nation's "vibe shift" real or contrived?); and tariff-agnostic John Cochrane assesses the progress of the Trump administration's ever-evolving trade strategy. Finally, the three panelists discuss the recent 80th anniversary of the only wartime use of atomic weapons and the importance of its annual remembrance. Watch the full conversation on X:
