#33 Mueller: Big Nothingburger? Election 2020, who will live to fight Trump? Can a Libertarian Succeed? So many questions!

#33 Mueller: Big Nothingburger? Election 2020, who will live to fight Trump? Can a Libertarian Succeed? So many questions!

#33 In this episode we explore an old old topic from waaaaay back. The Mueller investigation that dug into the Trump/Russia accusations that turned out to be false.

Mueller testified on the hill this past week and revealed absolutely nothing...kind of.

Election 2020 is upon us with the Democratic primaries in full swing. One of about 67k candidates will survive to take on big bad Orange Man! Who will it be? Will a libertarian jump in the mix and successfully primary Trump?

Oh Capitalism. I know some people keep calling you names, but I know you are wonderful. Please accept us back after we relearn the same lesson over and over again.

Good reads on capitalism and poverty:

#30 The slow march to the legalization of marijuana; Unions, what are they good for?

#30 The slow march to the legalization of marijuana; Unions, what are they good for?

#30 Finally numero 30 is out. You wouldn't believe the amount of technical difficulties we had with this one. Don't mind some of the audio issues - I tried my best to clean it up.

We cover a not so controversial, controversial topic: the legalization of marijuana. It's inevitable, but what will we have to come to terms with as a society? Are there landmines? IDK, listen in and you tell us.

Unions! What are they good for? We cover some of the roles and responsibilities held and once held by these historic American institutions. Are they still needed? Do markets and the free movement of information - like never before - render them obsolete?

As promised, Rich's facebook rant on Unions can be found here: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1417024801734078&id=833230083446889

#28 Who are the Intellectual Dark Web? NFL bans kneeling; and Why do people lie about police interactions?

#28 Who are the Intellectual Dark Web? NFL bans kneeling; and Why do people lie about police interactions?

#28 The long-awaited return of The Podcast Without a Name. In our triumphant return from a two-month hiatus, we cover the Intellectual Dark Web, the NFL's kneeling ban, and the phenomenon of high profile people lying about police interactions.

Who are the "members" of the Intellectual Dark Web and why do they even exist. See: http://intellectualdark.website

Check out the piece that pushed these folks into the spotlight: https://nyti.ms/2HXUM6L

The NFL caused a shitstorm when they, seemingly out of nowhere, decided to ban kneeling. Are they really doing it for rating? Did they shoot themselves in the foot?

The NFL's ratings issues are more complex than national media would have you think. See: https://www.forbes.com/sites/briangoff/2017/10/23/nfl-losing-viewers-at-alarming-rate-but-faces-limits-on-its-response/

Finally, we explore a behavior that police bodycams have revealed: People lie about police misconduct at what appears to be an alarmingly high rate. This could be undermining legitimate cases and push people away from these causes.

#27 The Gun Control Big Picture; Package Bombs; North Korean Diplomacy, part of the March to War?

#27 Rich and Joe bring back The Podcast Without a Name after an almost two-month hiatus. <br /><br />We dive right into the topic du jour, gun control. After the most recent Parkland, Flordia school shooting tragedy the gun control debate widens. Are there sensible limits? What is actually going on in our schools? Does the center have the best approach? <br /><br />Package bombs in Austin, Texas. Is this the work of a Unabomber wannabe? <br /><br />Finally, the world is quietly watching the full-scale diplomatic effort to solve the North Korean issue.

#26 New Tech from CES 2018; Wi-Fiber and Net Neutrality; The Chilling Effect of Social Media Censorship; Steven Pinker's "Alt-Right"

#26 New Tech from CES 2018; Wi-Fiber and Net Neutrality; The Chilling Effect of Social Media Censorship; Steven Pinker's "Alt-Right"

#26 Happy New Year!!

Year Two of The Podcast Without a Name starts with highlighting some neat tech announced at CES 2018:

- Toyota's e-Palette: The pizza shop, retail, and salon will soon come to you.

http://www.thedrive.com/sheetmetal/17487/toyota-unveils-e-palette-alliance-and-concept-vehicle-at-ces

- Kohler's Numi, Smart Toilet: Men, close your eyes and picture this - colored lighting, music functionality, a heated seat, and a foot warmer, built into your toilet. REJOICE!

https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/kohler-numi-smart-toilet-amazon-alexa-craziest-launch-at-ces

- Wi-Fiber: Modular wifi that replaces streetlights.

https://www.engadget.com/2018/01/10/wi-fiber-streetlights-ces-2018/

How can Wi-Fiber lower the barrier to entry for new ISPs and kick off a new era internet access dominated by content providers and not ISP. Potentially leading to the end of the Net Neutrality argument as we know it today.

This brings us to possibly the real Net Neutrality argument: The chilling of speech by Social Media giants like Google, Facebook, and twitter.

Who fact checks the "fact checkers?"

Facebooks own research reveals how social media can have real and impactful effects on individuals, both positive and negative. Given this real influence and the curating of content based on specific worldviews, we all should be concerned. Even if you're benefiting from this trend, it could turn on you.

Finally, we consider Steven Pinker's controversial statements on how the "alt-right" was formed. Steven Pinker is a Johnstone Family Professor in the Department of Psychology at Harvard University.

#25 Obstacles to Civility: Misuse of Technical & Academic Terms; Trickle Down = Supply-Side, so what is it? Net Neutrality, does it matter?

#25 Our not so special Christmas special. ;)<br /><br />Obstacles to civility: How people misuse technical and academic terms in everyday conversations. Often people apply highly technical concept inappropriate or just flat out don't understand what purport to be experts on. <br /><br />These intellectual misdeeds are often the covert source of debates fail. <br /><br />What is trickle-down economics? What it's not is a real economic theory, that would be supply-side economics. So why do you hear "trickle-down" in the media? Supply or demand-side economic theory the Yin and the Yang of the United States economy, not one has failed us. How does this relate to tax reform?<br /><br />Finally, we dive headfirst right into net neutrality - unintentionally. So, does net neutrality really matter?

#24 One Year Anniversary Extravaganza! What are we doing? Oh yeah, Tax Reform and the Kate Steinle Story

#24 marks our one year anniversary! Join us as we discuss where we've been and where we want to go. Get out take on our favorite episodes and listen to Rich's critically acclaimed monologue from episode 10.

After we talk about ourselves for awhile we eventually get to tax reform. As you can probably guess it's not all it's cracked up to be -- both for liberals and conservatives.

Finally, we briefly throw around out thoughts on the Kate Stienle case (5x deported illegal alien killing of a women in San Fransico). It's not murder, but it's not just a weapons charge. What say you?

#22 Defining Terrorism - Hint, Race Doesn't Matter; Harvey Weinstein and Moral Panic; The Rich and Joe Show!

#22 Defining Terrorism - Hint, Race Doesn't Matter; Harvey Weinstein and Moral Panic; The Rich and Joe Show!

#22 Rich and Joe discuss the ridiculous and intellectually lazy virtue signaling that claims brown skin people are more likely to be labeled as a terrorist than a white person, ultimately being called mentally ill.

Unfortunately for dishonest "journalists" or bloggers, the definition of terrorism is clear - the motive being political or ideologically driven. Period.

Regardless of motive, according to the American Psychological Association (http://psycnet.apa.org/record/2014-33751-001) lone-wolf actors are 13 times more likely to be mentally ill than group actors (CORRECTION: Joe claims 80% in the cast, although wildly misquoting this research, he still maintains the same position -- lone wolf actors are statistically significantly more likely to be mentally ill than a group actor.) Mental illness and terrorism are NOT mutually exclusive(see: http://psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/2014-33751-001.pdf & http://www.start.umd.edu/news/mental-illness-and-terrorism).

We can be equally as appalled by a mentally ill individual killing people just as much as we are when it's a terrorist. As alluded to above, I would argue that if you're a terrorist, then you're mentally ill. At least some researchers agree with me (see: http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/1057610X.2015.1120099)

Finally, we discuss the Harvey Weinstein fallout and how our society needs to address the behavior and policies that encourage victims to stay silent. How do we balance justice and preventing a moral panic?

#21 The Truth About the New Center; Harvey Weinstein and Sexual Assault/Rape

#21 The Truth About the New Center; Harvey Weinstein and Sexual Assault/Rape

#20 After a long break Rich and Joe dive into Harvey Weinstein and explore why it took so long for his victims to speak out. Do victims have a responsibility? What keeps them silent?

Reading: https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/matter-personality/201210/why-dont-child-sex-abuse-victims-tell (Focuses on children, but offers a glimpse into why all victims stay silent)

What is the "New Center" and how does it compare to Modernity? Whether you call it Modernity or the "New Center" most misunderstand them both. Joe and Rich set the record straight.

Reading: https://areomagazine.com/2017/08/22/a-manifesto-against-the-enemies-of-modernity/amp/ (referenced article where Joe believes that the authors mischaracterize the "New Center")

#13 SCOTUS: Hate Speech = Protected Speech; The Fight for $15 backfires; Slow march to Single Payer

#13 SCOTUS: Hate Speech = Protected Speech; The Fight for $15 backfires; Slow march to Single Payer

#13 The Rich and Joe Show returns. We're out the gate with what should be obvious: Unpopular speech is protected -- and the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) agrees.

Our good old friend Bernie Sanders and his budding relationship with the FBI. We're withholding judgment.

The fight for $15 backfires in Seattle. According to the University of Washington, wages have retracted. UC Berkeley appears to counter those findings. Check them out here and you decide:

University of Washington: http://www.nber.org/papers/w23532?utm_campaign=ntw&utm_medium=email&utm_source=ntw

UC Berkeley: http://irle.berkeley.edu/seattles-minimum-wage-experience-2015-16/

Turns out there's possibly something shady going on with the Berkeley research: https://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2017/07/03/busted-emails-show-seattle-mayor-worked-with-berkeley-to-preempt-study-criticizi-n2348804

#12 Bernie Has a Heart; Do Critical Thinkers Have to be Apolitical? Rich Pays Tribute to Jake!

#12 of The Podcast Without a Name's Rich and Joe Show! Anthony continues to do real things with his life while Rich and Joe talk. About what? Thanks for asking: <br /><br />No, politics didn't create a nut job that shot up the GOP baseball game. But the overall rhetoric, from both sides, gave him a target. Let's not forget this stuff goes both ways.<br /><br />Critical thinkers are human. They don't have to pretend to be above politics. They just need to articulate their position and practice dialectics.<br /><br />Trump reverses most of Obama's Cuban policy. No surprise. Should we even care?<br /><br />Amazon buys Whole Foods for $13.7 billion. Perspective: Facebook purchased WhatsApp for $19 billion -- an app with like 20 employees.<br /><br />Finally, Rich pays tribute to his dog Jake.

#11 Leaky Comey testifies, Throws shade at Loretta Lynch! Then there's McCain; Lion of London Bridge

#11 Leaky Comey testifies, Throws shade at Loretta Lynch! Then there's McCain; Lion of London Bridge

#11 The Rich and Joe Show Presented by The Podcast Without a Name.

While Anthony is off nightgown shopping, Rich and Joe dig into the Comey testimony and the craziness that ensued.

We learn that Trump didn't interfere with the Flynn investigation, but Comey has his opinions. Hmmm. The most revealing factoids weren't related to Trump/Russia: Loretta Lynch quite possibly obstructed the FBI investigation into Hillary's private email server. What? Yep, the most compelling revelation was linked to the Hilldabeast. Oh, and Comey is a leaker.

What's the deal with John McCain? He rants, we listen, we don't understand, he clarifies, we still don't understand.

Finally, The Lion of London Bridge is a badass Football (aka Soccer)hooligan that saved many lives during the London van and knife attacks: http://www.independent.co.uk/News/uk/home-news/london-bridge-terror-attack-fk-fuck-you-im-millwall-hero-roy-larner-football-fan-lion-of-london-a7775246.html

What does that even mean and is it threatened? <br /><br />Who are the real threats to the African American Community? <br /><br />Then we have North Korea.
