At this critical moment for democracy and our country, Yolanda Savage-Narva, Vice President of Racial Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, Communities of Belonging for the Union for Reform Judaism, moderates a conversation about the inextricable link between Jewish safety and our democratic freedoms with Congressman Jamie Raskin of Maryland's 8th Congressional District; Amy Spitalnick, CEO of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs; and Maya Wiley, President and CEO of The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights. This program was held on September 26 in partnership with JCPA and Tree of Life.
In this episode of “E&P Reports,” Danielle Coffey, president & CEO of the News/Media Alliance (NMA), discussed recent developments in the media landscape, highlighted the implications of California's public-private partnership with Google and the status of the Journalism Competition & Preservation Act (JCPA), and the recent Department of Justice (DOJ) ruling against Google for antitrust violations. Coffey emphasized the ongoing challenges and opportunities for news publishers in securing fair compensation for their content from Big Tech platforms. She reiterated the importance of unity within the industry to navigate these changes effectively and advocated for continued legislative and legal efforts to protect and support quality journalism.

A poll by the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs has found a large majority of the Israeli public opposes the creation of a Palestinian state, or linking it to normalization process with Saudi Arabia. Dr. Dan Diker, president of the JCPA, told reporter Arieh O'Sullivan that the October 7th Hamas-led war particularly hardened younger Israelis against the concept of a Palestinian state.

Welcome to the public version of the FreezeNet Official Podcast for July, 2023. This month's episode is entitled "Appetite for Self Destruction" after the media's efforts to basically blow themselves up with Bill C-18. This episode also covers the government side of things as well as finishing off the special coverage of the Bill C-18 senate hearings. We also cover the JCPA as well as a TikToker getting upset at ITV News in Britain. In addition to that, we also cover all the usual music and video game reviews. All of this and more on this month's episode! If you'd like a transcript of this month's episode, you can head on over to Freezenet.ca and check out the official page for this episode.
Legacy media operations really, really want tech companies that send them traffic to pay them as well. From Rupert Murdoch's link tax in Australia to the very bad JCPA in America, these requirements are nonsensical and run directly counter to the core functioning of the internet. Currently, one of the biggest pushes for such a law is happening in Canada with the government's Bill C-18 — and it's certainly no exception. Nobody has been following C-18 closer than law professor and researcher Michael Geist, and this week he joins us on the podcast to discuss the status of the bill and why, like similar laws around the world, it's a very bad idea.
On December 5th, 2022, well-known news publishing analyst Ken Doctor, published a 2800-plus word updatevia Nieman Lab on the 2-year progress of his innovative Santa Cruz, CA digital news start-up, Lookout Local. Within the document, Doctor pulls no punches about his opinion on the state of legacy media and its desire to help bolster a sustainable business model via big tech compensation by writing: "Lookout Local has never been about money itself, but money to the end of the mission — money that can prove out the proposition that a robust replacement for suicidal dailies can, indeed, be built. That's especially important in the age of Gannett's trainwreck, Axios Local's skimming, and the misguided Journalism Competition and Preservation act currently before Congress.” He also claims good progress, with a digital-only local news enterprise reporting that without print costs, 80% of his bottom-line expenses are a staff of 15 full-time people, with 10 working in the newsroom and five on the business side. He also states proudly, "We're old-fashioned, working in a real office, with face-to-face communication throughout the week." The lengthy article also offers industry advice crafted as 11 important "takeaways" as lessons learned over the past 2-years. They include being patient and aggressive, planning but being improvisational, making good friends, leaning on them, and including students in your newsroom. In this 170th episode of E&P reports, we check in again with media analyst Ken Doctor on how the last 2-years have gone in his quest to build a perfect, sustainable model in local journalism he calls Lookout Local. We also ask him about his opinions on the future of legacy media and why he was so publicly against the recently failed, Local Journalism Sustainability Act (JCPA). Also appearing is Ashley Harmon (Holmes), Lookout Local's new director of sales & marketing.
As Executive Vice President and General Counsel for the News Media Alliance, Danielle Coffey leads the advocacy efforts for the NMA's over 2000 news and magazine publishing members worldwide. 2022 was a busy year for Coffey as the U.S. Congress held committee meetings to consider passage of the well-publicized “Journalism Competition and Preservation Act” (JCPA), introduced in the House (H.R. 1735) by Rep. David Cicilline (D-RI) and Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO), and in the Senate (S. 673) by Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA). If made into law, this legislation, greatly supported by the news publishing industry, would allow news publishers to collectively negotiate with “big tech” platforms like Google and Facebook for fair compensation for using the news content these publishers generate. The NMA has been promoting a number of cogent arguments as to why the JCPA is necessary to help local news publishers maintain sustainable business models. These "talking points" include: “News publishers provide must-have content for the platforms to capture viewers. Between 16% and 40% of Google search results are news content. Publishers deserve fair compensation for the value they offer. By not paying them fairly for their content, Big Tech has driven many local outlets out of business.” “For every dollar made in digital advertising, the platforms take as much as 70% of the revenue, leaving publishers with a scant 30%. Meanwhile, publishers are paying an additional "ad-tech tax" to the platforms, leaving even less for publishers. As a result of diminished revenues, thousands of journalists have been laid off, and local newspapers have shuttered.” In mid-December of 2022, it looked like the JCPA might pass into law as an attachment to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), a necessary bill designed to keep the military funded. However, the legislation was "erased" from the NDAA at the last minute. Then as a final attempt to help the JCPA become law before the end of the 177th Congress, legislators attempted to attach it to the controversial $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill. However, last-minute lobbying from consumer, trade and civil society advocates like the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU); Free Press Action; the Center for Democracy & Technology; and Local Independent Online News Publishers (LION) deluged Congressional leaders with last-minute media that argued against the bill, stating that the JCPA included nothing to guarantee that the monies ultimately paid to news publishers (through negotiation or arbitration) would be used to pay or hire journalists. Their messaging also suggested that the JCPA would favor large media conglomerates, which might “dominate negotiations,” disenfranchising smaller, independent outlets. In this 169th episode of E&P Reports," we go one-on-one with Danielle Coffey, Executive Vice President and General Counsel for the News Media Alliance (NMA), to gain her perspective on what really happened in 2022 to the nearly passed Journalism Competition and Preservation Act” (JCPA). She'll also address why this controversial legislation, designed to allow news publishers to collectively negotiate with “big tech” platforms like Google and Facebook for fair compensation for their use of the news content they monetize, failed to become the law of the land. Coffey also reviews the next steps the NMA will take to keep this legislation alive and the possible future of other content pending compensation models like publisher tax credits and several pending antitrust suits currently being filed by local media companies.

There's the understandable urge to “do something” to fix the difficult situation the news business finds itself in. Government intervention in markets has historically been less common in the U.S., but we're in a time of aggressive industrial policy becoming the norm with measures like the Chips Act and the climate bill. Enter the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act, a bill that was attached to the defense bill winding its way through Congress. The JCPA would force big tech platforms to pay local news publishers for the privilege of sending traffic to these publishers. The measure, which at the moment has been removed from the defense bill although it could always get added back in upcoming the back-and-forth, has proponents who claim that it is a “lifeline” to local publishers by sweeping aside antitrust restrictions to allow them to collectively negotiate terms with big tech platforms like Google and Facebook parent company Meta. Detractors see a cash grab by local news chains that are often run by deep pocketed private equity firms. For its part, Meta has threatened to exit exit news altogether if the measure passes. On this week's episode of The Rebooting Show, I spoke to Chris Krewson, executive director of the Local Independent Online News publishers group, to understand the possible unintended consequences to the bill, which Chris sees as mostly benefiting incumbents, many of which continue to cut journalists as a result of bad business decisions. It doesn't help that many legacy chains are owned by private equity firms that probably shouldn't need government assistance.
The Journalism Competition and Preservation Act (JCPA) is a bill that attempted to attach to the National Defense Authorization Act. After blowback from both the right and the left, the non-defense provision has been stripped from the bill and calls Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's leadership into question. ⭕️Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV

On today's Breitbart News Daily podcast, we open the show with a rundown of news on the JCPA, arrogant Hollywood wokesters, Joe Biden's likely re-election bid, SBF's missing billions, and much more. But then, we have something really special. Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), the Senate GOP's leader on all matters national security and foreign policy, joins the podcast to give a snap reaction to the breaking news that the USA has swapped WNBA pot-head Brittney Griner for international arms merchant Viktor Bout. This is the blockbuster trade of the year and the Senator gives his analysis. Then we get his retrospective on the 2022 midterm elections before we discuss his important work blocking the awful JCPA from being included in the National Defense Authorization Act.

On today's Breitbart News Daily podcast, we begin with a recap of the Georgia U.S. Senate primary runoff. We give you the news, big takeaways on why Herschel Walker lost, and the path forward. Then, we discuss the victory over the JCPA, at least for now, before rolling into immigration news, the revelation that Dr. Anthony Fauci's daughter worked at Twitter during peak censorship, and more in the opening. We hear from Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) on her anti-JCPA efforts as well as her success keeping the military COVID ,vax mandate out of the NDAA. Then, we speak to Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL), first about the JCPA, which he supports, at least for now. It is deliciously awkward. Then we get into a lot of stuff where we agree like Section 230, immigration, impeaching Alejandro Mayorkas, and more.

On today's Breitbart News Daily podcast, we begin with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell caving to Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer by allowing the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) to include the highly controversial media cartel bill the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act (JCPA). Then, we have the New York Times still lying about Hunter Biden's laptop, calling it “stolen.” Plus, the Biden White House has dismissed documents showing collusion between the Biden campaign and Twitter executives to bury the Laptop from Hell as a distraction. Also, we got more good guys fighting back. This time, Gov. Henry McMaster (R-SC) announced that he will seek to ban the Chinese-owned app TikTok from state government devices, citing security concerns. Finally, it's election day in the Georgia U.S. Senate race. We discuss all of that and more! Joining Jerome today is Rep. Greg Murphy (R-NC) - the Congressman sounds of on: an amnesty deal for 2 million DACA illegal aliens making its way through the swamp; Dr. Anthony Fauci playing dumb about federal bureaucrats colluding with social media companies to control speech during the pandemic; and the Moore County, North Carolina power grid attack being looked at as act of domestic terrorism.

Elon Musk revealed a lot of details on Twitter's internal discussions of the censorship of the Hunter Biden "laptop from hell" story from 2020. We actually didn't learn much from the leak, but we give you all the details we can. These revelations did send Donald Trump into a rage, and reasonably so. But for whatever reason, he lashed out at The Constitution. We also hit the zombie media cartel bill (the JCPA), which is back, yet again, and reparations for slavery are under consideration in California, which was a free state. We have two guests today. Fox News contributor and Washington Times opinion editor Charlie Hurt and Breitbart News politics editor Emma-Jo Morris, who is most famous for breaking the "laptop from hell" story.
The Dennis Michael Lynch Podcast is 64-minutes today. DML covers an array of topics. - Kayne West goes insane, pro-Hitler, is removed from Twitter - How conservatives crush themselves and lose elections - Jobs report beats expectations - Two stars, 50, and 56, suddenly die.

On today's Breitbart News Daily podcast, we begin with Pres. Joe Biden distancing himself from what could be a massive rail strike, only after taking credit for avoiding a potential disaster. Jerome then dives into perhaps China's favorite American - Apple CEO Tim Cook - who is headed to Washington, and what Congressmen like Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) should tell Mr. Cook. We then get into South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) banning TikTok for state agencies. She is calling the app an 'intelligence gathering' operation for Communist China. How long before other governors ban TikTok? And then, California is releasing thousands of convicted pedophiles within a year of conviction, and swamp creatures Sens. John Kennedy (R-LA) and Ted Cruz (R-TX) have once again launched a last ditch effort to pass the media bailout bill - JCPA. Our guest today is Wesley Hunt, Republican Congressman-elect for Texas' 38th district. He is an Army vet and West Point grad. Hunt says he's one of many fresh faces coming to Congress committed to changing the old guard and fighting back against a system in Washington that has fail working Americans for far too long.
As the news publishing industry continues to fight the big tech giants, Google & Facebook, for what is considered fair compensation for the content journalists create and that the tech companies monetize via clicks and posts, one voice tweets to over 170,000 followers: "Klobuchar's JCPA is shit legislation” and “Protectionism is not a business model. Whining is not a business model. Handouts are not a business model. Lobbying politicians is not a business model. Adding value to communities and their conversations, helping them meet their goals: that is the only model worth pursuing.” Those tweets and comments belong to the director of the Tow-Knight Center at the Craig Newmark Graduate School at CUNY, Jeff Jarvis, who also posts that “paywalls damage democracy." He states, "When disinformation is free, how can we restrict quality information to the privileged who choose to afford it?” Jarvis is not a newcomer to our industry, starting in the '70s as a columnist at the San Francisco Examiner, spending most of the '90s as president and creative director at advance.net, the digital arm of Newhouse Newspapers, Conde Nast magazines, Fairchild Publications and Bright House Cable. He eventually began consulting and blogging about digital transformation and teaching at CUNY. He has authored over five books, including: "What Would Google Do?: Reverse-Engineering the Fastest Growing Company in the History of the World (2009)” and “Public Parts: How Sharing in the Digital Age Improves the Way We Work and Live." In his latest Kindle Single offering, "Guttenberg the Geek,” Jarvis claims that Johannes Gutenberg was our first “geek” and our “patron saint of entrepreneurs," being the original technology entrepreneur, facing the same challenges a Silicon Valley startup deals with today. He even draws a parallel between Guttenberg and Steve Jobs on how they both had to raise capital and mitigate risk to innovate how we would receive our content for centuries. In this 162nd episode of “E&P Reports,” we go one-on-one with the director of the Tow-Knight Center at the Craig Newmark Graduate School at CUNY, asking Jeff Jarvis his reasons for not supporting current congressional fair compensation efforts and antitrust legislation to help local news publishers continue to find sustainable business models. Why is the industry making a big mistake moving toward paid content models? Why he believes "Media forms have half-lives, newspapers & magazines are fading, and broadcast's age is ending."
It's a tactic as old as time itself, dating at least back to the Middle Ages: Elites claiming that science is settled, and silencing all dissenting voices on that basis. Patrick and Bob discuss the use of scientific consensus to censor free speech, this time in the area of pandemics and "health emergencies." An important article by Stephen Moore spotlights the threat to our First Amendment liberties in the name of what is actually "scientism" and fraudulent attempts to declare Big Pharma's answer to Covid 19 an unmitigated success, defying all research to the contrary.We also discuss the latest on the JCPA, or the media cartel act, which would effectively allow giant media corporations to band together and shut out smaller publications, may of which are more grounded in facts rather than left wing propaganda. First Amendment defenders on Capitol Hill remain divided on the issue for some reason, and Senator Mike Lee is the latest to try and bring clarity as to the danger of this bill.Citizens For Free Speech website https://www.citizensforfreespeech.org/Find them on Rumble: https://rumble.com/user/cffsFind them on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/citizensforfreespeechCitizens for Free Speech is the premier national training and networking organization for local activists who are ready to exercise their First Amendment rights in a strategic and responsible manner in order to effect meaningful policy changes in their local cities, towns and communities.Subscribe to the OBBM Network Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/2LopRv8p1ZEcytdUP377ug), iHeart, Google Podcasts and more.Find OBBM Network TV:Roku: https://channelstore.roku.com/details/2d588bed3170f71fd5e7173e8732082d/obbm-network-tvClouthub TV: https://clouthub.com/c/OBBMNetworkTVGab TV: https://tv.gab.com/channel/OBBMOBBM Network on Telegram: https://t.me/OBBMNetworkSupport the show
Dan and Ellen talk with David Cicilline, who represents the First District of Rhode Island in Congress. Cicilline, who is a Democrat, is part of a bipartisan group of US representatives and senators sponsoring the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act. Co-sponsors include Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar from Minnesota; Republican Senator John Kennedy from Louisiana; Republican congressman Ken Buck from Colorado; and Senate and House Judiciary Committee Chairs Dick Durbin , an Illinois Democrat, and Jerrold Nadler, a New York Democrat. The JCPA removes legal obstacles to news organizations' ability to negotiate collectively and secure fair terms from gatekeeper platforms that use news content without paying for it. The legislation also allows news publishers to demand arbitration if they reach an impasse in those negotiations. Ellen has a Quick Take on new research being done by the Institute for Nonprofit News. The INN just released 2022 fact sheets on three types of nonprofit newsrooms: local news, state and regional news, and national and global news. While each group shares some similarities, INN found that geography matters in terms of revenue models and audience development. Dan takes a few more whacks at Gannett, because the stock is skidding, and newsrooms are being hit with unpaid furloughs, buyouts, and the threat of layoffs.
This week on Sociall.in's social media and digital marketing podcast we're talking about the JCPA, Twitter's push to Video and Meta's rollout of NFTs.
We begin with a hurricane Ian update. Apocalyptic scenes in Florida as the rescue continues and the cleanup begins. But! The storm is set to slam into South Carolina so we are are far from out of the woods. The economy is doing even worse than you thought. We share some new stats and details. Migrant buses are headed to a new lux resort area. I'll tell you where. Congress keeps spending money on Ukraine. A top Biden admin official's wife has been named the diplomat for plants and animals -- not a joke! (Well, it is a joke, but we're not joking.) U.C. Berkeley has gone full anti-Semitic. Trevor Noah has quit the Daily Show. We explain why that doesn't matter and no one should care. And more in the opening including updates on immigration, politics, and wokeness. Jim Jordan is our guest today. We discuss his staunch opposition to the JCPA, who and what he will investigate first (is Hunter in the crosshairs?), and why school choice matters now more than ever.
On today's Breitbart News Daily podcast, we begin with a speech from the eventual next Prime Minister of Italy, Giorgia Meloni - she talks about the importance of identity and family...and it will blow your mind. Then, we run through a series of political updates, detail some shocking crime in our inner cities, and more "civil war" talk from the institutional Left (despite the fact that they keep acting violently against Christians and conservatives). Finally, Alex discusses his decision to file an IRS complaint against an organization funded by George Soros and LinkedIn billionaire Reid Hoffman that is apparently interfering in our elections and using their tax-exempt status to do so. Our guest today is Congressman Steve Scalise (R-LA). He broke the House Republicans' "Commitment to America" agenda on Breitbart last week. He details some of the key elements of the plan in the interview. We also discuss if the anti-globalist momentum in Europe bodes well for a "red wave" here in the United States. And finally, we get his take on the media cartel bill (the JCPA).
Rick's talking about the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act, how the JCPA will suppress conservative voices, and how Lyin' Ted Cruz sold you out and joined the Dems to advance this bill. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/richard-cason2/message
On today's Breitbart News Daily podcast, we begin with Texas Sen. Ted Cruz's disappointing move to make a 180-degree flip and join the establishment media in his support of the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act (the media cartel bill). It is an appalling move that will only serve one of the worst industries in the world. We explain. Then, we take on the Fed's decision to raise interest rates another 75 basis points. This is exactly what everyone expected, and it probably won't reduce inflation. So why bother? We explore. We also touch on quite a bit more in the opening, including an update on the man who allegedly killed a "MAGAt" with his car - he is now out on bond. Our guest today is Larry Elder. His new movie is called "Uncle Tom II: An American Odyssey" - it is sensational and you should all watch it. We explore the true history of black America with one of the right's most agile minds.
On today's Breitbart News Daily podcast, we begin with a truncated monologue, but we do cover the Las Vegas journalist who was possibly murdered by a Democrat politician. Seems like a big deal, especially when Democrats keep acting like we're headed for a civil war. The zombie media cartel bill JCPA is dead. This is great news and hopefully it will stay dead. Plus, Steve Bannon was handcuffed in New York, California continues to embarrass itself when it comes to energy, and much more at the top of the show. Then, we speak to Breitbart News' London Bureau Chief Oliver Lane about the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, her legacy, why the monarchy in the United Kingdom has been mostly a good thing (especially under her reign), and what the future holds.
On today's Breitbart News Daily podcast, we begin with some updates on "My Son Hunter," which is off to a rip-roaring start. Laurence Fox was on Tucker's show last night, which was super fun, and Alex plays the audio. He also reads a hateful review from a Media Matters alum. Then, we get into the news - lots of politics today and a disturbing "Woke Update", but most importantly, Alex reports on the zombie media cartel bill - JCPA - which is losing conservative support, but we must remain vigilant. Our guests today are "My Son Hunter" director and Hollywood legend, Robert Davi, and Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton (R).
On today's Breitbart News Daily podcast - today is the day! "My Son Hunter" is out now. Alex opens the show opining on the significance of the release and then discusses some of the initial reaction. Then, we run down the news starting with the zombie media cartel bill (JCPA), which has resurfaced and is worse than ever. Most of your favorite politicians have come out against it, but is it enough to stop what would be a huge gift to the establishment media? Plus, PA Dem Senate nominee John Fetterman's mental health seems to be compromised and we play yet another clip to prove it. White House Press Secy. Karine Jean-Pierre got busted denying the results of past elections and, naturally, she has no explanation for her hypocrisy. California sent out an emergency plea to not use electricity. Welcome to the new green dystopia. And educators are starting to panic as students fell way, way behind during the pandemic. Our guest today is Government Accountability Institute President and Breitbart News Senior Contributor Peter Schweizer. Without his research, "My Son Hunter" probably wouldn't have been possible. We talk about the truth and facts behind the film.
On today's show, 1:06pm CT, 2:06pm ET: Political History Re-Writes: Lawmaker claims election-denying is 'hallmark' of fascism, but his election-denying past quickly tells on him - we've got the clips - Teachers union head scorches major paper claiming she did not urge shutting down schools - Youtube clips say otherwise - we'll examine. Media Matters: Zombie Media Cartel worse than ever would strengthen legacy media, punish anti-establishment outlets via new legislation proposal - pushback strategy to prevent Tech from being a "Satan" - we'll analyze. Plus, new poll suggests Americans increasingly concerned about political violence. And, Navy SEALs fight for religious exemptions to vaccine mandates, and battle is far from over. https://www.spreaker.com/show/christian-talk-that-rocks http://christiantalkthatrocks.net or http://christiantalkthatrocks.com

It is media mayhem day on the Breitbart News Daily. We report all the details on the ouster of Jeff Zucker from CNN. Was it really THAT big of a deal that he was in consensual relationship with one of his Vice Presidents? It's not a great look, of course, but CNN has let their own staff get away with worse... what gives? Perhaps there is something else going on, like horrible ratings and flagging reputation. The JCPA media cartel bill was scrutinized via a Capitol Hill hearing yesterday. It is being sold to the public as a bill that takes on Big Tech and supports local journalism. However, it's a mere nuisance to Big Tech (at best) and will do next to nothing help local journalism. Yet, it will certainly be devastating to independent media. Also on the show, we get into NBC hiring the single worst talking head in the history of punditry. And we're supposed to be convinced these people care about ratings? And ESPN is propping up an American skiing champion who is going for gold in Beijing -- as a member of the CCP's Olympic squad. Disgraceful, but hardly shocking. Two guests today: first, John Nolte, my actual Godfather and Senior Writer for Breitbart News, explains CNN's decline in the Jeff Zucker era. Then we get his thoughts on the Whoopi Goldberg and Joe Rogan cancelation efforts. JD Vance, Ohio Senate candidate and author, also returns to the broadcast. He's a top foe of the Big Tech elite and explains why he still opposes the JCPA. Also, we get into some solutions for Americans who want to start to chip away at the power and influence of the American oligarchy.
On today's extra busy Breitbart News Daily podcast, we discuss the suspended co-host of "The View" Whoopi Goldberg - who has insisted in the past that she is in fact Jewish - who is in the process of getting canceled for insensitive comments about the Holocaust. Whoopi is a very odd person and what she said was dumb, but does she need to be fired for this? We break it down. Speaking of cancellation, the Joe Rogan cancel mob is in overdrive. With blood in the water, the White House and other musical artists are in full witch hunt mode, trying to brand the Spotify podcaster and comic with a scarlet letter "M" for misinformation. He's in trouble here, and he probably lost some street cred by lightly caving to the mob. Plus, the World Community is thrilled with China in the run up to the Genocide Games in Beijing, Tom Brady retires from the NFL, AOC retires from Twitter (then immediately un-retires to tweet trash talk at West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin), and Los Angeles' weak-on-crime District Attorney George Gascon hits a shocking new low. Our guests today: Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), both of whom talk about the JCPA media cartel bill which would represent a huge bailout for the corporate media that has failed us all.
The Journalism Competition and Preservation Act (JCPA) hopes to bring big tech to the bargaining table with U.S. news publishers. On this 122nd episode of E&P Reports, Danielle Coffey, executive vice president and general counsel for the News Media Alliance (NMA), and economist Dr. Hal Singer, managing director, Econ One discuss why this legislation is urgently needed and offer advance insight into this week's Congressional hearing before the Senate's Antitrust Committee, where the JCPA will be debated and Dr. Singer will be testifying.
On today's Breitbart News Daily podcast, New York City Mayor Eric Adams is trying to make it legal for a million illegal aliens to vote in local elections. Combine this with the Democrats' renewed push for H.R. 1 and it looks like the attack on our voting system is getting more intense. The trans hysteria might have hit its peak as Univ. of Pennsylvania male-to-female swimmer, Lia Thomas, got beat by a woman named, Isaac, who's a female-to-male trans swimmer competing in the Ivy league as a woman. If you're confused, well, that's the point. Is this the wokest thing of all time? And News Corp is now in on the trans bandwagon: FOX News credited male "Jeopardy!" contestant, Amy Schneider, as being the winningest female of all time, despite the fact that he's a dude (aka m-to-f trans). 20-time major tennis champion Novak Djokovic is now free in Australia, but for how long? Vaccine mandates are still really bad in the Anglo-sphere; Alex breaks down the latest details on the coronavirus - and coronavirus hysteria. Plus, Whole Foods is standing up to BLM and Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) has attacked talk radio for being being hate-filled. Does he actually listen to us or is he just saying what the CNN audience wants him to say? (I think you know the answer to that). Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) is our first guest; she gives us a report from the heartland about what are the top priorities for her constituents. We talk issues from election integrity to the Bidenflation to animal experimentation to night flights of illegal aliens into middle America. Florida Rep. Byron Donalds (R) then joins to talk about the Dems' efforts to wildly loosen voting laws and he explains how Pres. Biden might be killing elderly Floridians. Alex later suggests that Republicans might be getting rolled - or even bought off - if they support the JCPA legislation that appears to be akin to a handout for the establishment media.
Rod Reuven Dovid Bryant, and Jerry Gordon of Israel News Talk Radio – “Beyond the Matrix” bring back Dan Diker of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs (JCPA) to discuss two stunning developments that are game changers: Israel normalizing relations with the UAE and potentially other Arab states in the Gulf and the Balkan countries of Kosovo and Serbia. Diker is the director of the Political Warfare Program at the JCPA and former Secretary General of the World Jewish Congress. UAE Israel normalization sidelines years of Palestinian rejectionism in the Middle East peace process. Diker noted that the announcement of normalization of relations between the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Israel brokered by the Trump Administration upends the Palestinian propaganda machine that has “defamed, dehumanized and delegitimized the Jewish nation state with virulent anti-Semitism.” Diker suggested that today regional peace is now possible with the Arab gulf states with the likelihood that additional normalization agreements may soon become reality with Middle Eastern states such as Bahrain, Oman, Morocco and perhaps Saudi Arabia. Diker noted the granting of air rights by Saudi Arabia through the UAE for travel stopovers to the East, and for the recent transit of U.S. and Israeli delegations to Abu Dhabi. Moreover, recent statements by the Imam of the Grand Mosque appear to welcome these normalization developments. Beyond the Matrix 09SEP2020 - PODCAST
Rod Reuven Dovid Bryen and Jerry Gordon bring back Dan Diker, Senior Fellow and Director of the Program to Counter Political Warfare at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs (JCPA). Diker authored a recent JCPA brief, “The Alignment of BDS and Black Lives Matter: Implications for Israel and Diaspora Jewry”. Diker also appeared on a recent Jewish Broadcasting Service discussion program moderated by Rabbi Marc Golub with Joshua Washington, the young American Assistant Director of the Institute for Black Solidarity for Israel that promotes the pro-Zionist legacy of the late revered American civil rights leaders, Dr. Martin Luther King and Rev. Ralph Abernathy. American Jews, as Diker notes, had fought for Black civil rights as abolitionists in the 19th Century and the 1960’s culminating in the historic passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act under President Johnson. American Jews have actively and publicly opposed racism and police brutality. Diker’s JCPA brief exposed the disturbing trends converging between BLM and BDS that he suggests had its origins in the 2014 Iranian regime backed Hamas rocket and terror tunnel war against Israel. The rise of BLM was triggered by the killings of Black young men Trayvon Martin in Florida in 2012 and Michael Brown in 2014 in Ferguson. Missouri. Recently, the BLM campaign was “turbo-charged” by the murder on May 25, 2020 of George Floyd while in the custody of a Minneapolis Police Officer sparking daily protests and violence that quickly spread across the US. The Movement for Black Lives (MBL) A BLM Network member organization, has openly accused Israel of being a racist Apartheid state. It connected Israel’s “occupation” in Gaza and the Palestinian Authority meme that the Jewish nation was “born in sin” with US state racism, imperialism, and fascism. Minister Louis Farrakhan, a spiritual guide and role model for BLM activists and sympathizers, has labeled Jews “Satan”. MBL’s radical solution is to “take down” the US government, while defunding and dismantling police departments across the United States. Diker noted the launch of a petition by University of California Students accusing Israel of “complicity’ in the murder of George Floyd due to US law enforcement agencies’ participation in a 2012 program in Israel on counterterrorism intelligence sharing. Diker suggests that these accusations are completely unfounded. Moreover, BDS and Palestinian activist rhetoric accusing Israel of imperialism and colonialism is straight out of the Marxist-Leninist playbook. In fact, Israel is a result of Zionist de-colonialization, resettling the Jewish homeland after the fall of the 400-year Ottoman empire. He pointed to a recent article in the Cambridge Journal of Race Ethnicity of Politics, “What Kind of Movement is Black Lives Matter? The view from twitter”. Diker commented: This superb research on BLM reveals that the movement rejects the “politics of respectability” of Martin Luther King and the Civil Rights Movement”. This is dangerous for the Palestinian issue as it rejects inclusion, and instead advocates a political replacement theology. Diker endorsed the work of Joshua Washington of the Institute for Black Solidarity for Israel, the son of Pastor Dumasani Washington, a California pastor, and a leading figure in the organization Christians United for Israel. Washington is also a next generation acolyte of Dr. King, a proud supporter of Israel and Zionism until his tragic assassination in 1968. Beyond the Matrix 05AUG2020 - PODCAST
Rod Reuven Dovid Bryant and Jerry Gordon bring back a frequent guest, Dan Diker, Director of the Political Warfare Program at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs (JCPA). They Diker's new book on "Israelophobia and the West" published by the JCPA that has caught a wave of attention in Washington and Jerusalem. Alan Dershowitz who participated in a roundtable discussion before an audience of 250 at the JCPA remarked that he considered "Israelophobia and the Wes"t as the bible on combating the new antisemitism of Israel as the Jewish state. Then there was the return of violence against Jews, that occurred in Pittsburgh, Poway, Jersey City and Monsey, New York in the US. Violence against Jews not seen since the Holocaust that took the lives of Six Million European Jews. Beyond the Matrix 11MAR2020 - PODCAST
Rod Reuven Dovid Bryant and Jerry Gordon bring back a frequent guest, Dan Diker, Director of the Political Warfare Program at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs (JCPA). They discuss with Diker the apparent Netanyahu victory in the third election in a year in Israel, the rising Israeli Arab quest for normalization in the Jewish state and a new book on Israelphobia and the West published by the JCPA that has caught a wave of attention in Washington, Jerusalem. Alan Dershowitz who participated in a roundtable discussion before an audience of 250 at the JCPA remarked that he considered Israelphobia and the West as the bible on combatting the new antisemitism of Israel as the Jewish state and the return of violence against individual Jews, that occurred in Pittsburgh, Poway, Jersey City and Monsey, New York in the US. Violence against Jews not seen since the Holocaust that took the lives of Six Million European Jews. While the results of Israel’s third election will not be available until early next week, nonetheless, it appears that with 95 percent of the vote tallied that Likud has 36 mandates versus the Blue White alliance’s 32. The Likud led right bloc composed of Shas, Agudath, other religious parties and Yamina are within striking distance of forming a possible ruling coalition with 59 mandates or seats in the Knesset. The Final tally may show perhaps another 3 to 4 Knesset seats from 100,000 votes remaining to be counted. That would cement formation of a Netanyahu ruling coalition in an unprecedented fifth term as Prime Minister. Diker note that the voter turnout was the highest since 1999. Diker attributes that result to intensive campaigning in predominating Likud base areas. That was facilitated by use of an Israeli software system Elexor that identified low Likud base turnout in previous elections and sent text messages to cell phones urging voting turnout. Should President Rivlin grant PM Netanyahu the right to form a new ruling Knesset, that would effectively dent the reputation of Avigdor Liberman and his right wing secular Yisrael Beiteinu party as ‘kingmaker’. Liberman, the former foreign and defense minister in previous Netanyahu governments scored only 7 mandates in this election. Beyond the Matrix 04MAR2020 - PODCAST
Attacking Iran with Stuxnet Welcome to the History of Computing Podcast, where we explore the history of information technology. Because understanding the past prepares us to innovate (and sometimes cope with) the future! Today we're going to cover Stuxnet, which we now considered the first real act of cyber warfare. Iran has arguably been in turmoil since the fall of the Persian empire. Alexander the Great conquered Iran in 336 BC and then the Macedonians ruled until the empire fragmented and one arm, the Seleucids ruled until the Parthians took it in 129BC. Then the Sasanians, of Persian descent, ruled until the Muslim conquest of Persia in 651. The region was then ruled by a collection of Muslim dynasties until this weirdo Ghengis Khan showed up around 1220. After a few decades the Muslim forces regained control in 1256 and the area returned to turning over to different Muslim dynasties every couple hundred years on average until 1925 when the Pahlavi took control. The final Shah of that regime was ousted during the Islamic Revolution in Iran in 1979. Ruholla Khomeini ruled for the first ten years until Sayyid Ali Hosseini Khameneh took over after his death in 1989. Something very important happened the year before that would shape Iran up until today. In 1988 Pakistan became a nuclear power. Iran started working toward a nuclear program shortly thereafter, buying equipment from Pakistan. Those centrifuges would be something those, including the US, would attempt to keep out of Iranian hands through to today. While you can argue the politics of that, those are the facts. Middle Eastern politics, wars over oil, and wars over territory have all ensued. In 2015, Iran reached agreement on the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, commonly referred to as the Iran nuclear deal, with the US and the EU, and their nuclear ambitions seemed to be stalled until US president Donald Trump pulled out of it. A little before the recording of this episode General Sullemani was killed by a US attack. One of the reasons negotiated the JCPA was that the Iranians received a huge setback in their nuclear program in 2010 when the US attacked an Iranian nuclear facility. It's now the most Well researched computer worm. But Who was behind stuxnet? Kim Zetter took a two year journey researching the worm, now documented in her book Countdown to 0 day. The Air Force was created in 1947. In the early 2000s, advanced persistent threat, or APTs, began to emerge following Operation Eligible Receiver in 1997. These are pieces of malware that are specifically crafted to attack specific systems or people. Now that the field was seen as a new frontier of war, the US Cyber command was founded in 2009. And they developed weapons to attack SCADA systems, or supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems amongst other targets. By the mid-2000s, Siemens has built these industrial control systems. The Marrucci incident had brought these systems to light as targets and developers had not been building these systems with security in mind, making them quite juicy targets. So the US and Israel wrote some malware that destroyed centrifuges by hitting the Siemens software sitting on windows embedded operating systems. It was initially discovered by virus Blocada engineer Sergey Ulasen, and called Tootkit.Tmphider. Symantec originally called it W32.Temphid and then changed the name to W32.Stuxnet based on a mashup of stub and mrxnet.sys from the source code. The malware was signed and targeted a bug in the operating system to install a root kit. Sergey reported the bug to Microsoft and went public with the discovery. This led us into an era of cyber warfare as a the first widespread attack hitting industrial control systems. Stuxnet wasn't your run of the mill ddos attack. Each of the 3 variants from 2010 had 150,000 lines of code and targeted those control systems and destroyed a third of Iranian centrifuges by causing the step-7 software systems to handle the centrifuges improperly. Iranian nuclear engineers had obtained the Step-7 software even though it was embargoed and used a back door password to change the rotation speed of engines that targeted a specific uranium enrichment facility. In 2011, Gary Samore, acting White House Coordinator for Arms Control and Weapons of Mass Destruction, would all but admit the attack was state sponsored. After that, in 2012, Iranian hackers use wiper malware, destroying 35,000 computers of Saudi Aramco costing the organization tens of millions of dollars. Cypem was hit in 2018. And the Sands casino after Sheldon Adelsyon said the US should nuke Iran. While not an official response, Stuxnet would hit another plant in the Hormozgon province a few months later. And continues in some form today. Since Iran and Israel are such good friends, it likely came as a shock when Gabi Ashkenazi, head of the Israeli Defense Forces, listed Stuxnet as one of his successes. And so the age of State sponsored Asymmetric cyber conflicts was born. Iran, North Korea, and others were suddenly able to punch above their weight. It was proven that what began in cyber could have real-world consequences. And very small and skilled teams could get as much done as larger, more beaurocratic organizations - much as we see small, targeted teams of developers able to compete head-on with larger software products. Why is that? Because often times, a couple of engineers with deep domain knowledge are equally as impactful as larger teams with a wider skill set.
Presentiamo brevemente il nuovo Ministro degli Esteri dell’Unione e cerchiamo di capire come si comporterà l’UE riguardo l’incidente diplomatico di inizio mese, quando l’Iran ha dichiarato di ritirarsi dal JCPA. Giorgia Colucci e Alessandro Dilda

Rod Reuven Dovid Bryant bring back Dan Diker of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs to address what is behind the disturbing rise of violent anti-Semitic attacks against Jews in the US and Europe. Diker is the Director of the Program to Counter Political Warfare at the JCPA. He is the editor and author of monographs and books concerning the radical origins of the international BDS campaign, anti-Israeli Students for Justice in Palestine connected to Hamas and normalization of relations between Arabs and Jews in Israel, Judea and Samaria. The program reflected the increasing concern of more than 13 attacks against members of the Chassidic communities in New York and New Jersey in the last month of 2019. Those attacks that resulted in the deaths of four persons at a Kosher Super Market in Jersey City, New Jersey and a machete attack in Monsey, New York injuring five, one severely, on the Seventh evening of Hanukkah. They were perpetrated by African Americans espousing Israel and Jew hatred, Hitler and Nazism alleged to be extremists of the Black Israelite Hebrew movement. Diker propounded the view that the spike may be attributable to leftist extremists in the US Congress, such as Reps. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and NGOs, fostering Israelophobia – hatred of the Jewish nation of Israel and Jew hatred, under the guise of violating the civil rights of the Palestinians. Diker suggests that may be at the crux of the rise of anti-Semitism in both the US and Europe. Diker delineates three strands of anti-Semitism. First strand is Islamic and Arab Jew hatred in Europe that manifests itself in Quds Day march festooned with Hezbollah flags. Second is the extreme right wing in both the US and EU. In this category are the Pittsburgh synagogue massacre that killed 11 Jews at shabbat services in October 2018 and the attack at the Poway Chabad Center in 2019 that killed a congregant injuring the rabbi. They were perpetrated by white supremacists. Third, is exemplified by rise of Jeremy Corbyn, the anti-Semitic Labor Party leader in the UK cloaking Jew hatred in the form of political criticism of Israel delegitimizing it as an illegal racist endeavor. These fit the definitions of anti-Semitism of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) and those of the US Department of State in 2010. The IHRA definition of anti-Semitism were adopted by the recent Executive Order signed by President Trump on December 15, 2019 applying Title 6 of the 1964 Civil Rights Law to Jewish Americans asserting Israel’s ethnic religious heritage as the basis for the Jewish nation of Israel: i.e., the triad of the people of Israel, Torah of Israel and Land of Israel. The Trump executive order provides some important remedies. J Street opposes the Trump executive order because it has a chilling effect on criticism of Israel meaning delegitimizing and demonizing the Jewish nation. Gordon noted that the first compliant filed under the order was by an alumni group at Columbia University, his alma mater. Diker opined that Jewish alumni are important sources of endowment at several elite universities. He suggested that this was one way of combating anti-Semitism suggested by News York Times columnist Bari Weiss, author of a book on the subject, How to Fight Antisemitism. Diker asserted that the recent violent attacks by African Americans in Monsey and Jersey City were a cross category of anti-Semitism which meant that the motivation was no longer the exclusive possession of the extremist right wing. The view of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo that the attacks in both New Jersey were “domestic terrorism’ belied the definition that such acts are meant to harm civilians in the name of a political agenda. Diker suggested this downplays the motivation in these attacks of pure Jew hatred. Beyond the Matrix 01JAN2020 - PODCAST
