Left-Wing Techies Expose Terrifying Threat of A.I.
"Talking about a presentation made at the Aspen Institute Aspen Ideas Festival. A few disclosures. The Aspen Institute is very left -wing. It was, used to be centrist, now it's very left -wing. The Aspen Ideas Festival is very left -wing. The presenters that I'm focusing on, Aza Raskin and Tristan Harris, are very left -wing. Both of them are 39 and 40 or 40 and 39 respectively. Tristan went to Stanford and got a BS and Aza went to University of Chicago and got a BS. That's it. They are not lawyers. They have no advanced degrees. They are successful techies who lived the Silicon Valley life and now want to guide you into artificial intelligence and its dangers. They reflect the progressive ideology that expertise ought to make all policy and that civic society leaderships, which is a shorthand way of saying us and our buddies in Silicon Valley and the people who fund us and George Soros and the left, all ought to run everything. Trust us. And I don't. And I want you to know, I still, though, think you ought to watch the AI dilemma. Because what they do very well is tell you where we are with artificial intelligence and why it is such a threat. It's a nuclear warhead level threat because its power is exponentially growing at an exponential rate. So two becomes four, four becomes 16, 16 becomes whatever that is, 164. It's not growing at a 2x or a 3x. They say 10 times, 10 times, but it means exponential growth.

How Woke Liberals Ruined Aspen With Glenn Beaton
"Welcome to the program. Hi, Charlie. How are you? I'm doing well. So Glenn, I've been visiting Aspen for quite some time for people that have not been to Aspen. It is as close to heaven on earth in the summer, as you can get to. And that's one of the reasons why it has been so attractive to not just the billionaires, but the billionaires of the billionaires, the plutocrats of the plutocrats. Tell us about how Aspen used to be and what these people have done to it. Well, Aspen has a long and very interesting history. You know, it started as a silver mine town in the 1880s, 1870s. And it had its boom for a while. And at one point it was supplying one 6th of the country's silver supply, and one 16th of the world's silver supply. It was huge. They had electric lights. They had a Charlie down Main Street. It was really quite an advanced place for the time. Of course, the silver bus came. And they became virtually a ghost town. And they went through the quiet years up to the 30s and the early 40s. And then something quite amazing happened. A prominent wealthy industrialist out of Chicago called Walter peppy and his wife, Elizabeth, got enamored by the place, moved there, and drew with them all these Chicago connections. And they got acquainted with veterans of the tenth mountain division. The World War II skiing outdoorsy mountaineering division. Who were familiar with Aspen because they had trained nearby. So they saw Aspen. They saw the snow, they saw the beauty. They had a vision for it. And so this industrialist with his money and the tenth mountain people with their expertise and their attitude and their ambition started Aspen, we founded Aspen as a ski resort. And it quickly became sort of an intellectual retreat of these people were really very intellectual. Friends with mordor Adler and they started the Aspen institute in 1949. It took off. And it was wildly successful for a while. They had all kinds of terrific stuff going on there. They started the Aspen institute, the aspirin music festival, which is still in existence. The ideas festival came a little bit later. The place really became kind of like an Athens of the west or a Chicago in the rockies. It was tremendously successful and a wonderful place. It all kind of went to hell in the 60s when the Hollywood types and the drug types and Hunter S. Thompson types moved to town and dragged it down.

"Time I was here, I was at the Aspen institute, and I know there's some people here who were part of organizing that, where with glorious the fun, we talked about what is happening in this region and what's happening in our country and in the world on this issue. And there were young leaders there. Well, I met with before I went on stage and I said, tell me how you're talking with your peers. How are you experiencing this issue? And they hit me to something and a phrase that I had not heard before. They said, they talked about climate anxiety. Climate anxiety. The emotional, the psychological, the mental toll. That the knowledge about this crisis is taking on our young people. So climate anxiety is what they're talking about. They started with global cooling, then global warming. Now it's climate anxiety following climate change, Gregory Wright stone is a geologist and the executive director of the CO2 coalition and he's with us to talk about this. He's also the bestselling author of inconvenient facts the science that Al Gore doesn't want you to know. Gregory rhinestone welcomes it a program. Oh, very good. And I am your counselor on climate anxiety. And I will count. Through this, what, in fact, we put a billboard up on the Pennsylvania turnpike some 60,000 people last year went through it every day. And it said, sleep well, there is no climate crisis. And what we do, the CO2 coalition is some 125 of the top scientists in the world, the disagree with this notion of the so called climate consensus of man-made catastrophic warming. And what we find are the science, the facts and the data tell us that, in fact, earth ecosystems are thriving and prospering in the human condition and humanity or benefiting from modest forming an increased CO2. We have a story and it's very, very well backed up with science facts and data of a prospering plan. Of the humanity this prospering because of this. And what we do is celebrate the increase of CO2 and its many benefits. And as you know, if you remember back to middle school, you probably did science fair projects. You probably put a green bean or something and a little start from couple in the window. And you played it in a group and it was you learned about photosynthesis. And you learned that water, sunlight, and carbon dioxide are all equal contributors to the growth of plants and what we're seeing is that the increase of CO2 that we've seen since the industrial revolution is just turbocharging plant growth from the near polar regions to the equator, almost every ecosystem on earth. Has been benefiting from increasing carbon dioxide. And this is the demon molecule that they're preaching against. They're saying that we call it the miracle molecule, carbon dioxide. They're calling it the demon molecule. Because they

"A new release of the Twitter files that's just come out from journalist Matt taibbi, Matt taibbi is also the journalist who along with the Michael shellenberger testified before the House in a widely seen hearing. And this one is a really important one. It's called the censorship industrial complex. I looked in The New York Times and a couple of other major newspapers to see the coverage of this Twitter files, no coverage at all. No mention of it. And so that in itself is very telling and I think the reason is that The New York Times, along with a number of other news organizations are part, a part unbelievably of this censorship industrial, complex. Now, taibbi goes on to talk about how there is this censorship system, a kind of octopus that involves the government, but it also involves industry leaders. It involves nonprofits, and so, and this is not just a case where these people all sort of Dawson, suggestions to Twitter or to Facebook or to Google, there's a formal system of meetings. And a formal portal is established for thousands. I mean, long lists of people to be reported and for spreadsheets of thousands and cumulatively hundreds of thousands of names. One of these groups takes credit for getting nearly 22 million tweets labeled in the run up to the 2020 election. So we're talking about a massive censorship operation, one that is really quite unprecedented, even in the days of Soviet censorship, it's not clear that censorship had this kind of reach, in part, perhaps because of the limits of technology. One can assume that Chinese have a censorship program that rivals or exceeds this, but we are now close to the top of the list.

Mike Morello, WTO P news. A mystery involving a 1962 newspaper photo that captured an important moment in Virginia history has been solved. It's a story you're hearing only on WTO.

Researcher Chris Williams wanted to know who the black student at Maury's school was. First student to desegregate it was a young man by the name of Robert Christian. He was 12 years old.

"Yeah. And I really learned more about the fiduciary responsibility, all the moral responsibility, all the ethical responsibilities that being on a board has. And I knew it, but I didn't really know it. And my strategic leadership class was, it was so helpful to me because I was having some frustrations as we evolved and grew. And we grew towards this model. You know, I would call it in the beginning, we were more of an external organization with lots of events and lots of publicity. And to pull back and to almost like turtle in and just become a more internal organization where we are just really sort of thinking and doing and keeping our heads down. You know, that caused a lot of confusion, I think, for the our donors, our individual donors, like I said earlier. And I'm so close to the work that I wasn't understanding. Like, how could you not want to help fathers? How could you not understand what fathers mean to a family? And it wasn't fair of me. And I really learned a lot about loss in that strategic leadership class. And the financial management class just gave me such an overwhelming sense of appreciation and love and gratitude for Catherine our CEO. And for our financial team and for the people on our board who oversee all of our financials as well. I just, yeah, I was really blown away by my policy class and what it takes to, you know, I did a whole study on child child support reform in Texas because that's something that we're really trying to make an impact with. Yeah, we work with the Aspen institute on that. And I don't know. I just, it was a transformative experience. Yeah, my guess is that you also had a very interesting cohort of folks who were in the program with you. And I bet they were also teachers and to your teachers and students, concurrently. They were just some of the most extraordinary people. And I will say it was during a period of time right after the election, pre 2020 election, and to go through that period of time and obviously during COVID, to go through a moment in our country's history with these exceptional people will was really got me through it. So like learning got me through it and this group of people in my cohort got me through it and I was just made a better person I think by every single one of the 35 people in my cohort. And you know, we all got to study good plus together. They were just so impressed with Katherine and our team and they just loved this organization and felt really privileged to have gotten to know the inner workings of it and that was really that was really fun for me and also eye opening to kind of be an outsider too. And see it through their eyes. And so it helped us in many ways. You know, you discovered something in the pandemic that I believe is true about our society and about the nonprofit sector. I am often people who are sort of looking at the glasses half empty will say, we have a dearth of leadership in our country, and they're looking at that with a pretty narrow lens, right? And I mean, a pretty visible lens, but a pretty narrow lens. And you, with your during the pandemic with your 35, me with my clients and my thousands of leaders of small nonprofits in my online membership site.

There's an example of someone who's just brain melted down, right?

Put that aside what i do see is. I'm just very discouraged. Because so you talk about where you know conservatives go to be heard and you talk about the issues that they latch onto so they ended up latching onto masks. And if you're like me and and you now feel alienated from that side. I find it hard to have empathy. I try you are better. You're keyed into you empathize more than i do. And you look at it and you see that next level and you say okay. This may be a superficial issue. But there's this underlying feeling of being out of power. And i get that but i ended up really and i'm trying. Their people are not trying and they just latch onto the simple. They look at the supervision. Religious look look the rights gone crazy. They're looking at you know they're latching onto these dumb issues. We don't have to listen to them and that's not actually a an entirely crazy reaction either like people.

Find that connection. I i feel like it's just whether it'd be better interviewer. Not i feel way more connected so i really appreciate that i mean joanna. You have so many amazing takeaways lessons already. I'm wondering out of mentors like you've mentioned a few who is less than left the most lasting impact on you. Oh wow well. I think it started with my father who really enabled me to believe that. I could be anything i mean. Parents say that to their kids. But my dad was the one who said you're but you're going to have to work at it. You can be anything you want to be really going to have to work at it and you're going to have to be willing to take critique and critical advice in it. We talked about sports or in sports with the coach. Coach doesn't say that was great. You're doing really well. But they tell you what you're doing wrong and what you need to do better and it's it's almost like tough love feedback. I end. I think i've sought that throughout my life. Starting so it started with my family moved on to when i was coached email as a competitive athlete and on and then the people i think ann richards was probably. I was so fortunate. It's room. I henry crown fellowship at the aspen institute to have her as my mentor and an was the first elected female governor of texas. She is what who said George bush was born with a silver foot in his mouth anyway. She was very funny but she said she really instilled a lot in the taught me so much about the dynamics of power when someone has power how others tried to take power. She was not nurturing. I there was a time. I was going through an interesting struggle. And she i called her. She said buck up. Stop complaining. get tough. You need to understand that the reason this is happening is based on where you set and others will try to take that from you. Just know that's happening and deal with that And her words and she always used to say to me. Just do it. You know if you sit on a playground and watch abu-jamal's with kids climbing on things. Most of the moms are telling them to be careful to stop. They're putting dampers on their explanation and their drive and she said i'd want to sit on the playground and say try to get to the top of that jungle gym. Go for it. Just do it. She said if we instilled that indicates more think about what they could achieve and take on and those words just always resonated with me. That reminds me of a story. So jeff bezos recently announced. He he's going to be stepping down from amazon. Pretty sure it was from his mom. There was a quote. I think it was his His grandfather lost his thumb in an accident and his mom says. I'd rather have a son without thumb than one who's unwilling to try. I probably butchered that quote but you can kind of see got out there. You've gotta try. You got to explore that. Curiosity is so important. I can't not bring up what you brought. What an was saying about around the dynamics of power. Anything else in that that she taught you. That's just really interesting.

"Which is the most difficult right now? It's difficult. No, I do think that the I think the degree to which capital markets is still in the thrall of shareholder primacy is kind of a simple way to measure and one that from which they benefit tremendously. If they're right, I think that's still a conundrum. I think we hear the intentions of business that you know their CEO pay is is anchored for the large public companies there. Stock price is the center of their pay package. And so they're internally conflicted about these trade offs where I'm sorry It's 90% 95% of profits have been sent to shareholders of the last decade.

How The Biden Administration Can Tackle America's Longest War
"Administration is reviewing its options in many areas of foreign policy, including Afghanistan. It is America's longest war and in a deal with the Taliban. Last year, the Trump Administration agreed to withdraw U. S troops by May, but The new administration says the Taliban is not keeping its end of the bargain, hinting that U. S troops will likely stay longer. NPR's Michele Kelemen reports a former U. S government and U. N expert on Afghanistan, Rina Amiri knows that Americans are tired of fighting endless wars. Now we're trying to win the peace. But she says the Trump administration left a complicated hand. Amiri, now with New York University, says the U. S emboldened the Taliban. By negotiating the withdrawal schedule and keeping to it even as violent spite and Afghan peace talks faltered. And now what we have the situation where the Taliban feels very much they have won this war that they're winning this war that the peace agreement is simply a cover for withdrawal for the U. S. The U. S still has 2500 troops in Afghanistan under the deal with the Taliban, they're supposed to be gone a few months from now. But Biden's national security advisor Jake Sullivan, says the administration is taking a hard look at whether the Taliban are meeting their commitments to break ties with terrorists, reduce violence and negotiate in a serious way with the Afghan government. And in that context, we make decisions and now our force posture and our diplomatic strategy going forward. That's welcome news to Afghan President Ashraf Ghani. He told the Aspen Institute last week that he expects a U. S team in Kabul soon, and he's gotten good signals from Secretary of State Tony Blinken. A promised me robust diplomacy in the region. Full coordination with us in a focus on ending 40 years of violence, the bidet administration may be promising too much, though Laurel Miller of the International Crisis Group says it's signaling that it wants to keep some US troops in Afghanistan for counterterrorism purposes and wants a peace deal that protects the democratic and human rights gains of the past two decades. Those are all perfectly fine and understandable things to be saying Again in the very first days of the administration, but ultimately you can't have all of the above. Miller says The Biden administration will have to prioritize. There cannot be both a negotiated peace and keeping some troops even a small number in Afghanistan for counterterrorism or any other purposes Because the Taliban won't agree to that there can't be a negotiated peace and No change in the nature of the system of governance and and writes in Afghanistan. U. S officials have long said they would protect women's rights in Afghanistan. Rina Amiri says not following through on that could send the wrong signal to Islamist groups elsewhere, so she thinks the U. S needs to get the diplomacy, right. And she'd like to see a third party, perhaps from the U. N manage the peace process. It will also be more helpful for the U. S. Because right now, everything right on the U. S. You need a manager of this peace process Right now. We do not have a manager. A State Department spokesperson says the U. S will support the Afghan peace process with a quote senior and robust American diplomatic effort. Trump Administration's envoy, Zalmay Khalilzad, remains on the job. Even a secretary Blinken builds out the team. Michele Kelemen. NPR NEWS Washington

Among the executive orders he's signed since arriving in the Oval Office for are aimed at advancing racial equity and tribal sovereignty. Earlier this week, we spoke with the Brookings Institution's Andre Perry about one of those initiatives. Tackling discriminatory federal housing policies. I do think this is a start. You have to start somewhere you start with HUD and hopefully mo mentum from the public. Can encourage these other areas to make change. We called on three experts to address the other pillars of the Biden plan, reaffirming tribal sovereignty, ending the federal government's use of private prisons and condemning discrimination, bias and hate crimes against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. Ethel Branches. A former attorney general for the Navajo Nation. Paul Butler, is a former prosecutor and author and professor at Georgetown Law and from Citizen University and the Aspen Institute. Eric Liu. I started off by asking. Will these executive orders make a difference? Ethel Branch spoke first. Absolutely. It sends a strong message. Using the language of equity is very hopeful. It's a needed reaffirm INTs to Indian country that this administration's engagement with Indian nations will be very different from the last administration and also signals that some of the things that were under way under the Obama administration will be put back into place. But I think this is just a start. If President Biden really wants to reaffirm tribal sovereignty we need to start talking about Lifting the federal chains essentially that restrict tries from controlling their territory and governing with respect to their people. And Eric Liu, you have written about the experience of Chinese American families. I wonder what you make of this order fighting xenophobia against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. I think President Trump created a frame of permission. That it was okay to be casually racist toward Asian Americans and people of Asian descent. And, as with so much of President Trump's racism he could say, at least on the surface, plausibly. Oh, I didn't mean that that's not meant to be that you're being too sensitive. But I think anybody of actual Asian descent could feel the vibe of disrespect and menace and the form of disrespect comes in this way in particular. Which is You look Asian. I don't really care whether you're Asian, American or Asian from Asia. I'm going to see you as a threat. I'm going to see you as a problem. I'm going to see his escape goat. President Biden simply by changing the tone simply by refusing to speak in that way, makes a big difference. I want to turn to the other executive order ending the federal government's use of private prisons. Paul Butler, your professor, of course at Georgetown Law, You're a former prosecutor that you've been critical of the criminal justice system. Many aspects of it. What are your thoughts on that executive order and its effectiveness? I didn't roll back some of President Trump administration's most egregious policies like abolishing Trump 17 76 Commission, which tried to get schools to teach American history. Discounting the role of white supremacy. President Obama had banned federal private prisons. Trump reinstated them. And now Biden has re banned them. It's a decent but limited start. For example, Biden's executive order does not immediately close one prison. It says that when a contract with a private prison comes up, it should not be renewed. And it only applies to prisons not to immigration detention centers. The bigger problem is mass incarceration, and Biden's executive order doesn't make a dent in that. Only about 10% of all inmates are housed in federal prisons. Not one of those gets to go home. We've heard a lot about tone about undoing things that the Trump administration has done. About sort of reframing in each of these cases, but what needs to happen next? You talk about the president as POTUS. But there is another POTUS that's at play here, and that's the people of the United States. The great responsibility is on us. We the people us as citizens to take responsibility where we live in our own communities in our own institutions. For starting the same conversations naming these same ills, reading the map of power and decoding. How are we going to hold up our corner? How we're going to do our part to unwind these challenges and problems? This is Paul. I would push back from that orbit. The New York Times described the movement for Black lives is the most successful social justice movement in the history of this country. There was one day this past summer where there were demonstrations and 550 different cities. Citizens have been demanding change, so we've been on the case. And now that we have a sympathetic person in the Oval Office, I think it's time for us to demand that that person act. So I say every week US racial justice advocates should be asking the White House But what have you done for us lately? What have you done for us this week? If fighting does want to make the biggest bull transformative moves to advance racial equity and his equity in this country, Um, for all American citizens, I think we really need to be talking about moving from that civil rights framework to human rights framework. Everybody should be able to eat three meals a day. You know, everybody should have a right to have a job or whatever you know, a third of Navajo and Hopi lack indoor plumbing and direct access to clean drinking water in the face of covert. That's been devastating because it makes constant hand washing difficult and makes it hard to stay home because people have to travel to a windmill and and Halder water. Um or seek water in neighboring communities where the covert restrictions or not. Very strictly imposed. So you know, I really love to see President Biden start talking about human rights and setting that minimum standard for all Americans. This is Paul. The concern is that's a color blind approach that doesn't directly attack white supremacy. So human rights, not civil rights Reminds me of President Obama's color blind approach. He would say that a rising tide lifts all boats, so if you make things better for everybody than people of color will also benefit. The rising tide only helps if you have a boat and too many people of color, including native people, that African American people never had a boat in the first place. The point is that mass incarceration, police violence, the disproportion impact of the cove it pandemic on communities of color segregated in substandard housing.

What Trump Might Do With His Remaining Weeks In Office
"Decisions for their last weeks in office, writes my guest journalist Garrett Graff, he says, so imagine what might happen in a post election period when Donald Trump, a president who has spent four years demonstrating his lack of interest in norms and practices of a democracy. Retains all the powers and authority of the presidency and officially has nothing left to lose. In an article on Political magazine graph lays out some of the norm busting actions Trump may take in the days remaining in this presidency graph wrote that article just before the election. Since then, President Trump has broken other norms by refusing to concede the election. Making baseless allegations of widespread voter fraud and pursuing legal challenges. Trump is also standing in the way of a smooth transition by blocking President elect Biden's access to the funding allocated for the transition process and blocking access to classified information, such as the presidential Daily briefing. It was supposed to be granted to a president elect. Paragraph also wrote a recent article in Politico magazine about what Trump might do. After leaving the White House. Graff is a former editor of Politico magazine and is a contributor to wired. He's written books about Robert Mueller's 10 Years FBI director A history of the secret bunkers built to protect government leaders in case of nuclear attack and an aural history of 9 11. He's also the director of the cyber initiative at the Aspen Institute. Our interview was recorded yesterday. Paragraph Welcome back to fresh air. Thanks so much for having me, Terry. Let's start with a couple of the what you consider most norm breaking things President Trump has done so far to interfere with the transfer of power. The biggest one has to just be the simple fact that he has not yet accepted the projected winner of the election being Joe Biden. This is A very different situation than we faced in 2000 with the Florida recount. The state victories across the country are definitive, their decisive And Joe Biden looks like he's actually on his way to a comfortable victory in the electoral College and the fact that now more than a week after the election Donald Trump has not yet accepted that he's not yet given permission for Republican leaders to accept that and not yet given permission for the U. S government to accept that is deeply worrisome. There's a second level of his norm, breaking that we are already beginning to see which is one of the things that I had speculated about before the election. Which is widespread firings of senior government officials housecleaning if you will, among top national security and intelligence leaders. In a way that is worrisome from the National Security's perspective amid a transition. We've never seen a president in a lame duck period like this. Fire. For instance, the defense secretary and this is injecting Ah lot of uncertainty and instability into some very key American institutions at a moment where you are already facing uncertainty and instability and made a presidential transition. Attorney General William Barr has given federal prosecutor's approval to pursue allegations of quote voter tabulation irregularities in certain cases before results are certified. But, he added. In terms of investigating voter fraud, species speculative, fanciful of far fetched claim should not be a basis for initiating federal enquiries. So what does that mean? Because you could argue that all of Trump's claims about voter fraud, our species speculator, fanciful or far fetched? Yeah. And on the one hand, it seems a little too early to know whether this bar memo is just sort of bluster and performative Tioga give Donald Trump a little bit of cover as he Carries out these, askew said. Sort of species, the court filings and court arguments around the country around voter fraud, all of which have been turned aside unanimously by courts across the country state after state. And there is indeed no evidence of any widespread fraud and certainly no evidence of any fraud anywhere close to the level of the victories that we are seeing. Joe Biden pile up in states like Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia. At the same time, though, there is reason to be worried that Bill bars memo might beam or than just hot air just a few hours after Hey, issued that memo. We saw the head of the election crimes unit at the Justice Department resigned in protest on But that's a That's a worry some statement by someone who is presumably in a good position to know what Bill Bar might be trying to do with that memo. But we haven't yet seen any evidence of that bar memo appearing in court across the country in investigations carried out by the federal government. Marquess for the

Shopping for Health Care: How Consumer Can Use Purchasing Power to Get What They Need with Deb Gordon
"Welcome back to the outcomes rockets Sal Marquez here, and they have the privilege of hosting for the Second Time Miss Deb Gordon, she's spent her career trying to level the playing field for health care consumers haven't listened to the first podcasts with DAB. You've gotta go listen to it. It's all about the consumer and healthcare. She's all about you. She's all about your employees and how you can get the most for your healthcare dollar. She's the author of the healthcare consumers manifesto how to get the most for your money based on research she conducted as a senior fellow. At the Harvard Kennedy, School Center for Business and government she's a former health insurance executive and health care CEO. She's an aspen. Institute health innovators fellow and an Eisenhower fellow, her research and commentaries have appeared in USA Today, the Harvard Business Review blog, and on network open. She holds a B A in bioethics from Brown University and an MBA with distinction from Harvard Business School and I'm excited to dive into her work again around the consumer's manifesto deb such a privilege to have you back on. Hey, saw. Thanks so for having me back. Yeah, absolutely. So you've been busy. I have been busy. That's true. I spent probably a year doing research for this book and another year writing a not exactly that split but I spend a good two years of my life producing this baby and it is exciting to come back and tell you about it because when we first met, I was just starting to think about it. I was just starting the research and listening to what consumers had to say. So I'm excited to be back to talk more about it the same here and so dab you know obviously. So listeners goal isn't a DEB's podcast. This you get a deeper appreciation about her time as an insurance executive and what has inspired her work and focus in the consumer sphere but a little bit about the book. Dab. You know what's the focus area? What are the takeaways at a high level? Sure. So I wrote the book mainly to expose the human side of healthcare costs like what is really going on for people when we go to the doctor or were phasing an insurance decision and we have to pay. For it and I was really taken with the fact that so many people of all walks of life come to me and say because I used to work health insurance they know I know something about it and they just say what should I do and you know the most extraordinary people who've accomplished so much in their lives walk into my office at the Kennedy School at Harvard and alike, what health insurance should I buy and I. It just dawned on me that if people like that need help and it's Legitimate that they do. It's very confusing and can be overwhelming like what chance is you know everyone else have of making sense of these decisions. So that's the motivation that I I brought into the book and then in doing my research for it, I heard story after story of consumer. So real people who are trying to get value for their healthcare dollars whether they use those kind of terms or not I say like shopping for healthcare is a thing we could do people don't use those words and they don't even. Know what I'm talking about. But you know I interviewed people about their experiences spending money on healthcare and what I learned is that although it feels really foreign to put that into shopping terms or you know we know how to buy things but we don't know how to shop around in healthcare and. It doesn't mean we're not able to. That's I think the biggest takeaway is that we do actually have more power than we might even realize and that the first step is to just ask the question, what if what, if I could get what I needed? What do I need? Why do I need this? Is there an alternative and just almost like re imagine ourselves as a customer when it comes to healthcare this is Dr is nervous and unhappy by the way, but it's not a slight against doctors. It's just you know what I think consumers need for whatever reason we need permission almost to think of ourselves as entitled to get value for our healthcare dollars.

The pandemic may cause 40 million Americans to lose their homes
"About 1/3 of all Americans rent their homes, and a new report for the Aspen Institute shows the pandemic related unemployment crisis could mean eviction. For more than 40% of those households without additional relief measures. Roz Brown reports. Nevada is behind only Alabama, where renters are the most vulnerable to eviction. Other top states for vulnerable renters include Oklahoma, Louisiana and New York City Co author Sam Gillman says the loss of housing often ushers in serious legal consequences and suffering for families. It leads to Children not being able to go to school, homelessness, depression and diseases of despair. An eviction offends everything in a family's life. Nevada has created a rant relief program. But the state's $30 million in assistance relies entirely on federal funds and stimulus talks have stalled in Congress. President Donald Trump circumventing Congress on Saturday by signing executive orders, he says, will deliver aid to Americans, including an eviction moratorium, But it's not clear if their constitutional or substantive, the report shows. A 37% of Nevada renters are at risk of eviction by the end of the year. Visions don't change, Gillman says. Some renters will be able to borrow money or work something out with their landlord. But eventually those options will be exhausted. And at that point, that's when this pick your natural disaster metaphor. Eviction. Avalanche tsunami tornado will continue to start carrying through and accelerating through our communities, according to Gilman. It's not just runners who will be affected, but also landlord's. Those mom and pop landlords are also severely at risk in this rental housing crisis, because if the Rangers can't pay rent The landlord's can't pay their mortgages and we could see the acceleration of a rental housing crisis into a foreclosure crisis.

The Breakdown with Shaun King
I will not exchange one brutal oppressor for another
"I don't say this from a place of privilege is quite the opposite. It comes from a real place of pain but Mike Bloomberg is the line that I simply will not cross. I can't here's what you may not know and if you are a supporter of Mike Bloomberg. I'm assuming you don't know this Mike. Bloomberg directly caused real pain real trauma in harm to people that I know personally people that I love and call my friend. That's not rhetoric. I'm telling you that. His decisions his policies his personal directives ruined the actual lives of countless men. Women boys girls and families all over New York City in many of them will never recover. Here's the thing. Because social media did not exist on the scale that it exists today during most of his time as mayor of New York from two thousand and two until two thousand thirteen with his final year in office being the literal year before the Black Lives Matter Movement began. Bloomberg narrowly escaped the nationwide public accountability and scrutiny. But he no doubt would have received in any subsequent year after he left office and as a result. New Yorkers particularly black and Brown New Yorkers have something akin to a collective P. T. S. D. over the harmony cost and. I don't want what I'm about to tell you to be a twenty reasons not to vote for Bloomberg type of peace. Those things out there. I just need you to understand the size scope scale in vile nature of the twelve years where Bloomberg personally oversaw in turbo charged a citywide stop and Frisk policy. Let me break down Britain epic. Bring it bears. What Mike Bloomberg did in his twelve years in office as mayor of New York City was the closest thing the United States has got to Jim Crow Apartheid South Africa in our lifetime. Now Bloomberg will tell you that. Hey everything I did. Existed before him that would be like saying prisons existed before the explosion of mass incarceration from nineteen seventy five until today yeah. Prisons existed but on a scale that was on par with the rest of the developed. Worl see from eighteen. Seventy to nineteen seventy the United States consistently incarcerated fewer than two hundred fifty thousand people per year. Today we incarcerate over two point five million people on any given day and over ten million people per year it's exploded so yes prisons existed before nineteen seventy yes a policy of stop and Frisk existed before Bloomberg took office. But he exploded. That's what he did. When he became mayor he grew it and expanded exponentially. Just give me a minute to explain it to you. In the twelve years Bloomberg was in office he ordered the NYPD. I need you to understand these figures. He ordered the NYPD to stop and Frisk people almost exclusively black and brown people a staggering five million eighty one thousand six hundred eighty nine times. Are you listening to me? And those are just stops. That police officers actually documented. Some people believe the actual numbers could be twice as high completely innocent. People were strip searched. Punched kicked slammed beaten groped. Tasers choked in shot in these stops drugs were planted. People were framed in tens of thousands of people. Every single year or arrested sent to rikers for crimes. They did not commit then eventually released without ever even going to court. Some people spent days in jail where they lost their jobs. Single parents lost custody of their kids. Others they did and spend days in rikers but they spend weeks months and even years for crimes they didn't commit. And while they were there in rikers like a young man a teenage boy named Khalif browder. They were beaten and tortured by both guards and inmates alike forced into solitary confinement for years on end then simply released without even an explanation. When Khalif Browder was released he was broken and took his own life. Experts say tens of thousands of other innocent men women and children were either cokes by prosecutors and police enter taking plea deals so that they could simply be released for time served or just chose to take the deals simply so that they could escape the madness of the jail only to be released from rikers back into Bloomberg's New York where they were routinely stopped and frisked again and again and again some individuals were stopped and frisked by the NYPD. Over a hundred different times. Can you imagine now when I say over a hundred times? I'm not using that number one hundred as a euphemism for a lot. I mean they were literally in stopped literally searched and stopped by the NYPD over one hundred times as parents and activists and organizers and preachers in mental health experts in justice reform advocates in constitutional lawyers all begged and pleaded with Bloomberg to stop. He were a few people met with him personally demanding that he stop begging that he stopped. They marched and protested in New York dozens of times. They interrupted his events in some of the smartest most persistent legal groups in the nation sued the Bloomberg Administration over and over and over again to stop these unlawful practices in a federal judge that Dean Bloomberg's stop and Frisk policies that deemed that they were indeed a modern day apartheid for black and Brown New Yorkers. She found that countless constitutional violations existed as she ordered an immediate halt to what he had done for nearly twelve years and even then he fought back against it and refuse to immediately implement the charges and changes rather that she demanded now when Bloomberg left office and his stop and Frisk was no longer a policy. Crime actually plummeted year after year after year. His racist policies that he said he had in place to make New York. Safer didn't make New York safer at all. New York got safer after stop and Frisk ended. All he had done was caused real terror to millions and millions of people and after this man Left Office. Bloomberg bragged about the policy and defended it with all his might. That's why in Twenty fifteen. He asked the staff at the SNOOTY Aspen Institute to turn off the cameras when he spoke there in bragged about how police withrow black and brown boys against the walls. All in the name of making New York City safer. He knew what he was saying was ugly. Have you heard that audio? Those kids that he's talking about and their mothers and fathers and siblings were not just humiliated by such an awful practice it shattered many of them and Bloomberg literally defended all of this after the policy had stopped after it was ruled unconstitutional. He defended it deep into twenty nineteen right up until he decided to run for president. And here's the thing. I have dedicated my life to fighting back against Donald Trump and his policies. I have campaign to oust horrible politicians and have helped elect bold promising new ones all over the country. I've endangered my family in pursuit of tracking down and bringing White Supremacist Neo Nazis. To justice so yes. Donald Trump is our mortal enemy and I work directly with the people in communities that his evil has impacted the most he must be defeated and he can be. I will not support one oppressor to another one. I want to

What U.S. Religious Liberty Means — Especially When It Comes To Islam
"The trump administration is made religious liberty a central theme of this presidency for example the US department of health and Human Services now has a conscience and religious freedom division the president has champion judges who have ruled in favor of people seeking religious exemptions to laws and just last month the White House strengthen protections for kids who want to pray at school as mood and is part of my dean is part of the inclusive America project at the Aspen Institute she is also the author of a book on religious liberty called when Islam is not a religion she told me that president trump's focus marks a change from previous administrations there has been just a more pronounced public affirmation of the positive role of religion in American society the need to protect it often we hear from various government officials whether be Mike Pompeii or president trump or US Attorney General bill Barr or even just sessions when he announced religious liberty task force of the department justice is constant refrain about religion is under threat by secularization threatening forces but on on the left to the protection of religion and the protection of our religious freedom that has become a constant refrain what communities have benefited from the administration's attention to the issue or their religious communities that have essentially been left out yeah so we can then candidate Ted Cruz said that it was he called it the religious liberty of election and he said that it was ultimately about like the person who would be able to defend religious liberty the vast and president trump and Ben Carson I'm ricksantorum all got on the bandwagon said absolutely this is about religious liberty and we're going to protect religious liberty for elected president but at the same time as they were making the statement there also competing with each other to determine who could be the most discriminatory against Muslims whether it be present from suggestions about creating a Muslim registry or about banning Muslims from U. S. which as we know when he has before with that as well or be Ted Cruz's suggestion that we surveil Muslim neighborhoods in the aftermath he brought that up in the aftermath of a terrorist incident or ricksantorum saying that Islam absolutely was different from Christianity fee so that is not ours protected under the first amendment as Christianity is and so there was like this obvious hypocrisy so what you saw was a creation of a hierarchy of faith even within this world of law to me yes I even beyond just the creation of a hierarchy I actually saw denial of a song even being a religion that had access through religious freedom another suggestion that present from brought up during the campaign was to close down mosques when you create such as Turk disparity between types of things that you're willing to protect for quote unquote religion and then say that the most basic of religious freedom rights are not afforded to a particular group of people you know how exactly are you explaining that what's the logic there and it didn't take much to figure out what that is because unfortunately increasingly common talking point among many people in the White House and in that sort of larger network is that Islam is not a religion it is a dangerous political ideology and therefore Muslims don't have religious freedom rights can you think of a policy directive from the trump administration that on paper looks good for religious liberties but in reality has really only been and that positive for evangelical Christians more or less just one group well I think that even in the space of Christianity increasingly you hear this I'll cry from our progressive Christians that they feel that the way that Christianity is being defined and champion tends to only happen from this particular angle and of course a constant concern in the context of specifically the sexuality related culture wars is that the rights of LGBT individuals including all your between the visuals of faith or people who hold different positions on abortion contraception from real religious standpoint are being undermined and to that end I think that is has to come from an understanding that religious liberty is not in some way just to safeguard for traditional religious beliefs it is a secret just for beliefs of a wide diversity anywhere they fall on the political spectrum and again the diverse religious spectrum and so what I hope for and I do see some movement on this for more progressive religious liberty groups to bring to the fore more progressive religious claims and say look religious liberty is for this too my concern is that if the rhetoric in the op in the enforcement of some of these policies continues to be only it's thought through in the frame of traditional religious beliefs then there will be other types of religious claims I won't be as protected I don't really have a concrete examples are not being protected but I do see this increasing sort of urgency from our progressive groups to be like what we have these claims to and because religious liberty protects the range and doesn't privilege one particular interpretation or another that are religious claims are also protected husband Jean thank you so much for speaking with us thank you as a dean is part of the inclusive America project at the aspen institute and the author of the book when Islam is not a

Bolton pessimistic on North Korea
"Well the president's former national security adviser John Bolton giving a pessimistic outlook on the prospects for getting North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons marking his first public appearance since he was ousted from his position earlier this year there are things we should look to and have serious discussions about. one is the possibility limited though it may be a regime change in North Korea. second. we should look at and discuss with China and we should have done it long ago aiming toward the reunification of the peninsula under freely elected government like that in South Korea. and third if you believe and you may not. that it is unacceptable for North Korea to have nuclear weapons at some point. military force has to be an option now this is obviously the most controversial subject and many people say it's just unimaginable. unimaginable that you would use military force. so let me quote to you. the words of. general Joe John done for the chairman the joint chiefs of staff on his last day I might say is chairman he's done an outstanding job he said this. to the Aspen Institute salmon are in the summer of twenty eighteen. on this question of what's unimaginable. general Dunford said but as I've told my counterparts both friend and foe it is not unimaginable to have military options to respond to north Korea's nuclear capability. what is unimaginable to me. is allowing the capability to allow nuclear weapons to land in Denver Colorado. my job will be to develop military options to make sure that doesn't happen thank general Dunford was completely correct that warning from John Bolton who for awhile served as the president's national security adviser being for being forced out his first public comments before the center for strategic and International Studies CSIS here in Washington
