Podcast appearances and mentions of Aaron Glantz

Last June, President Joe Biden flew to Silicon Valley to tout the massive federal investment in clean energy made possible by the Inflation Reduction Act. For a long time though, women have been largely shut out of clean tech jobs. And an investigation by the nonprofit newsroom The Fuller Project, reported by Kate Gammon, found that last year, women filled just 32% of green energy jobs, up just 1 percentage point since 2008. Marketplace’s Lily Jamali spoke with senior editor Aaron Glantz about The Fuller Project’s sometimes graphic findings.

Nobel Laureate Joseph Stiglitz provides a jumping-off point for the trio to discuss the cozy relationship between government, banks, and private equity that ensured those with money would be winners and those without would have their dreams demolished.Fredrik and Leilani used this episode of PUSHBACK Talks as a wake-up call and a warning: the vultures are likely circling again, with 40 million people in the US who can't pay their rent and nearly 4 million who can't pay their home mortgages.

Lily Jamali is a co-host of the California Report at KQED. The radio show covers a variety of topics about California, including the economy, immigration and education. While at KQED, Lily has covered the utility company PG&E, which announced bankruptcy at the beginning of 2019 after being found responsible for causing wildfires in the state. In May, Lily released an investigation about PG&E's Fire Victim Trust, which was set up to help those affected by fires over the years. Lily found that much of the money was going to overhead costs like paying lawyers, and a very small amount was going to victims. (Lawmakers are now seeking a probe into the trust.) Before joining KQED, Lily was an anchor for Bloomberg Markets in Canada and a reporter and producer for Reuters TV. She's also worked for TV stations in New York and Northern California. Lily is a graduate of UCLA, and she eventually went on to obtain her master's degree in journalism at Colombia, as well as an M.B.A. in finance from NYU. Lily gave shoutouts to Robin Epley, who came onto the podcast in May, Adriene Hill from NPR's California Newsroom and Aaron Glantz, also from NPR. Note: Lily was gracious enough to record her voice while she was in a car during a heatwave! About 20 minutes into the episode, she had to switch recording devices, so you'll hear a noticeable difference in the sound at that point.

May 28, 2021--Frank Hartzell and Kate Maxwell of Mendovoice.com make up the local media round table on this edition of Byline Mendocino. Followed by a damning report about the PG&E Fire Victims' Trust by Lily Jamali of the California Report and KQED news, and Aaron Glantz of NPR's California News Desk, who is working on a fire mapping project to keep people safe this fire season.

Tom Frieden, the former CDC director, joins Christiane Amanpour to explain why a global coronavirus pandemic is inevitable. Michael Higgins, author of "Jean Vanier, Logician of the Heart," reflects on the shocking new revelations that Vanier, once referred to as a "living saint", allegedly abused at least 6 women. He highlights how the Church has a "track record of failure" in preventing the abuse that took place. Aaron Glantz, the award-winning journalist and author of "Homewreckers," sits down with our Hari Sreenivasan to analyze at America's 2008 housing crisis and how a group of Wall Street magnates took advantaged of a rigged system.

Donald Trump has officially ended one of the most important parts of the American experiment by demanding that an independent Department of Justice go easy on one of his buddies. By taking on the judicial powers of convicting and sentencing, Trump has turned our “system of laws, not men“ on its head. This is the sort of thing you see in Erdogan’s Turkey, but never in an advanced democracy. Bill Barr and Donald Trump have committed a complete repudiation of one of the most important of the values and structures that made this country a democratic republic. Four brave federal prosecutors have stood up to this and resigned, but if there is not an overwhelming and systematic response to Trump’s subversion of the American justice system, our republic is at an end. November may be too late.And why aren't Democrats prepared to raise hell over this?Other topics include.. nominating Alexander Vindman for the JFK Profiles in Courage award... Could Bill the Cat's hairballs beat Donald Trump?.. Will many at MSNBC continue to attack Bernie if he gets the nomination?.. And why we can't keep up the circular firing squad.Plus Thom reads from the new book 'The Triumph of the Homewreckers' by Aaron Glantz and from 'Rendezvous with Oblivion' by Thomas Frank.

In 2008, the subprime mortgage crisis cost hundreds of thousands of American families their homes. A small group of predatory lenders ultimately made billions. They include not just some of Donald Trump’s inner circle but members of his presidential cabinet. Peabody-winning investigative reporter Aaron Glantz says it was probably legal. 

Award-winning journalist Aaron Glantz talks about his new book, “Housewreckers,” which explains how Wall Street titans, including President Trump’s treasury secretary, Steven Mnuchin, profited off those who lost their homes. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Some of the people who screwed over American families during the Great Recession of 2008 are still around, and they're lurking in the shadows: they're in President Donald Trump's orbit, and in his cabinet. Steve Mnuchin. Wilbur Ross. These are just two swamp-dwellers who foreclosed on the sick and elderly during a time when millions of jobs were lost in the biggest layoffs since 1945. Now, some of these modern-day robber barons are helping write national housing policies. What does that mean for the American dream? Soon after the crash, Aaron Glantz, a senior reporter for Reveal, started going around San Francisco knocking on doors, meeting people who were falling back on their skyrocketing mortgages and about to give into the banks. He noticed something strange. These homes were being foreclosed on, bought, and sold by the same few people, and they were making a killing. Glantz wrote about it in his recent book "Homewreckers", which was released in October. On this show, he tells host Jamilah King how the swamp creatures from the mortgage crisis are being resuscitated by Trump.

Get the Weekly Reveal newsletter today.

We speak with investigative reporter Aaron Glantz about his new book “Homewreckers,” which looks at the devastating legacy of the foreclosure crisis and how much of the so-called recovery is a result of large private equity firms buying up hundreds of thousands of foreclosed homes. “Homewreckers: How a Gang of Wall Street Kingpins, Hedge Fund Magnates, Crooked Banks, and Vulture Capitalists Suckered Millions Out of Their Homes and Demolished the American Dream” reveals how the 2008 housing crash decimated millions of Americans' family wealth but enriched President Donald Trump's inner circle, including Trump Cabinet members Steven Mnuchin and Wilbur Ross, Trump's longtime friend and confidant Tom Barrack, and billionaire Republican donor Stephen Schwarzman. Glantz writes, “Now, ensconced in power following Trump's election, these capitalists are creating new financial products that threaten to make the wealth transfers of the [housing] bust permanent.” Aaron Glantzis a senior reporter at Reveal from The Center for Investigative Reporting. He was a finalist for a Pulitzer Prize this year for his reporting on modern-day redlining. The post Homewreckers: How Wall Street, Banks & Trump's Inner Circle Used the 2008 Housing Crash to Get Rich appeared first on KPFA.

This week we’re talking about investigating veterans issues, past and present. Here’s the lineup: - Dennis Wagner of the Arizona Republic discusses how he helped break open the most recent scandal involving falsified wait-time data at the Phoenix VA hospital. - Aaron Glantz of the Center for Investigative Reporting talks about benefit backlogs at the Veterans Benefits Administration. - Michael Phillips of the Wall Street Journal walks through his 2013 series “The Lobotomy Files.” Using documents from the National Archive, Phillips was able to document how the U.S. lobotomized approximately 2,000 World War II veterans.

Life after the Iraq War: we profile a Marine Corps veteran and talk to Aaron Glantz about what makes transitioning to civilian life so hard. Also, local musicians Club Foot Orchestra.

Over two million Americans have fought in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. They return to a nation in economic crisis and a third of those veterans come home to face serious medical conditions. Many of those veterans now consider themselves the 99 percent, and have joined a second Occupation, Occupy Wall Street. On this edition, a special report on veterans standing in solidarity with Occupy Wall Street movements and an encore presentation about veterans returning home from war and the struggles they endure produced by Aaron Glantz.

Almost 4,500 American soldiers and more than 100,000 Iraqis have died since the beginning of the Iraq War in 2003. Although President Obama officially declared the end of U.S. combat in August 2010, 50,000 U.S. troops still occupy Iraqi soil and financially it's estimated to cost $750 billion dollars thus far.

Kurds: From Oppressed to Oppressors The Kurds are often called the largest population in the world without a country. 40 million of them live in the mountainous terrain of Turkey, Syria, Iran, and Iraq — and they've lived under oppression in each of those countries for most of the last century. On this edition, correspondent Aaron Glantz takes an in depth look at the six million Kurds in Iraq, their years of suffering under Saddam Hussein's regime, and their drive towards an independent country in the future. – www.radioproject.org The post Making Contact – March 18, 2005 appeared first on KPFA.
