Episode Description from the Publisher

FLOCK CAMERAS: SAFETY MEASURE OR SURVEILLANCE STATE? This morning we walk into the two rooms nobody voted to build, one a bathroom designed to kill your grandmother and one a hundred thousand camera network watching every road in America, and we ask how both of them got assembled while everybody was looking somewhere else. We break down why forty-three thousand seniors died from falls last year in houses the code book says are perfectly safe, then we follow Flock Safety from a solar panel on a pole in your subdivision to a server in Atlanta that five thousand police agencies can search without a warrant. Then Camellia Peterson walks us through the August 4 ballot and the strangest primary season in modern memory, and voice actress Mary McDonald-Lewis tells us what happened when she declined to say things she does not believe. 🚿 We get into the most dangerous room in your house, where falls now kill eleven seniors for every American killed by fire, where Medicaid must pay a hundred fifteen thousand dollars a year for a nursing home bed but not thirty dollars for a grab bar, and where six hundred thousand people sit on a waiting list for the cheaper option. 🚨 We roll through Flock Safety, an eight year old company worth eight point four billion dollars scanning twenty billion plates a month, the LAPD inspector general finding a thirty-two percent false alert rate before the department walked away, the Texas deputy who searched the national network for a woman who had an abortion, and the Supreme Court decision in June that just moved the ground under the entire business. 🗳️ Camellia Peterson of Americans for Prosperity Missouri joins us on Amendment 5 and the push to zero out the state income tax, the redistricting fight where six Republicans are running a primary in a district that may not exist in November, and what Massie, Paxton, and a wave of DSA wins say about where both parties are actually headed. 🎭 Mary McDonald-Lewis, the voice of OnStar and Lady Jaye on G.I. Joe, tells us how a single Facebook post burned down a self-funded production thirteen days from opening, why the theater added a values clause to its rental contracts afterward, and what synthetic voice cloning is doing to the industry she helped build.
