AI is NOT replacing your job, it's "degrading" it. here's how | The Moynihan Report
Signal President Meredith Whittaker joins The Moynihan Report for a deep dive into the AI industry, exposing how artificial intelligence is often just a marketing term designed to degrade jobs rather than replace them. An ex-Googler, Whittaker breaks down the dangerous concentration of power within Big Tech companies like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft, revealing how their surveillance business model creates an unholy alliance with the government. The conversation covers the chilling reality of digital privacy, the failure of "private" apps like WhatsApp, the threat of targeted spyware, and the inside story of the Crypto Wars, all while touching on figures like Sam Altman and the fight for true encryption.Subscribe to the YouTube!

How one man's videos put him in Andrew Tate's legal crosshairs | The Moynihan Report
In this episode, Michael Moynihan chats with Nathan Livingstone, the Aussie filmmaker who found himself in the crosshairs of the "most Googled man," Andrew Tate. Nathan details his journey from a forklift driver fired over COVID mandates to a leading chronicler exposing Tate's "unique evil"; a mission that's now landed him in a major defamation lawsuit he calls "lawfare," where the "process is the punishment." But the conversation doesn't stop at Tate. Nathan and Michael dive deep into the "conspiracy rabbit hole" defining the new Right, tackling Tucker Carlson's "softball" interviews with Tate and Nick Fuentes, the "schizophrenic" theories of Candace Owens regarding the Charlie Kirk assassination, and the alarming rise of Nick Fuentes and his "groypers." It's a fascinating look at the battle for "team reality" and the high price of exposing the internet's most controversial figures.Subscribe on YouTube! Hosted on Acast.

The 'Cheney-to-Trump' pipeline: how the VP paved the way for MAGA | The Moynihan Report
In this episode, Michael Moynihan kicks things off by dissecting Bill Crystal's bizarre "inner social Democrat" tweet celebrating Eugene Debs, contrasting it with Debs' actual call to "abolish the capitalist system." This segues into busting the popular myth that socialists just "want Sweden"; as someone who lived there, Moynihan reveals Sweden is actually a "very capitalist country," plagued by a disastrous rent control system with 10 to 20-year waitlists. Then, journalist Josh Szeps joins to reveal his "grand unifying theory": Dick Cheney is the "most influential person... in our lifetime" and the true architect of today's political polarization, arguing his "eat or be eaten" worldview and norm-breaking (like the Scooter Libby affair) set the stage for the Trump era. The conversation also explores the nature of faith and atheism, comparing the profound, post-tragedy wisdom of Nick Cave to the "flippant dismissiveness" of new atheists like Richard Dawkins.Subscribe to the YouTube!

The impact of election on future of the Democratic Party with Don Calloway | The Moynihan Report
On this episode of The Moynihan Report, host Michael Moynihan dives right into the 2025 Election Day action, covering the NYC mayoral race with Zohran Mamdani and the big governor's races in Virginia and New Jersey. He also gets into the political reactions surrounding Dick Cheney's death, calling out a pretty disrespectful tweet from NYC Councilman Chi Ossé. Then, he shares the story of his recent appearance on Real Time with Bill Maher alongside Marjorie Taylor Greene, giving his take on her whole "Rothschild's Space Lasers" comment and her surprisingly friendly welcome on The View. The episode also tackles the "civil war" splits happening in both parties, from drama on the right to Gavin Newsom's changing tune on "woke" issues. To wrap it all up, Democratic strategist Don Calloway joins the show, giving his on-the-ground read of the Virginia race (predicting a Spanberger win) and discussing how economic populism is showing up in unexpected places, from Mamdani to Republicans like Josh Hawley.Subscribe to the YouTube!
