Jim Hanson and Will Chamberlain Talk Government Collusion
"Good buddy, Wilt Chamberlain, who is senior counsel at the Internet accountability project and also part of the article three project. Will, I am having trouble actually keeping up with all the evidence dropping recently about government collusion with the tech tyrants to censor political enemies. I'm stunned, at least we knew it was going on, but the amount of actual proof coming out these days is gobsmacking. Yeah, no, it really is stunning how many different government agencies were in on the sort of misinformation slash disinformation racket. And I mean, yesterday I think there was a Twitter files drop and saw something about how people were proposing, we need to censor truthful speech that might lead people to draw the wrong conclusions. Like straight up, truthful, you know, truthful speech about their reactions or the vaccine, for instance, that just might lead people to think the wrong way. That's totally unacceptable, totally not the way that our government should be working, and yet this is what somehow not only government agencies, but nonprofits and NGOs funded by the State Department and helping human services, all these people are just involved in trying to get Twitter to create a discursive world that they prefer. It's stupid. We need to it's unconstitutional. It's horrifying. Now they obviously

Jim Hanson and Will Chamberlain Are About to Fix the Internet
"And I senior counsel of the Internet accountability project are about to fix online content and all of it. So will we got like 5 minutes? Here we go. I think that there's an opportunity now to break the monopoly to the left has had on our information space because not just a Twitter files, which were anticlimactic, I think, on purpose. I think Elon held a lot back. But there's plenty of evidence and more will come out that the government has been colluding with tech and the left and the media to shut down ideas they want. So I think we're going to have an opportunity to fix that and to change that. So I won't just curious. Aside from now having a free zone in Twitter, what else can we do to try and force the leveling of the playing field? So I think the big change now you want to approach regulation is that before Elon bought Twitter, you kind of wanted to use every single tool at your disposal and whether or not they hurt the companies really badly or didn't provide as much benefit as they could have. It didn't matter. You just a hammer wasn't appropriate tool to deal with the fact that the entirety of big tech was arrayed against the conservative movement. And just take a section two 30 reform, for example, it's kind of a blunt instrument to use against big tech. But now we're in a unique situation where all of a sudden we have one of the big tech companies and not just a big one, maybe perhaps the most societally consequential one in Twitter. You can argue in my view compellingly that everything that appears on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube. It's usually derivative of what happens on Twitter because that's where the sort of public debate has had and resolved before people generate content on those other platforms. So we need to kind of look at regulation a little differently with more of a scalpel than a hammer. And so you're trying to find ways to still go after companies like Facebook and Google. And Instagram and TikTok and companies like that while making sure that Twitter isn't you're not opening up Twitter to severe litigation, which obviously the left would want to do now.

We want to keep the doors open for the gospel.

In fact, I wanted to have Tyson langhart for he's a senior counsel at ADF and director of the center for academic freedom at ADF to talk about to us about something they're working on now. So you get some sense of what these heroes at ADF are doing Tyson Lang hoffer, who is currently in loudoun county, Virginia, welcome to the program. Thanks for having me here. You tell us about the case of Pam Ricard. This is just so classic. I mean, the evils that people are dealing with that parents are having to deal with with schools effectively telling them we can do what we want with your kids. We don't need your permission. I mean, this is as un American as anything imaginable. It's happening now and you guys at ADF are dealing with it. You're fighting the battle. So tell us about the case of Pam Ricard. Yeah, sure.

But on top of that, the school told her that she had to use the legal name and biological pronoun communicating with parents, but yet when the students who use the preferred name and she said, okay, so what you're saying is she had to participate as a teacher. She was being told to deceive the parents. This is what she was being told to do.

"senior counsel" Discussed on Red, Blue, and Brady
"Erin Davis. I am the senior counsel for trial and appellate litigation here at Brady, and I spend my days representing victims of gun violence against the gun industry. I answer that question by saying the gun industry has successfully been legislating evil themselves. They have proactively passed special protections that limit gun violence victims, access to justice. And ensure that these victims are not subject to the same oversight of consumer products that every other industry in America has. For example, the protection of lawful commerce and arms acts makes it much harder for a victim of gun violence to successfully bring a lawsuit and the TR amendment handcuffs ATF from being able to present vital data that would protect the safety of our community publicly. And finally, position number 12, nothing ever gets done. Nothing ever changes. We never pass any legislation. So why should I even bother trying? My name's cordy galligan, and I'm the VP of communications at Brady. And when I'm asked this question, which I am frequently, here's typically how I respond. I understand that people are frustrated. I'm frustrated, but we are seeing momentum here at the federal level, the house has passed a number of bills. Universal background checks, fixing the Charleston loophole, stopping dark money in the political process, which ensures that groups like the NRA aren't buying the votes of our elected officials. They're working to ensure police accountability and undress unnecessary use of force. And at the federal level, we also have some bills that have been passed, protecting voting rights, particularly for communities of color. All of these would go a long way to help prevent gun violence. The problem is with the Senate. We're a few senators are basically holding legislation hostage using the filibuster. Thankfully, there's been some momentum to pass expanded background checks, but if we want more action in the Senate, there are two things that have to be done. One, we need to get rid of the filibuster to we need to vote out elected officials who refuse to take action time and time again. Senators listen to their constituents. So your calls and emails really do make a huge difference. But it's important to recognize that Congress isn't the only way to make it impact on gun violence. We've seen a number of bills signed into law in California, Colorado, Maryland, Nevada, New York, Virginia, and we're working on passing more with grassroots activists every single day..

Please note this podcast contains discussions of violence that some people may find disturbing. It's okay, we find it disturbing too. As I'm sure most of you know by now, the events unfolding in Kenosha Wisconsin are drawing national attention. Essentially, we're living in two Americas, one where intimidation by armed white vigilantes glorified. And we're protesters decrying police violence are vilified. And the other were Black Lives Matter and police violence is gun violence. To talk about what happened in Kenosha and what continues to happen along with what actually is a militia. And what are Wisconsin gun laws? Today I am joined by three fantastic individuals. Now, first, I want to make clear to everyone. This is actually filmed live. I would really recommend that everyone go check out our Brady Facebook page. We end up doing these lives. I would say at this point about once a week. So some of this audio has been edited down for the sake of time and clarity. So for the full uncut version, go check us out by following Brady on Facebook. I want to go ahead and get us started by just introducing some of our phenomenal panelists. I want to start with our Wisconsin expert, anneliese dickman, Anna Lisa, has been a public policy professional for over 25 years focusing on local government issues, important to neighborhoods and families. One of the things that I think is great about annalisa is after the sandy hook massacre, she left her position as the research director of the Midwest oldest think tank and decided to dedicate her skills to reforming gun policy. She joined Brady in 2018 as the program manager for the combating crime des initiative in Milwaukee. Kelly, in addition to her fantastic role as co host on Brady's podcast redwood Brady, she is also senior counsel and director of racial justice at Brady. I think by now we should all know about how fantastic she is..

Will Chamberlain on the Identity of the SCOTUS Leaker
"He is senior counsel for the article three project formerly publisher of Ronald Reagan's favorite newspaper human events will Chamberlain. Welcome in studio. Obviously great to be here with you, sad. Well, now we have the luxury of a little bit longer to discuss. You were in recently because of a very powerful, long thread you published on Twitter on the possible identity of the Supreme Court leaker, an individual who in her past associations and writings is shown quite a radical bent towards a pro abortion. Since we last, let's just do a little update since we last spoke. Anything changed in that analysis is anything countered that I haven't seen anything? No, there hasn't been anything. There's been, I think, Nina totenberg tried to suggest that it was a conservative clerk, but her analysis didn't have any connections to the reporters. It was just speculation about, well, a conservative clerk would have seen the strategic value of doing it this way because it fixes the justices in their positions. Right, because conservatives are the ones who break the rules. That's what conservatives do. Right. And also what conservative clerk is going to subject their own justice to the kind of protests that we've been seeing at their houses. And they know that's coming. Clerks know what the left does, especially in this town. So I just don't see it. I think as my analysis was from the beginning, this is probably the work of a desperate liberal law clerk trying to preserve roe V wade, and then in that threat I showed how this one particular clerk for justice Breyer, Elizabeth deutsch, not only has an extensive record through her career in her academic work of trying to work on pro abortion and reproductive rights causes, and that Josh gerstein, the journalist who published the leak of Politico at Politico, went to her wedding, co wrote, was a shared bylines with her husband.

"A view on it I want to bring in Ariel Fox Johnson now she's the senior counsel for global policy at common sense media Ariel What do you make of that exchange I can't help but agree with senator Markey This beller versions of it have been out for the last decade Companies have had time to come back with real concerns And instead all they keep doing is saying we want to talk We want privacy legislation And they won't actually agree to anything And kids are the ones who are suffering and teens are the ones who are suffering What would this bill actually do And would it be enough to protect kids online This bill would be a huge step forward to protect kids and teenagers online And that's really critical Right now a 13 year old is treated like a 35 year old They don't have any additional protections online in America Except some in California So this bill would ensure that young teens 13 to 15 year olds are protected It would flat out van targeted advertising to children It would establish a digital marketing Bill of rights for teenagers It would establish a youth marketing and privacy division at the Federal Trade Commission who's the enforcer for Kappa and it would ensure that kids and teens are protected on the sites that they're on and that sites couldn't turn a blind eye and pretend like they didn't have young users which we know is how many companies operate right now And many of these companies make the argument that kids are using technology whether we like it or not So someone has to build the experience for them Who should be building those products Do you think it's YouTube or snap or Facebook or Instagram or TikTok or should these be publicly funded projects or something else I think it would be much better if these products and projects were not being done by companies whose business model is profiling children and teens and adults and making money off of advertising and off of data mining it would be better if we could have support for high quality education where the purpose of the product wasn't to collect as much information as possible or to manipulate teens or children into spending more time online Where would that support come from though the government would that be publicly funded some philanthropic donors at the company's band together and funded themselves I think the companies can be a lot more creative than they're being now There are ways to create compelling children's products that do not rely on collecting personal information from them or taking advantage of them or psychologically manipulating them It would also be great if we got additional government funding though I know government funding is a touchy topic now as always And it would be great if we could see other philanthropic support step up but there's so much that companies can do and they don't really have so much money from what they do adults They can do a lot better with kids What do you see as the biggest problem with kids and technology today or problems There are many Yeah it's hard to it's hard to have just one problem We see a lot of inner related problems We see kids who are uniquely vulnerable who are prone to oversharing who don't understand how data collection works on the line And where uniquely susceptible to advertisements So they're then put into this environment where they're profiled by companies they're targeted with unique ads and messages that are specifically tailored to them and their vulnerabilities So you're a teen girl wondering about dieting you're going to be pushed extreme dieting content You're a teen boy maybe you're going to go down some radicalization rabbit hole because they think that'll make you keep looking longer There's concerns about popularity and seeing how many of your peers get more likes than you There's concerns about unrealistic body image concerns about unwanted spending because they don't realize things are advertisement There's a whole host of issues and problems that are facing teens and children online these days As a mom it is terrifying And also I know that so many parents feel like they've lost the war They've surrendered already Surrendered already and especially after the pandemic when technology was to be fair necessary to keep our children connected to the world What is your advice to parents in this moment right now as you know schools are reopening the world is reopening How do we restart good habits Do we take everything away Is it just some in moderation What do we do Sure And as a mom I struggled with that myself and sometimes my kid was on her tablet while I was doing work talking about the concerns and risk of technology I think as parents it's really important that you talk to your kids that you see what they're doing online that they feel comfortable talking to you about what apps are using who they might be communicating with You need to keep those lines of communication open because you can't trust the companies It's also critical for parents as center murky and bloom fall said today to speak up Tell your representatives if you don't like what's going on because now is the moment that we could

"Right along the broadcast everyone we've got senior counsel and Economos with us. Our senior adviser, national security and, of course, international affairs. Rick Cornell is with US former ambassador to Germany and former Deanna director of National intelligence I wanted we've been talking about the P P p situation and the lack of it in the Democratic plan. Rick, you're in California. I want to stay on this for a few minutes here here in California, and I know businesses have been hurting. Another is a recall on the governor. Can you tell us what it's like out there Right now? Business wise and just community wise. Our businesses are shut down our restaurants you can on Lee be open. Outside. Gyms are closed. Churches are closed, but people are pushing the envelope to try to meet its really outrageous with just the total shutdown. On top of that, you know, Gavin Newsom has originally shut down our beaches. There was such a pushback on that just say that's not part of the science. That certainly is not backed up by science. And so he backed away from that Our schools are still closed. The vaccine rollout is then atrocious. You've got wealthy people getting the vaccine well. Cancer hospitals in Los Angeles go without You know, the rollout on the vaccine has been pretty difficult everywhere and it's including where our studios are based on mean I mean, the way it's set up is also absurd. So it's 75 over makes sense. Then it's the next group of 60 people When they hear it's 70 and over. Then it's 65 men over then the next group which shaman is 16 to 64, I'm 64. So I'm lumped in with the 16 year old. I mean, think about this for a moment. So hopefully that's going to change because it is having a dramatic and distinct impact on businesses. I want to take a call from Paul, who's calling from Missouri. I believe online one. Paul, Go ahead. You're on the air. Yes, sir. Okay up. I got Excuse me P p p money back in march of last year. It meant really the difference between us going out of business and staying in once we got that money was able to sustain us through time. When we were told, you know that we couldn't work because the quarantine people were shut down, so it actually sustained us. We had to rehire some of the people left. But then we actually have had the best year we've had in a very long time and most construction people. Unfortunately, I know the restaurant business and everything's been hurt. But most construction people are very, very busy. One of the reasons is is that we were helped in the early days s. Oi, Listen, Paul, I appreciate that, and I think that's part of my my main concern with the Democratic proposal here. Andy is the lack of P P p. That is the payroll protection so that employees do not have to be let go and then come back on. That is my biggest concern. I think that besides the 16, or whatever billion dollars are going to people that are not here legally. I think that that is a real problem. P. I know from personal experience of a small executive limousine service that I'm aware of the I know the owner of it, and he's got a small group of employees and he was dying. I mean, was literally dying, and the p p p under President Trump came through and help them through the difficult times in 2020, But the Democrats do not seem to learn from the past. They're not historians. They're not students of history, and they don't understand that history. Repeats itself. If you use that program. If you had that program, you would be able to have payroll protection and you weren't able to be able to have employees of small business is continuing to work without that, And it's not in the plan that is before the Congress. Now you don't have that that protection that rope that's hanging there to help people grasp onto Rick really quick like 40 seconds quick and then the Greek call on the governor. What's this is that for real? It's for real. If you live in California, you should sign the petition. Go to recall Gavin 2020 dot com. It's about 1.4 million signatures. Now we need to verify those so that will drop. We need 1.5. But again, verification is gonna take Some of those numbers away..

"Washington Examiner they published now this is an opinion column. So this was on their op ed page. How to fix our domestic terrorist problem Now this is written by a fellows. Name. Name Kevin Peril. Who says here that he worked at as CIA, an army officer in Iraq and Afghanistan. Counts of the secretary of homeland security. You know this? This guy is trying to wave around these credentials, so you'll think But he's not a moron. But I can tell you from reading his editorial. He's a moron. I don't care where he worked. I don't care where he served. I don't care what he did. He's not smart, not smart, and as I've been telling you all along. I mean, there's the CIA brand is is effectively nicely. It's been turned into a big joke. Ms. Siya is Is now laughable. How could it not be? You got people like John Brennan running the place? So you think that showing up on Dwork of the CIA is gonna impress anybody? Let me tell you, I know first hand it does not. Nobody cares anymore. But here's what this guy says. I mean, it's some of it is is pretty standard. This got a lot of attention, though, because of just how crazy it is, and that there's somebody who's clearly an institutionalist who's waving around his resume. Listen to me. I'm smart, and I love my country and I worked hard and I did all these things. Just But that doesn't change the fact that the ideas they're crazy. Right there. Plenty of people who Have a have the things on the resume that we're all supposed to believe, somehow makes them Worth listening to, But that's not the case. I think we've all sort of figured that out. Now, more than ever. These institutions that turn people out they don't really mean anything are a lot of reasons. They hire people. A lot of reasons they fire people. A lot of A lot of stuff that goes into it that has nothing to do with merit. And here we go. First he rides bring the heaviest felony charge on his many participants in the insurrection, the insurrection. Of course, that's not an insurrection, you jackass. I and believe it can conflict convict We ruthlessly hunted down foreign terrorist after September 11th and must do the same to their domestic equivalence. This guy's straight up comparing People on Capitol Hill on January 6 to al Qaida terrorists who deploy suicide bombers into crowded markets who drive planes full of civilians in the building's full of civilians and kill thousands of people in one day. This. This is what we This is now what with the intellectual class, supposedly The intellectual class presents to you. For what? How we're supposed to view what happened on January 6th. And I know you could say, But this is crazy. Who would really believe this? Democrats, whether they believe it or not, they're pretending that it's accurate. They're going to go forward and use this as a justification, which is what I told people assume is this thing was happening? I said, this is a nightmare. And I had some very dumb conservatives come after me on that day, and so you don't understand how important it is that we speak out. No, no, no, no. Now you see with the Kevin Carrolls of the world with the barbed wire all over D. C. With the fencing up with the thousands of soldiers. You see how Democrats are exploiting a riot of idiocy. And now they're targeting you. They're targeting everybody. You step in a line. You get fired from your job. You say the wrong thing on social media. You get banned forever. You start talking to people about how you think there was fraud, or you think there whatever it may be. No. They want to sic the FBI on you.

That's for sure. But could we have normalcy? The answer is no. We can't have normalcy either. Second, this guy, writes Kevin Carr.

"The legal issues. Jim, I don't want to get your view on whether we're discussing this the right way. We have to have this conversation. Everyone is over the last week Has them versus them. The institutions versus retail. Jim, Don't you think it's kind of naive to believe that there are institutional traders on the red eight boards doing exactly the same thing, squeezing out the big shorts? I totally agree. I totally agree. I think that is it's probably happening. Maura's is the price of moves. I come back to John, that whoever's doing it. I think this is market manipulation. I think it's a dis table izing force. And you don't think about the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve in this country spent most of last year a great bulk of the year. Reestablishing functionality, liquidity in stabilization to the financial markets. That was a big part of what they did all year long and now We're allowing something that's destabilizing the financial markets and setting up the situation to harm a number of of investors whether they're big or small down the road. And I think it's sort of hypocritical to do what we did last year to try to stabilize the financial markets to save the economy and assistant and allowing this to go on. Unless that's where I'm at. I can't. I'm still understanding a lot of this due to play Devil's advocate. People would say the Federal Reserve Perhaps stabilized the market for the people in the market, which includes the big Wall Street players and the wealthiest individuals. And that seems to be the tone that the tone the trope among a lot of these Robin Hood investors. I mean, what do you say to people who say that Wall Street has lost the moral high ground here, based on the idea that there has been a sort of rejiggering in terms of the fundamentals and the price action based on what policy has done? Well, I'm not sure Wall Street's ever had the high moral ground, you know, but he's touched the imagination. But I gotta tell you if we you go back to any crisis we've had and if you don't reestablish Functioning Wall Street and stability. It's disastrous for the economy. And so you know, they're the result of that is if you if you don't do that. I think the Federal Reserve would say that to Lisa that if you don't risk establish off functioning Wall Street, it will be disastrous for the economy, which means it'll be disastrous for everyone. So when you say, Wall Street, you save the economy there, they're not a separate deal. I think that's important toe understand. I think one great thing that's coming out of the ready situation. Here, which is a wonderful thing for the future is that we're and enticing mortem or young investors at a younger age millennials rather waiting to four year 50 to start to learn to invest in the markets and getting involved in the marketplace. I think that's a huge success. It will be very beneficial down the road in terms of general wealth creation in terms of greater liquid markets, overtime and greater participation by more. But I'll tell you what if we damage everybody while they're just starting toe get involved with this that will set that trend back. It's quite a catch up. So, Jim posting that sure of yourself waiting always too short with Jim. Jim. Thank you, sir. Thanks. For some. There is an argument that some people might make this could eight price discovery, particularly short side. It's going to force people to put a whole lot more to put in that trade on totally totally agree. I mean, you know, folks, what you're seeing here on radio and television today, and this is one the way we built the show. If you're seeing three different opinions out there, much like we have all these different opinions out and Global Wall Street in the greater society. I want to say that I was representing Devil's advocate view and honestly, I want to just say, I don't know where I weigh in on all of this. I just personally want to represent some of the arguments that are out there. They're really questioning what policy has done and questioning price discovery in actuality and the connection to fundamentals and price action we've seen so far this I'm in the Camp John, where it's less a social Event. Granted it is I take the point. Alex Webb was brilliant. And this is much more and all American short squeeze based off the timer and greed. That's all of this. I'm in a camp. It Stand money. If they want to lose it. They want to lose it. They want to put at rest. Let them on. That applies to both sides. That's right away. I could give you a lineup of time keen losers.

Much more like the Reagan years much more like that. But I mean, it's been decades since we asserted ourself. It said, You're you could come along if you like, but we don't need you. You know, so we're gonna go ahead. We don't have to solve the Palestinian issue to make peace in the Middle East, But these other countries, we don't need to solve the past city issue to isolate Iran. Add to take out their head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard to cut off the head of Isis without Baghdadi on did you know? Look at what happened in places like Sudan. Which were aware of sounded large was his 1st 1st safe haven. And the people rose up. They overthrew Bashir Now what now? They made also a peace deal. You know, with Israel.

Lack of Accountability for Police Violence is Solvable
"This is solvable. I'm Jacob Weisberg. There is a lack of accountability for police, violence and one part of. Solving that is to give federal prosecutors more tools, so they can actually prosecute this cases. Approximately a thousand people killed during police encounters in the United States every year. And in fact, that number is held steady for nearly twenty years. Around half of those killed or white. Black Americans are more than twice as likely to die at the hands of police. They are killed disproportionately to their overall representation in the population. I'm thinking about. Say The shooting of Philander Castille. CAPLESS Tamir Rice twelve year, old boy, who was shot and killed by an officer when playing in a park in Cleveland. How do we achieve racial justice while protecting public safety? Lawyer Cheer Baynes believes the federal. Government has a key role to play. What exactly would you like to see? Happen there for Congress to lower the intense standard from willfulness recklessness, so that it would be a federal crime recklessly deprive someone of their rights under color of law to recklessly use excessive force for all the Americans who died during police encounters in less than two percent of cases, does an officer end up being charged with a crime? When you were at Doj how many times did specific language of willful thwart possible prosecution of of an officer? You think you felt a done something wrong. Routinely, that was the biggest barrier. It was always the central concern. Kira. Who's devoted his career to ending impunity for officers who commit crimes against citizens thinks we can fix this. The problem of lack of accountability for police violence is solvable. Cheering Baines is the director of Legal Strategies de Moth a racial justice organization before that he worked at the US Department of Justice, serving a senior counsel to the head the civil. Rights Division, that's the division that investigated. Ferguson Missouri and sued the city for unconstitutional policing and court practices. Baynes Co wrote the Ferguson report. Malcolm Bradwell spoke to Baynes about what needs to be done to solve the persistent problem of police impunity at the national level. To critical components are lowering the intense standard for the federal government to prosecute active excessive force criminally and using federal consent decrees to address systemic misconduct. You've been working on this question of how to make police better for quite some time right? Yes, actually. It's been an issue that's been. An issue that I've been distressed by want to do something about since I was a young kid. Actually the Rodney King case happened in the beating of Rodney King. One thousand, nine, hundred, one I was ten years old, and there are a lot of high profile incidents in the hundred ninety s with I'm dirty, yellow Louima and many other high profile cases of police violence police killings. Finish cared about as a high schooler for sure I can remember that were you in high school Chelmsford High School? It's a small town in Massachusetts next to the city of Lowell, maybe about thirty thousand thirty five thousand people. It wasn't like you were. LIVING IN LA or living in the Bronx where Ahmadou was shot, it was you were these were instance miles away. That nonetheless caught your attention. Absolutely these are national stories and I was very interested in. Civil Rights history even civil rights law. The role of lawyers in the civil rights movement. I think maybe juxtaposed that history and the principles underlying that movement with what I was seeing. Play out in terms of police violence in the country. At that time, and actually can remember. An organization called the stolen lives project that would collect information about the people who have been killed by police, disproportionately young black man. That is something that I recall, so. It's something I've. been working on for a long time ended up working on that some more in law school, focusing on it, and then it on my first job after clerking for a federal judge was to actually prosecute police misconduct cases including police violence. How early on you decide that? You wanted to become a lawyer depressingly early? Han actually I think I thought in high school. That would become a lawyer. What did you think of that decision? Well I'm an Indian kid and the child immigrants and so. I think a lot of people in that boat might relate. My mother wanted me to be a doctor. That would million other Indian children. Yeah Yeah. It's a common refrain and. Short of being a doctor, a lawyer was pretty good, so. But you know my family wasn't focused on these issues. These weren't the issues that they confronted him and they cared about it. In the sense research, generally aware my grandmother used to describe all this work as a community service or volunteer work and I'd have to actually get paid to do this job.

A Lawsuit Seeks The Removal Of The Directors For Park Service And BLM
"A lawsuit filed today seeks the removal of the controversial acting directors for two federal agencies. The agencies are in charge of millions of acres of public land energy development and the country's national parks. Npr's Kirk siegler reports the National Park Service and the Bureau of Land Management Have Not had permanent Senate confirmed directors for the entire trump presidency. That's a violation of the Constitution which requires Senate oversight of these key positions according to a lawsuit filed by to Washington DC and Idaho based conservation groups. And they're just a freewheeling detouring around the constitution in allowing these lower level political appointees to be running a show Peter Jenkins is senior counsel for Public Employees Environmental Responsibility the overall pattern is to weaken the environmental bureaus and allow state interests in private extractive industry interest particularly in the case of Bureau land-management to be able to call the shots. This lawsuit is the latest to shine light on the trump administration's unprecedented use of acting agency. Heads but the group's suing have long been suspicious of William Perry pen-li in particular leading the B. M. His temporary appointment has been extended now five times since taking over the agency last summer. Penalty once advocated for transferring ownership of the very public lands. He now manages over two states and private interests but in a recent interview. Pen-li told me that is not part of president trump's agenda regardless of what I've said in the past the one thing is clear is I'm a marine. I understand how to follow. Orders follow orders in this case in a statement the trump administration called the lawsuit that seeks to oust penalty and David Vella the park service. Baseless and a distraction as the park service in particular is trying to safely reopen national parks during the corona virus. Pandemic Kirk Siegler. Npr News Boise.

California - A Push To Get More Women On Corporate Boards Gains Momentum
"When Silicon Valley based desktop technologies invited. Susan Udaya Kumar to join. Its all male board. Last year. She had no idea. California had just passed a gender quota. She says she and ADESCO were a perfect fit. The board south is very welcoming and they wanted a different perspective on the board. She's a CEO in Canada with a background in the Internet of things or Iot. Which means things like? You're smart speaker or your Internet connected. Doorbell. A have the IOT experience. That background is there from you so. I'm actually being asked to give my voice quite a bit lately. A lot of accomplished female executives have gotten similar calls out of seventy five major California companies. That had no female board members. Two thirds of them. Now have at least one and now other states Massachusetts Washington and New Jersey are introducing similar legislation. Shannon Gordon is the CEO of the Board List. A database that companies can search to find female candidates we saw an increase in the number searches overall. And so I think it was kind of this halo effect because the topic has been discussed so much more in the last year or two companies are gonNA coming around to to the value. Ulster versity on forests. Multiple studies have shown companies with female directors are more profitable in January. Goldman Sachs CEO. David Solomon turned heads when he told. Cnbc would stop taking companies public unless they have at least one diverse board member. I look back at. Ipo's over the last four years and the performance of IPO's where there's been a woman on the board in the US is significantly better than the performance of IPO's where there hasn't been a woman on the board and his announcement. Salomon cited his experience with his own Board. Goldman Sachs with four women out of eleven. We have a black director at. I really value the diverse perspectives. I'm getting which helping me run. The company to California law hits companies. That don't have a female board member with one hundred thousand dollar fine. Critics have lodged a handful of lawsuits claiming that's discriminatory and unconstitutional anesthesia. Boden is senior counsel at the Pacific Legal Foundation which is suing on behalf of a male shareholder in California. The law suits the fourteenth amendment's promise of equal treatment before the law and it actually forces people to make decisions on the basis of sex but some female board members say companies. Need strong nudge like California's law to change business as usual former dupont. Eeo Ellen Coleman is one of the four women on the Goldman Sachs Board. She says companies have long chosen board members based on their network of friends and acquaintances match. Where I think. The history has led to mostly male boards. 'cause if it's word of mouth and you ask them in historically if given a lot of names of other men. Komen now serves on four. Boards is doing something to crack the old boys club. I'm not taking on any more boards. I've got plenty but if people come to me with opportunities I WANNA be able to point to four five six different women that would be phenomenal for their board. Depending on what they're looking for and many California companies could probably use the help. The State Law is now pushing companies to go beyond having just one woman on a board by the end of next year the quota increases and so will the fine
