On this week's Mean Age Daydream, Brian looks at the predictable outcome from terrible laws in Australia and Canada demanding social networks pay media outlets for posting news.

Brian looks at how Climate Change hysteria was the prime cause of the Maui fires that have killed over 100 people, because Hawaii Electric focused on "green" initiatives instead of wildfire and grid safety. Also: Rand Paul and Jim Jordan team up, Blue Beetle's Latino star and director are morons, and just say NO to masking and shots for covid strain Eris.

Longtime journalist and host of "The Death of Journalism" podcast John Ziegler joins Brian to discuss the broken media, the loss of trust and if there is any hope for that industry.

The infinitely hateable Megan Rapinoe goes out in embarrassment, as does the USWNT. Also, Elon Musk makes a bold declaration to pay legal fees for anyone fired from posting on "X" (Twitter), and the SCOTUS makes a terrible temporary ruling on ghost gun kits.

RFK Jr has been slandered in ridiculous fashion, culminating in a desperate numbers-based conspiracy theory about Nazi symbology. Why? Because of the danger he represents to the status quo. Also: Trump gets indicted for Jan 6th, The IPCC's new chairman actually tells the truth (kinda) for once and Brian has a new role with the Libertarian National Party.

Bronny James collapsed with cardiac arrest at USC's basketball practice and we all have to ask the obvious question.

Author of “Underthrow: How Jefferson's Dangerous Idea Will Spark a New Revolution” and host of the Constitution by Consent Contest, Max Borders joins the show to discuss decentralizing the future and bringing new governing concepts to bear. Afterwards, Brian looks at Trump skipping Tucker Carlson’s “presidential forum,” the new woke-as-hell “Snow White,” and some candid assessments from a Hollywood comedy star.

On this week's Mean Age Daydream: Hollywood is melting down over the failures of freshly woke mega franchises, while "Sound of Freedom" shocks at the box office (and threatens the classic studio system). Also: the devil of "cognitive infrastructure" is the government's latest invented phrase to attack civil rights.
