A highlight from GENC: Driving Social Impact Through Emerging Technologies | A Conversation with Laurie Keith, VP of The Ad Council
"To part be of this. Gen C is the generation of the new Internet. In Gen C, the C stands for crypto, but it also stands for creators, the connected consumer, and collectibles, both digital and physical with on -chain provenance. It stands for culture and characters, the ones we play in games and the companion ones that AI is building alongside us. It stands for community and digital citizenship, and the new set of transparent and trustless tools being built to the people who were raised on a different philosophy on how they look at money, how they look at identity, how they look at privacy, and how they look at the hybrid, digital, and physical spaces being built all around us. And finally, how they reimagine their relationships with the communities and companies they interact with. We focus on how brands, large and small, are building for these audiences. Welcome to Gen C. Avery, we are back. Last week we took off because of Fashion Week and scheduling. So happy to see you. I never like a week where I don't get to see you. So how are things? Things are great. It is back to school season, full in the swing. Summer's over. Labor Day's happened. Everything's happening all at once, as it always does towards the end of the year. You know, it's like a sprint between now and the holidays. How about for you? Yeah, you guys must be so busy, I'm sure. Yeah, it's pretty crazy. Got some travel coming up. As we all know, there's way too many conferences in crypto, and we seem to get involved in a lot of them, and some of them are amazing and great partners. But they're all over the world. Concord doesn't exist anymore. We've got to find ways to travel faster. My new thing is really wondering where the sub -four hour flight anywhere in the world is. Google Flights, man, can tell you anything. I love that. But I agree, the next emerging technology we need is teleportation. That would be very beneficial. We'll invest. So I know you were at the Roblox developer conference, was it, last week? RDC, is that what it stands for, by the way? It is. RDC, Roblox developer conference. Okay, cool. So I know you were there last week, and I want to hear your thoughts on it, but I also want to hear your thoughts on a story that I was reading at the beginning of the week, which I think came out of RDC, which was that the Roblox CEO was predicting that people are going to meet and start dating all because of Roblox, in addition to many other trends. Did you see any of these developers dating at the conference? I did. So this was my first RDC, and I went because I was interested to hear from the people who are really building and creating in this space. And as part of my job, I love to sit down with the people who are actually making this stuff happen, hear their stories, hear how they got interested in this, how their businesses work. And that was my sole objective at RDC. It wasn't like I was speaking, I was really just there to listen and learn. And I met with maybe 25 different game developers, teams, creators, influencers in the space, and asked them what motivates them to build on Roblox, how their virtual economies work, how they build their following, how they engage their community. And I learned a bunch of things. A couple of things that really stood out to me, though, is Roblox has a thriving creator economy. A lot of the folks that I was meeting with are coming from all across the world, and they're building their business on creating with their communities, building whether it's a game or an experience. And there were a number of different sort of Roblox creator economy initiatives that the team talked about rolling out between subscriptions and the expansion of their limited products, and also expansion of their communications products, which kind of ties into what you're talking about with dating. A big takeaway for me is also Roblox is looking to age up both as younger sort of gamers get older and stay on the platform longer and attracting an older crowd. Little known fact that I think nearly 40 % of Roblox users are 17 -plus, and Roblox will soon be rolling out features that verify your age and then enable things like dating experiences. So expect the We Met On Roblox coming up, and that's not too surprising. I did meet one couple who had met on Roblox there, but I've also met people who met on vFriends Discord and actually, fun fact, had the first ever known vFriends baby, this couple who met through vFriends and actually got married and had a baby, which is so nice. So people meet in these virtual online spaces like more and more, and Roblox is leaning into that and leaning into enabling that level of communication. So it might be surprising to some who think Roblox is just for kids and for this younger gen alpha audience, but the reality is 17 -plus folks are on Roblox, they're spending two hours a day, and of course they end up meeting people and falling in love as people do. So I, you know, had a ton of key takeaways, but those are two that really stood out to me. Creator economy is super real on Roblox, and it's not just for kids. And correct me if I'm wrong, they look at the creator economy not just being designers, but it's also game developers, it's people who are designing digital assets, both physical and virtual. I thought that was really interesting that one of the predictions was that there are going to be creators who actually sell more physical objects on Roblox, in essence like a Spotify that you still will get shipped to your house. It's bigger than I think we think for those of us who are not on day in and day out. I also sort of look at it a little bit, and again, correct me if this analogy is wrong, but I think about all the businesses that were built on top of Salesforce. Salesforce took away a lot of things that people were having barriers with in connecting with their customers, and Roblox, in essence, are building a tool set to connect with customers that are just connecting with them virtually, but that doesn't mean you can't have a real relationship with them. I think that's exactly right, and I think that we're also going to see an increasing number of brands and creators developing these digital -first products and experiences that might not need to have a physical twin. Right now, I still think we're in this place because our mindset is like, oh, there has to be a physical link, but does there have to be a physical link? I think that's something that we'll increasingly see sort of dividing. The thing that I still keep thinking about, which I don't think there's an answer, and there may not ever be an answer, but real life is still where we exist every day, Right. And I know that was a very deep, profound statement I just said. Really insightful.

Jack Posobiec Calls in From the NYC Courthouse
"Okay, we got Jack posobiec live on the ground in New York City right outside the courthouse. Trump is now in the courthouse, the arrest is happening. Jack posobiec if you can hear me, please take it away. Start riffing what's going on vibe on the ground, Jack posobiec. All right, Charlie, you can hear right now I'm not sure if you can it's being picked up by the microphone. Multiple helicopters overhead. We've got NYPD everywhere. The boys in blue keeping everyone safe. Hundreds of Trump supporters behind me over my right shoulder in the park, Concord, Bond park directly across the street, protesting this unconstitutional and unbelievable act and unprecedented act that's taking place just over my left shoulder here at the courthouse in Manhattan. Where DA Alvin Bragg is currently, as I speak, going through the arraignment of president Trump, the fingerprinting, we don't know yet whether or not there will be a mug shot. There's been some question as to whether or not that will begin. Then we are told that president Trump is planning or what they're planning to do is take him through the tombs, which is a series of underground tunnels that connect the civic center here in Manhattan. They'll be taking him through those same tombs like any other common criminal that will be then brought to the criminal courthouse there. He will face his arraignment at two 15 at that time. We will see what the conditions of his release will be. That's really where this big question is coming up of a gag order. Are they going to try to put a gag on the 45th president of the United States of America and try to deprive him of his First Amendment right not only to speak out against political injustice, but also to speak for the American people. And even just to be able to defend himself in the face of this absolute tyranny that we see going on here in the streets of New York.

John Zmirak: 'America Was Founded by Conspiracy Realists'
"The battles of Lexington and Concord, April, 1775, the British were marching to Lexington and Concord to take away the guns. Let's not forget about that. I usually do forget about that, John. So I'm really glad you framed it this way. Every government attempt to ban guns. We should treat as like Lexington and Concord. Every last one. The time to use your guns is on the people trying to come take them away because guess what? That's your last chance. The American colonists knew this. Well, they successfully fought the Revolutionary War. And they set up the Articles of Confederation with the first system of government. It was actually too weak. Then they convened a constitutional convention and they set up our system of government, which people like James Madison craft and Alexander Hamilton, the federalist papers that chronicle how it was worked out. They developed our system of government based on a careful study of where historical regimes had gone wrong, where monarchies had gone wrong, where democracy had gone wrong. And they purposely set up a government that would frustrate itself that would trip over its own feet with the president pulled against the Congress and pulled against the courts. They were a modern terms paranoid about the abuse of power. They set up each branch of government to frustrate the other two so that they would be intention at all times so that nobody could become a dictator.

"It's likely June 14th, 1775, delegates officially representing 12 of the 13 colonists, all but Georgia. Are gathered in the Pennsylvania state House is assembly room. Seated in Windsor chairs amid a sea of tables draped in green. The delegates are in the midst of deliberations. For weeks now, they've considered creating a Continental Army. But John Adams is eager to move this along. The short, stout New England arises and takes the floor. As John later recalls. I rose in my place, and in as short a speech as the subject would admit, represented the state of the colonies. The uncertainty in the minds of the people, their great expectation and anxiety. The distresses of the army, the danger of its disillusion. The difficulty of collecting another and the probability that the British Army would take advantage of our delays march out of Boston and spread desolation as far as they could go. I concluded with emotion, inform that Congress would adopt the army at Cambridge and appoint a general. President of the Congress, John Hancock's eyes light up. He wants to be the army's commander in chief and trusts his fellow Massachusetts man has his back. But to continue with John Adams account. I had no hesitation to declare that I had but one gentleman in mind for that important command. And that was a gentleman from Virginia, who is among us and very well known to all of us. A gentleman whose skill and experience as an officer, whose independent fortune, great talents, and excellent universal character, would command approbation of all America and unite the cordial exertions of all the colonies better than any other person in the union. Mister Washington. Dressed in his elegant blue and buff military uniform. As a show of support for the Civil War in New England. George Washington, unintentionally already looks the part. Yet, the humble delegate will not sit here and listen to such confidence. The powerfully built tower in Virginia now rises and quietly exits the room as the disappointed president John Hancock flowers. With George absent, the delegates debate his candidacy for general and earnest. John Adams tells us that no one opposes George for any personal reasons. True, his military track record is checkered. As we learned in episode one, his loss at fort necessity in 1754 marked the start of the French and Indian or 7 years war. Yet his cool under fire leadership saved hundreds of general Edward Braddock's men in 1755. Americans tend to focus on the latter though, so brave yet modest George is a war hero here. The real question for many is whether this Cambridge based army of new englanders will obey a southerner. Eventually, doubting delegates are able to see this as a virtue, not a vice. These colonies can't make united stand without actually being united. A southern commander from the powerful, most populous colony, Virginia, is in fact a good thing. In short, George is perfect for the job. John Adams diary isn't the clearest on the exact day he gave this speech that set up George Washington's nomination, though I believe the evidence strongly suggests June 14th. The same day that the Congress officially created the Continental Army. But whether the 14th, a few days earlier, or even the next day, George again, absence himself on June 15th, while the delegates vote on his candidacy. Unanimously, they select him as the new Continental Army's commander in chief. And yes, even John Hancock comes around. At least to some degree, describing George as a fine man when he writes about this outcome to elbridge Gary of Massachusetts. It's a great honor. But George isn't the kid we met nearly 21 years ago at fort necessity. He gets that war isn't a game and glory. He understands better than most, what a burden this command is. That success is not guaranteed. And he doubts if he's up to the task. He expresses these worries in a letter to his wife, Martha. I have used every endeavor in my power to avoid it. This command. Not only from my unwillingness to part with you and the family, but from a consciousness of it being a trust too great for my capacity. But George also understands duty. And so, the day after Congress votes to make him commander of the Continental Army, he gives his answer. It's June 16th, 1775. Congress is assembled in the Pennsylvania state House. From his seat as president of the Congress, John Hancock informs the delegate from Virginia. George Washington that yesterday, this assembled body voted unanimously to name him general and commander in chief of those forces raised and to be raised in defense of American liberty. And now, John asks will he accept. George Washington rises from his chair. Standing tall and elegant as ever in his blue uniform. He answers John Hancock. Mister president, though I am truly sensible of the high honor done me in this appointment. Yet, I feel great distress from a consciousness that my abilities and military experience may not be equal to the extensive and important trust. However, as the Congress desire it, I will enter upon the momentous duty, and exert every power I possess in their service, and for support of the glorious cause. I beg they will accept my most cordial thanks for this distinguished testimony of their approbation. But lest some unlucky events should happen. Unfavorable to my reputation, I beg it may be remembered by every gentleman in this room. That I, this day, declare with the utmost sincerity. I do not think myself equal to the command I am honored with. As to pay, sir, I beg leave to assure the Congress that is no pecuniary consideration could have tempted me to have accepted this arch of its employment. At the expense of my domestic ease and happiness, I do not wish to make any profit from it. I will keep an exact account of my expenses. Those I doubt not, they will discharge. And that is all I desire. No promises of victory or greatness. Only recognition of the weight of the task and his own shortcomings. Wise

"I trust you recall last year's first Continental Congress from the last episode. I won't rehash that 1774 gathering, but we'll remind you that, among its actions, this collective body representing the separate colonies rejected most of parliament's authority and listed several grievances in its declaration and resolves, and enacted economic sanctions through its continental association. The delegates also decided before going their separate ways in October 1774 that they would only hold a second Congress if things really went poorly. And that event, they would meet in about half a year, starting on May 10th, 1775. Well, between king George the third in parliament, each separately describing New England as being in a state of rebellion that winter, then the botched attempt to seize munitions at Salem last February, I guess you could say things were going poorly. The second Continental Congress was definitely on. This further botched attempt to seize munitions at conquered. That turned into a battle, was just the cherry on top. There's a sad irony to this. Only a few months back, on February 27th, one day after that ugly business in Salem, parliament accepted prime minister lord Frederick north's conciliatory proposition. This proposed to let each colony tax itself. So long as a colony raised the funds to cover civil judicial and military needs, parliament wouldn't interfere. But alas. This olive branch is too little too late. Especially after the battle of Lexington and Concord. A second Continental Congress is definitely happening. So, back to Philadelphia. We're not at Carpenter's hall this time, though still on chestnut street. Only a block or two away. At the Pennsylvania state House. You might know this building by a different name. A name that will come later after, well, let's not get ahead of ourselves. That's a story for a later episode. Let's just say you might know this place as independence hall. But to set the stage for this Congress, I'll add that the state House shares a lot stylistically with Carpenter's hall. While the state House is a bit older, both are built in the Georgian style and have a white trim around their windows and white doors. Both are primarily built to red brick, though independence hall lacks that beautiful checkering of black and bricks we saw at Carpenter's hall. Another difference. The state House has a large bell tower at its top, but don't picture it looking quite as nice as it will in the 21st century. It has no clock in 1775. Also, the wooden towers ride. Of course, the choice to move buildings for this Congress has nothing to do with either buildings gorgeous facades. Rotting steel is standing. It's because the state House slash independence hall is bigger. And they'll need the space. This second Congress will have more in new delegates than the last one, including some friends of ours from past episodes. Like Boston's popular, wealthy merchant, John Hancock. Within the first month, he'll replace Peyton Randolph as president of the Congress. We also have Boston born, but now Philly dwelling doctor Benjamin Franklin. An inventor renaissance man and the author of the 1754 join or die political cartoon. Ben's also recently widowed and returned from Britain, where he served as an agent, or perhaps diplomat rather for Pennsylvania and other colonies. Let's also take note of a young red headed virginian we've met on a few past occasions. Between this Congress, which will last several years, and the early decades of the republic to come, he has a number of significant roles yet ahead. This is Thomas Jefferson. Well, it sounds like we have our who, why, where and when. Let's go ahead and convene this Congress. Per last year's arrangement, the second Continental Congress officially begins on May 10th, 1775. War is in the air and militias are training across the colonies, but let's be clear. This still does not mean talk of independence. Not just yet. Perhaps those Massachusetts men, particularly the Adams cousins, John and Sam might like to have such conversations. At least, a future letter from John Adams to James Warren, and doctor Benjamin rushes later writings indicate that. But by and large, independence is not yet on the minds or at least not openly on the lips of patriots. Thus far, this is a Civil War and local to New England at that. What more will become remains to be seen, though recent events are pressing Congress to make decisions. After 5 days in various reports on the battle of Lexington and Concord, the second Continental Congress responds to news of British troops heading to New York by instructing the colony to permit them, but be ready to defend itself. Been only days later, on May 18th, this August body learns that in the early still dark hours of May 10th, a little over 100 new englanders, primarily from a group known as the green mountain boys, seized fort ticonderoga on Lake champlain southwestern shore. This is a messy development for several reasons. One. This military operations co commanders, Ethan Allen, and the later to become infamous Benedict Arnold. Both want the glory and control of the narrative. Two. The fort surrounding area, called the New Hampshire grants, is disputed territory, claimed by New York and New Hampshire. In three, rumor has it that Ethan claimed the fort. Quote, in the name of the great Jehovah and the Continental Congress. This second Congress, which only first convened hours after the fall of the fort. Certainly never gave him such authority. Yet, here we are. Perhaps preparing for this Civil War to spread is wise. Before the month is through, Congress organizes a ways and means committee to examine the acquisition of munitions. As early June passes, talk of a colonial army grows among the delegates, with the Congress voting on June 10th to recommend to the various colonies to procure or prepare munitions or send such support to the quote unquote American army in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Still, does this Continental Congress really want to take the monumental step of creating a united colony's Continental Army. It's a major proposition. My God's forgiveness spare British North America from this deadly path and open the way to reconciliation with the king. On June 12th, 1775, Congress calls for the colonies to fast prey and repent for this very purpose. Quote this Congress therefore considering the present critical alarming and calamitous state of these colonies. Do earnestly recommend that Thursday, the 20th day of July next, be observed by the inhabitants of all the English colonies on this continent. As a day of public humiliation, fasting and prayer. That we may, with united hearts and voices, unfairly confess and deplore our many sins. And offer up our joint supplications to the all wise, omnipotent, and merciful, disposer of all events. Humbly beseeching him to forgive our iniquities to remove our present calamities to avert those desolating judgments with which we are threatened, and to bless our rightful sovereign, king George the third. Ha. Rightful sovereign. Seems that, for all the growing support, some delegates still don't want to charge into a fight. But this talk of reconciliation and waiting things out doesn't fly for the Massachusetts delegates. They have war on their hands already. John Adams has personally seen the militias gathering at the Cambridge common hoping to keep the British Army from again advancing out of Boston in the wake of the battle of Lexington and Concord. They need this Continental Congress to do as the president of the Massachusetts provincial Congress, James Warren, has requested to organize its own Continental Army from across the colonies. And despite this Congress's many divisions, its sectionalism and various opinions, John Adams is determined to see it done.

Only a few months back, on February 27th, one day after that ugly business in Salem, parliament accepted prime minister lord Frederick north's conciliatory proposition. This proposed to let each colony tax itself. So long as a colony raised the funds to cover civil judicial and military needs, parliament wouldn't interfere. But alas. This olive branch is too little too late. Especially after the battle of Lexington and Concord. A second Continental Congress is definitely happening. So, back to Philadelphia. We're not at Carpenter's hall this time, though still on chestnut street. Only a block or two away. At the Pennsylvania state House. You might know this building by a different name. A name that will come later after, well, let's not get ahead of ourselves. That's a story for a later episode. Let's just say you might know this place as independence hall. But to set the stage for this Congress, I'll add that the state House shares a lot stylistically with Carpenter's hall. While the state House is a bit older, both are built in the Georgian style and have a white trim around their windows and white doors. Both are primarily built to red brick, though independence hall lacks that beautiful checkering of black and bricks we saw at Carpenter's hall. Another difference. The state House has a large bell tower at its top, but don't picture it looking quite as nice as it will in the 21st century. It has no clock in 1775. Also, the wooden towers ride. Of course, the choice to move buildings for this Congress has nothing to do with either buildings gorgeous facades. Rotting steel is standing. It's because the state House slash independence hall is bigger. And they'll need the space. This second Congress will have more in new delegates than the last one, including some friends of ours from past episodes. Like Boston's popular, wealthy merchant, John Hancock. Within the first month, he'll replace Peyton Randolph as president of the Congress. We also have Boston born, but now Philly dwelling doctor Benjamin Franklin. An inventor renaissance man and the author of the 1754 join or die political cartoon. Ben's also recently widowed and returned from Britain, where he served as an agent, or perhaps diplomat rather for Pennsylvania and other colonies. Let's also take note of a young red headed virginian we've met on a few past occasions. Between this Congress, which will last several years, and the early decades of the republic to come, he has a number of significant roles yet ahead. This is Thomas Jefferson. Well, it sounds like we have our who, why, where and when. Let's go ahead and convene this Congress. Per last year's arrangement, the second Continental Congress officially begins on May 10th, 1775. War is in the air and militias are training across the colonies, but let's be clear. This still does not mean talk of independence. Not just yet. Perhaps those Massachusetts men, particularly the Adams cousins, John and Sam might like to have such conversations. At least, a future letter from John Adams to James Warren, and doctor Benjamin rushes later writings indicate that. But by and large, independence is not yet on the minds or at least not openly on the lips of patriots. Thus far, this is a Civil War and local to New England at that. What more will become remains to be seen, though recent events are pressing Congress to make decisions. After 5 days in various reports on the battle of Lexington and Concord, the second Continental Congress responds to news of British troops heading to New York by instructing the colony to permit them, but be ready to defend itself. Been only days later, on May 18th, this August body learns that in the early still dark hours of May 10th, a little over 100 new englanders, primarily from a group known as the green mountain boys, seized fort ticonderoga on Lake champlain southwestern shore. This is a messy development for several reasons. One. This military operations co commanders, Ethan Allen, and the later to become infamous Benedict Arnold. Both want the glory and control of the narrative. Two. The fort surrounding area, called the New Hampshire grants, is disputed territory, claimed by New York and New Hampshire. In three, rumor has it that Ethan claimed the fort. Quote, in the name of the great Jehovah and the Continental Congress. This second Congress, which only first convened hours after the fall of the fort. Certainly never gave him such authority. Yet, here we are. Perhaps preparing for this Civil War to spread is wise. Before the month is through, Congress organizes a ways and means committee to examine the acquisition of munitions. As early June passes, talk of a colonial army grows among the delegates, with the Congress voting on June 10th to recommend to the various colonies to procure or prepare munitions or send such support to the quote unquote American army in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Still, does this Continental Congress really want to take the monumental step of creating a united colony's Continental Army. It's a major proposition. My God's forgiveness spare British North America from this deadly path and open the way to reconciliation with the king. On June 12th, 1775, Congress calls for the colonies to fast prey and repent for this very purpose. Quote this Congress therefore considering the present critical alarming and calamitous state of these colonies. Do earnestly recommend that Thursday, the 20th day of July next, be observed by the inhabitants of all the English colonies on this continent. As a day of public humiliation, fasting and prayer. That we may, with united hearts and voices, unfairly confess and deplore our many sins. And offer up our joint supplications to the all wise, omnipotent, and merciful, disposer of all events. Humbly beseeching him to forgive our iniquities to remove our present calamities to avert those desolating judgments with which we are threatened, and to bless our rightful sovereign, king George the third. Ha. Rightful sovereign. Seems that, for all the growing support, some delegates still don't want to charge into a fight. But this talk of reconciliation and waiting things out doesn't fly for the Massachusetts delegates. They have war on their hands already. John Adams has personally seen the militias gathering at the Cambridge common hoping to keep the British Army from again advancing out of Boston in the wake of the battle of Lexington and Concord. They need this Continental Congress to do as the president of the Massachusetts provincial Congress, James Warren, has requested to organize its own Continental Army from across the colonies. And despite this Congress's many divisions, its sectionalism and various opinions, John Adams is determined to see it done.

But let's keep our focus on Walter Laurie at the north bridge for a second. He's nervous. That rebel militia above him on the hill is continuing to swell. There are hundreds of them, while he only has about 40 men at the bridge. The British companies on the two knolls are becoming nervous as well. They fall back to the bridge with captain Lowry, bringing his forces up to a hundred or so. But that's still far smaller in number than the colonials.

Let's remember that no one realizes the Revolutionary War started this morning. Not even the soldiers who participated in the fighting at Lexington. Indeed, trying to set things right after this morning's disaster might be driving some of their civility, even if that makes their search less effective. But the truth is, the red coats wouldn't find much even if they were aggressive. Remember those patriot spies we met in the last episode? Yeah, they were on it. Paul Revere may have gotten arrested on his way here last night, or this morning rather. But he had a much more successful ride out to conquer just days ago and brought warning that something was likely going to happen soon. That's why most munitions have already been moved or, as we'll get C, cleverly hidden. And so, for all the trouble this 16 mile march from Boston to Concord, the red coats find very little. 500 pounds of musket balls, some flour. Lieutenant Barker of the king's own adds that they destroy three pieces of cannon. I think the cannons are worth highlighting, we need to remember the redcoats aren't just seizing near pistols and muskets. These patriot militias have some serious artillery. Yet, much of what the British soldiers find isn't destroyed anyhow. They toss much of this into the town's pond, which the Patriots will mostly rescue from the water the following day. But the red coats do destroy some of their findings with fire. And this is where things go wrong. The flame spread they start to look at the courthouse. With great persistence and a claim that the building's second floor is filled with black powder, 71 year old widow, Martha Moulton, gets hungry red coats to put down breakfast and form a bucket brigade to put it out.

"concord" Discussed on 600 WREC
"Okay? That's Ah, precariously balanced. We all are here. I said yesterday one wrong word that that I was offering myself up. As the target I offered myself To take the incoming Deflected away from others. Here's a media montage. Don Lemon CNN. Steve Schmidt, MSNBC, Katie Torrey, NBC Whole bunch of people out there from NBC. Weighing in on my Call for violence supposedly Rush Limbaugh standing by the president. After what we saw yesterday, Rush Limbaugh today, talking about that he was offended that there have been calls to end the violence. Rush Limbaugh is on his radio show talking about violence, saying that there's a lot of people calling for the end of the violence. But he says I'm glad Sam Adams Thomas pay the actual tea party guys. The men of Lexington and Concord did not feel that way. So not turning down the heat. Rush Limbaugh to citing the revolution and the like. You need to read a book on the Revolution. Rush Limbaugh is trying to prevent as much violence and get as many people heard. It's possible and he's glad that the American revolutionaries resorted to violence man the degree of ignorance what I said. Woz. Did not require a decoder. It did not require a special frequency to get the real words that I said Turn on the radio was free. Isabel, turn on my website and streaming It was no mystery. This last guy was think younger Rush Limbaugh trying to foment as much violence. Get his many people hurt as possible. He's glad the American revolutionaries re sorted in violence. They had no choice by the way, Mr Yoga but I made no such comparisons. I simply pointed out At the American revolutionaries did not have this. This'll, this'll self defeating. Policy. Of tying their hands behind their backs. Because their opponents demanded it. Here is what I actually said. In context. After warning everybody how precariously balanced. The program was yesterday that I knew they were out there just waving for one wrong word. I knew they think they would find it in anything that I said. But here is the whole thing. It takes 41 seconds and the mother of all ironies. The Democrats in the media are calling yesterday's protests and bloody coup attempt, even though the only blood spilled was that of an unarmed trump supporter who was shot an unarmed white woman who was an Air Force veteran who had done four tours of duty in the Middle East, defending the right to protest. We're supposed to be horrified by the protesters, meanwhile, four years Have a cool launched in the Oval Office of Barack Obama to overturn the election results of 2016 and not a single word of concern about the potential damage to our constitution. No, there were just other denials. We didn't do it. I know what you're talking about. Trump's gotta go Trump's poison. So yeah, There's a lot of ironing out there and there's a lot of people calling for the end of violence with lot of conservatives, social media who say that any violence or aggression All is unacceptable, regardless of the circumstances. I'm glad Sam Adams, Thomas Paine, the actual tea party guys the minute Lexington and Concord didn't feel that way. At no time. Did I compare anybody participating in the capital protest? The Sam Adams, Thomas Paine, the actual tea party, guys the minute Lexington and Concord. They think I did, or they are lying about the fact that I did. Lot of people calling for the end of violence Lot of conservative social media Say that any violence or aggression at all is unacceptable. Well as I mentioned 28, different times, Media and Democrats excused or endorsed violence committed by left wing activists just last summer. One of them was Kamila Harris. June 2020. After rioting have destroyed property businesses and killed people in several cities. Senator Kami Harris went on the late show, she said. Quote They're not going to stop. Of the protest. This is a movement They're not going to stop before Election Day in November, and they're not going to stop after Election day, she continued. Everybody should take note of that on both levels that they're not going to let up. They should not, and we should not let up on the violence. Harrison that protests must continue in order to make a difference. The only way we're going to truly achieve change. Is when there are people in the system who are willing or pushing to do it. And when there are those folks outside of the system, demanding it So we have Trump, who told demonstrators yesterday afternoon to stop any violence. He told them to go home. He told him to go home in peace. He said, Yeah, your election was stolen from you. But it's time now to go home. Go home in peace. We have the vice president elect Kami Harris. May well be our president sooner than you can shake a stick. Encouraging the continuation of the rioting. In June of last year, promoting it, advocating it saluting it. So who again should be removed from office. The hypocrisy here continues to.

Daryl Davis On Healing Hate with Friendship
"Today I have the most amazing guest for you. He is a man that really shows us the possibility of how to disparate sides can come together. His name is Daryl Davis and he's a black man who is convinced over two hundred Klu Klux Klan members to give up their robes by boldly and bravely walking in deep into their lives deep into the heart of the Ku Klux Klan, becoming friends with them and showing them his sheer humanity. Today. We're GONNA hear Darrell Story and learn how it is that he threw his empathy compassion insight in bravery has been able to really embrace a methodology that allows people from opposite sides to come together learn from another become friends heal and grow welcome Daryl. Pleasure. To be here with you. Thank you for having me. It is such a pleasure. You're such an extraordinary human being sorry to embarrass you. I am so excited to be able to share your story and your insights today. My pleasure and I hope you'll listeners will enjoy it. Thank you. Why don't you begin by telling us the back story to how and why you are able to penetrate the clan? Okay. I'm aged fifty, two currently and as a child, my parents were in the US foreign service. So I spent a lot of my formative years starting at the age of three. And on through elementary school traveling abroad living in various foreign countries, you go to a country for two years and you come back home here to the states, and then you're reassigned to another country. So back and forth back and forth during my formative years while overseas my classes in elementary school and things like that were filled with kids from all over the world. Anybody who had an embassy in those countries all of their children went to the same school. So my classmates were Nigeria Italian Russian Japanese French you name it they had an embassy there I was in school with their kids and to me that was the norm that was my first exposure to school. and. So when I would come back home at the end of the two year assignment, I would either be in all black schools. Black and white schools meaning the still segregated schools or the newly integrated ones like. Well I left. CHICAGO. Shortly after I was born but we will come back and we would be like in Washington DC or be in Massachusetts different places for a short time before being reassigned every other two years. So I was back I know I was for part of Second Grade I was back for a fourth grade. I was back in sixth grade and I was back here in eighth grade when I would come back the schools were either all black or black and white meeting still segregated. Or newly integrated, and there was not the amount of diversity in my classroom that I had overseas. So in one case, I was in fourth grade nine, hundred, sixty, eight, I was ten years old and I was one of two black children in the entire school myself in fourth grade and a little black girl in second grade. So consequently, all of my friends were white and many of my male friends were members of the local, Cub Scout Group and they invited me to join which I did. And during a March we had from Lexington Concord to commemorate the ride of a Paul Revere. Suddenly I was being pelted with soda pop bottles and cans and Rawson just debris from the street by just a small group of the white spectators on the sidewalk not everybody most people were cheering us in waving and all that kind of thing. But there were about maybe five people off to my right I remember there being a couple of kids or half a year or two older than myself and a couple of adults who are throwing ends, and when I first began getting hit and looked over and saw this my first thought was oh, those people over there don't like the scouts. That's how naive I was because I had never been to. Before and it wasn't until my scout leaders came rushing over and these were white people, my den mother, my cub leader, my troop master, and they huddled over me with their bodies and escorted me out of the danger. And I realized I was the only person being targeted because nobody else was getting this special protection and I, asked him, I, said, why am I being hit why they're doing this? I didn't do anything and all they would do this kind of shush me and rushing along telling me everything would be okay. Just keep moving. and. So they never answered the question. At the end of the day when I returned home my mother and father who would not at the parade. were, fixing, cleaning the UP, putting bandaids on me and ask me how do I fall down and get scraped up I told him I didn't fall down into the mud happened. And this was the first time in my life that I heard the word racism they explained what racism was to me. And my opinion old brain could not process this definition. It made no sense to me whatsoever I'd been around white people from all over the world at this point and none of them whether they were my fellow Americans my French friends, my Swedish friends, my Australian friends, none of them treated me like this. So my parents were making this up because people don't do things like that. And they assured me that not all white people do this but there is an element of some they do and I just cannot wrap my head around it. So I didn't believe them well about almost two months later. That same year nineteen, Sixty, eight. On April the fourth Martin Luther King was assassinated. And every major city in this country burned to the ground. All in the name of this new word I had learned call racism.
Monocle 24: The Briefing
British Airways Announces Immediate Retirement of Boeing 747 Fleet
"Airways has just announced this morning a little bit in line with Qantas that effective, almost immediately They're going to be retiring. Their whole fleet of seven forty sevens is currently have thirty one still in operation, which be taken out of the fleet, now of course is because a few passenger numbers and less capacity needed because all of these airlines are very well. They kind of need to get to a point of being carbon neutral they they need. Need to be of good pr, so the older planes get out of the fleets much earlier, but I thought it was exactly that there's still four hundred sixteen flying around the world at the beginning of this month, and I love how many had been manufactured and fifteen, one, thousand, five, hundred, fifty eight from fifty years ago. So when you think one in three of those planes is still in active service is an extraordinary number, and when you think about the seven forty seven hundred. If we want to sort of get a little bit. Nostalgic, there's there's really no other airline air aircraft that that's come close me yesterday. Three Eighty you know came out as as a full length, double decker but when you think about the the golden age of flying, we can go back and look at seven Oh sevens. What those meant to Pan and and and Flying Clippers and concord, but there is something about the seven forty seven as well it was, it was quite democratic to with an airliner of charter charter brands as as much is of course. Some of the world's leading carriers got you around the world. Yes back in the fifties began when the airlines began to say the US. Airlines began to sites by. Can you build us a plane? Maybe that's two and a half times bigger than anything else we currently have. They came up with the Boeing. It was tested in the late sixties. It went into service in nineteen seventy, but there's something about that shape. The court, every kid's imagination you. Remember being young and looking up at the sky and you'd see that, Silhouette. You could be the most useless plane-spotter in the world. You knew what you were saying. And there's something also just was glamorous about the notion that you could go up the spiral staircase and and up in another floor of a plane. And oddly we may have seen double deckers committed with the a three eighty. It doesn't have the glamorous. Double Decker bus. There was something about being in that little secret part at the top, it was almost like being on a private plane attached to a regular commercial flight that was that was glamour, and there was there was kind of sexiness about, and there's something side I mean depending on where we get. Over the coming months I do wonder if there's an opportunity 'cause we've seen Qantas have been looking at. Marketing sort of these these last flights on on on the seven forty seven, and of course they're still other carriers who still have them We'll see move. The Japanese are lens some years ago. They retire the for a lot for all of the same reasons. I mean for the fact that they are gas guzzlers. They don't have the most efficient engines that they they are. They are allowed. There is of course a new generation of a seven forty seven and it seems that the president of the United. States will be getting a few of them, but Do you think that this is all a bit knee-jerk or this is? This goes with the Times or do you think maybe be able? Look at this in a few months? Things improving or maybe we shouldn't have retarded them quite so quickly. Well as we've just said you, you just look how reliable they are. The the they have been evolving crashes in the past, but very rarely for technical reasons or design flaws to the plane and the. Great work is often many than there's. Versions, which is still being used in Kaga, but here Monaco. We've had some great stories. We flew on a seven four seven weeks in Andhra all the way from Tehran to Caracas via Damascus. With with Iran. We went on the emperor's plane. In Japan so the seven four seven has so many kind of extraordinary stores to is sad I think kind of going out service as you said still roughly four hundred. We'll be up

Vincent Brown discusses his new book, ‘Tacky’s Revolt’
"Vincent Brown welcome to meet the rices. Slavery is war. Tell me what that means. Well. In the book. I tend to think of slavery itself as a state of war, and in that I'm following the enslaved themselves who often discuss slavery as a state of warfare amongst themselves, most famously allowed Equiano who we know as one of the most famous formerly enslaved abolitionists of the late eighteenth century British Atlantic. said in his autobiography that when you make people slaves. Them to live with you in a state of war. Now in that he was echoing the philosopher John Locke. Who said that what is slavery? But the state of war continued between what he thought was a lawful conqueror and the concord now John Locke was trying to legitimate slavery. He was an investor in the Royal African company, and he actually helped to write the constitution for the colony of south. Carolina, which became a slave state. State, but equiano was doing something a little bit different than John Locke. He was actually commenting upon the conditions of slavery, the violence that was required to maintain people in slavery and the kind of response that was bound to come by those people who had been subjected so violently so for him, slavery was a state of war, and there were other enslaved people who echoed. Seeing slavery that way helped me frame the slave revolt in Jamaica. In seventeen, sixty, seven, sixty, one, which was the largest in the eighteenth century, British Empire as a war itself right as one of a series of wars, all around the Atlantic world that then ed up in this conflict in seventeen sixty Jamaica I'd like to look at your own life, and where that intersects with war, because you grew up in San Diego, and in fact, it was very early on that. You became aware of conflicts. I did well. I'm an American citizen. I grew up in the United States. I was born in the late sixties at the height of the Vietnam War and I I'm sorry to say that I can't name a five year period when the US military hasn't been abroad somewhere engaged in conflict with somebody over the course of my entire life, which seems to me like a half century of war having. Having grown up in San Diego I grew up in one of the largest terry garrison towns really in the history of the world the US Navy is as a major base in San Diego. The US Marines just north of San Diego have a major base and so coming through high school. A lot of my friends would join the military because it was the big industry in town, right. And of course, you know, my family had been had served in the army. My father served in the army. My Uncle A. Brother had done three combat tours I. Believe one in Korea and two in Vietnam, so the history of the military, the engagement overseas abroad in military campaigns was very much a part of my thinking growing up, and so when I thought about the history of slavery. It just jumped out at me that this history was itself a history that was embroiled embedded in a world of warfare, especially in the eighteenth century win. You have got Great Britain struggling in a century long campaign against its its greatest global enemy France, and all of those European wars then topped onto. The wars of enslavement that sent people out across the Atlantic into the European colonies in America, and what you have is a world of wars within wars, which looked very familiar to me like the campaigns at the US was fighting within the larger ambit- of the Cold War so by the time I grew to adulthood in the late eighty S. I was seeing these these late cold war campaigns in these post colonial states as as part of the larger Cold War, and then you see these proxy wars between the US and the Soviet Union fought out in places like Afghanistan right, and then of course by two thousand one, you see those kind of proxy campaigns between the US and Soviet Union growing into something else what we now call the terror wars, the war on. On Terror in Afghanistan and elsewhere I didn't see those things as continuous. I didn't see the terror war something uniquely different from most proxy wars of the late. Cold War period and my thinking historically has been to ask the question. How is it that one connects these longer histories of warfare together? And I do think that I was inspired to think that partly by having grown up in San Diego in a military town. And what about your, your family's personal history with war and with slavery? Well an african-american! My parents grew up in Virginia, and so they are descended from people who are enslaved probably as far back as the eighteenth century the Chesapeake Bay area. What's now? Virginia and Maryland was one of the largest importers of slaves in North America now I say north. America because the British empire imported the vast majority of its enslaved peoples into the Caribbean but for North America the territories that became the United States, the Chesapeake and South Carolina with a major importers of enslaved African peoples, and my family is descended from. Those people probably brought to North America in the eighteenth century. History was big in your life obviously, but also the arch. Yeah well. When I was in high school I I became very involved in theater and went to college thinking that I was actually going to do a theater degree. But at some point I thought well, you know I could probably do theater without a theater degree, but maybe I should have a backup plan and my second love in college was history, and that ended up being my career.

Booms Sustainable Supersonic
"Supersonics and sustainability are two words. You rarely hear uttered together, but that's about to change. Boom supersonic is developing the first civil supersonic airliner of the twenty first century, and unlike the concord, it will be able to operate sustainably. Boom is building a one third scale demonstrator as a precursor to the overture, a seventy five seat mach two point two airliner it hopes will begin service later this decade. Senior Editor Guy North provides exclusive details about the boom project and a cover story that will appear in the June twenty nine edition of Aviation, week and space technology. He joins us here from Los Angeles so guy. What's the story? Joe, yeah well. It was It's been fascinating of course this whole idea of the renaissance, supersonic travel and You know we talked to area of course a couple of months ago and did a pretty good story about that evolving design We've seen that NASTAS X fifty nine low boom demonstrator is being assembled by Lockheed Martin right now in the skunkworks, so there's a lot of activity, but it goes. Boom boom, supersonic based in Colorado has been working for several years now on a design, which as you mentioned called the overture, and it's getting to the point now where the XP one demonstrator is kind of ready getting ready for prime time so that looking at rolling out this summer and putting into flight test next year. I should say by the way it's taken a lot longer than they or anybody else thought, but you know they're working their way through it and getting their. So how does the XP one demonstrator help with the development of the overture? Roy well good question in fact strangely enough. That's question number one that I put to Blake Shoal. WHO's the CEO of of boom and so I guess why not just let him tell us exactly what he told me. Right so the way XP one is it? Is it approving in flight? The key technologies we need sustainable, safe, economical, supersonic flight, and it had that you principally Amex materials and befall Trent, so using the statement of carbon fibre system that we would use them on overture, using the same design techniques where your ally in simulation of getting all the calibration day. in-flight Shit exactly how your models performed the real world, and then a similar approaches to high efficiency who supersonic intakes they can big difference, overall performance and it's. It's really important. You do this in hardware. Just in the wind tunnel installation because when you do when you do concept studies. Near you're not forced to solve all the problems. You can leave little bits of things. It unfinished assumed we get get the rest of the way there, but sometimes the last ten percent of work is ninety percent of the innovation really happens. Now of course, the the thing about the demonstrator is that it's also beginning to kickstart the supply chain as well a loads by and large a supply chain. That's probably going to be quite different when the when the production version comes out but I think one of the things that really is interesting is the fact that that's The supply chain is very interested in supersonics and getting more so particularly as they finding pressure from the classic at bussing, Boeing supply chains way, you know Boeing an episode of having their issues, so supply China's looking for other outlets and other avenues. And of course, one of the key parts that supply China's the engine. Nobody's going to go anyway without without a good engine boom on at the point yet of being up to say particularly where they all with that and where the selections but. In, this question, I asked I asked bike. You know what the situation was, so this is what he had to say about. This supply China on propulsion. And when we started bill six years ago, frankly people thought we were crazy and It was the this was a thing. That was some bad idea. An audible and that's that's that's really changed, and you see across the industry of writing efforts. Supersonics were credible. And when that? When that starts to get internalized the supply chain people. Stop thinking like well. Is this worth doing. Back out instead they start thinking what if this happens part of it? At that changes that really changes a lot of the conversations and if you are. A big piece of your business comes from widebody aircraft and the most profitable passengers during the wide bodies into supersonic. That, it's actually a bad thing if you don't have a supersonic

"Standing above the angle. Bright Damn A army corps US Army Corps of Engineers Dam on the main stem of the river. Where is that though in Nevada county? We're about halfway between Tahoe. And Sacramento. A little north of that would not actually in Nevada. Nope we're in the state of California and we are standing right between Nevada County and Yuba County and we're standing on the beautiful Yuba River which flows down to the feather. And then the Sacramento from there down into the San Francisco Bay in the ocean. So you were a county board of Supervisors member when you first came here. Tell us about your first experience with this. Damn down a few different times over my life had been here my whole life. It was built and commissioned in nineteen forty seven by the Army Corps of Engineers so that people could resume hydraulic mining blocks hundreds of miles of potential fish passage for fish. Come from the ocean and go up into the high sierra to lay their eggs so when I first came to the damn understanding that the state of California had targeted this spot em federal government as maybe the best place to restore passage at the very first meeting we went to the. Us Geological Survey stood up and said you can't do anything to that. Damn until you look at the material behind it is holding back a whole bunch of mercury and that was the very first time I had ever heard anything about mercury and the state of California and its role in the goal rush. Or how long have you lived in this part of the world? My family came to California as part of the Gold Rush. We were quakers. Escaping the east coast. Ten violent religious oppression moved out to become farmers I was raised in Concord California on that form and in one thousand nine hundred five. I married a farmer and we moved to Nevada county beautiful organic farm in a place called Penn Valley. Tell us about this county and just its history and the gold rush because it is a lot of history here. Nevada county was ground zero of the California Gold Rush. Far More gold was taken out of this county and specifically this river that we're standing above than any other place in the state of California. It's where the very destructive technique called hydraulic mining which is using power water monitors to to scrub mountainside. Looking for gold is where that was invented. They started to dam the rivers and convey that water over to these huge hydraulic mining activities. Which were recovering thousands of of gold but millions of tons of sediment not material here from Nevada county rolled down the river and kept flooding the Sacramento Valley and eventually the farmers downstream who are really tired of having their houses filled with all this debris sued and stopped the activity known as hydraulic mining. Was the connection between Mercury and gold. Tell us how that process works. Everybody came to understand that the very dramatic impact of hydraulic mining because it was blowing these huge amounts of sediment down the river. But people didn't understand. Was that before they use. Those hydraulic monitors. They would treat the cliffs with Mercury Mercury on the cliff. Pound the cliffs with water the water to wash down into sluices and in those sluice boxes were also filled with mercury. Why did they use mercury keep? Mercury helped enhance called processing. It has a unique ability to amalgamate or hold the gold. So little tiny flecks of gold. That might be smaller than an eyelash would fall into the pan. But they're just wash out unless they were captured by mercury. Mercury would grab the gold. Make it heavy fall to the bottom of the sluice. When they turn the water off. Miners would come through and suck that mercury out of the bottom of the sluice they would take the mercury put it in a hot place they would call retort it like think of a hot iron frying pan and the mercury sort of melting off the top or or training into gas off the top and at the bottom of your pan. You'd have sparkling gold. The problem is curious. Mercury is a very dangerous neuro toxin. And it's dangerous in a variety of ways so badly that the United Nations World Health Organization Amnesty of California have both named it. The top bioaccumulative toxic material of concern. Mercury is a neuro toxin. It affects the developmental human being so our ability to deform our nerves are heart or lungs. Our brains it creates Serious birth defects and people have focused on that for many many years but as research has been done we learn that it continues to damage us as adults. It seems to be causing problems with our hearts with our lungs and with our various different organs which accumulate mercury. So it's a known neuro toxin and that's strike one against it strike to is it bioaccumulates in our body. It doesn't really easily leave our bodies many of the things we take in. Let's take alcohol. You drink it and two days later. It's all out of your body not so with Mercury it stores itself in your body and builds up over time strike. Three is that this material does. What's called bio magnifies in the environment? So the most dangerous place for a piece of mercury to be is in water particularly in warm water. Mercury is taken up by the little bugs at the bottom of the food chain. They eat a little bit of it. It transfers up to the bigger bugs and then the bigger bugs and then the fish and then the humans or as we watch here today. The waterbirds that are flying around might pick up. Officiant eat it. They are eating a highly toxic potent load of mercury so much so that the lake. We're looking here like Anglo. Bright has fish advisories on it that advice that a woman of childbearing age eat not a single bass out of this lake fish mornings. I run along this Anchorman River. There will along the Sacramento. And then you go down to San Francisco Bay. The same warnings that so it's in fact the entire ecosystem. The mercury that is in the Delta is entirely from these legacy minds in the areas. We are the gold mines and sadly for California. We had a unique geology which led us have mercury in our state as well. The coastal range has the mercury minds. Whether it's the ones down in San Jose or the ones Tamales Bay or up over on the clear lake there are serious old legacy mercury minds which are contaminating the coastal range and the tributaries that drain from there into the bay or into the ocean where we are everywhere. There was gold mining. They use this mercury not only for the the hydraulic mining but also for the hard rock mines which dominated the landscapes for one hundred years and all of those continue to leak mercury into the state of California water bodies every time it rains
