This is Dr. Jesse Mills, host of the Mailroom Podcast. Each January, men promise to get stronger, work harder, and fix what's broken. But what if the real work isn't physical at all? I sat down with psychologist, Dr. Steve Poulter, to unpack shame, anxiety, and the emotional pain men were never taught how to name. Part of the way through the valley of despair is realizing this has happened, and you have to make a choice whether you're gonna stay in it or move forward. Our two-part conversation is available now. Listen to The Mailroom on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your favorite shows. Hey, it's Joel. And Matt. From How To Money.

We need your help to build the future of independent news media, and we hope to see you at breakingpoints.com. Turning now to censorship. There's a lot of stuff going on whenever it comes to censorship of anybody who's remotely challenges. the Israel consensus here in the U.S. The CEO of the ADL, Jonathan Greenblatt, now saying that there are AI automatic versions to try and to monitor any alleged act of anti-Semitism using AI to report it to lawyers, to prosecute, to criminalize, and to go after anybody who criticizes the state of Israel. Here's what he had to say.
Jonathan Greenblatt 2:08
We created something called the Legal Action Network. We've assembled 50 of the top law firms in the United States to create a pro bono quartery of literally like 50,000 lawyers. And so now when you enter in an incident at ADL, it instantly gets evaluated by our AI systems. Is there a litigation opportunity? And we feed it to the lawyers to evaluate and to find someone to take the case. So it used to be that, again, if you had a problem, you picked up the phone and called ADL, and it took us days and days to get back to you. Remember I told you 31,000 reports? Now using generative AI, I am responding instantly. And if you enter that something happened to you, for example, say... your kid got bullied at middle, or your kid had a teacher at middle school, a social studies teacher, who again, this oppressor, oppressed craziness, and held out your kid, you enter it in, and our gen AI,
Jonathan Greenblatt 3:03
can literally on the spot generate a letter for you to send to LAUSD that will automatically, okay, this is the chairman of the board of education. This is the superintendent of schools. This is the name of the principal of that specific school. We'll generate the letter real time and send it out for you. And at the same time, launch a petition that we can push to the city council and so on and so forth.
Krystal Ball 3:26
Wow. Gen AI, working with lawyers, 50,000 lawyers, the Legal Action Network.
Saagar Enjeti 3:32
The ADL Panopticon.
Krystal Ball 3:33
Yeah, the literal Panopticon surveillance, private surveillance state, which is working behind the scenes. And just to go and show everybody, we just had a long debate. about the role of public life, law enforcement, and churches. One of the things that we at least generally kind of agreed on was this idea of the First Amendment and of expressing yourself without being visited by police officers, as we often look at videos in the UK or in Germany when people privately post something, let's say on Facebook, and give visits from the authority.
