It's me Jamie this is your daily pep talk I know it's been rough going ever since people found out about your acapella group Matt harmony but you will bounce back I mean you're the guy always helping people find coverage options with the name your price tool it should be you've given me the pep talk now get out there hit that high note and take mad harmony all the way to nationals this. Is. The insurance company in affiliates pricing coverage regulated by state law this. Is Armstrong and get a 5 to 10 am I've lived with me every day of my life and I'm no genius. When I was a kid I was fascinated by. Thirst and I can't press my phone but damn it 3 to 6 Chip Franklin and he was there. I can't talk right now on the radio and 69 John with. Power watts going all over the place. Elizabeth Warren's been refusing to say our taxes have to go up to pay for programs but guess who agrees with them a little bit on a list with more insight on this one she can't say your taxes will go up by 100 dollars and your insurance will go down by 500 just made 400 dollars machine doesn't trust the voters enough to offer that explanation she's right about the far right corner and the far left over there but here in the middle it's Armstrong in getting. To me Armstrong and yet here. I was on a panel in the Senate. I'm not even sure what panel it was but he was talking to Professor. And who studies tech and searches and. How it influences opinion votes and it's interesting Ted is adopted or is moved back into a much more reasonable curious likable guy thing he one would like bomb chucking in obnoxious for one who's running for president yeah I think that's off the table now I wonder if the potatoes thing humbled him a little bit 2 more years Senator you when you get 6 years you don't have to you don't have to be in the bomb check again yeah yeah Donald Trump may be a rat but I have no desire to copulate with your good times in a brilliant line but anyone here you know we have the name of this professor I'd left the fact sheet I hadn't in the office like an idiot but we'll get it for you. But the let's listen in for a minute. Same approach at google Dr Epstein I found your testimony incredibly powerful and incredibly concerning and if anyone draws news out of this hearing I would encourage you to review very carefully Dr Epstein's testimony and I'd like to take a moment to make clear several things 1st of all as I understand your background. You're not a Republican and nor are you a conservative is that accurate that would be an understatement. And indeed you're the former editor in chief of Psychology Today correct so you are a respected academic You testified before this committee that Google's manipulation of votes gave it least $2600000.00 additional votes to Hillary Clinton in the year 2016 is that correct that's correct we had a scan and Ok. We give everybody you know the you reply what you just heard what do you mean by manipulation was not a number he really hear more but when you hear that number you know 2600000 Wow Ok when it's correct and I want to make sure I understand you personally supported and voted for Hillary Clinton I was a very strong public supporter of Hillary Clinton and so you're not just dismayed that people voted for but your testimony is that Google is through bias in search results manipulating voters. In a way they're not aware of on a massive scale and what I'm saying is that I believe in democracy I believe in the free and fair election. More than I have any kind of allegiance to a candidate or a party and looking forward if I understood you're testimony correctly you said in subsequent elections Google and Facebook and Twitter and big text manipulation could manipulate as many as 15000000 votes in a subsequent election in 2020 if these come. Bunnies are supporting the same candidate there are 15000000 votes on the line that can be shifted without people's knowledge and without leaving a paper trail for authorities to trace Ok hold on to. This guy one thing I really liked about this guy when I watched it was he clearly is playing the long game for democracy because even if you think and I don't care Google's on my side it's not always going to be that way that whatever tech company can manipulate votes is going to be on your side and it can work against you as easily as it can work for you it's the same with the Russian official they can sort of interference and it's not always going to help your side as we said many times during the Obama administration be careful giving the president kingly powers because you might not like the next guy and will say it to the Republicans right now. Robert Epstein is good is a word he works in the rest of it but that's his name anyway rolling along for authorities to trace you describe the go vote reminder and you said it wasn't a public service announcement but rather manipulation can explain how I'm not sure everyone followed the details of that. Well sure if on Election Day in 2016 if Mark Zuckerberg for example had chosen to send out go vote reminder say just to Democrats and no one would have known if he had done this that would have given that day and additional at least $450000.00 votes to Democrats and we know this without a doubt because of Facebook's own published data because they did an experiment that they didn't tell anyone about during the 2010 election they published it in 2012 and we had 60000000 Facebook users involved they sent out a go vote reminder and they got something like 360000 more people to get off their sofas and go vote who otherwise would have stayed home the point is I don't think that Mr Zuckerberg sent out that reminder in 2016 I think he was overconfident I think Google Google's overconfident They all these companies were I don't think he sent that out without monitoring systems in place we'll never know what these companies are doing but the point is in 2018 I'm sure they were more aggressive we have lots of data to support that and in 2020 you can bet. That all of these companies are going to go all out and the methods that they're using are invisible they're subliminal they're more powerful than most any effects I've ever seen in the behavioral sciences and I've been in the behavioral sciences for almost 40 years you know our Democratic colleagues on this committee often talk about what they view as the per Nish effect of big money and big corporate dollars . What you're testifying to is that a handful of Silicon Valley billionaires and giant corporations are able to spend millions of dollars if not billions of dollars collectively NASA velly influencing the results of elections and there's no accountability you said we don't know we have no way of knowing if Google or Facebook or Twitter sends it sends its Democrats or Republicans or how they bias it because it's a black box with with with with no transparency accountability whatsoever and I understanding you correctly Senator with respect I must correct you please if Mark Zuckerberg chooses to send out a go vote reminder just to Democrats on Election Day That doesn't cost him a dime Can you pause there Sean So listen I I hear some of you think you know I'm thinking like like crazy about that that testimony by Robert Epstein He's a Ph d. With the American Institute for behavioral research technology do we went to Harvard the rest of us he's well respected He's a frequent commentator on n.p.r. And all sorts of liberal networks but my mind is a whirling 1st of all that is enormous power in a few hands you could make the argument fuse in like 2 people or oh yeah I mean certainly you could put them all on in a minivan and take them to Cupertino. On the other hand evolve they're doing is as. Other private citizens they're not government officials they're using their company to say hey go vote today don't forget today's election day and only targeting Democrats I don't there's nothing illegal about that is there anything immoral about that I absolutely think people ought to know what they're dealing with and what these companies are. Doing no one know they're illegal and immoral no no yeah but shocking in amazing and how comfortable are you with that sort of power resting in a very few people's hands. The go Both thing I can understand on anybody having any idea that they're doing it or have any record of it having been done the if you're skeptical as to whether the go vote would work as well as this guy says or Facebook agrees gets back to the conversation we're having earlier about how you can absolutely know what your wife's myrth day in space and off on that day this is for those people Facebook's and into Election Day Oh yeah right well in which one of us man woman young old black white other hasn't had a friend or spouse say Ah come on and you say are right sometimes Let's go vote remember to vote it's important go vote today it only takes a couple minutes so why is enough to get a lot of people off the couch and this guy is one of the foremost researchers in the field in the world any Hillary supporter and a lefty and and all that but he's worried about it for the for the long haul because you know the the other side will will eventually get it to sure you can slog your way through Iran you can easily picture some you know big evil person of some political bent you hate getting control of these corporations and doing something you hate with a point that's really interesting. So he thinks the he does there's no way to know if he did it or not 2016 but he doesn't think they did it only because everybody knew Hillary was going to win so easily there were no there was no point worrying about it but that that's those days are gone nobody will ever feel that way again right no matter who's ahead by how much targeting a certain number of districts in a certain number swing states the effect that could have because remember you don't have to paint the entire country just try to flip districts you know you'd be no need to although it costs him nothing and takes very little just a couple of keystrokes Yeah but he doesn't need to hit. New York in California with get out and vote they're going to go out and vote in the Democrats going to win right but you deal with Ohio and Pennsylvania and Michigan Wisconsin and those places Florida you know feel free to text Here's the text number you should have it in your phone in case some day you want 241-5295 k. F.t.c. Now we don't have one of those fancy 5 digit ones for some reason again because we're stupid 415295 k. F.t.c. Or e-mail mail bag at Armstrong and get a dot com. Unplug the Internet that's my that's my cause if you are against huge corporate dollars in politics. How can you be in favor of wielding this sort of corporate power in politics I am simply because I like the Koch brothers who. Own brothers only or Elizabeth Warren any of the people that are on the debate stage regular citizens united as we're in Ok maybe you're right maybe you're wrong how about this thing about this and. Let me finish my point plus the Koch brothers use money to achieve precisely what Mark Zuckerberg can do for free and you don't mind the money surely you don't mind radio stations getting ad revenue you mind the effect they're having so you have to hate this if you're a lefty has been screaming about money in politics and the computer thing would be way more effective. Oh the Koch brothers and again can't talk to people with the money the same way now it's official compared to what Google can do with manipulated search results and Facebook and the rest are all.

You know at the number one killer is here in the United States and around the world I'm Dr Sanjay Gupta C.N.N.'s chief medical correspondent it's heart disease but a new study finds cancer is sliding into the top spot in some high and middle income countries including Sweden and Canada the researchers who happen to be based in Canada said this epidemiological transition might be due to improved prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease successful strategies to prevent and treat cancers other than tobacco control have yet to lead to large reductions in most cancers so could the United States be next it's actually already happening in some high income counties across the country according to a study published last year and while it may not sound like it this is all actually good news it does likely mean we're getting better at preventing controlling and treating heart disease I'm Dr Sanjay Gupta hoping you live a better life.

Thanks on the geo a tad buttons flipping toggles pulling the retard this morning Michael Good I need a little advice here to show up yesterday and there's a package on my door and it's to the person that lived maybe a year or 2 ago where I now live but it's a children's bicycle Oh all right so they have the wrong address but I would be certain who would who would be close enough to a family to send the kid a bicycle but not know they don't live there and I'll bet they ordered it and accidentally didn't change their default address what I mean you know order you know it came I know where it came from and so I was in so it was a ride I've been trying to get over to the suite I'm put on you short pants and her writing doesn't mean the report doesn't want me to do it she's all I think this is a scam of some sort somebody I don't want to get involved I'm thinking oh this isn't a scam writing a 6 year old really trying hard because they didn't might have gotten a bike in there but for the birthday birthday so I'm going to take it to the store and I might take my chances you know once you get a good reason we take it to the store Yeah you just return to sender right. I guess I could. Take I bite Well do you do you have the name and do you know the people usually there or not no I don't know I just know the name I recognize the name so much I think I'll just load it up in the car and drop it off at this store the physical store and say hey this showed up this is the wrong address can your kid crying right now doesn't know some disc jockey has his bike right telling you a disc jockey world disc jockey in my mind yeah that is offensive. That's the like for radio is the Italian and were discharged he is the our industry's n word right exactly the worst thing you can ever say it's the radio industry's n word disc jockey. He doesn't even hear the term there is positive Sean who smile lights up the room are you show doing all right but not as as well as I should because I had a little try to put mistake earlier this week I grilled up tried several days ago but I over it wasn't a ton but I slightly overcooked it a little bit and the initial eating wasn't that bad because you can just kind of go to the middle of the try to ports a little thicker and it's fine but what I'm really noticing is it because when you reheat it you're still cooking it a little bit more each time you reheat it sure are and so now I did say I said I got try to jerk you for the last bits of it to try to but it was not it was not good so I like to start fairly Rall with with my steaks the beginning is only to reheat them for a couple of times and
