You know what upsets me? Re-watching a 3 year old episode of this show and it's a problem that hasn't gotten better; only worse. That's far too many of them BTW. I sure wish stupid people didn't outnumber smart people in my country but that's another problem that only seems to get worse.
Do stupid people outnumber smart people, or are there some very powerful people with a vested interest in keeping large portions of the country ignorant? If the majority of Americans were actually “stupid,” they would not put as much energy as they do into destroying education, libraries, and the spread of information. This whole episode is on that!

I seriously worry for society. Thanks to social media, people believe they are living in fundamentally different realities. How can people come together if they're views on basic reality are fundamentally incompatible.
Should people be more specific about which subject they are actually talking about? Could this lead to them verifying information more effectively? Certain platforms seem to cultivate an overly-broad conversation where different people, intending to talk about completely different subjects, are speaking in the exact same conversation. People start being overly vague to prevent the conversation from splintering into separate things due to genuine differences in the subject matter. The actual topic of conversation is different yet no one is noticing because of how vague everyone is being. Which system? Which industry? Which organization? Which team? Which group? What is the real subject at hand? It's like John trying to participate in a group chat with 20 different people 🤣
@@99btyler With respect, I believe that the problem of miscommunication lies with posters who practice careless writing, particularly those who fail to proofread, as well as those who care (or know) little about effective writing, and those who assume that readers are in synch with them and can easily infer what they mean--and to which subject they are addressing--without the benefit of specific references. (And I am so weary of the initialisms, such as "imo," that far too many lazy posters employ.) And I am referring to those whose native language is English. Cheers
Social Media isn't to blame for this, there's nothing new about it. I mean, can you show me a place or time in history when that wasn't true? You yourself are sounding like a jaded old person going "Oooh, that [new thing] is ruining the world and if it wasn't there, everything would be fine", and you would be just as wrong., we just haven't changed.
Every time Little leaves the state and the LT Gov takes over and does something crazy he can come back, fix it, and remind the voters how extreme the right is
Wikipedia claims that Columbus died in 1506. It also claims that Genoa didn't become a part of Italy until 1861. Do you see the problem with the argument of Columbus being Italian?
For some reason I couldn't help but chuckle at "wechat ducked up my parents." The way Jon said it sounds more like the chat literally came to life and physically beat up their parents." 😂😂
Idaho canceled the “emergency” part of the “emergency”. Why? Because if there is an emergency, then the state MUST pick up the cost/bill of the emergency. no emergency = state does not have to pay for an emergency it canceled.
Back in 2015, I had an job interview with OAN for a news producer opening. In the 15 mins I spent in a waiting area, I saw the station was airing so many pro-Trump stories that when I was requested to create a writing sample, I spun it to the political right. I was later told that my writing was "very dry and neutral". Think I dodged a bullet.
John, can you do a segment about why people are immigrating to the USA? Can we talk about Banana wars and the iron River (guns smuggled into Central America and South America from the USA. Also, how the name Communism has been used to manipulate people into believing or even voting for political ideology or even to sell people on to corporate interests? This really really needs to be discussed!!!
Didn’t Columbus do a bunch of Immoral things to Native people He didn’t discover, there were already ppl there. Here . If you want a Day to Celebrate it can be any number of things that don’t offend an entire civil , civilization .
Not only that. He wasn’t even the first European to discover the Americas. Leif Erickson discovered it centuries earlier. Columbus is actually pretty insignificant in regards to human accomplishments.
He was also regarded as a horrible person at the time too. His reputation is better today than when he was alive. He was actually removed from power by the Spanish royalty because he was too cruel and corrupt. The re-writing of history around the guy is amazing and does not reflect the reality at all.

Columbo did not discover the new world, not by a long shot. Not only had the Vikings arrived there way before Colombus, the Portuguese (please check the Treaty Of Tordesillas between Portugal and Spain signed way before so said discovery took place) when signing the treaty of Tordesillas spliting the world in half with Spain (yeah the gaule huh...) repeatedly and persistently insisted in moving the line further west until it basically covered over half of what later became Brazil. Take a wild guess why did Portugal insisted on that move further West? Was not public knowledge but was already known by those who returned from travels to the Torments Cape (not having crossed it, check the merchant winds back from there heading north) which was later renamed to the Cape of Good Hope (yeah, guess who drove that renaming) as prior to our path east through there after finding a safe way to do it nearly all ships crashed against the rocks on the cape (or on the way back, either way none returned before a safe passage technique was found). So yeah. It was not Colombus, not by a long shot. In recent history Portugal, prior to that the Vikings and further back God knows who. But definitely not Colombus, not by a long shot. If the fact he though he had arrived at India, and to this day native americans being called Indians as a result, proving how lost he was and how clueless to where he actually was there is nothing in factual History that will correct that falshood.
Basically Portugal had sent a lot of ships to the then called Torments cape working to gather knowledge, which later enabled finding a suitable path for the ships of the day.
If it follows the same schedule as the last ten years the show releases new episodes in February. The show has been renewed for three seasons a while ago. Season 11 was 2024 and the latest episode was Nov 17. So we at least have episodes until 2026.

COVID-19 related restrictions have contributed to less freedom of press and freedom of speech in various parts of the world. During the pandemic, many governments implemented measures that restricted the flow of information and limited the ability of journalists, activists, and ordinary citizens to express their views freely. For example, at least 83 governments worldwide used the pandemic as a justification to violate free speech and peaceful assembly rights. Authorities in countries like China, Egypt, India, Russia, and Turkey detained, prosecuted, and in some cases, even killed critics who spoke out against government responses to the pandemic1. These actions included closing media outlets, breaking up peaceful protests, and enacting vague laws criminalizing speech that was claimed to threaten public health.The United Nations also raised concerns about the repression of free expression during the pandemic, highlighting that some governments used the crisis to silence criticism and control the narrative. This included detaining reporters, hiding information, and criminalizing individuals under the guise of "spreading false information .These measures have had a significant impact on the freedom of press and speech, leading to a more restricted flow of information and a less informed public.
The segment sure rings a little different after the Twitter Files come out and more information about the United States gain of function research has come to light
It says a lot that I didn't notice this was an old episode until I was 18 minutes in.
History is truly a circular river.
I didn’t notice until I finished the episode and looked at the comments! Still perfectly relevant today, maybe even more so than in 2021.
I didn’t notice until he didn’t make a joke about twitter being called X.
This is why they keep posting old episodes, comedy central is doing the same thing to drive viewership.
