The A.I. revolution unveils new technologies or applications each day. And each innovation surprises and astonishes us anew. Modest estimates predict that sixty percent of all jobs will be obsolete within the next twenty years. That is one adverse effect of the coming A.I. revolution that we must face. Historical data can help us ascertain what will happen when masses of Americans are unemployed and impoverished. Such mass layoff events occurred in the 1970's, 1980's, and 1990's. Millions of Americans lost their jobs due to free trade agreements that outsourced unprecedented amount of jobs to China, Mexico, and many other countries. What coincided with the mass layoffs? The explosion of mass incarceration. We believe this was by design. The government essentially funnelled the out of work impoverished bodies, or their sons or daughters, into the many beds waiting for them in mass incarceration. Ultimately from 1970's until 2000 mass incarceration skyrocketed six-hundred percent. And from 1999 until 2010 mass incarceration jumped another seventy six percent resulting in a 37 overcapacity. Accordingly if historically widespread unemployment and poverty led to over-incarceration then we can reasonably infer our future lies there too. Therefore we can logically conclude, due to immensely intelligent machines and software applications designed to surveil and inculpate us, in addition to historical data, that within the next fifty years half of the American population will be felons, jailed, imprisoned, or on mass surveillance. That means there will only be two classes of people in the next fifty years. The non-felon elite class and the felon underclass. It is a very bleak future that is virtually guaranteed unless we unite for criminal justice and prison reform. We must enact reasonable measures such as Universal Income, turn all prisons into treatment and career centers, end prisoner slavery, and reduce overly harsh sentences down to a maximum of eight years for all non-homicide offenses and twenty year maximum for homicide offenses. The government will be given an adequate amount of time to rehabilitate and restore our people. As we mature and grow as a society we must demand that our government stop enslaving our troubled people and stealing their wages. Our government should not be in the business of slavery. It should be in the business of saving and restoring our troubled sons and daughters. Without a doubt A.I. will wreak havoc upon the working and poor classes. The same classes preyed on by harsh criminal justice policies. Therefore it is time we examine a new solution that is not predicated on militaristic harsh and oppressive systemic theft of our people's labor.

Hosts, Daniel and Linda, interview Tyreek Smith, a remarkable U.S. military Veteran, follower of Islam, and serial entrepreneur that has been incarcerated sixteen years. Originally from Georgia he migrated to Tacoma, Washington, where he tragically was imprisoned. As a Veteran and Muslim he found his patriotism and faith coincide in the passion for the incarcerated community. Demonstrating his altruism and kindness through selfless giving. Ultimately he found immense joy and purpose in starting businesses. He will share his new business endeavor aptly named "The Love Business." How did he come up with such a name from such a violent and bloody world as prison? How does he stay focused on positivity and love when surrounded by so much negativity and hate? These questions and more are answered on this exciting new podcast episode.

Defund DOC Hosts, Daniel and Linda, invite Zachary Budrow to share his remarkable story of being adopted, neglected, and suffering mental health disorders related to anger and abandonment. Explaining how he worked hard at projecting a wholesome upstanding persona. Graduating from Skyview High School in Vancouver, Washington, with many friends and acquaintances. Going as far as being a leader in his youth church group at Real Life Foursquare. He was widely known for recording many music videos for Instagram. Despite the facade, in reality, he was suffering from severe mental health disorders. In particular his anger problem was growing out of control, it was so bad that his friends had encouraged him to get help, but before he did he snapped. Repeatedly stabbing his roommate without warning. The event caused him deep regret and sadness. While in jail he experienced violent altercations. Bloody and bruised he was moved into a cell with an older tattooed convict that perhaps saved his life? But would he also find his way back to Jesus? And how would other prisoners view him if he sought Christ? That question was answered at the notoriously violent Washington State Penitentiary at Walla Walla where he was attacked in the big yard after being manipulated into a vigorous workout. Would he make it out of the assault in one piece? That question and many more are answered in this profoundly vulnerable and honest episode.
