In this eye-opening episode, Nicki Reisberg and Denise Champney dive deep into the growing influence of technology in education—unpacking both its false promises and its perils. With schools increasingly reliant on screens and AI-powered tools, what's being lost? From the risks of inappropriate content slipping through school devices to the hidden dangers of data collection and declining critical thinking skills, this conversation challenges the blind adoption of EdTech. Nicki and Denise advocate for a smarter, more balanced approach—one that prioritizes traditional learning methods, safeguards student privacy, and empowers parents to push back against excessive screen time. Could the key to better education be a return to paper, books, and real-world interaction? All signs point to yes.Tech-safe Learning Coalition (TLC) - Resources for parents related to school-issued techWorkgroups at Fairplay - Screens in SchoolDenise's SubstackAbout Denise ChampneyDenise Champney is a school based speech language pathologist with over 25 years experience working in the public school setting supporting students in grades K-12.

Mia Hughes is an Ottawa-based British journalist and researcher for Michael Shellenberger's nonprofit, Environmental Progress. Mia authored the WPATH Files report, which exposed widespread medical mistreatment of children, adolescents, and vulnerable adults in the realm of gender-affirming care. We were both in Lisbon, Portugal, for the Genspect conference—which uncoincidentally coincided with WPATH's conference. (NB I reached out to WPATH organizers and speakers to have a conversation about their reasoning for gender-affirming care. As expected, I received no responses. Throughout this conversation I made an effort to steelman WPATH arguments.)Mia and I began with the concept of "Gender Soul." This led to a discussion about medical interventions in gender-affirming care.Watch this episode on YouTube.Cozen O'Connor Public Strategies - The Beltway BriefingListen for of-the-moment insider insights, framed by the rapidly changing social and...Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify More Than the Dress“More than the Dress” is a biweekly podcast hosted by Michele C.

Mia Hughes, a journalist for the think tank Environmental Progress, discusses the controversy surrounding pediatric medical transition and the collision of trans rights with the rights of women and the LGB community. She authored the recently released WPATH files, which expose the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) as an activist group with questionable medical practices. The conversation delves into the history of WPATH, its influence on healthcare for trans-identified people, and the lack of evidence supporting its treatment protocols. Mia highlights the ethical dilemmas and potential harm caused by the medicalization of gender identity and the irreversible interventions performed on minors. The conversation delves into the harmful effects of gender-affirming medical treatments, particularly on adolescents. Mia discusses the leaked internal discussions from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) and highlights the lack of scientific evidence and the political activism within the organization. They emphasize the importance of informed consent and the need to protect vulnerable individuals, especially minors, from irreversible medical interventions. The conversation also touches on the potential for future lawsuits and the contrasting approaches to gender-affirming care in North America and Europe.

Mia Hughes, author of the recently released WPATH Files report, joins me today to discuss the medical scandal of our era. Together, we uncover the shocking revelations from the leaked files, exposing the mistreatment of vulnerable individuals seeking gender transition. We explore how the official-sounding “World Professional Association for Transgender Health” got its name, and whether that title is deserved or misleading. What happens when an organization with so much power strays from ethical standards and prioritizes political agendas over patient well-being? What role do autogynephiles play in leading the charge for widespread normalization of radical body modifications? How does the shift from ego-syntonic to ego-dystonic framing impact the treatment of psychiatric conditions, and what are the implications of the de-psychopathologization of gender identity for individuals seeking sex trait modifications?Join us as we navigate the complexities of gender dysphoria, questioning the validity of medical pathways and the true motives behind the trans rights movement. Are we witnessing a dangerous trend of consumer-driven medicine at the expense of Hippocratic ethics?Mia Hughes is an Ottawa-based British journalist and researcher for Michael Shellenberger's nonprofit Environmental Progress.

Peter Boghossian joined two of his favorite Michaels for Spectrum Street Epistemology in Santa Barbara, California. Bestselling authors and esteemed public intellectuals Michael Shermer and Michael Shellenberger discussed a number of topics ranging from religion to alien life. Peter began with a claim that elicited points of agreement and disagreement: “Christianity is a better bulwark against ‘woke' than humanism.” This opens a discussion of nihilism, objective vs. subjective views of reality, and moral realism and pragmatism. They consider the primal (and political) rejection of free speech, history's moral arc, the limits of knowledge, and epistemic humility. Both gentlemen clarify their views on alien life and Mr. Shellenberger, a Christian, identifies the “most important” Biblical passage. Michael Shellenberger is an author, investigative journalist, and the founder & president of Environmental Progress, a nonprofit research organization. He also co-founded the California Peace Coalition, an alliance of parents of children killed by fentanyl and parents of homeless addicts. Michael is the author of “Break Through: From the Death of Environmentalism to the Politics of Possibility” (with Ted Nordhaus), “Apocalypse Never: Why Environmental Alarmism Hurts Us All,” and most recently, “San Fransicko: Why Progressives Ruin Cities.” Peter and Michael published “Woke Psychopathology: A Taxonomy” in October 2023. Michael Shermer is the world's leading skeptic and Founding Publisher of Skeptic magazine. He hosts the podcast The Michael Shermer Show and is a Presidential Fellow at Chapman University where he teaches Skepticism 101. Dr. Shermer is the author of several books, including the New York Times bestsellers “Why People Believe Weird Things” and “The Believing Brain.” His latest book is “Conspiracy: Why the Rational Believe the Irrational.” Watch this episode on YouTube.

Nine per cent of all green house gas emissions in the US are from Agriculture and cattle are responsible for 2%.  To identify the magnitude of the challenges, EPA does an annual inventory of the GHG contributions from each industry. In the effort to achieve carbon neutrality, Methane from cattle production has become a major target; however per capita consumption has already been declining for years while the population keeps growing, with corresponding demand for more meat in global diets.  Fortunately solutions are being found in programs like AgNext at Colorado State University where Dr. Sara Place is a Professor of Feedlot Systems. www.agnext.colostate.edu

Hunter Biden Lawyers try a dirty trick and debunking Church of Climatology

Today's show starts with a concerning sound bite from earlier today. While Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) was talking to reporters, his brain locked up and he had to be helped from the lectern. As an 81 year old politician, is it wrong to start asking whether or not having some kind of basic, cognitive test needs to be implemented? Moving to the massive news of the day starts with events from yesterday. It seems an attorney on Hunter Biden's team decided to pull a dirty trick and pretended to be representing the attorney from the Chair of the House Ways and Means Committee. Jessica L. Bengels is the Director of Litigation Services for Latham and Watkins, LLP. She asked that an amicus brief submitted to the docket be removed. That brief contained all of the recent documentation and testimony of the whistleblowers the GOP wanted the judge to have when deciding on whether or not to accept the sweetheart deal Hunter Biden was hoping to be given. When that blew up yesterday, it started a chain of questions today from Federal Judge Maryellen Noreika about the terms of the deal that had been cooked up between the DOJ and Biden's attorney's. Seems there was a lot more in the terms than we knew. Had the judge accepted it, any and all crimes still being investigated on Hunter Biden would become null and void due to falling under double-jeopardy. Yes, folks, the special deal would have insulated Hunter from everything being discussed over the last several weeks. As of this moment, it seems Hunter had to plead not guilty and a trial date will be set. As a final dig at Biden, the judge put out a list of conditions for his release. DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas was testifying before Congress today. In an exchange with Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), it is readily apparent that Mayorkas is nothing more than a Marxist radical bent on the destruction of the United States. His smug and dishonest behavior warrants immediate impeachment proceedings for the harm he has done to Americans via his dereliction of duty. Finally, we get to some interesting sound bites from former zealots in the Church of Climatology. We start with Professor Judith A. Curry who said her conversion away from the faith happened after Climategate in 2009. After seeing how disingenuous the IPCC was behaving, she chose to see if the scientific community could do better. She was branded a heretic. Alex Nichol was once associated with a member of the Liberal Party in Australia. Her expertise was in Green Energy and was responsible for learning all about wind and solar farms. What she discovered about wind turbines is they are nothing more than a scam that is costing Australian taxpayers billions of dollars a year annual to do virtually nothing. In another story from Scotland, the government is finally admitting it took down over 16 million trees to put up their wind farms. Talk about an ecological disaster. They are clearing thousands of acres and millions of trees to put up Green Tech that doesn't work. Plus, a new report from Environmental Progress shows solar-panels are more carbon-intensive than previously claimed. According to the report, it's at least three times the carbon emissions than the IPCC states. Geologist Ian Plimer reminds us all that the only thing regulating the Earth's temperature is that great ball of heat in the sky, which we call ‘the Sun.' But, there is no money to be made nor power to be gained when you admit that. Lastly, we get a moment of levity from our Vice President. It's been awhile, so it's time we had another episode of Deep Thoughts with VP Kamala Harris. Take a moment to rate and review the show and then share the episode on social media.

Michael Shellenberger appreciates the challenge skeptics offer regarding the existence of UFOs (also termed UAPs, "Unexplained Aerial Phenomena"). Skeptics, true believers, and everyone in between have taken note of Michael's reporting on the topic. In this conversation with Peter Boghossian, Michael explains his level of confidence about visitations by non-terrestrial spacecraft. (Peter says the verified discovery of alien spacecraft would be a revolution comparable to humanity's domestication of fire—and he wants it to be true but requires evidence.)Peter and Michael also discuss a more down-to-earth possible cover-up regarding the source of COVID-19. They explore free speech, censorship for adults vs. children, the Orwellian “Institute for Strategic Dialogue,” levels of societal hate, “crazy-making,” the attitudinal disposition to the truth as a basis of friendship, their friendship, and much more. Michael Shellenberger is an author, investigative journalist, and the founder & president of Environmental Progress, a nonprofit research organization. He also co-founded the California Peace Coalition, an alliance of parents of children killed by fentanyl and parents of homeless addicts.

We're starting the week with a Special Edition COBT with a great friend of the firm, independent energy and climate thinker, and former COBT guest,  Michael Shellenberger. Michael is the Founder & President of  Environmental Progress, Author of " Apocalypse Never: Why Environmental Alarmism Hurts Us All" and most recently " San Fransicko: Why Progressives Ruin Cities." He is currently running for Governor of California as an Independent and is passionate about the future of his home state. Should he be elected, he intends to push the state back to a pro-growth, pro-civilization agenda. We were excited to dig into his campaign, life on the ground in California, and of course his proposed policy changes. Our discussion was timely as California's primary election for Governor is taking place today, Tuesday, June 7th. In our discussion with Michael, we discuss his journey to running for office and identifying as an independent, his passionate voter base, the homeless, public drug use, growing security problems, the mental health crisis, the nation's highest gasoline costs, the "Curley Effect," and his plan for California to rebuild communities with both compassion and accountability. We also touch on Michael's energy views including the importance of energy abundance, desalination plants, water storage plants, and nuclear energy for the state. We're rooting for Michael in this election and hope that his pro-growth and pro-civilization message will resonate with California's constituents. The Veriten team quickly hit a few key points to start the show:  Mike Bradley shared the equation for this year's hot and difficult summer and passed it to Colin Fenton who noted the other historical anniversary of June 6th besides D-Day and built on Mike's comments with a note to keep an eye on SP-15 power prices. It was a great opportunity to visit with Michael on the eve of the election and we can't thank him enough for sharing his time. As always, we hope you enjoy!
