Lt. Col. David Scott Mann: 73% of Afghan War Veterans Feel Betrayed
"Colonel David Scott Mann, and he's weighing in on what happened in Afghanistan. This whole thing has been a gutting experience. I never imagined I would witness the kind of gross abandonment. Followed by a career preserving silence of senior leaders military and civilian. As a result of the way that we've left Afghanistan, we're on the front end of a national security crisis as 27 violent extremist groups are now operating on former NATO security bases with Taliban top cover. And I think we're on the front end of a mental health tsunami. As 73% of our Afghan war veterans say they feel betrayed by how this war ended. Calls to the VA hotline have spiked 81% in the first year since the Afghan withdrawal. And they keep coming. And

Veterans testify of 'catastrophic' impact of Afghan collapse
"A house panel has heard firsthand testimony from active service members and veterans on the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021. I'm Ben Thomas, with some of what they had to say. For millions of people in Afghanistan and the U.S. Aiden Gunderson served as an army medic during the evacuation, he says he's plagued by the memories. I see the faces of all the people we can not save all those that we left behind. The majority of witnesses argued blamed for the fall of Kabul touches every presidential administration from George W. Bush to Joe Biden, retired green beret, lieutenant colonel David Scott Mann. America is building a nasty reputation from multi generational systemic abandonment of our allies that we leave as smoldering human wreckage from the montagnards of Vietnam to the Kurds in Syria. Testimony focused not on the decision to withdraw, but on what witnesses described as a desperate attempt to rescue American citizens in Afghan allies with little planning and inadequate support. Tyler Vargas Andrews then a marine sergeant detailed the horror after suicide bombers attacked the crowds at Kabul airport. He now wears a prosthetic arm to withdraw was a catastrophe in my opinion. And there was an inexcusable lack of accountability and negligence and they implored Congress to help the allies left behind. Peter lucier is a marine veteran, now working with team America relief assisting Afghans in relocating. It's not too late. We're going to talk a lot today about all of the mistakes that were made leading up to that. But urgent action right now will save so many lives Ben Thomas, Washington.

George Santos and the Total Failure of the Media to Fact Check
"Back to how does this slip through the cracks? One lousy media with different value set to allow the competitor. I mean, the Democrat and his team clearly lack anywhere with all to just check the boxes. And three, a total lack of appetite on behalf of the national media to do anything about this. But that's to be expected. You know, if you're really wanting to go down the rabbit hole of conspiracy theories, you might wonder if this is the real manchurian candidate that just really screwed up. It's interesting when you think about how does he have those millions of dollars? Was he paid off? Does he really have those millions of dollars? I think he's still a fair question. These lies keep adding up. Let me give you some more that just came out today. I told you about the horse man, horseman's a wonderful prep school won the top prep schools in the country, and he's saying he went there. Again, I just say like, how does that happen? Because wouldn't you have known anybody that had graduated with him? Wouldn't people say, um, that guy is running for Congress. He said he graduated with me from Horace Mann. I don't remember him. And he might talk to a friend and say, I don't remember him either. Well, then he claimed that 9 11 took his mom's life, but apparently another report said that she passed away of cancer in 2016. Now maybe it was 9 11 related. We don't know, but everything is kind of just weird. So let's go through the list of lies because it's worth knowing where we are. All of these claims are misrepresentations have come from him, for example, having Jewish parents who fled the Nazi Holocaust. That's apparently not the case. He said he graduated from baruch college, apparently there's no record of that. He said he attended Horace Mann, the prep school in New York, no record of that. He said he ran an animal charity and that doesn't seem to be the case. He also said he lost employees in the 2016 pulse nightclub shooting that he worked at Citigroup and also Goldman Sachs that he owned rental property and that his family firm managed 80 $1 million in assets paying him $750,000, but apparently the only real record they have of him working is some kind of low level wage job. And then there's the 9 11 thing I just told you about with his mother's death. So this

'The Truth About Energy, Global Warming, and Climate Change'
"To Jerome corsi. What a joy it is Jerome to have you here in the studio. And to talk about what most people are thinking, but they don't have the science or the facts to back it up. You have it in the book. This is the title of the book is the truth about energy global warming and climate change. So let's keep going. What else do we need to know? A couple more points. I want to first of all say that the IPCC, which is this United Nations intergovernmental panel on climate change, which is the group saying we're all going to die because a few more parts per million of carbon dioxide in the air. But hydrocarbon fuels, burning, creates the carbon dioxide, capitalism is wrong and evil. The scientists are actually good scientists. And what makes them so dangerous is they twist the science in order to make it come to their conclusion. They have to do things like Michael Mann did with his hockey stick. Everything's stable. We have had no temperature variations going back. Thousands of years or hundreds of years, industrial revolution comes along. Suddenly, the blade of the hockey stick goes up. Nonsense. They erase the little ice age. You erase the medieval warming period. Okay,

Malcolm Nance Called the Insurrection 62 Days Before It Happened
"Someone wrote yesterday. Your decision not to be political is a decisive political decision for the other side. Yeah. When it's the overthrow of the United States government. Oh, is that all we're talking about? Jeez. As someone that called the insurrection before the insurrection. 62 days. That's right. 62 days on Bill ma or real time with Bill Maher. I told Bill to his credit. It was the kumbaya episode. Yeah. And Trump's gone. Oh, we can all rest. Yeah, we should really find out what they want. We should address their concerns. And I love Bill, but you know, I sat very quietly there. You know, while he was saying that, and he said, well, it can't be all doom and gloom. And I said, oh, you want doom and gloom? Do you boy? That's why I'm here. That was my cue. And I said, we're going into an insurgency. Yeah. And he was like, insurgency, like Iraq, and I was like, yeah, it was Saddam and uday and kusa. You know? That's when you use the word vanilla ISIS. Yeah, vanilla ice is. And you know, we are now in it. And insurgency is a campaign of destabilization. And the Republican Party is an insurgent party. Understand what we're saying. Malcolm Mann said this before January 6th happened. Can I point something out? Yes. That book was contracted on December 12th, 2020. Wow.

"Two was announced for 2024. But is there anything better than those first three movies? I mean, I don't know how many people listen to this program have my wacko sense of humor. Maybe a few since they listen to the program. But best in show, waiting for government and a mighty wind. I don't know what to say. They're like, they're unbelievably spectacular. Well, what really makes them work, and I think it's similar. There is a lot of overlap between the mix of Babylon B work is, it's a very small community that takes itself very seriously. And it's clear that the filmmaker has a passion and a respect for the subject matter. And that's what made Babylon B work is if you watch a lot of if you consume any kind of secular satire of the church, it's clear that it hates the church. It doesn't understand the church, the people who write it have never been to church. What makes the Babylon bees church humor work is we're there. We love the church, and we know that we take ourselves very seriously, even in things that we probably shouldn't. Well, you're speaking from the inside. That's the beauty of it. I mean, the crack jokes about John McCarthy and Joel osteen, you know, you've got to be literate in the things of American evangelical Christianity, I guess. And you guys are. So it is delicious. Also, I think that because of the secular secularization of the culture and Hollywood, there weren't a lot of people who knew that world. And so there's a gigantic audience that lives in that world that knows that world and nobody's really talking to them. That's what you guys have been doing. A simple yes or no. Thank you very much. I was waiting for Joel exactly. Sorry. Well, but it's a huge audience hitherto untapped. And you guys have been feeding that beast, and it's been growing, and I'm scared. If you'll stick around, we've just got a few minutes left. But folks, we're talking with Kyle Mann and Joel berry, who have a brand new book out called the postmodern pilgrims progress. I think you'd be crazy not to get a copy. That's a blurb. Thank you. Sometimes I'd like to quit. Nothing ever seems to fit hanging around nothing to do before rainy days and Mondays always get me dressed. Hey folks, have you heard of the Babylon beat? Now you have I'm talking to the editor in chief managing editor Kyle Mann and Joel berry, they have a brand new book out. I think you want this. It's called the postmodern pilgrims progress. We've been talking about it. But let's just go back to the Twitter ban. How insane is it? That you guys write comedy and that you were banned from Twitter, what? For spreading disinformation. Yeah, we told a joke after USA Today made Rachel Levine, their woman of the year, we decided to make Rachel Levine a man of the year in response. And so that was a bridge too far for Twitter and they gave us the boot. Are you seeing that Rachel is not a lovely woman? Is that what you're saying? We're not saying we would never say mean. You guys are just mean. Do you know who the comedian Bruce vilanch is? He wrote a lot of stuff. You know, he was like, he's kind of a Hollywood writer, but whenever I see Rachel, I just get them mixed up. But you guys were knocked off of Twitter. How long has it been since you've been on Twitter? Off Twitter. It was like march 27th, march 28th, so we're up on 60 something days now. But I'm not good at math, but it's like over two months. And is this a permanent ban? What are they saying? They asked us, they asked us to delete the tweet and acknowledge that we've committed hateful conduct by calling a man to man, and we refuse to do that. So we're locked out. And to you. So Rachel Levine, that's your game, Kyle Mann. What is wrong with you? We honored Rachel Levine within a war. I don't understand what the problem is. That is so harsh, man..

"When did the Babylon be start March 1st, 2016, put it on your calendar, it's an important day in the history of our nation. It's just that it's that recent, actually. Yeah, that's what everybody says. It feels like it's a cultural institution that's been around a lot longer. But yeah, we launched right in the middle of the 2016 election. It was like a couple months, a few months before Trump was nominated before Hillary was officially nominated. So it was kind of this moment for Christians where nobody knew what to do politically. Who do we vote for? Can we vote for Trump or not? Yes, but we're not going to cover that on this show. So let me ask you because I can't remember I can't remember with whom I've spoken about on what subject. I know I talked to Ethan Nicole. I've been on the podcast with you guys in your home offices in California. But I can't remember if we ever talked about, I mean, when I was at Yale, I was the editor of the humor magazine, and it's when I kind of cut my teeth on writing humor and you realize how hard it is, at least I do to write humor. It's incredibly hard. And I think people when they laugh at something, they think they can tell that joke or they can do that, but it's actually really hard. And I think I've said to you guys in previous interviews just how thrilling it was to me to read the Babylon bee humor because it comes up to that level, which I would not have expected from a conservative Christian site, not because I don't think it's possible, but just because I think that would just be too good to be true. That would be so wonderful. And so I want to ask both of you, what are your antecedents in comedy? What led you to be able to think and crack jokes in the way that you do? You know, going back to when you were younger, how do you get to this place? Because not everybody can write funny. It's a really extraordinary gift. Most of most of us Babylon bee people came from very boring sales backgrounds. And going to ordinary small churches and just observing wacky stuff going on. And we were just like building up all this material for decades before we made the jump over to overwriting comedy. But just the comedy that I've enjoyed to consume is always very dry. I love this is spinal tap, all the Christopher Guest stuff. That was always big for me. Monty Python. That was something I discovered in middle school like, wow, there's this whole world of comedy that's not just completely on the nose with a laugh track. And that was a real revelation for me. Joel, what about you? Yeah, for me, I guess my influences are a little goofier. I think like the three Stooges is like the height of comedy for me. The image of a well dressed man in a suit getting a pie in his face, I think, is just perfection. And so I like that I like when we can get a little silly with our articles sometimes. You'll see a range with our comedy. This interview is over, Alvin. Honestly. I am as a fan of the three studios. I'm just I'm a gog that you would dare to bring them up. People thought you were sophisticated. What is wrong with you? That's actually very funny. I don't see any real link between the Stooges. But we'll put that to the side. But between the two just and the battle on B so anything else? Well, honestly, I really just became very good at imitating Kyle's voice. I mean, he created a lot of the voice of the Babylon B I started off as a fan myself for the first couple of years of his existence and just kind of trained in the school of Kyle Mann. The Kyle man school of comedy is how I is this like in all about eve's scenario you're slowly pushing him out. This is about, isn't it? You're all smiles, your friendly, the next thing you know, you're getting the trophy. No, listen, I'm just so proud of what you guys do. It is unfortunately very necessary at this point. So it is, it is wonderful. The idea that you would bring up Christopher Guest, Kyle, he hasn't done anything recently. Has he like, I think that they're doing the latest I heard, because there's been years actually since he came, you know, he came out with a mighty win waiting for government and best in show. Then they came out with something which wasn't that great. I always forget the title of it for your consideration. I mean, these are some of the greatest movies ever made. And I think now maybe they're doing another spinal tap literally. I don't know if you have you heard about that. Yeah, they did one called mascots in 2016. It's on Netflix. I haven't watched it. I heard it was pretty funny, but it did seem to blend modern styles of humor with his classic mockumentary style. So it was a bit of a hybrid. And then yeah, this is spinal tap part.

"So who is the character who stands in for Christian in your postmodern version of pilgrimage progress? Yeah, so the main character, his name is Ryan. And we gave him a little backstory in our book. He has a horrific tragedy in his life. That kind of a meaningless death that almost turns him into a bit of a nihilist. And he's struggling with the existence of God. He's struggling with kind of the failure of leadership in the church to provide any sort of answer or understanding behind the tragedy. And so he goes to this mega church and here's kind of a bunch of empty platitudes from the pulpit gets really mad, loses his temper at the pastor. And then a giant projector falls from the ceiling and knocks him out. And he has this dream. And so the entire book is basically the retelling of this dream and this journey that he goes on through this kind of multiverse world. And we were excited to bring the multiverse element into it. The multiverse stories are kind of big right now. They're usually used to tell kind of a nihilistic tale and we reverse that to tell the story of a nihilist who finds meaning and finds his creator on this journey. It was kind of cool. A lot of people, again, this is a program with a pretty diverse audience. And a lot of people don't know, you're involvement, Babylon B with what happened with Elon Musk and Twitter can one of you give us some idea of how that went down or how that started? Yeah, well, I mean, we interviewed Elon Musk back in December. And we started to kind of just develop a relationship with them. You know, he'll comment on our stuff on Twitter. He's kind of always weighing in on laughing emojis or whatever on a Babylon B article. So when we got a band, it was, I don't know that that was the, you know, I don't know, there's a lot of news stories like this. There's a lot of news stories like that will be bought Twitter just so he could read baby or Elon Musk but Twitter just so he could rebound along B stories. What's 40 billion?

Kyle Mann and Joel berry, congratulations on the new book, the postmodern pilgrims progress. It's such a good idea that I wish I had thought of it. But I'm also glad that I didn't, because then I would have had to write it. And you guys already did that. Tell me, tell me more about what's in the book because it's, look, it's a little bit like shooting fish in a barrel. Like when you get a good idea like this, I can only imagine both of you thinking like, I know what I want to satirize. This is, you know, and we've been talking about some of that. And it is funny. And we need to make fun of these things. Because when you make fun of things, it helps you understand them, frankly, better. You do a lot of that in the Babylon bee. But so give me some more. Give my audience some more ideas on what is inside the postmodern pilgrims progress. Even so one early encounter that our main character goes through is really fun to write. I have a massive G.K. Chesterton fan. And I think chapter 7 or 8 he encounters Chesterton's fence. And if anybody doesn't know what Chesterton's fence is, it was this concept that Chesterton popularized that if you stumble across a fence in a field, don't tear it down until you know why it's there. And he's like, he says the traditional reformers would say, I may allow you to tear the fence down, but first tell me why it exists. And it's so like, I don't know, it's so applicable to our current day because we tear down institutions. We defund police. We tear down walls that our ancestors set up without asking why they're even there. And in some cases, yeah, institutions do need to be questioned and maybe some old rules do need to be turned down. But first we need to ask why thousands of years of humanity led to these traditions. And so it's Chesterton arguing for the wisdom of the pre moderns. Anyway, in our story, there's a literal fence, and there's a group of protesters that is pulling the fence down. Down with fences, fences are oppressive. And our characters engage in conversation with them. Why are you tearing this fence down? And then they're told that their pro fence bigots because they're even asking that question. And of course, eventually it ends in ruin for the protesters who manage to tear the fence down because there's horrible things to be on. Gory. Gory and graphic ruin. Like drug mules? We're not that on the nose, you know. I know, I know that's what you would have done if you had written this book area. That's why I didn't write this book, man. I'm also obviously a Chesterton fan. And it is, it is fascinating because we do need to think about why we're doing what we're doing. And the madness, I mean, when I wrote my book about Martin Luther, it's so fascinating how a good idea, the crazies adopted. And then they run with it, you know? So, you know, the idea that we want to we want to build bridges, like those are good ideas. But when they lead to tearing down walls and discriminately, it's kind of crazy. And that's where we are in the culture. And obviously, that's a big part of the role of satire to kind of show us what we're show us the absurdity of what we're doing rather than ranting about it, actually making the point, I guess, lightly with some levity..

I'm going to bring them on the show as my guests. I'm going to force you to see that there are people even crazier than I. One of them is Kyle Mann, claims to be the editor in chief of the Babylon bee, who believes that. A lot of people claim a lot of things. Managing editor of the Babylon B is Joel berry. Anyway, that's what they claim. Let's see what they have to say. Joel and Kyle, welcome to the program. Thanks for having us. Thanks for having us. You guys claim also to have written a book called the postmodern pilgrims regress. You want me to just take your word for it? Is there any proof? Can you offer my audience any proof of these things? No, that's all fake news. Yeah, it's entirely fake. Another elaborate satire. Yeah. We didn't expect these kind of hard hitting questions from you, Eric. I'm a hard hitting journalist. Okay. This is not fun and games. I don't throw softballs, okay? I want answers. So you guys claim to have written a book called the postmodern pilgrims progress. Let's say you had written a book, let's say such a book exists. Let's say the book is brand new and available in paperback. What is the book about? And I think most people listening to the program are familiar with the Babylon B I would think, but feel free to talk about that if you want. Absolutely. So yeah, we wrote a book that we claimed to have written a book that's a modern take on the on the pilgrim's progress that bunyan wrote. And this is an idea that was bouncing around in my head for quite a while that if we were to take bunions approach to allegory where you have Christian meeting all these people who are like very clearly one to one representations of people that we encounter in the Christian life. And we were to have them encounter people that maybe we encounter more commonly today. Everybody that we talk about that we mock in the Babylon bee kind of represented in this allegorical form. So that's an idea that had been bouncing in my head for a long time. We finally got the opportunity to do it with Salem books. And we were very excited about. And it's just kind of this crazy weird mishmash sci-fi fantasy. Multiverse type story with a lot of humor and some crazy characters that are Salem books. Yes. Salem books is my publisher. And so I can corroborate this independently because I'm going to email them after this. So we're going to prove that now Kyle, when you say you've had this idea to do a postmodern pilgrims progress bouncing around in your head for years, I feel like what can I say to that? Like you should have sought out prayer, I think soaking prayer because it's a disturbing idea that you would have that in your head. And then you would actually execute it. It's unbelievable. Now, look, there are people listening. I'm sure who don't really know, and I'm not joking. What is pilgrim's progress? This is one of the great classics of English literature written by Paul. I was going to say Paul. John bunyan. And how do you describe it for people literally who don't know what is because we live in a culture that has forgotten, you know, the basics. Who is Homer and John Milton. So tell us so that we can understand what you've done, what is pilgrim's progress, this classic book roughly. And so Paul bunyan is the axe guy. Yeah. And with the big ox blue John, the blue ox. John bunyan was a puritan who he actually got thrown in jail and started writing writing this book. And it's arguably the first English novel and which is fascinating to me. It's one of the most widely sold and read books in the world. I think behind.

Kyle Mann and Joel Berry on New Book 'The Post-Modern Pilgrim's Progress'
"I warned you. That there were people crazier than me in this world. You didn't believe me. And I said, you know what? That's on you because I'm going to find them. I'm going to bring them on the show as my guests. I'm going to force you to see that there are people even crazier than I. One of them is Kyle Mann, claims to be the editor in chief of the Babylon bee, who believes that. A lot of people claim a lot of things. Managing editor of the Babylon B is Joel berry. Anyway, that's what they claim. Let's see what they have to say. Joel and Kyle, welcome to the program. Thanks for having us. Thanks for having us. You guys claim also to have written a book called the postmodern pilgrims regress. You want me to just take your word for it? Is there any proof? Can you offer my audience any proof of these things? No, that's all fake news. Yeah, it's entirely fake. Another elaborate satire. Yeah. We didn't expect these kind of hard hitting questions from you, Eric. I'm a hard hitting journalist. Okay. This is not fun and games. I don't throw softballs, okay? I want answers. So you guys claim to have written a book called the postmodern pilgrims progress. Let's say you had written a book, let's say such a book exists. Let's say the book is brand new and available in paperback. What is the book about? And I think most people listening to the program are familiar with the Babylon B I would think, but feel free to talk about that if you want. Absolutely. So yeah, we wrote a book that we claimed to have written a book that's a modern take on the on the pilgrim's progress that bunyan wrote. And this is an idea that was bouncing around in my head for quite a while that if we were to take bunions approach to allegory where you have Christian meeting all these people who are like very clearly one to one representations of people that we encounter in the Christian life. And we were to have them encounter people that maybe we encounter more commonly today. Everybody that we talk about that we mock in the Babylon bee kind of represented in this allegorical

John Solomon Updates Us on John Durham's Latest Filing
"John, what are you working on for your TV show? What's the latest at stories you're going to break? Yeah, we're going to talk a little bit about John Durham in the filing over the weekend. And you know who you are, Ted. Thank you for sending me the filing as soon as it dropped. I've got somebody who just boop sends me the documents. I asked, hey, Dave on Gina, have you got it? No, send it to me. So give us a little update on what's happening with Donald Trump. Listen, he basically, for the first time, accused Hillary Clinton's lawyer, Michael sussman, of political deceit of dropping a false allegation on the FBI and then lying about who he was doing in on behalf of and what assessment had argued is please, he asked the judge, please dismiss these charges because lying to the FBI should be protected by the First Amendment. It's one of his arguments. And the second argument, can you stop there a lawyer, a lawyer actually said that lying to a federal agent is part of the constitution? Basically said that this would have a chilling effect on free speech if he was allowed to be prosecuted for lying to the FBI. I'm not making it up. You can read it just the news. It's crazy. So there's that argument. And then the other argument is that what he told the FBI wasn't material. It didn't have an effect, and therefore it can't be prosecuted as a felony. Well, John Durham had a very different filing. And he said, it was material. In fact, Michael sussman had told the truth and said he was bringing this to the FBI on behalf of the Clinton campaign in a tech aligned with the campaign. The FBI might not have even opened this part of the Russian government. Well, again, I don't know who his lawyers are, but they seem to be rather cretinous because it's because of this meeting that the FBI opening investigation. So how can you say it's immaterial to a government? Yeah, yeah, listen, I think that's exactly what John Durham said, which is I don't get this argument at all, but just in case you do here, let me give you our side of it. It was a very powerful filing, and it also reminds you how much history could have been changed, had the Clinton people just told

We Don't Know Why John Solomon Was Locked Out of Twitter
"Now. He is the investigative reporter we trust the most, the fact of the new media giant Justin used dot com. John, I asked you before on the rumble feed. I did not expect that answer. Let all of our radio lists know. Are you still off Twitter? I'm still locked out of my account for an offense that they can't even describe what I did wrong. Okay, so everybody's not familiar. What's the backstory? What did you post that got you suspended? I posted a factually accurate story about a study done by an NIH contractor and a respected peer reviewed magazine in the study itself was peer reviewed, saying, hey, there may be some issues with the COVID vaccine affecting the liver tissue or liver DNA. Lots of people have socialized this study. Other news organizations have for some reason I was locked out for doing the same thing. And by the way, we had fear common from the CDC. We did all the things that journalists are supposed to do. This is just censorship for the purpose of censorship, but not for any standards. There's no explanation for it other than they want the silence my voice. Have they are there any instructions? Have you been ordered to delete the tweet or the latest? Now they just said wait 7 days and maybe you'll be out of jail. I don't know. It's crazy. And you know, I've tried to write them saying, please describe my fence, so I don't do it again. You can't get any information back. It's just your shadow boxing with a ghost. You can't tell, but even what you did is I don't tell you because they probably don't know that you did anything wrong.

Explaining the Claim About the Biden Administration and 'Crack Pipes'
"Here's a headline that should get your attention. This is from Fox New York. Biden administration to fund programs to hand out crack pipes. This is such this is a kind of headline. In fact, the Babylon B did a little post and Kyle Mann from the beast says if one of my writers at pitched his headline I'd have rejected it as being too absurd. But, well, it's not entirely absurd as we're gonna find out in a minute. So here are some detail from really a series of news reports. Apparently the Biden administration is concerned about quote advancing racial equity. Racial equity in what? Apparently in drug consumption in the consumption of illegal drugs, and they're thinking here, they refer to the opioid epidemic, but they're also talking about the crack cocaine and crystal meth, epidemics, and apparently Biden's decided that one solution to this epidemic, what normal people would think you are promoting the epidemic is to supply not just crack pipes, but the crack paraphernalia, the whole so called kit. Now think about this. If you bought a crack pipe with your own money and you started buying all this drug paraphernalia, that would be a crime. But for the government to do it, it's not a crime. It's apparently okay. And Jen Psaki was asked about this, the press secretary. And she goes, no, no, no, this is really misinformation. Our kit does contain a lot of paraphernalia for drug users, but it doesn't contain the actual crack pipe. So The White House is pushing back at the idea that they're kind of handing out the crack pipes. They do agree that they're handing out what they call safe smoking kits. This is an echo of the so called safe sex kits of earlier decades. And apparently there's alcohol, swabs and lip balm and clean syringes and other material. So I don't think there's really any doubt here that the Biden administration is in the name of combating drugs. Actually promoting

The Similarities Between Terry McAuliffe and Horace Mann
"I don't know about you, but I like talking to John's mirror. And I was talking to him was a yesterday about John Dewey, Horace Mann, about education about what mcauliffe said before he went down in flames and John, I thought, let's keep talking about that because we had ten minutes here. And I said, this is actually so important. And that's why when he said what he said that parents shouldn't have the right to interfere in what the teachers teach I just thought that is one of the wildest statements I've ever heard. The idea that an adult running for office could say such a thing or even things such a thing, again, call me naive, but I was absolutely astonished. Well, it was a great moment of candor. Terry mcauliffe said in a debate, parents should not be telling teachers what to teach in schools. We have experts for that. That was very candid. And as I said last time, Horace Mann, the founder of mass compulsory public education in America, Horace Mann, school for teachers is associated with Columbia University. I remember seeing it when it would get off to Trevor bridge. He was a Unitarian. He kept that kind of quiet. He was a social gospel reformer, and he thought it was the job of public schools to save children from their parents. You had all these fundamentalist Christians who believed in the Bible. You had all these Catholic immigrants getting off the boat like my ancestors. And they had all these reactionary views. They were not on board with modern science with progressive ideas with eugenics with all the things that the progressive movement had in mind. A massive federal government managing the country from the top down as experts basically peeling away the old constitution. Woodrow Wilson, before he ran for president, wrote a book about how the constitution was this archaic obsolete rickety 18th century mechanism we needed clear it out of the way so that we could run the government according to the dictates of modern science.

Just you're doing a spot on. Judy garland right now. The next thing you've got to do with your voice in the back of your throat and the american accent is you've got to add the ship ashes so could you say shelvin scheduling sausages. We're getting there. This great could already be on the muppet show. Just remember that voice via characterists. Excellent the next thing you've got to do is we've got the voice in the back of the throat. We've got the american accent. We've got the shes you know. You've got to get into the emotion off liza. You never know if she's going to laugh or cry. I really relate to her. And so you're gonna say something funny and yet tragic at the same time. Make it quite breathy as well like. She's like she's been running up the stairs. Oh my schnauzer. Fell down the toilet. But then he drowned. My schnauzer fell down the toilet. But then he draw. That's very good and now if you could just so you have come up the stairs. You've been running a marathon. I've had both hips replaced scrapes. Liza and then i standing ovation from all view and for me. I'd like you to sing. Come charles a cop. Excellent well done. Some people are too hung over to stand up that side next. It's the equality panel chaired by voice. Over ollie murphy and featuring actor david monte too but we start off with actor really botha who is non binary one of the big challenges. I'm coming up against at. The moment is being asked to deliver non binary voice which i will tell you competently now does not exist country. What you might have been told there is no such thing. I have an binary voice because i am a there are people who were assigned to ask my l. Have really high voice people site developer. Who have really lone voices. And i think yeah one of one of the main things i think in terms of like how my identity sweet something that i have had putting industry with is a significant education around the nuances of upstate. Changing right upstairs. It's a new concept for lenexa. Everyone has had young croat biggest ones. I think yeah. I completely agree with you is myself i. I need to educate myself more on. Because see the castings come through in a lot of the non binary now and i think constant people think they're saying it's contel male or female whereas it's not and i think what's important when we're talking about casting authentically is that the non binary choice to our people who do not identify as something like mail email but do identifies non binary and they have those experiences behind them. And that's what is needed in. Cast ingles intake late. This is really important. If people see things that are four transjet characters and they are not transgender. Please take this custom obvious. Whatever i think a lot of the time it's people not knowing which is why. I think this really important to speak it with everybody say that this awareness people realize very heavily not realizing.

And there's a series of her books and on the other end of the spectrum from short to long is the thriller. Steel fear which i wrote with former navy seal brandon webb Go gabriel is with current sales coach and teacher and speaker. Extraordinaire bob berg. And a bunch of books in between which. Maybe we'll talk about the best advice. I ever got was a teacher who said basically this said. This is good what you did. This is good but it could be better. And with that. Since i could be better with phil with me. That's a great segue. i love john. Thank you man. And i love that. You showed bob's book and your book because that is one of my favorites right. I think that's actually how. I how i was brought into your universe with the go giver on many years ago. Maybe there's something else. I don't know but it was no. It's not no no no. That's not true. I sent for your newsletter hundred years ago before i even bob. That's how i met you really young man. You have a way back i do. Well i worked at eight hundred zero read for a while. So you're the guy right roy memoirs and stuff like that and i was like ooh. This is interesting i think time. Didn't you have a pet blog. If memory serves wordpress. Your yeah early early early early blog. Not as early as neil gaiman but still pretty early. Yeah yeah or. Chris brogan rights on the and chris brogan. I two bloggers that we all know right. Famous guys christina. Sixteen hundreds removing himself from facebook and instagram. But still everywhere else so yeah cool man. So so that's that's really solid advice and that that makes me laugh because your book you didn't share because it's it's not really physical but it kind of is you showed me. Is you know how to write good or at least gooder which i think is really funny right and i say that because most people say well you want to write great but good john. Why is good good. Because you know i can't. It's like how do you write a masterpiece. Well first of all if you're going to try to write a masterpiece that you're frozen from the start. I can't right. I can't right how the excellent. I don't know how to do that. I don't know how to sit down and make something phenomenal. I don't know how to sit down and write a paragraph that is so powerful it will make you weep and then make you go. Oh my god. My life has changed. I don't know how to do that. Here's what i know how to do. I know how to write an okay paragraph and then come back to it tomorrow and make it better I know how to take an idea and get the rough of it on paper which actually may be pretty crappy and honestly often it is. I'm not being modest. The the first thing. I write down when working on a project whether it's a blog post or it's a it's a parable or it's a full-fledged big non fiction or fiction book the first drafts of anything we'll tend to be pretty bad or at least not pretty not so great And then they require work. They require improvement. I need to win away the stuff that it's not necessary. I need to find a better word better way of saying that. A better way of focusing that point. I need to look into this from say. Okay i get all this. But what am i really trying to say. Because i'm of talking around the point not quite nailing it and that. I need to sand away this stuff. You know the whole the whole famous thing about Michelangelo and the david statue carving away all the part of the statute. That isn't david. It's like that. There's a great idea in there. But it takes a widdling and sanding and chopping in chiseling to to get to it. So it's like if my goal is to write great. I don't know about that but if my goal is to write good and then little gooder and keep keep striving every day. I like the old lexus. Slogan you know the the pursuit of excellence the endless pursuit of excellence The it's the pursuit. The pursuit is. What is what lands you in something. That's that's gonna really click for people and and have an impact that's interesting. That's interesting but you know tom. Peters wrote in search of excellence right next book is maybe you should retitled yours to in pursuit of excellence. Because that's i think that's what the writing is all about to your point. We have a. We have an engine if you will right to your lexus analogy. Yes how we have to craft the car around it. We have this story around. That's that's really interesting to me to hear. You say that. Because i have to tell you you know reading your work. I always feel like it's beyond good. I mean truly john. I don't say then letter you man i read your stuff you know as i said i know that i've read newsletters from you way back when they were just taxed when you you gave away the boat and i and i don't know if i somehow subscribed with my other email address or something but i'm like oh here's john again. Which is when it's so interesting. so how. How do you find that that. That central core message. I mean like for the go giver right. I mean the go givers central messages. Really it's the antithesis of most people's us sales journey it is not about service at all in sales and yet somehow that is really what this book is all about with pindar and all of this. So so how'd you find that. How do you find that that nugget. And then how do you. How do you build a car around it. You know Well i wanted to answer to that. I thank you very kindly for the nice thing she said about about my writing and just to kind of prove my point in that book how to write good which does exist albeit not physically. It's an e book. It's a free download on site. But in that book i devote a whole chapter to the first page of the go giver. Excuse me and i show you.

We're all the little parts connect together. There's an old joke. There's an old joke about in the world of you know nerd conversations about superheroes. Let steve austin the six million dollar man and there's something really implausible several things that are extremely implausible about him including that his i had been replaced with a robot. I but one of the you know he's got he's got robot legs and he's got one robot arm. The robot legs let them run. Superfast young robot arm mixing extremely strong. Well what's the part of that. That's kind of implausible for somebody. Who thinks about it for more than a minute. The steve austin doll that. I got for christmas in nineteen seventy five. Seventy six came with an engine block. Did his little grip. Behan could lift when when you press the button on his back. Yeah receive austin writes better stronger faster but like how's that arm attached right at the has to attach to something that yeah so he put like you know the thing is if you buy a pound of hamburger and put a padlock on it. The lock is fine but the ham- is not secure. No you just pull it right out of the meat. That was a really good analogy here. It's one thing to say like okay. We'll logan has this healing ability and so we can. We can coachman adamantine in the cruelest conceivable way. Because he's continuously adam and then he weighs a thousand or whatever but the so. Why is that analogous to dan's new computer. Well you're always going to suffer from the weakest link in the chain and there's you know is true in project management. It's true in life. It's true and hamburgers and it's computers is that you're gonna be gated. Your your performance is going to be gated or Hindered by the part that ends up. Slamming something down and again. This is just a record but my feeling is with these. Max in particular gates are very open. There's all kinds of stuff that just feels like. It's happening very quickly. All i had to offer here is that there's something some some aspect of owning the whole stack makes us go that more than just like the milan chip is fast. I mean for example. I showed you my bench geek bench on this. So like my mac. I forget which one of the ones it is. But the six thirty two gigs of ram or sixteen. or whatever. it was in my amac. You know that chip for certain kinds of things. It's way faster. Technically i mean stats wise. That's all faster because of this. Big ass style chip. I guess that allow certain kinds of operations go faster on that. You know six year old. Knock but i can tell you like the difference in performance for every aspect of what i do is way faster on the one. Even though the geek bench says that that there's a certain kind of operation that they're able to measure that's faster on that six year old computer do. Do you know what i mean like. There's something happening. It's like you know they've they've figured out how to make the hamburger just the strongest the padlock..

But i think things to share Let's see us. Isn't that interesting kind of do it. Anyway yeah might be interesting First of all. I wanted to provide some context for this dan. Have you heard that phrase bagging back as a philosophy revolting sean. Yes sure sure. It's okay if you haven't The last as we record this the last published episode of reconcilable differences with Virus truth or John accusa includes you know. We've talked a lot about bagging. A bag long story short. It's a philosophy that i have on the face of it from a practical component as you say yes about learning to like. If you've got a backpack you need to have. That's bag but then you can have a bag in your bag so you might have a bag. That's got your your pens or your weed and then inside of that bag there might be smaller bags like for pills or wheat and the point. Being that bag in a bag is a practical way to as john actually had a really good metaphor for this analogy metaphor simile. It's like a house. Where like if you've got to two floors on your house two stories or am i talking about jd salinger anyway stories on your house two stories and then those are broken up into different rooms. That is conceptually in a bag. You have a big thing called a house inside the house you have stories or floors and cited that you have rooms and then inside of the rooms you've got you've got a room called kitchen but inside of kitchen you've got cabinet and cabinet. How most people knows. Most people know what you're saying. I like this isn't like a new. But if you if you if you look scans at the bag concept and this is why i like. John's metaphor of the house will imagine that you had neither rooms nor floors in your house. And this is how we got the title of the episode pile of bed. Basically all your stuff is in one big pile. Your bed in your salad forks are all in the same pile which is not beneficial. You have seeded a lot of the benefits of your house by not having the the sub areas that make it useful and enjoyable which sounds incredibly obvious. But if you've got a giant ass backpack like i've got the bag and bad concept is very important. Now why am i talking so much about this. You don't know the bag in a bag. it's a philosophy. it's also it's also a philosophy of of planning. It's a philosophy of thinking about the future. something. I a friend of the show john roderick we're talking about a I don't wanna wanna spoil it for folks but he has been on a rather epic journey across this great country of ours. And we're talking about how you pack a car. Packing a car is very much an instance of bag. Because think about whether you're doing that for the long winters going on tour or for having you and all the women in your family and the same vehicle to drive across the country you gotta think not just. This is what i say to john. It's like tetris. But it's not just tetris in terms of the two d. bounding boxes of these polygons or whatever. It's also it's a three packing job and what you put where becomes very important if you need to get to. What's an example if you need to get to your snacks well. Snacks are just somewhere in the packing area. And you can't get to it. That makes your snacks less useful. The snacks like to give up. When you pack a car just for a short trip. We usually bring a cooler with some Some milwaukee sir stuff like that For that to be where we can't get to a while we're driving is not useful you know..

Sort of non bbc esque completely opinionated show but from a british perspective. You know we used to say that from other countries but that's not how they're positioning it yet. I think maybe that will come so so interesting that it's taken so long in a way for there to be a nightly opinion show at a time.

They're super serving people. And that's something that tv hasn't done very well in this country and in power so does youtube and impact.

"Going for twenty years in the us looking at digital audio consumption so it's podcasting but it's also streaming and other stuff that people are doing smart speakers and on their phones and whatever else studies being going into strategy for five years now and and what we do is it's a mirror of the american study one thousand respondents in each country. It's the population. Spread is indicative of the australian population. So we've got a uniform sample. What we're doing is studying consumption on digital audio from stra so the first one is a monthly podcast listening in twenty twenty one it had. It had a big rise. Now take a look at the rise over the previous years. It was pretty steady but in twenty one and had a big rise when we look at weekly consumption it took another rise. So is it covert. Could it be something else here. Are two data points that we did not release in the study because of the sheer size of the study. The first one is the length of time. How long have people been listening as a podcast listener. Now we start to get a a sense of what's happening here. The study was conducted in in january to march this year so nine percent of australians had been listening for less than six months percent had been listening six months to less than one year. He's a sign. What is the cova traffic. What does it covered pickup. We're now looking at about twenty nine percents and then from the the amount of estranged from one year to listen threes thirty five percent. So what we're seeing is the vast majority of australians who sampling podcasts on newbies to it this is another data point that we've that we've not really previously is how many podcasts or restricting subscribing to so it's stable. So what's what's happening. Here is is seven seven podcasts. At people are subscribing to it is down. I think what's happening here is that there are new. Podcast consumers coming in still getting their head around things. But it's not. It's not like like us in the room. Who will subscribe to an abundance of podcast. People have this favorites and listening from there. So what's happening here is is thinking about that. Rising weekly consumption. Think about the length of time that people have been listening to podcasts. It's actually a mixture of people coming in for the first time. And those who have been fairly. Disengage with podcasting before who were now spending more time with it for now. I will jump to richard to talk about the australian podcast. Thanks jamie if you haven't downloaded or saying the incident doll encourage everyone to do it. I love it every year. It's like christmas. I've been a box full of goodies insights to help guide the market now the australian paul kosh ranker's been going as we know since october two thousand and nineteen with these phenomenal publishes up on screen. Now that make up radio television newspaper independence and they do a great job every single week every day creating content now the australian puck hush frank podcast measurements technical guidelines to be able to measure publishes. So like the locking. The reason for the ranka with the help of commercial radio australia was to be able to put trust in what was being put out to market for agencies and by so they can better understand what the makeup of the podcast landscape is and the download in market so every month we measure over forty eight million or last month we measured from participating publishes forty eight point two million downloads of content. And that's incredible and that makes up. Eighteen publishes two and a half thousand podcast measured and over two hundred and sixty thousand episodes. Now i was surprised by this. When i was digging through the dot i was like wow two hundred and sixty thousand episodes that we measure up. The next slide is really interesting to Twenty-five thousand were uploaded in april. So that means there's over two hundred thousand episodes in the month of april that would download it so when you're creating content and you're thinking about credit new content think about the longtime content. Think about how you can. Usual platforms dynamic ad insertion or dynamic content insertion to make content. That's relevant for win downloaded. So if you put in an advertiser and we own the words baked in if you bacon and advertiser you baking contents targeted for today. Well it's not going to be relevant next month or the month. After so using dynamic content or dynamic ad insertion is really going to nail home. You'll content with the when they downloaded. So this is this is a really interesting figue. So the month of april this is the top one hundred podcast and the oldest rallying top one hundred podcast and it's really encouraging here. Is that the australian content is not too dissimilar to the top one hundred overall so the top one hundred majors all podcast download international and local but the oldest rallying top. One hundred podcast is a straddling content is created here. And you can see. There's some really strong titles and both of those data might here right here in australia and this is the breakdown of the cat agrees so comedy stylings. We love do particularly level off. 'specially at myself followed by news society and culture true crime sports and business now just going back to the top one hundred and those top ten when you're creating your content being in the top ten doesn't mean your like success. Well it doesn't mean you're successful. You're getting download but if you're creating content that targets business uses a bit like the publisher of fear and greed. That's in the rancor that is making audience making content for a niche audience as relevant for them. And it's very successful. And we say that in their within numbers and the numbers that have been downloaded each month. It doesn't mean being in the top ten that you're not successful. You're just making content. That's your that is successful and then there's also successful for your advertisers and brands that are with you. This one is one that we haven't shown before this shows the platform breakdown of where the listening is happening and this. I'm sure everyone in the room is very interested to say this. So as you can say there's always that conversation around what's the biggest platform where the downloads happening from. So apple podcasts dominate. So this is numbers over the last six months taking a look at so apple with severi followed by iowa's unspecified apps now. What does that mean. That means they're upset a using ios devices that are using apple media library to be able to send the audio to the end use up. We're not always able to identify those. So we see that as unspecified followed behind it as spotify but what we see in the numbers as i was looking back over the months google podcasts and platforms like hot and others slowly rising and this judah the continent creating especially when we look at platforms. Like i. hot where the making content just for their platform. You have to get it on their platform but google podcasts and assistance or assistance devices. Were saying that rise month-on-month and that's because people creating more content that snacker bill and you can easily get to it by just saying. Hey google i want to listen to x. Podcast little bit of a change from the last six months looking over six months the six months before this wednesday was the most dominant data. Download the podcast as we get busier later on in the week friday. We've got work to do or if you're like me from about lunchtime it's fraught afternoon drinks said i've got family. We've got kids. Sundays is a little bit of an uptick day. So when creating your contact keep in mind that majority of the listening that's happening from the participating publishes is in first four days of the week tuesday being the most dominant. So what does the next twelve months. Look life okay so we saw the rising weekly consumption. We saw the rise in monthly consumption. If i compare that to a graph from the us we used to be three years behind if you track. How many australians consuming podcasts on a regular basis compared to the us we threes behind as of twenty one we now six months behind the other the other slide. Another piece of stuff that we have is that podcasting awareness amongst australian is ninety. One percents and i compares with the us which is seventy seven. So i think we're going to see probably in the next twelve months australian consumption per capita surpassed the us and australia become a leading market for for global consumption per capita for podcasting which is fantastic. We do need to tip of that with a bit of a bit of realism there around the subscriber numbers. These people that are coming on are not going to be consuming more podcasts. Or the regular person isn't gonna be consuming more podcast. And they were. That's subscriber base is still going to stay the same so i think from a podcast creator. Point of view the messages that everyone's been doing forever around subscribing following continue to be important And that presents an opportunity to challenge. The first one is that there are people trying podcasting all the time. So you're gonna get new followers but for your existing followers. They going to only have a capacity to engage in. Subscribe to so much. Just be mindful that as people see new podcast actually probably going to make a decision of which ones are going to drop off from so it is a it is an an opportunity risk. And it's it's about what richard was saying about the ongoing process of engagement in keeping keeping your listeners. hooked so i think from australian promotion and credit point of view. We've got a fantastic twelve months coming up and where i say the next twelve months the platforms that we showed up on the screen before around. Spotify iheart apple podcasts. I see them growing plums. Spotify iheart listen to app and publishes having their own apps growing content that is only exclusive. Were exclusive today platform. I see them growing. They share and downloads in the market. I'm and then. I see a lot more investment from appetizers and we'll publish joining the australian pod rancor over the next twelve months but it's an exciting industry and we're glad to be here in some of these figures.

And like george having a chat to me that much more valuable than this image which is not my favorite Great not anything pilot. Twenty minutes george. Carlin man just listening to him on a personal one-on-one is everything and that is so much of the experience and yeah happens a lot with celebrities by real people as well. It's like when you get a chance to really you know. And it's an it's brief and it's fleeting and for that can be offensive. 'cause you know you're probably never gonna see that person again that that to me is experiencing what i'm beginning to understand looking back.

It's it sounds like a blended these three different things definitely. I would say the third one is the most important as a so many examples of just as anybody kind of talk to me about photography or portraiture knows in you know somebody somebody comes into just as we kind of touched on achim interim i commend to room both there for a purpose. You're there have your picture taken on there to make the picture. It's hard to remember. But i was thinking twenty five years ago but what i'm thinking nine is my light annot akano what i'm doing right thirty years if i don't know i you know. Second nature exposure second nature composition is not second nature. But it's coming easier to me nine so all i have to do Great team that helps you know with these things. I'm so very aware of everything. That's going on but i know i don't have to think about the only.
