Sen. Ron Johnson on Blinken's Lies About Meeting With Hunter Biden
"Dive right into it. I see here new emails show Tony blinken line to the U.S. Senate under oath about meeting with Hunter Biden, senator tell us about it. Well, Charlie, well, what he lied about is that he said he didn't ever email Hunter Biden. Remember, center grass and I were investigating Hunter Biden late 2019, early 2020. Remember December 2019, the FBI took possession of his laptop to 2020 was COVID. It wasn't easy to do an investigation. People wouldn't come in for interviews, but a number of people from the State Department did come in for interviews. We actually had an interview scheduled with Anthony blinken. Remember, he was deputy Secretary of State. And at some point in time, he decided to cancel that. The election happens, and then lo and behold, because he wanted to become Secretary of State, he decided to come in for an interview. And so we transcribed in and if you ask them all kinds of questions, we are primarily concerned about the May 27th meeting that he had scheduled with hunter, which got canceled because bull Biden died, I think, three days later. But then the follow-up meeting, a launch immediately occurred in July of 20 21. Of 2020. And so we want to ask him, what did he and hunter talk about and what he told us? No, it's just golf and grandkids. It's going to be golf and grandkids, just like Lois Lerner, remember that not low sort of Loretta lynch with Bill Clinton. Just golf and grandkids. Right. So again, they talked about Boeing. So how can you really press them too hard on that when you're talking about the tragedy of losing a brother? But during that interview, we asked him point blank. What kind of communications do you have with hunter? I mean, did you talk to him on the phone? He said he really didn't. We asked him, well, do you communicate him through email and text? And he said, no, now what we've seen because of the Hunter Biden laptop is we have emails where Anthony blinken was emailing Hunter Biden and probably even worse. His wife, Evan Ryan, is her name. She worked for the State Department also under Obama.

Is the IRS Coming For You?
"I want to turn to another story right now because this is important. The IRS, the IRS is coming after you. I would suspect they're going after everyone right now because they just got this big infusion of cash and they're hiring 30,000 new agents. Because they get a revamp how they're going after, you know, this is the same group that wanted to get access. To your checking account. When I say you're checking, I mean it because they were checking accounts for everyone. If you had more than $600 worth of transactions in your checking account, the IRS wanted to take a peek. It makes me concerned. Concerned for the country concerned for conservatives, because the last time I remember the IRS doing some funky stuff, with conservatives was actually under the Barack Obama administration. Remember Lois Lerner? Remember how the feds were trying to go after Tea Party conservatives? I mean, when you think about the infusion of new IRS agents, you combine it with what just happened to Matt taibbi, the reporter who, by the way, was well known for his liberal stance until he happened to get the scoop from Elon Musk. Now he's persona non grata. The IRS showed up at his doorstep. On the morning that he was set to testify before Congress. I mean, that's kind of scary stuff. You think about Jim Rosen, the Fox News reporter, who had the Barack Obama administration, spying on him or Sheryl Atkinson, who was at CBS News at the time and she has said, they went after her as well. So when you consider that they're hiring all these new IRS agents, I think it's worth also considering, are they after you because of how you are registered to vote?

You know, it was one of those moments where, you know, it's like a dream at a hearing last week, attorney Mark Howard argued for bond's release. He was sentenced to life plus 60 years at the age of 16 for something that he didn't do. And over the course of incarceration, he grew up. Howard, who students at the Georgetown prisons and justice initiative worked to free bond, says he'll continue to fight for his exoneration. Meanwhile, bond is focusing on his final semester of college and spending time with his kids. I got to make up for those moments those experiences because I desire him.

A spokesperson for the team says that Lerner died of complications from pneumonia at his home in Chevy Chase yesterday. Earlier, Washington Post sports columnist Barry's velu joined us on WTO to discuss more about learner's legacy. Head learner made his fortune in real estate and turning a $250 loan from his wife into a $1 billion real estate empire. He did it with a great deal of patience and long-term vision.

And by 2012, they were winning the first of what became four national league yeast titles. They made another playoff appearance in 2019 that led to the World Series.

The U.S. Military had shot three unidentified high altitude objects out of the sky in only the past four days. National security officials say they're working intensely to figure out where they came from and their purpose. One thing is for sure, according to top people at The White House, they are not alien vehicles national security correspondent JJ green. U.S. officials don't believe these last three objects were a threat to people on the ground, but they shot them down anyway. Because we have not yet been able to definitively assess what these most recent objects are. We acted out of an abundance of caution to protect the security, our security, our interest, and flight safety. National Security Council spokesman John Kirby. We are laser focused on confirming their nature and purpose, including through intensive efforts to collect debris in the remote locations where they have fallen. And in the process of collecting this debris, Kirby says they're going to look very intently at what it is, but he did not say how they know these are not alien vehicles or of alien nature, but he was very clear it is not something that they're even considering and there has to be some significant reason for that IE they know what it looks like, essentially essentially to have some kind of alien presence or something like that or not. And this is not that. This is also a very important story for the Canadian government. They're holding a technical briefing right now at this very moment to discuss what they've learned so far.

Ted Lerner, the former principal owner of the nationals, died Sunday at 97. The team tweeted today learner is the reason baseball came back to D.C. after 33 years. Among the places he built, Tyson's corner center, along with the long lamented and missed white Flint mall, dulles town center, and much of the navy yard, Washington Post sports columnist berries for Luca joined us earlier for more on the legacy of Ted learner. If you think of how Ted Lerner made his fortune in real estate and turning a $250 loan from his wife into a $1 billion real estate empire, he did it with a great deal of patience and long-term vision. And when he took over the team in 2006, he and his team kind of articulated the same kind of patient slow build. And that's eventually what happened. They had a couple of a hundred lost seasons in a row. That led to high draft picks that turn into stars like Bryce Harper and Stephen Strasburg. And by 2012, they were winning the first of what became four national league east titles. They made another playoff appearance in 2019 that led to the World Series. And he essentially delivered and had put the people in place who could deliver on fulfilling the promise that they articulated from the first day. Hey Barry, in your column, you call them the team's north star. Can you explain that and what his legacy will be? Well, he was a very private person and wasn't the kind of franchise owner that kind of stepped to a lectern and said this is how we're going to do it and what we're going to do. But he had his hands and voice in everything involved with the team. I think his family, his son Mark and daughters Marla and Deborah look to him for guidance. They all got involved in the family business and they were all involved in the nationals ownership.

And that's Washington Post sports columnist, berries for luga. Well, here more about Ted Lerner in just a moment, it is 6 13. This Valentine's, let's

"Hi there this is charlie hedges. And you're listening to the next with charlie and my very special guests. Today's jaime lerner A woman who is a therapist adventurer pleasure seeker and a cute devil tae of self care. And that's exactly what we're talking about. And and i think she has so much teaches that i've learned so much from jamie and jimmy. We've talked about a bit about personal responsibility. And that letting other people know not expecting other people to somehow somehow be able to read our minds in our souls and understand what we need. We need to articulate that. What other kinds of personal responsibility you know. We're talking about our own personal responsibility and our self care. How can i take responsibility for myself. Do you have any examples of that for me now. I think that away are rewarded in society. Forbidden since Mainstream media that. They reminded us every moment. That's come we are the victim of everything. We have no control so for me. I always suggest to people to turn off the television and to Find a new source. That is a little more emotionally intelligent. That will allow us to feel good when you're done breathing. You're listening to or watching in fetter feeling paralleling cars. We have to take personal responsibility for what we are chasing to consume and hall. We will fail one way or done firmly cloud video. You know that's brilliant. You know is that we have to take responsibility for what we consume in our media. And and i find pretty much nothing but danger when not not just. Tv in general but for me. It's tv news and tv news. You know their their purpose is to stir up controversy in stirrup. Stir up resentment and anger and that victim mentality is just. It is so common on on and it's and it's in it's not one political side or the other it's all it is just so unhealthy because it doesn't teach self responsibility. It doesn't teach being rewarded for not for being victim but be rewarded for being a personal herself hero. And do you agree with that. I do agree with that. But also what's more important how you feel after you continue that because if you are not killing. Us clue for gale. It's not working on. Most people really feel terrible. They tell so soft and shutdown and the opposite of empowers the peel very different politics so there are many other choices but one could make in terms of how they were gonna get there do of the game and if our personal responsibility to be more discern institute something that allows us to that what we need an move.

"We just are and were very well equipped to do it. And it's also interesting about reinvention. Is that we lose a lot of something. That is very important along the way which is south care so women are masterful in reinventing themselves and then they also are masterful in forgetting themselves. How did how did how did he know. We're going to make a transition to self care. I mean seriously on my sheet in front of the next. The next bullet point was self care and you made a wonderful trenches transition to it. So that is what. I'd like to talk about now. And and focus probably the majority of our time is self care and personal responsibility and and especially in this current cova time of chaos and confusion and and one of the things that you told me about when we chatted before the podcast was that you described your passion. Your current passion for helping people find themselves in the moment. Can you tell me what that what that means to you. Find yourself in the moment every moment that we can be present and it is just a moment by moment and establish or reestablish connection with ourselves that that is the ultimate in self care and and i think a lot of that comes from being able to manage our thoughts and then are feeling but first and foremost our thaw and i think it's important cut. We rarely slow everything down and allow ourselves to be in that moment contain. That's why one of the most important things of how we can care for ourselves and then others it's always about foul firth and then others. It's kind of a win win for everybody. Jesus talks about that. When he says you know i it's always quoted love god and love your neighbor but what's always left out is love. Love your neighbor as yourself and to me that assumes self love precedes other love the cacao kangaroo barber care for another if they're not taking care of yourself self love is sort of. it's almost frowned upon that. You are selfish. You are ego centric if you do that and and if you take care of yourself too much and yet and yet if you don't take care of yourself you're you're no good to anyone else you know want when you could on the airplane they tell you to put your mask on on first before assisting other people and there's a reason for that. That is a universal truth. We cannot care for anyone until we care for ourselves without feeling resentment and if we feel is not much then we are not caring for ourselves or another. So you know. I think people don't really understand what it means to wrap third loving arms around themselves and nourish and nurture themselves into connection. That is the most unselfish thing that you can do. And in some ways it sure responsibility if you're then going to assume the care of others whether be children or a teacher or if you're in any role where you're in a leadership role it's just not possible to do it without having spent some time with yourself and nourishing yourself and if they're self some something to give agree with you on that and i was thinking about taking care of ourselves. There's there's just a number of of ways to do that in you know we're going to get into tactics toward the end of the Of the of the of the show. But right. Now i i'd like to disorder. Get a big picture of what do you mean by taking care of yourself. I know account. I have an idea of what i need by but but i'm curious what your interpretation is kind of goes hand in hand with taking personal responsibility to understand that really. It is known responsibility to care for your responsibility to begin to have an understanding of what year in the evening for yourself and then to figure out a way a gentle loving way to kind of implement some of that self care and most people do the opposite. They expect other people to care for them. They don't even know their own news. They expect others around them to know what they need and they expect that they should be given what they need. There's this really Twisted sense of entitlement. just because the very I think the other interesting thing about women reinventing themselves then they get to hide behind all of the roles that they've taken on as they never care for themselves the end up feeling resentful. They ended up feeling overwhelmed. The end up feeling all the things that they should be feeling and yet known even knows what they need. Not even know. They haven't even taken the time to figure out like okay but only know what i need for my. What do i need to do first thing in the morning but the guy can so myself up before we take care of all these other people so to step into that role of personal responsibility for sending the morning and ask yourself now. What are what. I need so myself. That is such a loving and lovely question to ask one and then to answer it with you. Maybe coffee before. I serve an to eat something before i i just some basic things. That really remind us that we're important. How counter cultural that is because we you know we're we're thinking we always have to be givers don't we we. We can't be. we can't be takers. we can't be an it's not even really taking it's it's more of. You're giving love from an empty cup and you've got to fill that love your love cup for yourself because unless you do you end up resenting the very people that you are serving and it doesn't feel good on your and it doesn't feel good on there and either never feels good to be given some things from someone who is representing you in the process so yet to unconditionally give to hand. That is a lovely feeling for the giver and the receiver and the way we get there is by taking care of ourselves so that we can give which hand alternate goal to feel good about the giving and to feel good about the person who is receiving what your kid i have for the last year been very involved on my own in in the in the sort of tradition node as mystic christianity and the mystics and and and i'm reading people of the thirteenth to fourteenth century teresa viola saint john of the cross and and teresa viola sort of my my guru. Now and she was. She was in the fifteenth century. And they talk about spending this time in divine contempt mystical prayer. But she is very strong that you do that in doing that. You are taking care of yourself your relationship with yourself yourself in the divine how how you relate in the divine but that that then becomes the resource for helping others that so you don't you don't just folk off. Yeah you don't just focus on yourself and forget everybody else. You have to focus on yourself but then the result is it results in a self care you. You can't help but want to share that with other people tackle once again. It's a win win for every beautiful idea. Now you want. You talked about personal responsibility in that. And i've even thought about making when i make a title for this show and we'll see what happens after the show. They make the title. But i i'm working on a premise of the me. Look at my own title here. Self care your responsibility to be responsible for yourself. Well is it so you would. You says it's good. I'm glad you agree because you're not title if you said no i don't believe any of that however it's a turn off for people a lot of people do not want to be responsible from south. They feel resentful that they should have to be responsible for themselves. They feel entitled that others should be responsible for their happy. And i think that it just needs to be thought about in a different way because who would know better for you than you know and yet we expect others to know what we need what. We consider south for first and foremost look. We need the great question. People don't ask themselves that question very often. But do you want. Don't ask themselves that either but people will tell you all day long what they want and what they get is more of what they don't want so and it's always someone else's all so you know if that doesn't work very well that way no it doesn't and and how in the world like you said if we haven't even really investigated pin through the thought process of understanding what we want and what we like in life. How in the world is someone else supposed to know that you know great costal one and yet we expect them to set us fai our needs and we've not identified their their needs. I mean our our needs and how they need to respond. You know My listeners heard have heard this before. But my wife. And i for probably. We've been married thirty six years and for at least twenty five of those. If not more. We take every year between christmas and new years now. This happens throughout the year but we take an intentional time of three days away so we can have two nights in one place. You know two full days in place and we ask each other So how was i. What kind of husband was last year. What kind of wife was i. And and what do you want from me. How can i serve you in helping. You find. You know helping you fulfill your needs and so we're forcing ourselves to identify our knees and until the other person. This is what i would like fantastic. I mean that's that's a conscious of our relationship a nice guy. Yeah yeah you know a lot of good writing on that jamie is. Are you familiar with the land baton. Elaine de button depends on how you want to pronounce it. The scarlet life. You know he's rich and really good stuff on that he's ridden maybe the best stuff of love between a man and a woman as anyone is written for you know. He's just barely turned forty now but he just has has exceptional writing on that. You know what i wanna do. I i want to go a bit deeper but before we do. I'd like to take a quick break. And then we will come back. And we're going to pursue a little bit more about this personal responsibility and how the victim mentality may come into play in that. Hi there this is charlie hedges.

"lerner" Discussed on OC Talk Radio
"If you don't exercise intentional care for yourself you will be absolutely no good to anyone else on this show jamie and i are interested in the details of self care both and tangibly. What exactly can you do on a regular basis to build your own emotional bank account so that you have plenty leftover to give to others with that on with the show Jaime lerner how fun to have you once again on the next chapter with charlie. Welcome to be here. Thank you for inviting me again again. You know jamie the last time we did a podcast together. It was show number sixty and today we are recording. Show number one. Eighty three now was just over three years ago in january two thousand eighteen. How my goodness it's great to be back. Well it's great to have you back. I had such a fun time last time. And so i'm i'm looking forward to it. I've got. I have to tell you. And i and i want everybody to know that three years ago jamie. You gave me some personal advice. I don't know if he gave it to me personally. Or if it was done on the on over on the air but you told me we were talking about my difficult childhood and you told me to quit looking through the eyes of a child and look at my childhood through the eyes of an adult and you know that sticks with me today. And anytime i i think about that i think through the eyes of an adult and i think about that situation entirely differently because of you for folklore. Nice sometimes to have a different perspective. Oh well yeah and it's nice. Sometimes they have somebody that can offer you that perspective so before we immerse ourselves in our topic. Today as i was reading a bit. I would love to hear you speak on a couple of things that you that you wrote on your website and i'd like to know what you mean by two things one. You are a pleasure junkie. I love that. And secondly you're and what you're calling your third life. You're too young for a third life. So i'm very curious would those are all about. I spent a lot of time doing things that give me pleasure. Bad is in many ways. I think that that's really looked down upon in society that if we are to indulge ourselves and do things that please However i gravitate towards things that really connect me and bring me a lot of joy and my life is about that connection with my fault also pleasure and then of course to all and it's interesting because i think that wearing. We nurture and nourish herself in the connection that were having and then recreating with ourselves that we become so filled up that we just fell over into an onto everyone around us in a really lovely way bowl. I like to think of myself as the living breathing. Example off all that is possible when we are really Other no relaxing into healthcare finding pleasure and Sharing ourselves in a way. That's bob utah. I so agree with you. And i'm i'm sort of into pleasure. I read so much of the stoic. Mark serreze in seneca the younger but i i noticed seneca coding epa occurs. And so i read epa kuras. And you know. Unfortunately his epa corey and philosophy has been bastardized into some kind of drinking. And what do you call those things so sexual thing or jeez yes. What do you call those things shows shows. You know where i live. But that is not that has a representative occurs at all epa curse was in sort of sat cloth but he was all about life is to be enjoyed. Life is is a pleasurable experience. I really resonate with that. I think you're right that when you live a pleasurable life you'll live an attractive life. I like that the way you put that so talk about attractive lives what the heck is a third life while. I'm probably on my life by now. But i had my Children very young. I had my profession very young. I have grandchildren no way. Oh yes i have. Four grandchildren four beautiful grandchildren. And the most wonderful thing that i was there and assisted in each and every one of the birth which was amazing. Like a separate flights in itself. But i think that we are in reinventing ourselves over and over and over again and especially when i think that we have the ability to just continue to evolve and fifth reinvent herself though i think i will probably have nine live by the time on dong which are wonderful certainly identify but you know what really rouses my curiosity and that is because i female leadership female wisdom is very important to me that the divine feminine is a very important aspect and so i'm just curious. Why do you think that women would have maybe more opportunity or more likelihood to reinvent themselves. 'cause i think we hassle back why i think that women The tape on so many different roles and we wear so many different hats that becomes a part of who we are. I think fat especially now. Women have much greater opportunity to do just that the continue to reinvent themselves but a lot of it is because they need to. I'm going off of chart here. What is reinventing yourself. Look like because. I wrote a book twenty five years ago. That was ahead of its time. It was called Getting the right things right personal strategies for reinventing the life you want and that was long before anything was written on reinventing so i have my ideas about reinvention. But i'm i'm curious. What are yours all what's happening now. You know women or and probably men to are out of the workplace and in their homes and there are teachers needing to become teachers and literally for children in learning every day with remote learning. I mean we. Women are masters at adapting to whatever is needed..

Merrick Garland Confirmation Hearing For AG
"But today is all about Merrick Garland. He'll appear before the Senate to take questions from lawmakers for the position of attorney general. Most people know Merrick Garland's name because of something that didn't happen. Garland never got a hearing after President Obama nominated him to serve on the Supreme Court five years ago. Here's NPR justice correspondent Carrie Johnson. Merrick Garland has devoted nearly 45 years to the law. But he didn't start out that way is, he told Professor Martha Minnow at Harvard Law School in 2016. Why don't you go to law school in the first place? Chemistry, well chemistry and math. Garland had planned to become a doctor. He wanted to help people one on one, but his collision with the hard sciences spun him toward the law, where he's looked for that sort of direct connection ever since. In the mid 19 eighties. At his law firm in Washington, Garland became a rising star. He made time for a young college graduate who worked in the copy center to Randy Thompson says Garland reviewed one of his papers, photocopied it and rearrange the paragraphs. That was the beginning of In essence and becoming a riding coach. For me, it was just extraordinary experience and became my coach. Eventually, my mentor and 30 something years later, a friend. Eventually Garland Road, MMA reference for law school and has kept in touch ever since, Thompson says garlands Still a little old school still humble, still looking to help. The only thing that really has changed about him, And I guess me as well is the color of hair. I don't know, well respected judge as attorney general. Help get the department under the quagmire of partisan politics that many people think it devolved to under President Trump and Attorney General Bar That's Georgetown law professor Paul Butler. He says the DOJ has been reeling from political scandals and racing to confront the threat from homegrown extremists. Merrick Garland has faced both before. After clerking on the Supreme Court. Garland took a job as an advisor in President Jimmy Carter's Justice Department. In those years after Watergate, DOJ struggled to separate partisan influence from law enforcement and establish new boundaries for the FBI. Garland also played a bit part in some of the biggest investigations of that era from political corruption to national security that Garland says later turned into hit movies. American Hustle about the Abscam case. Argo about the ex filtration of hostages in Iran and the most important the miracle on ice. Which was about the Lake Placid Olympics, where I did work on the security for the Olympics By the 19 nineties, Garland was prosecuting a violent gang that terrorized people in a public housing project. And helping build a case against DC's mayor Marion Barry. On drug charges Back inside Justice Department headquarters, Garland became the man to see for the hardest problems. The car bomb exploded outside of a large federal building in downtown Oklahoma City, Garland would soon travel to the site of the most deadly domestic terror plot in American history. 168 people died in that bombing in Oklahoma. Former deputy Attorney General Jamie Go Relic remembers watching that day with Garland by her side, he basically said while watching Children being pulled out of the wreckage. That he had to go. He really wanted to go. We both had young Children at the time and What we saw on those screens was so affecting. Garland oversaw the search warrants protected the chain of evidence and insisted that reporters have access to court proceedings. We wanted somebody Who could make sure that the investigation was done by the book. And that any indictment was bulletproof. Prosecutors later convicted Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols for their role in that bombing. Former prosecutor Beth Wilkinson says Garland played an important role in other confrontations with extremists in those years, including a standoff with the heavily armed Montana free Men. One of the examples I can think of is sometimes and there were these stand downs where there would be, you know, arrest warrants for someone, or there would be some kind of controversy between people who were challenging the federal government. America's first instinct wasn't to go in and arrest everyone. It was to try and along with the FBI to see if there's a dispute could be resolved. Wilkinson says. The FBI went on to arrest those men later. She credited garlands, quick thinking and cool head that may have prevented a tragic outcome. Just about the only criticism Garland's nomination has drawn is in the area of civil rights. Garland is a moderate, so I don't see him as the bold and visionary leader or racial justice that some people were hoping for again. Georgetown law professor Paul Butler that he's not an ideologue is both discerning for people who want an attorney general. To meet this moment of national reckoning inspired by the movement for Black lives and the killing of George Floyd Butler says he thinks girls just from the White House long time civil rights advocate Wade Henderson says Garland is up to the task. But Henderson says it's a big one. The next attorney general, for example, has to do everything In his or her power to fight for voting rights. Police reform Criminal justice reform and LGBT Q equality. For the past 23 years, Garland has been a federal appeals court judge in that role, he doesn't have much of a chance to share his personal views. Carolyn Lerner, the chief mediator at the courthouse, says Garland took an early, an important lead to update policies that protect workers from sexual harassment and other misconduct. I think it's very clear that Judge Garland cares a lot about these issues, and he really wants employees to be happy and comfortable in the workplace, and when he was chief judge, he took his responsibility. To these employees very seriously, she says. Garland wants to continue another of his projects at the Justice Department tutoring sessions with a young public school student. This year. The judge is working with an 11 year old boy and his twin sister. Your mom is Andrea Tucker. He makes this so interactive for them and so much fun and they can't get enough of it. It's the kind of public service that Garland has always wanted to

"Robert, If you've got a minute longer, I wanted to ask you an I r s question. I know that you've taken the Wesley Snipes case. You've fought the IRA arrest. We had problems under Lois Lerner and she was keeping my friend Catherine Engelbrecht in Houston and true the vote. Off of the 2012 election by refusing to give her and a lot of other nonprofits, their nonprofit status to keep him out of that 2012 election and later she had to admit to it. What is the status of the I arrest today? And how fearful argue that that will again become a new organ of the left to punish their enemies. There's no doubt that it will be already Democratic Members of Congress are calling for the Irish to basically reinvigorate and politically wet, re weaponized. There of their skill set to go after any entities a politically disfavor on with this franchise. I mean, during the Obama era there parallel threats One was going after using people's Don't fiber. One c three or five or one c four status, So look at donors. And to look at political groups. They just like to dis affiliate them to try to prevent them from being able to get tax protected status to preclude them from being able to get received tax deductible donations. On all of that, and I was part of fighting against that the other thing they did, and they may try toe reinvigorate this. Was they were using the I R s To massively gather people's medical records. Under the guide that they were trying to enforce the Obama care mandates. So a lot of people focused on well. Obama called it attack so that he could guide the constitutionality of the mandate. I was always trying to remind people Obama's a surveillance guy at heart he comes from, he may have learned his ideas from Indonesia. We learned his politics from Chicago. And he was tutored by people connected to the deep state surveillance state in this country. I got a very unusual offer to leave Occidental go to Columbia in New York and You look at who he was working with and working for their people that had a lot of connections to three letter agencies. And the and what he was doing is basically they I arrest which already has massive information on people with a few strokes, they could figure out few keystrokes they can figure out Where you go to church where you go to school where you go to work? Who you work with? Who you who you go to church with what party like to donate to a political causes. You care about what your family relationships are who's living with you? Because people don't realize. In order to get Quantico tax deductions. They're giving up all this information it zit self confession in masks. Without even the need for an inquisition, so that gives them that allows them to map out massive amounts of information. They've been building databases over the last 10 years to allow them to really like pal, Inter and others. To allow them to mind this data for extraordinary information. They're going to start combining that with fiber. One c 35 or one c four donor list. That's why I've been advising people skip the donor route. Just created. Elsie don't create a charity and terrible entity. Even if you have a charitable purpose, because it's not worth what the information you're going to give the Iraqis to do so. And I think that they may get back into the medical record business because what they were doing think about when you add that when you know if they illicitly seized 60 million medical records of 10 million Americans through going after one of someone who became my client, and they had every judge's record baseball players record do movie directors record They had you know whether their kids were in drug rehab what their psychological therapy was for whether they're getting secret test for certain things. That would disqualify them from their particular professional occupation. Destroy the reputation. I called it J. Edgar Hoover's wet dream of a blackmail file. And I brought suit on that got two congressional hearings to get involved, and we were able to put a stop to it because we brought the biggest Bivens class action in history in the Irish, But I have no doubt that they have plans to reinvigorate that because it's just too they'll do it in the name of the Obama care mandates. Out two degree any of those air left. You also do it the name of digitizing medical records to try to make it simpler and easier. They'll probably try to find a covert pretext to also do so because they want those files. They want to be able to look through every American's private medical files. Because of the infirm, the extortionate value that it provides. You know, if if that was the narration in a movie, it would be poorly lit, very dark and ominous music. And I think for good reason, Robert, it's amazing the work you do. Is there a case out there that you would like to bring? Because you'd like to blow that issue open and make a difference. And you've used the law as a way to bring that changes their one out there that you go. I got my eye on that. That's what even if I have to do it for free of pro Bono. I'm gonna do it. We'll really have a budget of that the moment the I've gotta figure out how to balance it out because of the the pro Bono side took up more than half of the work last year, and usually I try to have it about half that makes it manageable to make sure Keep all the bills paid for everybody who works for me. Um, but and right now, we have all that fear for those because we're gonna be challenging the fourth vaccines were gonna be challenging mandatory testing. We're gonna be challenging the mask mandate. We're going to be challenging the lockdowns. I brought a bunch of those cases last year got nice settlements for those individuals involved. Stop the most pernicious aspect of it, but the they're clearly continuing with it in some places. Restarting it up. Another place is going to be bringing elected integrity Project. Legal challenges to you know, have the same signature match rules apply, whether it's an absentee ballot. Or a nominating petition for a third party or say recall petition. Like in California, I suspect they're suddenly going to rediscover strict standards for signature matches when it involves re calling ism. I want to contest that say we gotta have one set of standards of accounts for voting. Then it kept for nominating petitions no more double set of standards. And so could be bringing all those so there's a bunch of areas also, I will likely get involved in the written house defensive some level because I have another Second Amendment case pending before the U. S. Supreme Court currently about the right of self defense because of a bunch of states are trying to get it. A lot of these cases. I mean, doesn't that just kind of level of pro bono level and I'll continue to look at cases that I think have a broad public impact, which we will do at a discounted level wherever we or pro bono level wherever we can. Currently have a big A big roster of those cases, Colonel. Robert. I will tell you every single one of the items you just mentioned. I could interview you for an hour about because I'm fascinated by it, And it's so important to what we're doing. Thank you very much for being our guest. And more importantly, thank you for the great work you're doing. Folks, you can go.

Ben Lerner: The Topeka School
"I Michael Silver Blunt this bookworm and I'm pleased to have is my guest today. Ben Lerner whose most recent novel is the Topeka School. He's also a poet and SAS His first book leaving the coaches station was recommended to me by John. Ashbery and I read it immediately. radiantly and I've read everything. Since the second novel was called Teno four and now the Topeka school there was an an essay that preceded the spoke about debating and it revealed to me that perhaps the first two books leaving the Atocha station and ten. Oh four our IMA debate at any rate some kind of conversation conversation with one another and that now the debate has moved into one volume can talk to me about the yeah. That's really that's an interesting way to look at it. I mean leaving the station kind of narrator the young narrator is incredibly distrustful of language and basically tells all kinds of lies some comics some Tragic comic in order to try to present himself to others. But certainly languages technology of obfuscation and That's that's certainly one of the things you can learn and debate is kind of weaponized eloquence. That's designed to conceal an antenna four. You're right that the movement is towards the kind of seeking out possibilities of authentic language even with a commercialized and militarized vocabulary or whatnot. And now the Topeka schools rules kind of the Prequel to those different type to both strains of language and Adam Gordon in the second book the search for sincerity or authenticity seemed to point toward a humanism that the book didn't may be entirely believe Huger and so the book is marked by acts of generosity Enron city and kindness. Adam Gordon is he the hero of both previous books. Yeah it's funny. I mean there's a little bit of a slippage between the first and second in that the narrator of the second novel is to a certain degree the narrator of the first novel so it's like the fictional avatar Dr and leaving the station. Then you get the author of the Fictional Avatar. Who still not quite me? And the second and the third you Kinda Really Adam Gordon. But it's basically continuous tenuous. Is it in some way trilogy. I think very much as a trilogy. That's the way I thought that. Yes and but also pardon me a hit galleon trilogy ending in a kind of synthesis with in the Topeka School I've thought an act of sensitivity and generosity that saves the writer from any accusations. You might still have that. He's the guy who went to Spain to write a poem about in Spanish poetry Wong liking none of it at all so that kind of arrogance seems to be drained from the Topeka school. Yeah I mean I think the I think of it as a trilogy in which the third turn the Topeka. School is kind of the unconscious of the the other two books. So that there's a way in which you know Adam Adam Gordon in the first novel like when he tells this lie about his mom beam in dead in order to get the sympathy of an attractive stranger also in order to kind of test out the thing. He's most afraid of that. That has a prehistory by virtue of reading reading the Topeka's score that makes that a more nuanced and complicated event Ben Lerner. My guest is the author of three novels which which as they appeared looked this continuous leaving. The station is the first the second is ten. Oh four which is a significant time. In what is the name of that movie was in back to the future. That's tr- it's the moment. Lightning hits the Clock Tower which which sends ends the delorean back to the future and time the past and the future and it's merging are are important here in Topeka school. The threat to consciousness is not growing up that there's a kind of sometimes called boy. Man sometimes called lost boy. He's given italicized is space in the novel. He's what any of US might be. If we fail to be able to encompass us are fuller human nature. Yes was this a fear. Yeah well in the in the Topeka school. There's this guy dare ran right who's often referred to as the man child and in a way. He's the total opposite of Adam Gordon because he doesn't have any of the resources sources he's in a way. The novel doesn't specify developmentally delayed. He doesn't have the privileges Adam has he certainly doesn't have the language but on the other hand he's really linked don't and it kind of symmetry without him Gordon in part because this guy dare ends psychologist is Adams Dad. So there's a kind of weird fraternity. They are Adam. Can't know this of course wouldn't have been information. His father would have shared but also because they're both totally dominated by the desire to pass as quote unquote real men and and they're locked in a kind of adolescent masculine terror about About whether or not they're going to be found out to be one in that regard hard and there's a way in which that kind of anxiety about being a man child or not growing up or not being able to inhabit your life and language without irony is continuous across the books. Although Darren's body will age his mind stays the age it was when he he was so to speak arrested. And even he is becomes aware of this deficiency. It's right he's the most teased he used and ridicule of more children. And then the other horrible thing happens. People decide to befriend him and he can't tell so when they're being friendly when they're being manipulative and when they're laughing behind his back that's right and Adam He's our hero but he's not a lost boy but he graduates to become a nerd. Yeah Well Adam is involved in this torturous ensemble of practices to try to pass as a real man that involves trying to somehow. Oh it once to to kind of his debate stardom back kind of linguistic combat At once in some kind of keeping with the household values of talk in in an election that come from his psychologist parents but on the other hand it's supposed to be a kind of weaponized speech that can enable him to be tough enough and the masculine culture that that's around him. I make one other Darren and Adam that links them. That's maybe interesting in this regard. Is You know. They're both also in their way kind of poets wits. They're they're they're tellers of tall tales. Who believe in the magical incantatory power of language which is something all children believe in like in a way? If if I just say one place this novel came out of. Its from that that thing. When you're a kid I don't know if you had this when you were a kid? Which is win if you go to like a teacher? Because you've been teased seized mercilessly on the playground. And you say so. and So said this about me. They they would arm you with the spell the sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me. I was always fascinated me. Turn it of which also appears here. I'm rubber you're Google and whatever you say bounces off me and sticks back on you. That's right and those two in a way. Those are the two urban poems in this book because one of the things. That's fascinating about those sayings Is that their very existence. disproves them right. I mean if sticks and stones for the only thing you had to fear. You wouldn't need a week. Spell the cast back against the insults in both Adam and Darren are people who believe in spells. And that's a kind of you know that's that's another kind of childish belief. Leave the capacity of language but as Adam ages he also believes that you know speech acts have material effects like he carries that that into an adulthood and part he can set out with that belief because he s these other avenues of language and writing.
