Yuval Noah Harari on Donald Trump’s Core Delusion

What are the conditions that enable a country to become great — or great again? The Trump administration — and other right-wing movements in other countries — offers a vision of greatness based on power and domination abroad, and a mix of shared national and religious stories at home. And that vision is clearly appealing to a lot of people. Liberals in the U.S. and elsewhere have been struggling to tell a story that can compete. What story would Yuval Noah Harari tell? One of the through lines of Harari’s best-selling books — “Sapiens,” “Homo Deus,” “Nexus” — is the huge role that stories play in shaping the arc of history, driving humans to cooperate on a grand scale to achieve great things, or divide violently against one another. So I wanted to ask him about the stories that the U.S. and Israel, in particular, seem to have embraced right now. What does history tell us about the power of this story? And why does the liberal story seem so weak right now? Mentioned: Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari Homo Deus by Yuval Noah Harari Unstoppable Us, Volume 3 by Yuval Noah Harari “Understanding AI” by Timothy B. Lee Book Recommendations: The MANIAC by Benjamin Labatut Chimpanzee Politics by Frans de Waal Brave New World by Aldous Huxley Thoughts? Guest suggestions? Email us at ezrakleinshow@nytimes.com.

The one skill you need to succeed in your career in a turbulent world - by Adam Grant | from Radio Davos

"We don't live in a stable world anymore. We live in a rapidly changing, turbulent world. And in a dynamic environment, intelligence is not just your ability to think and learn, it's your capacity to rethink and unlearn." Adam Grant, organizational psychologist, podcaster, and author of the bestseller "Think Again", tells us why we are wrong in many of our assumptions about today's world, and why we would all benefit from tackling our own biases - not least the "I'm-not-biased" bias. And he explains why the wrong sorts of people too often get promoted or elected to positions of power. Adam spoke to Radio Davos at the World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting 2026 in Davos, Switzerland.

The Shift Episode 124: The Black Nobility with Ian Ferguson

In this episode of The Shift, host Doug McKenty discusses the concept of the Black Nobility with astrologer and podcaster Ian Ferguson. They take a deep dive into the theory that a lineage of very wealthy families originated in the Middle East, migrated to the Mediterranean, then remained in power long after the fall of the Roman Empire. Their reach extended into the royal families of Europe, and some speculate their power and wealth continue to manipulate world events in the modern age. Find out more about the work of Ian Ferguson by going to www.whitelotusoflight.com. As always, discover more about The Shift at www.theshiftnow.com. Thanks for listening!

How to speak up to anyone. Be unapologetically YOU.

In this episode, I dive into what it really means to speak your truth and own your voice, even when it’s uncomfortable. I’m sharing personal stories about finding the courage to say what I actually feel (in relationships, business, and online) and how doing that completely changed my life. We talk about healing, using your voice as your superpower, and letting go of that fear of judgment that keeps you small. I also open up about a recent karmic connection that pushed me to set stronger boundaries and taught me what authentic communication actually looks like. This one’s a vibe. It’s about being real, standing tall in your truth, and realizing your voice is the magnet for everything meant for you. 00:00 Intro: Finding Your Power00:27 Getting Over the Fear of Speaking Up01:37 Why Your Voice Matters03:05 Using Your Platform with Intention08:15 My Own Struggles and Growth13:33 A Karmic Connection and What It Taught Me16:17 Communication = Self-Respect28:56 Closing Thoughts: Be Loud. Be You. Always.

Ian Bremmer: Who Is Actually Running the World?

Political scientist and author Ian Bremmer joins Trevor and Eugene to break down a world that is starting to feel a lot less predictable. What happens when American influence is no longer the default and tech companies begin to rival governments in power? Together, they unpack what that shift looks like in real terms, why the old rules are no longer holding, and what it means to be heading toward a “G-Zero” world, where no single country is in charge.
