Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins joins to discuss what President Trump is doing to boost beef production, including his announcement that farmers can process their own beef to help lower costs while ensuring the quality of the meat stays the same. Glenn breaks down how cutting regulations to let farmers process their own beef will help take down the big four meat-packing monopoly and allow family operations to grow. Glenn exposes the Left's hypocrisy for being offended at Lake Ontario's name change, as Glenn lists off everything that the Left changed due to politics, from sports teams to band names to everyday language. Glenn tells the tragic story of a heroic mom from Minnesota who died saving her daughter's life from a fire. Glenn compares this mother to the tragic stories of Lindsay Clancy and Audrey Stone, two mothers who took their children's lives. President Trump announced last Friday that the U.S. has reached a deal with Venezuela that Trump described as "the biggest oil deal in history." Glenn breaks down what the deal actually does and how it sets America up for success. Cities around the country are ending their contracts with Flock cameras, but Glenn warns that the surveillance state won't go away as long as the Patriot Act remains law.

The Peter Boyles Show August 29, 2026 HOUR 2: Peter Boyles digs into the Colorado governor’s race with longtime Republican strategist Dick Wadhams, focusing on Victor Marx, Greg Lopez and Phil Weiser—and the growing debate over whether Republicans should support Marx, vote for Lopez as a repudiation of the GOP nominee, or turn to a Libertarian candidate. The conversation then turns sharply to privacy and surveillance, with callers weighing in on Flock cameras, Halo cameras, automated license-plate readers, facial recognition, data collection, smartphones and health-tracking devices, the Fourth Amendment, the Patriot Act, Palantir and the idea that technology designed for security can also be used against innocent people.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"3200 anni faDopo decenni di guerre, Agamennone, re di Micene, ha costretto i regni della Grecia ad allearsi con lui. Gli resta da conquistare solo la Tessaglia.Il fratello di Agamennone, Menelao, re di Sparta, è stanco di guerreggiare e cerca di fare la pace con Troia, la rivale più formidabile della emergente potenza greca.Achille, considerato il più grande guerriero mai esistito, combatte nell'esercito greco. Ma il suo disprezzo per il dominio di Agamennone minaccia di spaccare la fragile alleanza"
Flock cameras are being sold as the next great tool for public safety, but we're quietly building the technological infrastructure for a surveillance state. I joined Jeff Crouere on Ringside Politics to break down how AI-powered camera networks can track vehicles across communities, why government access to that data should concern anyone who values privacy and constitutional rights, and how quickly technology built to catch criminals can become technology used to monitor ordinary Americans. We've already watched government agencies abuse surveillance powers once they were handed the tools. Giving politicians an AI-powered map of where everyone goes and hoping future administrations behave themselves is not exactly a brilliant constitutional safeguard.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-jeff-dornik-show--4788100/support.Follow The Jeff Dornik Show on Apple Podcasts and leave a 5-star review.

Send us Fan MailAaron, Trent, and Peaches are back in the team room talking defense budgets, military waste, the NDAA, future war with China, Space Force, Flock cameras, and why everyone suddenly has feelings about height-to-waist standards.The team breaks down why the Department of War is asking for more money, what the military says it needs to fund, and why that answer still does not solve the bigger problem: nobody can explain where all the money is already going. They talk munitions, drones, shipbuilding, Golden Dome, personnel, aging infrastructure, bloated conferences, pet projects, federal billets, and the fact that the military still cannot pass a clean audit.Then the episode shifts into surveillance and civil liberties with Flock cameras, license plate readers, the Patriot Act, and why “if you did nothing wrong, you have nothing to worry about” is a terrible argument.Finally, the guys get into Air Force height-to-waist standards, body composition, fat bodies in uniform, false positives for built-like-a-fridge humans, and why most people complaining about the standard probably just need to work out and eat less.Check out Tasty Gains: TastyGains.comGet AFSPECWAR prep gear through ATACLETE: OnesReady.comRegister for Operator Training Summit: OperatorTrainingSummit.comChapters:00:00 - Intro, Tasty Gains, ATACLETE, and OTS02:34 - San Diego and Pennsylvania OTS Updates04:20 - Why Does the Military Want More Money?04:58 - What the Defense Budget Is Paying For06:00 - Warfighter Performance, Drones, and China07:13 - Navy Upgrades and Global Shipping07:45 - Where Has the Money Been Going?08:14 - DOGE Cuts, Federal Workers, and Billets11:22 - Why Cutting Billets Does Not Always Cut Costs12:28 - A-10, B-21, F-47, and Military Construction14:04 - The $1.5 Trillion Defense Budget Request15:20 - China, Taiwan, and Future War Prep16:17 - Trent's Problem With the Budget Argument17:56 - The Department of War Has Never Passed a Clean Audit18:38 - Space Force Funding and Real Missions20:24 - NDAA, SAVE Act, and Israel Integration22:46 - Voter ID, Senate Drama, and Political Games24:10 - Why the NDAA May Get Stripped Down25:33 - Midterms, Messaging, and DC Theater26:49 - Talking Politics With Kids27:14 - Aliens, Spielberg, and Disclosure28:38 - Why Military Leaders Do Not Cut Waste29:02 - Civilian Leadership and Budget Authority29:55 - How End-of-Year Spending Works31:55 - The GARV Vehicle and Sunk Cost Fallacy34:37 - Unused Float Tanks and Base-Level Waste36:08 - VR Headsets and Gear With No Sustainment Plan37:10 - When Waste Becomes Gear Money38:25 - Donated Mattresses and Internet Outrage39:30 - Cutting Generals, E-9s, and Conferences40:27 - Senior Leader Conferences and Yucking It Up41:50 - Commanders' Roundtables and No Decisions43:34 - Senior Leaders Need to Take More Risk45:05 - Aaron's Defense Budget Take46:13 - A Possible New Ones Ready Series47:57 - Naming the New Series50:34 - What the New Series Could Cover53:09 - Flock Cameras and AI Surveillance54:31 - License Plate Readers and False Tickets56:50 - Aaron's Las Vegas Parking Ticket Story01:00:24 - The Process Is the Punishment01:01:42 - UK CCTV and 198401:03:15 - The Patriot Act and Giving Up Freedom01:04:46 - Height-to-Waist Standard Chaos01:05:59 - Fat People Resist Accountability01:06:26 - Show the Scores01:07:07 - The One Built-Like-a-Viking Exception01:08:13 - Almost Crashing a Helicopter With Big Humans01:09:56 - When Pencil Whipping Makes Sense01:11:01 - Trent's Fatty Rant01:11:40 - MTIs, Maintainers, and No Excuses01:12:31 - Final Thoughts and MembershipSupport the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page: HERERegister for our Operator Training Summit: OperatorTrainingSummit.comFind an Air Force Recruiter: AirForce.comCollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code: ONESREADY ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code): ATACLeteDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADYDFND Apparel...
THIS IS A PREVIEW PODCAST. NOT THE FULL REVIEW. Please check out the full podcast review on our Patreon Page by subscribing over at - https://www.patreon.com/NextBestPicture With the release of Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey" arriving in theaters, our 2008 retrospective revisits his comic book action film that not only re-defined the genre, but changed the whole industry up until the Oscar nominations where it forced the Academy to expand the Best Picture lineup for the first time in decades, "The Dark Knight," starring Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Heath Ledger, Gary Oldman, Aaron Eckhart, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Morgan Freeman. Co-written with his brother Jonathan Nolan, the world had never seen a comic book film quite like Christopher Nolan's crime epic. Marked by the untimely passing of Heath Ledger before its release, the film had a tremendous amount of hype surrounding it during the summer of 2008 and continues to be talked about till this day for Ledger's iconic, Academy Award-winning performance, Nolan's grounded realism borrowing from other crime classics such as "Heat," the film's politics and how it directly commented on the Patriot Act, its themes of escalation, chaos, vigilantism and more! How does it hold up nearly 20 years later? Please tune in as Alyssa Christian, Josh Parham, Amy Kim, Brendan Hodges, and I talk about the film's screenplay, Nolan's direction, the performances, the action sequences, the film's historic awards season run, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review.

Today on Uncommon Sense, we're taking a deeper look at the Israel-Iran conflict, the continuing questions surrounding the Epstein files, and the assassination of Charlie Kirk. We'll discuss why these stories continue to dominate public conversation, explore the political and geopolitical questions people are asking, and examine why these events should be viewed together rather than in isolation.--https://www.youversion.com/bible-app
The Kids Act Could End Internet Freedom As We Know It. SUPPORT MY WORK: Buy a paid subscription to my newsletter at usermag.co Support my work on Patreon: http://patreon.com/taylorlorenz A massive new package of legislation, dubbed the "Kids Act," is moving through Congress with unprecedented speed. The package is a broad-based censorship and surveillance scheme that will affect every single American.In this episode of Free Speech Friday, I sit down with Adam Thierer, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), to break down the terrifying reality of what's happening in Washington D.C. right now. Adam, who has been fighting for internet freedom since the 1990s, explains how these laws demand mass age verification (which applies to adults too), regulate design features like infinite scroll, and even target messaging apps and VPNs. We also dive into the 1,800 AI bills popping up across states, Bernie Sanders' misguided plans for AI, and why the government is moving to create an identity layer for the entire internet. We also discuss the toxic brew of "moral panic," fake anti-big tech sentiment, and censorship that is driving this legislation forward.Topics covered:What the Kids Act is and how it passed committeeMass age verification and the internet ID layerThe end of online anonymityWhy messaging apps and video games are targetsState laws controlling the national internetState AI preemption and Bernie Sanders' AI plansThe history of internet censorship from 1996 to today#AI #Tech #TechNews #InternetFreedom #KidsAct #Censorship #TechPolicy #OnlinePrivacy #AILaws #VPNBan #FreeSpeech #MassSurveillance #FirstAmendment #BigTech #BernieSanders #KOSA #DataPrivacy
Phil and Emily are joined by actress Fiona Dourif to launch a brand new mini-series, Richard Kelly Reichardt, with the cult classic that started a thousand dorm-room arguments: Donnie Darko (2001).Richard Kelly's debut premiered at Sundance, opened the same day the Patriot Act was signed into law, and promptly bombed in theaters before Drew Barrymore's Flower Films, a $4.5 million budget, and a generation of video-store rentals turned it into a phenomenon. The gang digs into why it became the movie every college bro swore was a misunderstood masterpiece, and whether it actually holds up a quarter century later.They get into the big stuff: the tall bunny named Frank, the pocket-universe time-loop mechanics, and that gut-punch ending where Donnie chooses to sacrifice himself. Emily, who has seen this more times than almost any movie in her life, untangles Kelly's "ironclad" explanation, why she prefers the simpler emotional read, and why the director's cut overexplains everything. Fiona connects it to American Beauty and Magnolia, the search for God after religion, and her own time-bending turn in Christopher Nolan's Tenet. And the whole table takes on modern film-discussion culture's obsession with mapping every rule instead of just living inside a story that doesn't quite make sense.Plus: baby Noah Wyle, the most unhinged high-school teacher ever written, and a stacked early-2000s cast that keeps making you hit pause. Does Donnie Darko hold up, or did it age like the 25-year-old screenwriter dialogue it's built on? Listen and decide.Follow the show & guests:Podcast Like It's... — https://www.instagram.com/podcastlikeitsPhil Iscove — https://www.instagram.com/pmiscoveEmily St. James — https://www.instagram.com/emilystjamsFiona Dourif — https://www.instagram.com/fionadourif
Trump is talking about making the American public a "partner" in AI companies. Nate says that is not public ownership. That is government control. Today on Good Morning Liberty, Nate breaks down the latest Israel-Iran ceasefire confusion, Trump saying he "calls the shots," and why Israel's actions raise a hard question about client states, defense spending, and escalation. Then we get into the main issue: Trump praising parts of Bernie Sanders' economic thinking while floating a government stake in AI companies. Why would AI companies want this? Preferential treatment, regulatory protection, data centers, federal land, and insulation from competition. Nate also responds to Tucker Carlson and Jimmy Dore arguing that corporations are more malicious than government, and explains why the worst corporate abuses usually come when corporations use state power.

https://www.FKNpods.comIn this riveting episode of "The Conspiracy Files with Paige Carter," listeners are taken on a thrilling investigative journey into one of the most significant intelligence revelations of the 21st century. We delve deep into the intricate world of government surveillance, examining the explosive disclosures made by Edward Snowden. Through careful analysis and expert testimonies, we uncover how Snowden accessed an unparalleled trove of classified NSA documents, revealing extensive global surveillance programs that operaed under a veil of secrecy. This episode challenges the official narratives of privacy protection and raises profound questions about the balance between national security and individual privacy rights.Listeners will gain unparalleled insights into the structural mechanisms that enabled these surveillance programs to thrive, from legal frameworks like the Patriot Act to the secretive operations within the NSA. The narrative unfolds with the dramatic escalation of Snowden's leaks, showcasing how these revelations contradicted official assurances and reshaped global perceptions of privacy and government transparency. As we explore the government's response and delve into testimony from insiders, this episode provides a comprehensive look at the lasting impacts of the Snowden case and the unresolved questions that continue to provoke debate.
The National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism has been rewritten and the domestic terror strategy has changed, but has the real problem actually been solved? Nearly five years after the Biden administration transformed domestic surveillance, the Trump administration narrowed the counterterrorism focus back toward violence and criminal conduct. This episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast examines the Trump administration's revisions to the domestic terror framework, the constitutional dangers of the previous guidelines, and why the permanent bureaucracy remains one of the greatest threats to American liberty. While the revised strategy strips away vague ideological metrics like "anti-government" and "anti-authority" sentiment, the administrative machinery that enabled recent government abuses remains fully intact. From intelligence-sharing fusion centers to public-private censorship pipelines and sweeping surveillance authorities, the underlying weaponization infrastructure is merely waiting for the next administration. What You'll Learn In This Episode: The Original Sin: How the 2021 Domestic Terror Strategy shifted the threshold away from criminal conduct and toward ideological "sentiment." The Overhaul: Why the Trump administration's policy pivot represents a necessary constitutional correction. The NSPM-7 Paradox: What National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 does, and how it could be turned against citizens again. The Surveillance Pattern: How the Patriot Act, Total Information Awareness, and PRISM reveal 25 years of expanding bureaucratic power. The Congressional Failure: Why Congress keeps passing clean FISA reauthorizations while abdicating real oversight. Five years later, the debate is no longer about one president or one party. It is about whether a constitutional republic can survive a weaponized bureaucracy that treats political dissent, free speech, and ideological disagreement as predictive threat indicators.

Because maker and taker were supposed to use the same miner fee, a malicious taker could push a bad fee value through the transaction math and shrink the multisig output to 0.001 BTC while sweeping the rest into the taker's change.

There was a time when your neighbor knew your name, your grandmother's friend's son could check you, and the whole block had some say in how you turned out. Now? People wave and go inside. So what happened?In this episode of Talking Brown Sugar, Rajah and Angela trace the shift from community-deep living to hyperlocalized, mind-your-business culture and ask whether we gained peace or lost something we can't get back.Angela remembers growing up in New York where the neighbors watched you, and North Carolina where the whole street was in your business and told on you. Rajah connects the dots between 9/11, the Patriot Act, social media, and why people started retreating into digital bubbles and what that's cost us in real-world community.They talk about third spaces disappearing (malls, bookstores, libraries), the way social media has wired us to see more negative than positive, and what healthy community actually looks like now neighborhood apps, town halls, holding the HOA accountable.
John Kiriakou spent 14 years at the CIA. He started as an analyst, went operational, and eventually ran counterterrorism work in Pakistan that led to the capture of Abu Zubaydah. He was the first U.S. government official to publicly confirm that the agency was waterboarding prisoners. For that, the Obama administration prosecuted him under the Intelligence Identities Protection Act and sent him to federal prison for 23 months. He lost his pension. He lost his career. Most of his kids stopped speaking to him. Today he writes books, hosts a podcast, and teaches a course on the history of terrorism. We get into how the agency really works. Recruiting spies. Breaking into a house in a foreign country to plant a bug. The mentor who told him to walk up to a target's front door and sell him out to his face. Then we get into the part nobody at Langley wants to talk about. Torture. Rendition. The innocent people who got grabbed off planes and buses and never got their lives back. We also cover Section 702, the Patriot Act, Iran, Iraq, and why no agency ever gives the power back. Enjoy.

PBD breaks down how a new federal push for “impaired driving” tech could turn every 2027 car into a surveillance device that tracks your eyes, records your behavior, and can override you in real time, sparking Patriot Act-level fears about privacy, control, and government overreach.
The early internet opened unprecedented avenues for speech, creativity, and connection without traditional gatekeepers. But it also raised civil liberties questions: Do our offline freedoms exist online? And if so, how far do they extend? Today, those questions are more urgent than ever. Advances in AI have given governments powerful new tools to track, monitor, and analyze our behavior, raising fundamental concerns about the future of free expression in the digital age. Today we are joined by Cindy Cohn, the executive director for the Electronic Frontier Foundation. She has spent thirty years as a civil liberties attorney specializing in digital rights, which she documents in her newly published memoir Privacy's Defender: My Thirty-Year Fight Against Digital Surveillance.

What Caused Him to Be a Crime Fighter: From Gangs in England to a Global Mission. In this Special Episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, listeners are introduced to Simon Osamoh, a former police officer from England whose journey from the streets of the United Kingdom to becoming an American-based security consultant, author, and podcaster is nothing short of remarkable. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. Growing up in England, Simon Osamoh was shaped by adversity, discipline, and a relentless drive to prove others wrong. “When someone said I was too young,” he recalls, “I just outworked them.” That mindset became the foundation of his career in law enforcement and beyond. The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube and most major podcast platforms. #Free #Podcast #Radio From England's Streets to Fighting Organized Crime Simon's law enforcement career placed him on the front lines of police fighting organized crime and terrorism. While many in the United States often associate gang activity with major cities like London, Simon explains that gangs in England operate far beyond the capital. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . “Organized crime isn't just a London problem,” Simon says. “There are networks across rural areas, drug operations, trafficking rings, vehicle theft, these are coordinated, often international efforts.” What Caused Him to Be a Crime Fighter: From Gangs in England to a Global Mission. Across England and Wales, specialized units work to combat these threats. Regional Organized Crime Units (ROCUs) support national agencies in tackling everything from financial crimes to violent syndicates. Rural crime networks have also expanded, targeting agricultural communities and operating with increasing sophistication. The episode is available across major platforms including their website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, with highlights shared across their Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn profiles. Misconceptions About Crime and Terrorism Now living in the United States, Simon frequently speaks about the misconceptions Americans have regarding crime in the UK. “People think it's less dangerous or less complex, but that's not the reality,” he explains. “Terrorism investigations, organized crime, financial tracking, it's all interconnected.” Legal frameworks, both in the UK and the U.S., play a crucial role in disrupting these networks. In the United States, for example, laws like Section 311 of the Patriot Act allow authorities to target international money laundering and terrorist financing. These tools, combined with intelligence-sharing, form a global effort to combat crime. What Caused Him to Be a Crime Fighter: From Gangs in England to a Global Mission. Available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and most major Podcast networks. Overcoming Adversity and Breaking Stereotypes Simon's journey was not without challenges. He openly discusses overcoming racial and class stereotypes, which he describes as barriers that can limit opportunity if left unchallenged. “Racial stereotypes are often inaccurate and harmful,” Simon notes. “They're built over time through misinformation and bias, but they don't define who you are or what you can achieve.” Instead of allowing those obstacles to define him, Simon used them as motivation. His story highlights the importance of resilience, hard work, and self-belief in overcoming systemic and personal challenges. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. What Prevents Crime? Drawing from both experience and broader research, Simon emphasizes that criminal behavior is often shaped and prevented by key factors: Fear of Legal Consequences: The risk of arrest and punishment can deter criminal activity. Strong Social Bonds: Family, community, and relationships create accountability. Stable Upbringing: Positive role models and structure help guide individuals away from crime. “These aren't just theories,” Simon says. “They're things you see play out every day in real life.” What Caused Him to Be a Crime Fighter: From Gangs in England to a Global Mission. A Global Perspective and a New Mission Today, Simon Osamoh continues his mission beyond policing. As a security consultant, author, and podcast guest, he shares insights drawn from years of experience in England, policing, and global crime prevention. You can listen to the complete interview for free on our website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and most major podcast platforms. His story is one of transformation, from a British law enforcement officer tackling gangs and terrorism to a voice of experience and perspective in the United States. “This journey isn't about where you start,” Simon reflects. “It's about how hard you're willing to work and what you're willing to overcome.” You can find the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, X (formerly Twitter), and LinkedIn, as well as read companion articles and updates on Medium, Blogspot, YouTube, and even IMDB.

Rediffusion Plongez dans la traque d'Edward Snowden, l'homme qui a révélé au monde l'ampleur de la surveillance de masse orchestrée par les États-Unis. Informaticien brillant, employé de la NSA, il choisit un jour de franchir la ligne. Lanceur d'alerte pour les uns, traître pour les autres, Snowden devient l'ennemi public numéro un de la première puissance mondiale. Fuite à travers les continents, documents secrets, révélations explosives… À chaque étape, la tension s'intensifie. Et tandis que Washington lance la chasse, Snowden façonne malgré lui son propre mythe — celui d'un homme seul face à l'État. Une petit génie de l'informatique Edward Snowden grandit dans une famille patriote, bercé par la culture du secret à Fort Meade, fief de la NSA. Très tôt passionné d'informatique, il révèle des failles de sécurité et se forge une réputation de prodige. Le 11 septembre 2001 marque un tournant : le Patriot Act ouvre la voie à une surveillance totale, qu'Edward va contribuer à bâtir au sein de la NSA puis de la CIA. À 22 ans, il obtient son premier poste classé secret défense et développe des outils de surveillance d'Internet. À Genève, sous couverture diplomatique, il vit sa réussite professionnelle et personnelle, persuadé de servir son pays.

Former FBI Director Robert Muller died on March 20th. He entered into that position on September 4th, 2001. Within eight weeks of the 9/11 attacks, the FBI had arrested over 1,200 people - mostly Muslim men in the United States. None of them were shown to have any connection to Al Qaeda, but that didn't deter the FBI and its partners in local law enforcement agencies like the NYPD from heightening their surveillance of Muslim communities, even sending informants into mosques.All of this was done under the presidencies of George W. Bush and then Barack Obama, who convinced the Senate to allow Mueller to serve an extra two years on top of the 10-year term for FBI directors. It was also under the shadow of the War on Terror, powered by the PATRIOT Act to destroy lives and curtail rights abroad and at home.But Mueller underwent an image transformation about a decade ago. Rather than rightly being decried as an enemy of the people and of civil liberties, he led the charge on the so-called Russiagate hoax, kicking off years of delusional frenzy among liberals that Russia had interfered in the 2016 election to get Donald Trump elected.Support the show

Cindy Cohn can remember using punched cards for computing during her college years in Iowa. She can tell you about watching the rise of the internet and home computing with her techie friends in San Francisco. She can also recall the times she’s stood in court, working to protect someone’s right to put encrypted code on the internet, or the fight against the NSA’s mass surveillance system after 9/11 and the Patriot Act. Cohn has led the Electronic Frontier Foundation for 25 years. That’s a non-profit that advocates for privacy and free speech. This year, she announced she is leaving her role, but not before putting out a memoir she hopes will inspire others to take up the work… GUEST: Cindy Cohn, author of Privacy’s Defender: My Thirty-Year Fight Against Digital Surveillance.

Outdated intelligence. The difference between owning a mistake and talking around it. The authorized use of military force and how every administration since 9/11 has abused it. The draft being floated by a president who dodged Vietnam with bone spurs. Gaza and how you fight an enemy embedded in a civilian population. Mandatory service and why two years of serving something bigger than yourself might fix a lot of what's broken. Then Snowden. Hero, villain, or somewhere in between. The surveillance state we already live in. The Patriot Act being one of the most unpatriotic things ever passed. AI deepfakes that take two days and $40 to build.

How did a routine request from the FBI turn into a decade-long legal battle that helped reshape modern privacy law and ultimately inspire a new kind of mobile network? In this episode, I sit down with Nicholas Merrill, founder of Phreeli and one of the most influential yet often under-recognized figures in the fight for digital rights. Long before privacy became a mainstream talking point, Nick was running an internet service provider that powered major global brands. That journey took a dramatic turn in 2004 when he became the first person to challenge the constitutionality of a National Security Letter under the Patriot Act, living under a gag order for years while the case unfolded. What followed was a deeply personal and professional transformation that led him to question whether litigation and legislation alone could ever keep pace with the scale of modern surveillance. We explore how that experience pushed him toward a third path, building privacy directly into technology itself. From launching the Calyx Institute and developing privacy-focused Android software to raising a multi-million-dollar endowment for digital rights, Nick has spent decades turning principles into practical tools. Now, with Phreeli, he is taking that philosophy into one of the most data-hungry industries of all, mobile telecoms, reimagining what a carrier looks like when it is designed to know as little about its customers as possible. Our conversation also tackles the shifting balance of power between governments and corporations in the data economy, and why the distinction between the two is becoming increasingly blurred. Nick explains the trade-offs involved in building a privacy-first operator in a heavily regulated market, the cryptographic thinking behind Phreeli's double-blind architecture, and why he believes consent and personal agency should sit at the center of the digital experience. This is a story about resistance, resilience, and the belief that technology can be used to restore choice rather than quietly remove it. It is also a timely reminder that privacy is not an abstract concept for activists and engineers, but something as familiar as closing the curtains in your own home. So after three decades on the front lines of this debate, what does Nick think most of us still misunderstand about our digital rights, and what single shift in mindset could change how we all approach privacy in the connected world?
JT's Mix Tape Episode 68This conversation delves into various themes including the evolution of communication in the digital age, the myths surrounding space exploration, the nature of rockets and gravity, and the deeper meanings of celestial bodies. It also critiques NASA's narratives, discusses cultural representation in media, reflects on Chadwick Boseman's legacy, and explores the conspiracies and control within Hollywood. The conversation delves into the complexities of Hollywood, the consequences of personal choices, and the intertwining of entertainment with broader societal issues. It explores the fallout from Terrence Howard's decisions, the subtle nature of compromising one's integrity, and the implications of predictive programming in media. The discussion also touches on the aftermath of 9/11, the Patriot Act, and the connections between influential families and power dynamics. In this conversation, the speakers delve into the impact of a single individual's truth-telling on a public figure, the media's role in shaping narratives, and the complexities surrounding conspiracy theories, particularly focusing on Alex Jones. They discuss the consequences of pride and misinformation, the importance of discernment, and the challenges of navigating public discourse in a polarized environment. The conversation culminates in a reflection on the need for a balanced perspective when addressing controversial figures and ideas.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/jt-s-mix-tape--6579902/support.Please support our sponsor Modern Roots Life: https://modernrootslife.com/?bg_ref=rVWsBoOfcFPatreon: https://patreon.com/JT_Follows_JC?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLinkJESUS SAID THERE WOULD BE HATERS: https://jtfollowsjc.com/product-category/mens-shirts/JT's Hats: https://jtfollowsjc.com/product-category/hats/Coaching Program: https://www.echoesoftruthnetwork.com/join

Alex breaks down Reign of Terror by Spencer Ackerman, showing how the post-9/11 “War on Terror” built a permanent national security state with mass surveillance, warrantless wiretaps, secret kill lists, and preemptive detention. Both parties enabled this system: under Bush, the PATRIOT Act, Guantánamo, and aggressive counterterrorism policies expanded state power; Obama preserved drone strikes, surveillance programs, and the bureaucratic machinery of indefinite detention. This infrastructure allowed Trump to militarize immigration enforcement, empower ICE in Minneapolis and nationwide raids, separate families at the border, and use crisis rhetoric and fear-based governance to treat migrants as existential threats while consolidating political power
None of Your Goddamn BusinessJohn Morgan Salomon said something during our conversation that I haven't stopped thinking about. We were discussing encryption, privacy laws, the usual terrain — and he cut through all of it with five words: "It's none of your goddamn business."Not elegant. Not diplomatic. But exactly right.John has spent 30 years in information security. He's Swiss, lives in Spain, advises governments and startups, and uses his real name on social media despite spending his career thinking about privacy. When someone like that tells you he's worried, you should probably pay attention.The immediate concern is something called "Chat Control" — a proposed EU law that would mandate access to encrypted communications on your phone. It's failed twice. It's now in its third iteration. The Danish Information Commissioner is pushing it. Germany and Poland are resisting. The European Parliament is next.The justification is familiar: child abuse materials, terrorism, drug trafficking. These are the straw man arguments that appear every time someone wants to break encryption. And John walked me through the pattern: tragedy strikes, laws pass in the emotional fervor, and those laws never go away. The Patriot Act. RIPA in the UK. The Clipper Chip the FBI tried to push in the 1990s. Same playbook, different decade.Here's the rhetorical trap: "Do you support terrorism? Do you support child abuse?" There's only one acceptable answer. And once you give it, you've already conceded the frame. You're now arguing about implementation rather than principle.But the principle matters. John calls it the panopticon — the Victorian-era prison design where all cells face inward toward a central guard tower. No walls. Total visibility. The transparent citizen. If you can see what everyone is doing, you can spot evil early. That's the theory.The reality is different. Once you build the infrastructure to monitor everyone, the question becomes: who decides what "evil" looks like? Child pornographers, sure. Terrorists, obviously. But what about LGBTQ individuals in countries where their existence is criminalized? John told me about visiting Chile in 2006, where his gay neighbor could only hold his partner's hand inside a hidden bar. That was a democracy. It was also a place where being yourself was punishable by prison.The targets expand. They always do. Catholics in 1960s America. Migrants today. Anyone who thinks differently from whoever holds power at any given moment. These laws don't just catch criminals — they set precedents. And precedents outlive the people who set them.John made another point that landed hard: the privacy we've already lost probably isn't coming back. Supermarket loyalty cards. Surveillance cameras. Social media profiles. Cookie consent dialogs we click through without reading. That version of privacy is dead. But there's another kind — the kind that prevents all that ambient data from being weaponized against you as an individual. The kind that stops your encrypted messages from becoming evidence of thought crimes. That privacy still exists. For now.Technology won't save us. John was clear about that. Neither will it destroy us. Technology is just an element in a much larger equation that includes human nature, greed, apathy, and the willingness of citizens to actually engage. He sent emails to 40 Spanish members of European Parliament about Chat Control. One responded.That's the real problem. Not the law. Not the technology. The apathy.Republic comes from "res publica" — the thing of the people. Benjamin Franklin supposedly said it best: "A republic, if you can keep it." Keeping it requires attention. Requires understanding what's at stake. Requires saying, when necessary: this is none of your goddamn business.Stay curious. Stay Human. Subscribe to the podcast.

Murph is joined once again by veteran DEA leader AJ Collazo for a deep dive into one of the most complex fronts in modern law enforcement—the international drug war. Their conversation centers on Operation Panama Express, a groundbreaking multi-agency effort that transformed how law enforcement tracks and dismantles maritime drug trafficking networks. AJ breaks down how intelligence-driven cases are built, the dangers of undercover work, and why cooperation between DEA, military, foreign governments, and federal agencies became essential after the Patriot Act reshaped global enforcement strategies.
Story of the Week (DR):3 from Trump: Trump Orders SEC to Review Proxy Adviser Rules in ESG Rebuke AND Trump signs executive order for single national AI regulation standard, limiting power of states AND Trump says Netflix, WBD deal could be 'problem' as son-in-law Kushner backs Paramount bid Trump directed several federal agencies to tighten regulations on proxy advisers:The S.E.C. was ordered to review rules and guidelines regarding the industry, including revising or rescinding any related to diversity, equity and inclusion (known as D.E.I.) and environment, social and corporate governance (or E.S.G.).The F.T.C. and the attorney general were directed to examine state antitrust investigations into the companies to see if there was a “probable link” between those inquiries and potential violations of federal antitrust law.And the Labor secretary was told to review regulations about the fiduciary duties of proxy advisers and others who advise managers of certain employee retirement accounts.These firms “wield enormous influence over corporate governance matters,” the executive order reads, adding that they “regularly” use their power to “advance and prioritize radical politically motivated agendas” instead of focusing on shareholder returns.CEO Moves:Lululemon Athletica's C.E.O., Calvin McDonald, will step down as the athleisure clothing maker struggles to turn itself around.

In this bonus episode, Professor Nicholas Giordano joins The American Radicals Podcast hosted by FBI whistleblower Steve Friend for a powerful conversation on the rise of bureaucratic power in America. Professor Giordano breaks down how federal agencies have expanded far beyond their constitutional limits, how Congress routinely fails to provide real oversight, and how the deep state uses vague laws and political theater to protect itself. The discussion exposes the consequences of unchecked federal law enforcement, the dangers of labeling ordinary citizens as threats, and the urgent need to reform the system with real accountability, transparency, and the power of the purse. Episode Highlights How federal agencies grew into an unaccountable power center that the founding fathers warned us about. Why Congress refuses to challenge abusive agencies and how the Patriot Act opened the door to mass surveillance. What real reform looks like, including sunsetting agencies, limiting authority, and ending qualified immunity for federal agents.

"If current trends continue, we're going to hell,” says Jonathan Haidt, social psychologist and best-selling author of "The Anxious Generation." In a candid talk, Glenn and Jonathan discuss preventing another Patriot Act, free speech threats from the activist Left, and whether Trump has crossed a “red line.” Glenn asks Jonathan how to navigate America's divisions, leading to a discussion on social media's harm to kids, with Haidt noting platforms like TikTok, Meta, and Snapchat are damaging children “on an industrial scale” and may hinder Gen Z's ability to “get married and stay married.” They agree that it's time to regulate social media and advise against AI Christmas toys or falling in love with your AI companion. In the final moments of the podcast, Glenn floats the idea of a constitutional amendment that reminds us of what it really means to be human.

On episode 99 of Native Land Pod, hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum talk shutdowns, Bad Bunny at the super bowl, and a new directive from Trump to go after “domestic terrorists.” Republicans and Democrats are once again at an impasse on the budget, meaning the federal government is officially shut down. Democrats are making a stand over health care. The Trump administration is threatening to use the shutdown to enact more cuts and layoffs. Our hosts outline what’s at risk and predict what comes next. Puerto Rican super star Bad Bunny has been tapped to perform at this year’s Super Bowl halftime show amidst a direct assault on the Hispanic community by ICE and the federal government. It recalls Kendrick Lamar’s politically charged performance last year. Do these performances have an impact, and if so, what is it? Why isn’t the media covering NSPM-7? In what could be the biggest change to national security since the Patriot Act, President Trump has directed the FBI, the IRS, and other federal agencies to go after domestic “terrorists.” Non-profits that support progressive causes and shows like ours could now face terrorism charges for “fomenting political violence.” This is probably the biggest underreported story of the year!
