And technically, Taylor, from what I can tell, never said to to Democratic, just to vote. But then the GOP knows that they can't win a straight up vote, so they are terrified of a large voter turnout.
Exactly. She doesn't tell people how to vote, simply to register and vote. But Republicans know that the more people who vote, the less chance they have to win. They have no policies and offer nothing to the American people (other than suffering). So they have nothing to drive turnout. It's why Republicans rely on voter suppression, illegal gerrymandering, illegal voter purges, and straight up election interference.
Thank you for the commentary. There is an ACLU led case concerning law enforcement purchasing location data from app makers. Almost anyone can purchase this data. One of the fears is that states will purchase the data to track people seeking healthcare out of state. Carrying a phone into a medical office might not be a good idea. Get a Faraday bag or leave it at the hotel room.
People need to realize that their phones are homing beacons for the cell towers. Yes, apps are required to ask for your permission to track your exact location, but the phone co's can pinpoint your position fairly precisely via triangulation. If your phone auto-connects to WiFi, there are records of said connection in every place that has WiFi through which you pass. Ditto Bluetooth. If you don't want to be tracked, you have the absolute power to turn these capabilities off when not in use. As Shawn said, get a Faraday bag. They work to prevent credit cards from being scanned remotely, and they can prevent signals from tracking your phone too!
Anyone know of a legit faraday bag maker. I have a feeling that Temu would be the first result if I google it. 🤦 Ps. I love how they can pinpoint us with GPS/our phone signal, yet I can have times when devices representing three companies (ATT, T-Mobile, Verizon) have issues getting reliable internet, no weather or solar action happening. I'm not impressed.
@@Erin-Thor 😄 I totally get that! My comment was completely friendly, & I loved the comment about us driving shotgun. Beau gives me hope, & his comment section does, too. I wish you a beautiful day, from one Internet peep to another. ✌️✊Cheers 🍻!
Glad the alligators managed to sneak into these roads! Also nice to hear about the reef, my other news sources seem to have missed it. Always worth listening to Beau, and not just for the solid political commentary.
I was just studying reefs & how most are dying to hear about one undiscovered in deep ocean is amazing 🥲. I mean I knew it could happen but to hear about it so soon after studying it ( deep water reefs ) is amazing. I wonder was organisms live down there & do they glow in the dark? More things to study im happy lol.

I don’t think I’ve heard Beau frame it this way, but I’ve been viewing Abbott’s actions re: the border through the lens of “if he forces the Feds to come cut the wire/take it down/whatever, then he can point to that as the Fed taking activities to actively open the border in campaign ads” more than actually caring if it stays closed or wanting conflict with the Feds.
Also, the MAGA faithful won't have a problem with GOP blocking border legislation because it's all just the game to them too. For many, letting Democrats have the win is much worse to them personally than any actual border security efforts
Alligators and crocodiles aren't tough because they're dinosaurs. They survived the asteroid impact that killed all the dinosaurs (except the birds). So they're a lot tougher than most dinosaurs were!
@@karldubhe8619if Beau had mentioned the accurate clade of Archosaur ( dinosaurs + crocodilians + Pterosaurs + other dead stuff ) the dino nerds would have understood him and no one else would, so for a 30 second spot what he said was fine.
Don't think of alligators as dinosaurs, think of them as creatures that survived when the dinosaurs died. ETA: Yes, birds are dinosaurs, and for that matter, other creatures survived, such as our mammalian ancestors. But neither the birds nor the mammals of that time were huge fearsome creatures like the famous dinosaurs and the crocodilians, and out of those, the dinosaurs died and the crocodilians survived.

Perhaps we should treat AI depictions in media somewhat like GMOs in the food chain and require that they be identified clearly upon distribution rather than outright legislating against the use of the technology. Criminalization has never really been an effective way to control long-term behaviour.
For most applications that's probably a solid response. However, using AI - or any method - to create sexualized images of a person without this consent needs to be criminalized.

Yes, regarding the NSA data…this really only helps them with folks they have already IDd or on their watch. HOWEVER the greater question is how should your PI be used for law enforcement…
I'm very worried about the fact that many young people seem not to care about data privacy at all (according to research). I wonder if it's an issue of not being aware of the history of government surveillance, or if they are assuming they are somehow protected by laws or data security.
You have to remember, these same young people have lived their entire lives with the knowledge that their government is, in fact, spying on them. And although all agencies said that was wrong, the President (Obama) just shrugged his shoulders and signed a death warrant for the man who uncovered it, and thus shamed him. So I think it's now par for the course. I mean, torture is still legal in America, and slavery (as long as its for the government). So data protection might be on the bottom of their lengthy list of worries.
@@Erin-Thor Considering all the things certain factions in the US would love to make illegal, I prefer a proactive approach to browsing. Hell, even just researching a news item you read and question might look suspicious to some. But then, I'm legit old and learned long ago not to be too trusting of anything to do with the government. You never know who might gain power (again).
I think it's more of a case of the futility of keeping one's data secure. Everything is on the internet these days, and I can't think of one medical office, bank, or store that has not at one time or another sent us a letter saying that their data had been breeched. For young people especially, that's just the world they've always known.
@@donaldwert7137 - I’m old too, and I understand the motivation. What scares me most is the talk from Republicans about rewriting or suspending the U.S. Constitution, and civil war to effectively end it. Churches openly talking about ending this failed experiment with Demonocracy, and making the country the Christian nation it was intended to be (theocratic authoritarianism), which they don’t understand would be like a reverse Shahir law in the United States.
Good morning Beau, You sound and look like you're feeling much better. 🙏 God bless you and your family. Thank you for all the great and informative content. Have a good day.😊
Saw one of your recent vids here, the other day, where you said the last artist you listened to was davetruestories. Really happy to know we have a same appreciation for that guy. Kinda reminds me of that drummer from that really popular band in the 90’s; the one with the baby in a swimming pool album cover 😉
THANK YOU! I was already following the other channel, now this is going to be extremely helpful. It is really hard to sort out the " real news" in here I can get an idea without all the bs. I hope you continue and flourish, this country needs more people like you.
About the NSA thing: as I see it, the problem is not that a government agency is buying data on people they would need a warrent for. The real problem is that there is someone selling data a governemnt agency would need a warrent to get. Why is this legal?
Is handling stolen goods legal? In the Netherlands it is considered a crime. (heling). If you know you are buying stolen goods, you are considered to be part of the problem. The problem is, I think, that the NSA is using illegally acquired data. They buy and use these data but do nothing about the illegal activity. They make the illegal activity profitable.
I think you missframed the CIA data thing a bit, the problem is not that the CIA gets the Data without a Warrant, the problem is that people are allowed to collect the data and just sell it.
Sex determination in the animal kingdom is very interesting. There are several variations. A clownsfish and several other fish can change sexe during life. Birds, amphibians and reptiles have also very interesting sexe determination.
Good to hear you mention the cold water coral reef. I was blown away at the size of it. I hope it gets more publicity because companies may already be deepwater dredge mining. I know fishing trawlers have damged ocean habitats. I worry about these unique biospheres. 💜🐚🐙
Clean up for the Maui fires. "They" put all that toxic dirt into poorly constructed holding pits and now all that toxic stuff is going into the reef right off shore. The playgrounds/parks are being leveled. Someone has Big Plans for land they don't own (yet).
Just to be pedantic, Alligators aren't dinosaurs. They predate dinosaurs, which is more incredible, and emphasizes more how much of a survivor they are. Also evidence of why there are repugs. One doesn't need a lot of intelligence to stick around, just the willingness for blood. I read this in an abstract somewhere
Not to be "that guy" Beau, but alligators are not dinosaurs. They share one ancestor, but I believe crocodilians are still more closely related to that shared ancestor than birds (modern day dinosaur descendants). Prehistoric crocodilians were "ruling" the Earth 250 million years ago, before dinosaurs were a thing. Though I could easily be wrong, as I'm not an archeologist, just a guy obsessed with dinosaur books.
It's laying down the foundation, there's proof Israel has been committing Ethnic Cleansing/ Genocide with the U.S. as a Facilitator, BUT with their Power and Influence over the Globe, they're hoping it will be "Brushed Under the Rug" I really don't think they realize how much of the attack on Gaza has been Documented Digitally, unless they figure out how to scrub it... It's like We're supposed to be "Cool" with 30,000+ Murdered Innocent Civilians (Genocide) and 2,200,000 people having their homes bombed and bulldozed (Ethnic Cleansing)
Pretty wild that it's taken up until now for the general public to say "Hey, that's messed up," about artificially generated celebrity p0rn. It's existed for at least as long as images have been available on the internet. AI was never necessary, just photo manipulation software and an internet connection. I gotta ask again, why did the outrage and talk of legislation take so long to show up?
So confused as to why neither of the two sides said what jobs the 12 had. It won't matter if theyre low level pencil pushes, it does if they're middle to upper management. Makes me wonder what those countries know that we don't
Thanks for all the information you give us EVERY DAY. It helps when we are confronted by the maga crowd, who regurgitate what they've been told by their "controllers". And it's good to see you sounding and looking much better. Stay well!
I cracked up when Beau said, "Yeah, alligators can pretty much survive anything. They are like dinosaurs." Pretty famously, dinosaurs are known for not having survived. 🤣 But, I got what you meant. I still think it's a good enough analogy, and I am not making fun.
From what i seen in right wing circles they're against the border deal. Like you said on the other channel, it has some good things and some bad things, but the extremists refuse to accept any compromise so they are convinced this bill is bad.
I support the civilians in Gaza but after 75 years the term refugee itself is pollitical. The UNRA does not run refugee camps for Konigsberg or in the Punjab from partition. The term implies a return to a 'homelands (ie the conquest of Israel)
How so? They WERE Ethnically Cleansed 75 years ago and that process has just continued to present day... When countries receive stolen artifacts back from Colonizers who looted them, is it considered "Conquest", "Thievery" or "Just"? Another thing is that Pakistan and India were BOTH "Recognized" where the Palestinians have been in "No Man's Land" or "Limbo" for 75 years...
The UNRWA has approx. 30,000 employees. And, it fired the persons alleged by Israel to have been part of the Oct. 7 attacks. And, Ireland and some other countries are continuing to fund UNRWA because that's practically the only source of food, clean water & medicine for the starving, sick tens of thousands of children in southern Gaza right now. The US halted its contributions! That's outrageous. Demand accountability AFTER we've saved as many civilian lives as possible!
Wait, the US and Germany stopped funding the UN. At least on humanitarian aid in Gaza, I don't know if this isn't gonna cause some disintegration af the international community in the long run. The so called rules based international order seems overwhelmingly flimsy. This at least sounds pretty turbulent.
I'm up in Chicago, lots of the people around us believe it. Had a coworker not come in the office downtown from the burbs because "there are so many migrants that you can barely get around". And "Migrant gangs downtown are mugging thousands of people a day". People are gullible.
So how would federal, state or local law enforcement buy data or other digital information? With tax dollars and revenue from tickets and civil forfeitures. And then they can use the info that we purchased against us? Well thats not encouraging

I'm very worried about the fact that many young people seem not to care about data privacy at all (according to research). I wonder if it's an issue of not being aware of the history of government surveillance, or if they are assuming they are somehow protected by laws or data security.
You have to remember, these same young people have lived their entire lives with the knowledge that their government is, in fact, spying on them. And although all agencies said that was wrong, the President (Obama) just shrugged his shoulders and signed a death warrant for the man who uncovered it, and thus shamed him.
So I think it's now par for the course. I mean, torture is still legal in America, and slavery (as long as its for the government). So data protection might be on the bottom of their lengthy list of worries.
I’m older, and I always assumed that if I do nothing illegal, who gives a hoot 🦉 (💩) if anyone including the government snoops. 😊
@@Erin-Thor Considering all the things certain factions in the US would love to make illegal, I prefer a proactive approach to browsing. Hell, even just researching a news item you read and question might look suspicious to some. But then, I'm legit old and learned long ago not to be too trusting of anything to do with the government. You never know who might gain power (again).
I think it's more of a case of the futility of keeping one's data secure. Everything is on the internet these days, and I can't think of one medical office, bank, or store that has not at one time or another sent us a letter saying that their data had been breeched. For young people especially, that's just the world they've always known.
@@donaldwert7137 - I’m old too, and I understand the motivation. What scares me most is the talk from Republicans about rewriting or suspending the U.S. Constitution, and civil war to effectively end it. Churches openly talking about ending this failed experiment with Demonocracy, and making the country the Christian nation it was intended to be (theocratic authoritarianism), which they don’t understand would be like a reverse Shahir law in the United States.
Glad to see you're feeling better
5:21 his base is the MINORITY in the American population and electorate.
Good way to start my Sunday morning
Good morning Beau,
You sound and look like you're feeling much better. 🙏
God bless you and your family.
Thank you for all the great and informative content.
Have a good day.😊
Always the voice of reason
Good to hear Beau sounding healthier 🤞🏻👍🏻
Glad to hear you are sounding better!
Thank you, Beau. I’m glad that you’re feeling better❤️
👋
Thanks Beau and crew 😊.
My super smart inquisitive friend is quick this morning! 🥇👍🏽😎
Good morning.
@@Erin-Thorgood morning.
The sun is shining.
Going outside.
@@Erin-Thor Good morning Erin 👋🌞💙💙
@shawnr771 Good morning Shawn 🌄.
Best Freudian slip ever… "Get the attention I deserve"
Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that.
Thanks to Crew and Beau for their diligence. Please keep up the great work.❤
Saw one of your recent vids here, the other day, where you said the last artist you listened to was davetruestories. Really happy to know we have a same appreciation for that guy. Kinda reminds me of that drummer from that really popular band in the 90’s; the one with the baby in a swimming pool album cover 😉
Nirvana
Thank you for the only sanity in my day.
THANK YOU!
I was already following the other channel, now this is going to be extremely helpful.
It is really hard to sort out the " real news" in here I can get an idea without all the bs.
I hope you continue and flourish, this country needs more people like you.
Thanks Beau, I really do like this channel. I like the laid back feel of it. Have a great day!!
About the NSA thing: as I see it, the problem is not that a government agency is buying data on people they would need a warrent for. The real problem is that there is someone selling data a governemnt agency would need a warrent to get. Why is this legal?
Is handling stolen goods legal? In the Netherlands it is considered a crime. (heling). If you know you are buying stolen goods, you are considered to be part of the problem.
The problem is, I think, that the NSA is using illegally acquired data. They buy and use these data but do nothing about the illegal activity. They make the illegal activity profitable.
I think you missframed the CIA data thing a bit, the problem is not that the CIA gets the Data without a Warrant, the problem is that people are allowed to collect the data and just sell it.
Unfortunately it's buried in the "Terms of Service" portion of the contract YOU sign giving permission to sell it.
About alligators, the one thing they can't survive is heat. Too much heat and all the alligators will eventually be the same sex.
So, you're saying it's climate change that's actually turning the frogs gay? Lmao
And the turtles
@@PackRatManiacNobody is saying they have sex with each other. They could also become the A of LGBTQIA+
Sex determination in the animal kingdom is very interesting. There are several variations. A clownsfish and several other fish can change sexe during life. Birds, amphibians and reptiles have also very interesting sexe determination.
How does that work? In the hot weather there is only one sex born from the eggs?
Thanks Beau. Great as usual. From Australia
G’day mate from Dallas, Texas, USA! 🥰
You sounds much better, I hope you're feeling as well as you sound. Thousands of people are eternally grateful for what you do!
Good morning Beau, you sound much better 😊
Thank you for the awesome content
Good to hear you mention the cold water coral reef. I was blown away at the size of it. I hope it gets more publicity because companies may already be deepwater dredge mining. I know fishing trawlers have damged ocean habitats. I worry about these unique biospheres. 💜🐚🐙
Clean up for the Maui fires. "They" put all that toxic dirt into poorly constructed holding pits and now all that toxic stuff is going into the reef right off shore. The playgrounds/parks are being leveled. Someone has Big Plans for land they don't own (yet).
Just to be pedantic, Alligators aren't dinosaurs. They predate dinosaurs, which is more incredible, and emphasizes more how much of a survivor they are.
Also evidence of why there are repugs. One doesn't need a lot of intelligence to stick around, just the willingness for blood. I read this in an abstract somewhere
Not to be "that guy" Beau, but alligators are not dinosaurs. They share one ancestor, but I believe crocodilians are still more closely related to that shared ancestor than birds (modern day dinosaur descendants). Prehistoric crocodilians were "ruling" the Earth 250 million years ago, before dinosaurs were a thing.
Though I could easily be wrong, as I'm not an archeologist, just a guy obsessed with dinosaur books.
Thanks Beau! I’m so calmed by your levelheadedness! 😅
5:58 You stated that much nicer than I would have.
Well, it helps to remember that underwater is always above 0, otherwise it would be ice too...
You're obviously not American, they can only understand Fahrenheit. Celsius 0⁰ is the exact same thing as 32⁰ Fahrenheit.
Thanks Beau and Company!
ICJ's ruling is important for historical reasons, and airing the facts is important.
It's laying down the foundation, there's proof Israel has been committing Ethnic Cleansing/ Genocide with the U.S. as a Facilitator, BUT with their Power and Influence over the Globe, they're hoping it will be "Brushed Under the Rug"
I really don't think they realize how much of the attack on Gaza has been Documented Digitally, unless they figure out how to scrub it...
It's like We're supposed to be "Cool" with 30,000+ Murdered Innocent Civilians (Genocide) and 2,200,000 people having their homes bombed and bulldozed (Ethnic Cleansing)
We the public like Beau and I myself watch his blogs all throughout the day as does my network of friends!
Glad you are feeling better.
Thanks Beau, hope you're feeling better.
Pretty wild that it's taken up until now for the general public to say "Hey, that's messed up," about artificially generated celebrity p0rn. It's existed for at least as long as images have been available on the internet. AI was never necessary, just photo manipulation software and an internet connection. I gotta ask again, why did the outrage and talk of legislation take so long to show up?
So confused as to why neither of the two sides said what jobs the 12 had. It won't matter if theyre low level pencil pushes, it does if they're middle to upper management.
Makes me wonder what those countries know that we don't
Beau really puts things into perspective.
Had a dream that Beau was interviewing lewis black at the 92nd street Y, no more NPR and pizza before bed for me!
Beau you're sounding much better. Glad to see you're on the mend.
"Having the right information makes all the difference."
I like it.
Thanks for all the information you give us EVERY DAY. It helps when we are confronted by the maga crowd, who regurgitate what they've been told by their "controllers". And it's good to see you sounding and looking much better. Stay well!
About 15 people's bad behavior took down an organization that had about 28K employees. Arthur-Anderson and their involvement with Enron.
I cracked up when Beau said, "Yeah, alligators can pretty much survive anything. They are like dinosaurs."
Pretty famously, dinosaurs are known for not having survived. 🤣
But, I got what you meant. I still think it's a good enough analogy, and I am not making fun.
Thanks Beau
From what i seen in right wing circles they're against the border deal. Like you said on the other channel, it has some good things and some bad things, but the extremists refuse to accept any compromise so they are convinced this bill is bad.
What is their solution? I have never heard any solution.
@@okkietrooy6841 The most predictable thing you can guess, close down the border completely and don't let anyone in. In other words, build a wall.
So glad you are feeling better, Mr Beau!
You sound better, hope you are feeling it too. Thanks for all you do
Thank you Team Beau.
Please check on all of the previous problems in regard to UNRWA.
Crocodilia has been on earth for over 60 million years unchanged. They are literally prehistoric.
You're sounding better today.
Reporting here from Illinois, I know some people losing their ever loving minds over the border “crisis”
I support the civilians in Gaza but after 75 years the term refugee itself is pollitical. The UNRA does not run refugee camps for Konigsberg or in the Punjab from partition. The term implies a return to a 'homelands (ie the conquest of Israel)
How so? They WERE Ethnically Cleansed 75 years ago and that process has just continued to present day...
When countries receive stolen artifacts back from Colonizers who looted them, is it considered "Conquest", "Thievery" or "Just"?
Another thing is that Pakistan and India were BOTH "Recognized" where the Palestinians have been in "No Man's Land" or "Limbo" for 75 years...
The UNRWA has approx. 30,000 employees. And, it fired the persons alleged by Israel to have been part of the Oct. 7 attacks. And, Ireland and some other countries are continuing to fund UNRWA because that's practically the only source of food, clean water & medicine for the starving, sick tens of thousands of children in southern Gaza right now. The US halted its contributions! That's outrageous. Demand accountability AFTER we've saved as many civilian lives as possible!
And leave a comment to help the algorithm. Beau should be on everyone's watch list.
"Africa" is a HUGE place. Any question about generic Africa is too broad.
Why in H*** is trump allowed to have a say about anything in Congress.
Thsnks Beau , I love your weekly on the road videos , great info on many subjects coming from a man in the know 👏👏👏👏! ❤️🙏🙋🏻🌈🌈
Wait, the US and Germany stopped funding the UN. At least on humanitarian aid in Gaza, I don't know if this isn't gonna cause some disintegration af the international community in the long run. The so called rules based international order seems overwhelmingly flimsy. This at least sounds pretty turbulent.
Hey Beau, I live in Illinois, and I never fell for their tactics....🤣🤣🤣
I'm up in Chicago, lots of the people around us believe it.
Had a coworker not come in the office downtown from the burbs because "there are so many migrants that you can barely get around". And "Migrant gangs downtown are mugging thousands of people a day".
People are gullible.
So how would federal, state or local law enforcement buy data or other digital information? With tax dollars and revenue from tickets and civil forfeitures. And then they can use the info that we purchased against us? Well thats not encouraging
