Biden: Debt deal 'very close' even as two sides far apart on work requirements for food aid
"President Biden continues to say a deal on the debt limit is very close. House negotiators left the capitol in the early hours of Saturday without a debt limit deal with The White House. They're expected to return later in the day in hopes of reaching an agreement over the holiday weekend. It appears as though work requirements for federal food aid recipients have emerged as a final sticking point as president Joe Biden says he thinks a deal is very close. In the meantime treasury secretary Janet Yellen says, the deadline for a potentially catastrophic default has been pushed to June 5th from an earlier estimate of June 1st. I'm surely Adler

Women Have the Buying & Boycott Power Against Target
"And I want you to understand why target decided to have an emergency meeting It wasn't because they thought they got it wrong It wasn't because they're going to stop doing not just a month of gay pride but basically two months right Because it's not even gay Pride Month yet and they've already got their massive square footage of gay pride propaganda for your family to indoctrinate your kids with out there We're talking probably hundreds and hundreds of thousands of square feet is what they have dedicated to gay Pride Month at target stores It's not about selling products It's about indoctrinating your children It's about turning your children against your beliefs I post this up on Instagram If you want to see it by the way I put a ton of what target was selling on Instagram You can follow me Ben Ferguson podcast there but I said men did our part with Bud Light We made it socially unacceptable for in man culture to drink woke beer The target battle will only be one with strong moms standing up for their kids And that's the truth because the majority of people that go to target are not men It's women Women did you know this And we had this debate the other day and there was a million statistics back it up But did you know that women are actually the number one spenders in families Makes sense They're buying they have more buying power than the men do Yes men will buy big things sure We'll buy a car Right We'll do things like that But women are the predominant spenders of the dollars that come into a family household I'm not criticizing women for that either I want to make that clear but women traditionally especially when they have kids the ones are spending the predominant amount of money that comes in the house Meaning women have far more buying power Or that also translates into boycotting power than any man does

Morton Klein: Biden Administration Is Redefining 'Antisemitism'
"The United States came out just a few hours ago With their program of how to fight Jew hatred anti semitism Instead of using the normal respected accepted definition for anti semitism called the Ira definition Instead added to it as a valuable tool to other definitions by nexus and others these other definitions that they're now promoting as valuable and important say if you oppose the Jewish State of Israel it's a very existence That's okay That's not anti semitic If you treat Israel differently from any other country that's not anti semitic At all which means the United Nations for example which has overwhelming number of critical criticisms of countries overwhelmingly it's against Israel But that wouldn't be as I said this is according to the new definition of Biden When a journalist is killed in Israel embedded journalists journalists are killed in more situations all the time No country has ever condemned for it It happens When Israel has a journalist killed the whole world starts condemning Israel which of course is anti semitism They're being treated differently So this report allows the George Soros the anti Israel politicians to no longer be allowed to be called anti semitic that allows the campus programs on college campuses that promotes boycotting in Israel Now it's no longer an antisemitism So we can't fight him as readily This is a very dangerous definition that he's put out And it's interesting He put it out two hours before this very holy day tonight culture viewers

Sam Altman's Crypto Project Worldcoin Raises $115M
"We love talking about WorldCoin. It's really surging into the headlines in recent weeks, largely around the hype and interest relating to artificial intelligence, AI. Now, word of this raise had been leaked a little bit. According to sources, this is going to be in the works and enough. Today, they announced that they've raised $115 million in a funding round led by Blockchain Capital and involving A16Z, Bain, Capital Crypto and others. Let's talk about WorldCoin. I think this is less a bet on the value of another coin and more a bet on the importance of systems that may counteract the rise of AI. That's very much a big part of what is being announced here by Blockchain Capital in a post written by Spencer Bogart. He talks about this proof of personhood concept as being the real secret sauce behind this project as the AI rises up. I'm going to toss this one straight to Jen for her initial thoughts. WorldCoin certainly been in the news quite a bit of late. What do you make of its most recent back end? $115 million. This is crazy. I feel like we haven't spoken about a raise this big. In at least a year, maybe we have all the days just kind of blend together for me. But Zach, you're right. I think about two weeks ago, we spoke about this new product that they launched that offered up a solution for authenticating humans in the age of AI through this biometric retina scanning orb. I think it's really interesting how they've been able to pull their narrative together. Now they're offering a solution to an issue that we've been discussing as AI accelerates faster and faster. They also have this crypto wallet that's part of their product that's supposed to be this really stripped down, much simpler way to hold your coins and store your assets. I think that they've developed a really interesting narrative, especially given what's going on in the news right now with wallets and AI. They have some big backers here. They have A16Z. I think I saw Bank Capital there. I think that they probably were able to craft a really compelling story, get that in front of VCs and raise this money. I think it's a strong and good bet for VCs who are waiting out the bear

Vivek Ramaswamy: The Threat of Artificial Intelligence
"You have you're in these meetings and these rooms what can we expect from a president Rama Swami about AI or do you not see it as a threat I do see it as a threat I do see it as a threat especially as it applies to human responses to AI So one of the greatest threats to AI then comes from actually within each of us as human beings So I'm a tennis fan and professional tenants when they got rid of line judges The first generation of AI that made the line calls you could see it with your eyes Sometimes it would be wrong but people stopped arguing about it because if it was the AI you can't argue Well now if the AI tells you how you're supposed to behave in response to the next COVID pandemic or in response to climate change will people have a natural bad habit of bending the need to that form of authority That's one of the underappreciated risks of AI as the human response to a chat GPT will now tell us on a given day How would I deal with it So here's the dilemma China will not adopt any constraints that we ourselves don't adopt So the analogy I see in the right framework then is think about it like gain of function research Gain of function research was we banded in this country but rogue actors like Anthony Fauci had it funded in places like China anyway and that led to a global pandemic but still the U.S. suffered from So with AI we can't make that same mistake We need to treat this as sort of a nuclear non proliferation framework to say to China that we're not going to constrain ourselves unless you constrain yourself but we're leading the way and in the same way we should have made sure gain of function research was banned everywhere rather than just funded through the backdoor in China I want to make sure the same thing doesn't happen with respect to AI policy either So the first thing is I would say is China has to play by the same rules that we do But second is we bring the nuclear non proliferation framework and monitoring to actually the development of potentially harmful and uncontrollable AI And at a high level that's what I would that's the way I would see this

"Is just from part one of the series okay so that is quite a tease for everything else. Hit us with the newest revelations. So part two focuses on instagram which facebook owns for the past three years. The company has been conducting studies into how instagram affects. Its millions of young users. According to the those studies say the app is harmful for a sizeable chunk of them especially teen girls a notable quote from the internal documents that stood out to me. We make body image issues worse for one in three teen girls. And here's a stat from a study of us and uk teens conducted by facebook more than forty percent of instagram users. Who reported feeling quote unquote unattractive said the feeling began on the ab and about a quarter of the teens who reported feeling quote unquote. Not good enough said. The feeling also started on the app. Yeah i mean. That is a significant amount of stats. We have for this all pointing in the wrong direction. Geez that's awful the thing to keep in mind though and the reason why this is all interesting because kubrick has publicly downplayed the health effects of social media and especially facebook and instagram. But his only internal research says that some of the issues we all know to be true with social media are specific to instagram. Like an explorer page for example who's algorithm only shows me absurdly fit half naked men while stuffing my face full of cold stone creamery and jumping to put my jeans as a result of all this reporting senators richard blumenthal and marsha blackburn of the commerce committee announced yesterday an investigation into facebook's awareness of the harm that instagram can cause. Yeah they are trying to break the guinness book of world records for how many investigations they're facing at once. Okay then there is actually a part three of the journals report. What did that piece focus on that. Facebook did try at one point to make itself a healthier platform for users but instead it became an angrier place internal company documents. Show that a major shift. In facebook's news feed algorithm in twenty. Eighteen basically backfired. The goal was to boost what they call meaningful social interactions between friends and family but it ended up being a system that rewarded outrage sensationalism which publishers and political parties worldwide exploited the facebook employees. Alerting your managers to these concerns early on in the process of change was only made in the spring of twenty twenty and only specifically regarding civic and health content when employees made an appeal to zuckerberg to extend such changes. He said he didn't want to pursue it if it reduced user engagement because obviously that's how they keep the lights on over there now. I'm sure there.

"Wake up to this moment and meet this moment. Frankly we're gonna have to stories about the fires in the west ongoing dangerous flooding in central china and more on the climate crisis enveloping our world in our show notes but akilah. Let's turn to a story that you've been following cova did the delta variant and masks. Yeah so you know on and on and on so future was right in that song mask off. We went from mass. Gonna fucking mask off right back to mask on and pass on again and again and again. It's a following. Los angeles county's lead more than half a dozen counties in california are recommending that even vaccinated individuals wearing masks indoors in public spaces to stop the spread of this new dominant delta variant. And it's not just happening on the west coast in arkansas and missouri which become hot spots for this newest cove. Strain local officials are considering returned to masking. Yeah this does not seem to be moving in the right direction and we talked last week about the current and former surgeon general's recommending the return of the mass. Not to be confused with son of mask. The jamie kennedy but another group is recommending mass for the upcoming school year. So what is that particular part of this about okay. So on monday. The american academy of pediatrics recommended that for in person learning this coming school year all children over the age of to wear a mask regardless of vaccination status and that's more aggressive than the cdc's suggested guidelines released almost two weeks ago as a refresher. The cdc did say that unvaccinated people should be wearing masks in schools but left it up to individual districts to decide what rules to create for their students. And you talked about that with education secretary. Miguel cardona just last week but we can see how clearly stupid that guidance is given that the honor system has not worked in this country if one hundred percent of the people. Not wearing masks in stores and movie theaters are actually vaccinated. We probably wouldn't be in the mess that we're in and to reiterate the mess we're in in the past week. Corona virus cases have spiked some seventy percent in the us. So things really aren't looking good and some people are calling on the cdc to change course in come out with stronger restrictions for everyone will link to one of those stories in our show notes. Yeah and so. It seems like we're seeing early. Signs that mass rules might return more places that had actually relaxed them out of the summer but akilah one more sign of how serious cases becoming the country backtracking maybe from conservatives. Yeah so some people at fox news have finally changed their tune. Monday nights sean. Hannity went against aggrieved fried. Fish air tucker. Carlson told people to get vaccinated and to take the virus seriously. I personally don't believe that. They actually give a fuck if they killed their viewers but they do care about the economy tanking due to delta variant concerns and the almost inevitable wrongful death suits only spent hundreds of hours downplaying the severity of cova nineteen so if hannity is a broken clock consider this guidance from him being right one of two times a day. We'll keep you posted on any new guidance or mask mandates but that's the latest for now It's.

"Let's wrap up some headlines. Head lands south africa's experiencing widespread unrest following the detention of former president. Jacob zuma zuma arrested last week for refusing to us hint a corruption inquiry into his nine years of presidency his arrest sparked protests by his supporters. Which quickly grew into widespread unrest. Fueled by high unemployment and an economic crisis brought on by the pandemic seventy two people are confirmed. Dead from the unrest so far economic recovery in the country has been stunted by a third wave of kobe surges pushing even more of the already struggling population under the poverty line currently over half of the population is living in poverty. South africa's current president spoke earlier this week saying that the unrest reveals what they already knew that the levels of inequality and their society is unsustainable. President biden met with senate democrats yesterday after they agreed on a three point. Five trillion dollar infrastructure deal earlier this week. Six hundred billion dollars of the plan is going to go towards spending on new physical infrastructure. The measure also includes by priorities. That are not covered by bipartisan proposal. Such as childcare healthcare education and climate change democrats are hoping to pass this bill in the senate through reconciliation meaning. They won't need any republican votes for it to pass. They however do need all fifty democrats in the senate to agree on the proposal for that process to work in funding for the bill is gonna come from tax increases for the richest americans and businesses while prohibiting those increases for people making four hundred thousand or less year small businesses family farms as well. They're hoping to move forward with this bill before. Lawmakers sleeve for august recess happy. Nonbinary awareness week to all wad foods.

Who identifies nonbinary also identify as transgender which underscores the importance of trans representation. Shout out to m j rodriguez right now. Who was nominated for lead drama actress. Amy this week for her role in pose. Who cares for was the third season. It should have been for the first but that's making her the first transgender performer to receive an emmy nominee. A major acting category studies showing how common it is to identify as non binary. Come at a crucial time. Since many state lawmakers are passing anti trans and nonbinary youth legislation and blocking inclusive sex education in schools. That is the truth is also amazing in that little shop of horrors production in pasadena about that senate majority leader chuck schumer has always given off the mellow vibe of grandpa who fell asleep on the couch after dinner and now he wants to experience that state of mind he proposed legislation yesterday that with decriminalize marijuana at the federal level the bill would also implement federal taxes on. The pot industry's which should close to twenty billion in sales during two thousand twenty in a year when we were extremely focused on maintaining lung health but also we couldn't leave our homes and tv really did start to get boring. Of course the war on drugs has had devastating effects on poor communities in communities of color. So schumer's proposal. Has he restorative element here as well. It would expunge nonviolent marijuana related arrests and convictions for federal records in earmarked tax revenue for programs that would benefit affected communities the passage of schumer's draft. Bill is highly unlikely with the filibuster intact. Need we say it again. It would require the support of ten republican senators.

"Hey wad squad. So we've through a lot together in the past year and sometimes it's been really tough to keep our heads up but we wanted to wrap up the special edition of the pod by replaying one of our favourite interviews that really lifted our spirits sonic con. She's a student of public health at the university of arizona and she was one of the essential workers registering people when they arrive to get their vaccines. When we connected in march sauna talked about what the process was actually like and how fun it was to see. People relieved happy where on drive through vaccination on the mall and so people pull up and we have kind of perfected our process. So it's a minute thirty for the whole interaction for them to give us their license appointment confirmation pressed to look up for the actually give them the vaccine and have them like to observation. That whole process has gone to a minute thirty. Which is great that we're so fast. But because we like everyone wants to be really like chatty and tell you and i'm sure your experience so far has been took someone places to confirm their appointment and their date of birth and i thought it was their birthday so i like yelled up to the cars like hey how birthday and all the other cars started honking like. That's all vaccinators. All the scribes like everyone was just like yelling. Happy birthday to this guy who felt like he was in parade. He likes leaving with like. This is the best president. I could've got which was great and he was like. When can i start drinking. Can i start drinking in the observation area. Please drive home. I this point. Yeah he's like. I can't wait to have a jerk. We're like please that Yeah like other. I love when people come through with signs. That are like thank you. Healthcare workers which is pray I love asking people what they're opposed. Vaccination plans arm man when we were doing k. Through twelve teachers They like unanimously. Were like we cannot wait to be back in the classroom. And i can't wait to see like this one specific do that. So that was really. It's just a meaningful like it never gets old like my first person. I did like a thousand person that i did like. It's the same level of joy for each interaction. I mean do you encounter people who are hesitant Once they're there or do you encounter it in your life more generally like have you had people say like i'm not getting it. I'm scared The vaccine hesitancy is so interesting to me and again like this is like area of research too. So i'm i'm really interested in it but for the most part people are so excited to get the vaccine For people that are hesitant it's Not for like most of the reasons you would think like. No one who's hesitant is like. I hate all vaccines. I think there's a microchip in like that's not really what's driving hesitancy at the moment. What's driving has this. I think is more like a lack of information about and people just want to have like a conversation with somebody they trust about it and usually like once you have that one on one conversation when somebody like they are waiting to decide to get a vaccine anything and maybe this is an obvious question but what made you wanna volunteer for this specific role. Yeah there isn't terribly. My dad like this is public health and action. This is like why got in public health. It's incredible to be able to see like this like large of a public health effort. Take place the obvious answer is it is so refreshing to leave my house strangers. Be you know in front of the computer all day I mean. I'm still in front of a computer but like the computers outside so exactly like seeing people like strangers has been wonderful interacting with people. it's so wonderful and it's like the happiest honor right. Yeah definitely and also just like it's so refreshing and so rewarding to be able to help any small way they've been working on contact tracing in case investigation like for a full year now and those conversations are so difficult to have with people who have covid and when you're trying to contact tracing they're so sick and you know they've lost a loved one to covert or their whole family is sick like those conversations are so hard to have in there so draining on like our whole team like we always talk about like man. I had like ten. Really rough phone calls today So to be able to like after a full year of thought every day to be able to go out in in onto the mall and like help people get back needed amazing that was on a con a public health student at the university of arizona who we talked to in march offers.
