The argument that the problem in this country is because I guess the balloon just blew over as it were. The biggest danger facing America is the increasing debt and deficit. What he will not tell you is that the deficit was cut by like 1.5 trillion dollars over the past year. Which is again if you were worried about these things that's the direction you'd want it to go. A big part of that was also increased revenues that were unanticipated because the economy has been so gangbusters. But here he is trying to sound reasonable about this. But again what are you going to cut? And like many of you, I worry about a future that feels less secure than it should. A lot has changed in recent years. our Southern border was once secure. Now the number of illegal immigrants who cross our border in just two years easily exceeds the population of 25 States. Americans are getting hammered by high prices. Today nearly two-thirds of all Americans are living paycheck to paycheck struggling to make ends meet. Meanwhile, China is infiltrating our culture, our farmland, and our skies because they see us as weak. This is not sustainable. But of all the dangers we face, the greatest threat to our future is our national debt. You deserve the truth so let's start with the facts our national debt is high. Too high. And the problem is getting worse, not better. We are now 31 trillion dollars in debt. That is more than the size of the entire American economy. 20 percent more. Our debt is now a greater burden than it has been at any time since World War II. If we continue down this path in the next 10 years we will spend over eight trillion dollars just on interest. That's more than the entire federal budget this year by a lot. That is neither affordable nor sustainable. When debt is too high, inflation is the result. That is where we are today. inflation has exploded. mortgage rates have doubled. working Americans after inflation and taxes have gotten a pay cut. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaYfyt4Y_cw

Alex Sammon, politics writer at Slate, about the new speakership of Rep. Mike Johnson and his recent piece in Harper’s entitled “Forbidden Fruit: The anti-avocado militias of Michoacán.”

https://harpers.org/archive/2023/11/forbidden-fruit-avocado-militias-michoacan-mexico/
Alex Sammon walks through his assessment of the nascent Speakership of Mike Johnson, a nondescript right-wing bigot, first clarifying what distinction the GOP moderates were able to manufacture between him and other extremist candidates, before tackling his generically bigoted, theocratic, and fascistic agenda. Wrapping up, Sammon tackles Johnson’s role in representing the GOP’s extreme evangelical base, what that means for the future of queer people, and how the right-wing media is somehow spinning the election of the mastermind behind Trump’s coup as a success for moderate republicanism.

---The Charles Koch Foundation had a say in hiring and firing professors at George Mason University, an agreement the university denied for years, according to documents released Monday and detailed in an Associated Press report.
The newly released documents spell out the relationship between George Mason and the conservative megadonors wherein the foundation creates a fund to pay the salary of one or more professors at a free-market think tank at the school, the Mercatus Center. The agreements also create a five-member selection committee to choose the professors, and the foundation gets to name two committee members. They could also appoint members to advisory boards that had firing power should Koch-funded professors fail to live up to standards.---

Emma speaks with Trevor Aaronson, contributing writer at The Intercept, to discuss his recent podcast Alphabet Boys. Trevor Aaronson then joins as he dives right into the history of the FBI’s infiltration of left-wing political and civil rights movements, a tactic foundational to the Bureau’s Hooverian ideology, beginning with the Counter-Intelligence Program (COINTELPRO) of the 1950s that ran through the ‘70s, serving to undermine and endanger groups like the Black Panther Party and American Indian Movement and those that served as community leaders, and moving through Senator Frank Church’s investigation into and disbandment of this program and its horrendous abuses. Next, Aaronson walks through the post-Church Committee development of the FBI, as they somewhat took on a reserved role until the birth of the War on Terror, and a mass influx of funding for domestic political infiltration coming after the 9/11 terror attacks and creating a renaissance of the FBI’s right to surveil and infiltrate without a criminal predicate. Trevor then looks to the protests of summer 2020 as he takes Emma through the story of Mickey Windecker, a self-proclaimed mercenary recruited by the FBI to infiltrate and inform on left-wing activists groups planning protests in Denver in the wake of the murder of George Floyd, employing violence, intimidation, and intra-community conspiracy to undermine and entrap Black anti-racist activists into illegal acts, resulting of the arrest of one protestor for the FBI-funded purchasing of weapons for the FBI informant, who would then give said weapon back to the FBI. After briefly touching on Jim Jordan and the GOP’s “Church Committee 2.0” and why we must push back against the revisionist narrative that the FBI only (or even primarily) targets the right wing, Emma and Trevor wrap up the interview by tackling the likelihood that these tactics were also prevalent outside of Denver, and the future of his reporting with “Alphabet Boys.”

Trevor Aronson contributing writer for The Intercept but the subject of this interview is his excellent investigative work for the podcast alphabet boys. It's a 10-episode documentary podcast from Western Sound and I Heart podcast. and it's about the FBI infiltration of black lives matter protests. It's called alphabet boys again. Trevor, thank you so much for coming on. I really appreciate it. yeah. Thanks for having me. of course, so I have listened to every episode. I wait for bated breath for the weekly release of the latest one. I couldn't recommend it more highly. And before we get into the specifics of the podcast I just wanted to talk about the FBI's involvement in activist movements in general. There's a long history of this particularly left-wing activist. Although you know we saw this Gretchen Whitmer story, it's not exclusive to the left. But very very much primarily targeting the left. And I'd say it is as fundamental to the FBI as anything. So just kind of take us through that history if you don't mind briefly. And how ubiquitous this is within the FBI. Yeah, so I think when most people think of the dark chapters of the FBI's history it's you know J Edgar Hoover the Jacob Hoover era of the FBI, and what was known as the counterintelligence program. Or what most people refer to as cointelpro. Cointelpro was a program in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s that was intended to essentially infiltrate and undermine groups that Jager Hoover had termed subversive to American society. They did include some far-right groups such as the Ku Klux Klan. But the primary targets were anti-war Advocate anti-war Advocates and left-wing groups.

Sam: I'm curious about anti-Googlism. I am curious about the idea of freedom and democracy no longer compatible with the anti-political correctness of this notion of freedom. because I'm looking at reflections of shadows of that in our society in our discourse. so you know you know we can look at someone like the mercers for instance and see where they've spent their dollars in developing stuff. it feels a little bit more obscured with Thiel. I'm curious about rumble. and I'm curious about JD Vance. and I'm curious about what his project is because one of the things I see at least in our little world is Glenn Greenwald. who was actually spied on by Palantir years ago? and has now become at least somewhat of you know I wouldn't say necessarily a booster of JD Vance. but certainly, he's coming out and saying some sort of positive things. He's become a specific critic of google in terms of their in and but not offering any type of antitrust stuff right? it's just like a malevolent figure where there's no structural reform to be had. just deal with that. all of this looks very Peter Thielian.
Chafkin: yeah well I think the so so a couple of things there and people who are listening probably already know this but JD Vance in addition to writing Hillbilly Elegy and you know becoming famous for that and having a Netflix movie based on it etc, worked for Peter Thiel around the same time as a venture capitalist. he runs a venture capital firm now called Naria that Thiel is a major investor in. you know the way these VC firms work right like an anchor investor like Peter Thiel can help more or less create the firm. So he is a super important business partner to JD Vance in his pr
