The Daily Signal - What’s Really Going on In Wisconsin

Riots have erupted in the state of Wisconsin following the shooting of a black man, Jacob Blake, by police on Sunday night. What happened? The Racine County Eye reported that rioters have taken over Kenosha, Wisconsin and that the area has turned into a war zone. Is that is a fair assessment of what is happening? Brett Healy, president of the John K. MacIver Institute for Public Policy, joins The Daily Signal Podcast to discuss.


We also cover these stories:


  • President Trump is now looking to make Chad Wolf the official secretary of the department of homeland security.
  • Jacob Blake, the 29-year-old man shot in the back by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin, is reportedly paralyzed from the waist down. 
  • Greg Goodman, co-president of Portland’s Downtown Development group, is speaking out about conditions in Portland hurting businesses.

This Machine Kills - 4. Zuboff is a PSYOP

Episode now remastered so it sounds 1000x better! Cold open: Agent Zuboff receives her mission. Main show: We politically cancel Shoshana Zuboff, author of The Age of Surveillance Capitalism, for advancing / mainstreaming a reactionary critique. Surveillance capitalism is not a “rogue mutation” of a normal capitalism. Surveillance is not the scapegoat that needs to be sacrificed so we can maintain a good version of consumption and commodification. We let you in on a little secret—one that Zuboff’s work is designed to obscure—the real horrors have been coming from inside capitalism all along. Morozov’s article on Zuboff’s bad analysis of surveillance capitalism: https://thebaffler.com/latest/capitalisms-new-clothes-morozov Monthly Review article with good analysis of surveillance capitalism: https://monthlyreview.org/2014/07/01/surveillance-capitalism/ Hosted by Jathan Sadowski (twitter.com/jathansadowski) and Edward Ongweso Jr. (twitter.com/bigblackjacobin). Production / Music by Jereme Brown (twitter.com/braunestahl). Thanks to Laura for voice work on the cold open.

The Gist - In Lieu of Happy Hour

We are halfway through our guest hosting week. Today, Kate Klonick takes the mic. She is an assistant professor at St. John’s Law School, a fellow at the Information Society Project at Yale Law School, and researcher of the intersection between law and tech. She’s also co-host of a daily YouTube series called In Lieu of Fun.

On the Gist, how Kate found herself on a daily live show during quarantine.

In the interview, Kate talks to Ben Wittes, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, co-founder and editor-in-chief of Lawfare, and Kate’s co-host on In Lieu of Fun. They discuss how the global pandemic spurred a need for intelligent discussion in a less than lateral way. Guests on their show have ranged from apiarists to the former president of Estonia. Wittes wanted to build something that welcomed a community, allowing for audience input around guest selection and conversation topics. Along the way, he found an avenue that continues to forge new friendships without the stale in-person meet and greets we so often find at happy hours.

In the spiel, what it’s like to build an online community during this crisis.

CoinDesk Podcast Network - BREAKDOWN: An Unintended Consequence of Low Interest Rates? The Big Get Bigger

As companies have to shift their business model to contend with low interest rates, the largest find themselves in a comparatively better situation.

This episode is sponsored by Crypto.com, Bitstamp and Nexo.io.

Today’s episode of The Breakdown is an extended edition of the Brief.

NLW discusses:

  • The “COVID-19 vaccine trade” on Wall Street kicks markets higher
  • The latest on TikTok vs. the U.S. and what it means for the U.S.-China relationship
  • More companies move reserves from cash to bitcoin


The final topic today looks at news that some large money market funds are shifting fees from users and taking the financial hit themselves. This creates a dynamic where only the largest companies can survive long term, and reflects a key unintended consequence of low interest rates.
