Important topic!! Going further, consider a deep dive into how location tracking data is sold to brokers and eventually marketing companies. But worse it is also sold to scammers. Is there a program / phone app to “track” safely where your data is not sold?

Brian, thought you were better than this

You had a woman on who said it is ok for people to break in and occupy Columbia because “thats what happens in protests”, you need to be better as a media host. Im really disappointed that you didnt even bring up the fact that jewish students werent allowed to go to class which is against federal law. You just took this ladies pro hatred talking points and didnt counter at all.

Love my Lehrer

Many thanks for your show. Please focus less on the so called genocide and focus more on the bravery and courage of Israel for living next to terror and facing hate from the entire world that no other nation would be subjected to. Please share stories of the hostages living and dead. The only people hurting the Gazan people are their own government.
