  • Regrettably Listened to Episode

    I was looking for a podcast talking about the executive order against homeless people and stumbled across this one. Unfortunately, this show is just not very good.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

"No Kings" Protests | "Saca La Basura" (03/30)
Q: Jamie, how does our tax money end up funding these groups that participate in the No Kings Day protests?
Jamie Paige explains that foundations like Liberty Hill and related non-profits receive city money and contracts, which are then distributed to activist groups and even linked to the ACLU, creating a web of funding that supports protest activity.
Non-Profit Grifters In San Francisco (03/31)
Q: What is the core pattern of alleged misappropriation being discussed regarding the Dream Keeper Initiative?
The hosts describe how funds intended for the Dream Keeper Initiative and related programs appeared to be redirected to benefit the personal pursuits of the people running the nonprofit and their partners, suggesting a systemic lack of oversight and fiduciary responsibility.
Man Arrested For Making His Own Crosswalk (03/30)
Q: So you think they had bigger fish to fry than that?
Yes, they seemed to be more focused on the symbolism of removing or resisting, rather than addressing the concrete safety concerns that prompted the idea in the first place.
Hospice/Healthcare Fraud Raids (04/02)
Q: Bill, how are you?
We are doing well. We had a very busy morning. We announced charges on 15 different people and conducted arrests and raids across Southern California.
TSA Agents To Be Paid (03/27)
Q: Did they make a deal to fund the TSA agents and DHS?
The latest discussion suggests that a temporary funding path was created via an executive order to move money within DHS, but long-term funding requires Congress, and there is ongoing disagreement over including ICE/CBP in any DHS funding package.
