Happy Monday! Sam & Emma speak with author and historian William Hogeland, proprietor of the “Hogeland's Bad History” newsletter on SubStack, to discuss his recent book The Hamilton Scheme: An Epic Tale of Money and Power in the American Founding. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on México's election of Claudia Sheinbaum, Israel's rejection of what was supposedly their own peace proposal as they blast through Biden's Rafah red line, Hunter Biden's legal woes, Bibi's joint congressional address, reactions to Trump's conviction, Fauci's testimony, the Affordable Connectivity Program, climate change, the IRS' free tax-filing service, and Dinesh D'Souza's publisher issues an apology for publishing Dinesh D'Souza, before diving into Biden's absurd claim that Israel was the one pushing the ongoing peace negotiations with Hamas, and how Israel's offensive is likely to continue as Biden's “red lines” shift ever backward. William Hogeland then joins, first reflecting on the introduction of Alexander Hamilton into popular culture with the recent musical phenomena, and how that provides the opportunity to present a more three-dimensional view of Hamilton's political philosophy and impact. Now, Hogeland steps back to the inception of the US, and the central role Hamilton played in establishing a financial system that centered on the use of national debt to leverage the economic ambitions of the capitalist class in favor of a nationalist project by allowing them massive ownership stakes, while additionally reinforcing the elitist and anti-democratic makeup of the political class that Hamilton desired. After expanding on Hamilton's relationship to the US Constitution, including unpacking the relatively subdued role that the Federalist Papers played in the actual ratification, Hogeland walks Sam and Emma through the backlashed faced by the US Federal government due to Hamilton's wildly anti-democratic financial scheme, looking to both Shays' Rebellion in 1786 and the Whiskey Rebellion in 1791 as clear cut examples of a coherent dissent and attack on Hamilton's system of debt and regressive taxation, demanding follow through on the demand of “no taxation without representation” that Americans had fought for, also briefly touching on the greater makeup of this pro-democracy labor movement led by folks with Herman Husband and Thomas Payne. Next, Hogeland looks back to the enemies Hamilton had inside of the US political structures, from State Sovereigntists during the framing of the Constitution, to the Jeffersonian attempts to undermine and overturn his financial system throughout the start of the 19th Century, before wrapping up with the redemption of Hamilton's legacy over the last few decades, and the particular role his thought played in the US' response to the 2008 Financial crisis. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch an American nurse reflect on the harrowing experience of treating burn victims in Rafah, and discuss the myriad resignations-in-protests by Biden State Department officials, with the most recent accusing the agency of actively lying about Israel's role in blocking aid to Gaza. They also dive into the incredible aftermath of the conviction of Donald Trump, with everyone from the Donald on Fox & Friends, Maria Bartiromo, Benny Johnson, and Megyn Kelly pondering the backlash from a potential GOP regime.

In this episode of the B4DE Podcast, Chris talks with Abraham Camez, a digital navigator at Hoopa Valley's Acorn Wireless ISP, about the impact of the Affordable Connectivity Program's end.

Back in the pandemic depths of December 2020, when so many Americans were working, learning and performing essential daily tasks online, the Federal Communications Commission launched an emergency program to help low-income people connect to high-speed internet with a $50-per-month subsidy. That was extended with the Affordable Connectivity Program, which has provided $30 a month for internet service. An estimated 23 million households currently get the subsidy. But they won’t for much longer. Efforts to renew funding for the ACP have stalled in Congress and are expected to run out by the end of the month. Marketplace's Meghan McCarty Carino spoke to Kelcee Griffis of Tech Brew about her reporting on the ACP and the people who rely on it.

Today marks the end of the Affordable Connectivity Program, and Congress has yet to intervene. The critical federal initiative launched to support low-income Americans offers significant monthly discounts on high-speed internet -- $30 for most and $75 in tribal areas. In just over two years, it's been a digital lifeline for 23 million households with a notable impact on military families and communities of color. Black households, in particular, have relied heavily on these subsidies for access to essential services such as homework support, virtual health care, and employment training. These benefits extend through various community and national programs like Connected Nation, which have been instrumental in promoting digital literacy and connectivity, especially in underserved rural areas. With the program's closure, these communities stand at a precipice, potentially facing higher costs that could force tough choices between internet access and basic needs.

It's a Casual Friday all calls and all clips edition! Sam, Emma and the MR Crew break down the biggest stories of the week. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on the opening of the Erez crossing for aid to Gaza, the US economy, Biden's student debt relief, Trump v. Tish James, and immigration policy, before parsing through More Perfect Union's leaks about major union-busting practices at Mercedes' Alabama plant ahead of a major UAW unionization vote. Next, Sam and Emma look at the recent evolutions in US policy toward Israel's genocide in Gaza, with Blinken revealing that Biden HAS, in fact, had the leverage to force Netanyahu and Israel's hand with aid, as well as using the phrase “immediate ceasefire” (whatever that means to them), before tackling the recent report on Israel's AI-facilitated “Where's Daddy?” program used to target the spouses and children of their military targets, and watching Senator Coons come forward on conditioning aid to Israel. They also talk with Rick from San Francisco about the Affordable Connectivity Program, Scott from Monterey absolutely dismantles Sam's anti-libertarian hypothetical, and Gary explores the concept of a 2024 Kamala Harris candidacy. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma discuss Crowder's potential unfair labor practices case, Nancy Mace beefs with Maria Bartiromo over Kevin McCarthy, and Rosanne Barr offers some quick wisdom for young women (it's just blood libel). Bro Flamingo questions the reappearance of Hillary ahead of the 2024 elections, Dave from Haverhill blue-balls Sam, and Lara Trump offers up some sweet MyPillow talk. RFK defends his spoiler candidacy, PBD and co. have a pitch for Candace Owens, and Ronald Raygun puts on his rose-colored glasses for MR's 20th anniversary, plus, your calls and IMs!

Wisconsin is still a patchwork quilt of have's and have-nots when it comes to broadband internet technology. There are several parts of Wisconsin, especially rural areas in northern parts of the state, that have inadequate internet or no access to high-speed internet at all. Wisconsin needs to do a much better job of creating a stronger broadband infrastructure. The Internet is not a luxury. It's a necessary utility in today's society, just like heat and electricity. Without a strong internet, people will leave Wisconsin for other states. Leslie Spencer-Herrara is part of a committee looking at high-speed internet. She speaks with Pam Jahnke about about problems and solutions, and also the Affordable Connectivity Program, which offers internet for $30 a month for those who can't afford it. The program will run out of money soon unless Congress takes action. She explains why this is important.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This Day in Legal History: Biological Weapons Convention Goes into Force This day in legal history, March 26, 1975, marked a seminal moment in the global effort to curtail the proliferation of some of the most dangerous weapons known to humanity. The Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production and Stockpiling of Bacteriological (Biological) and Toxin Weapons and on their Destruction, more commonly known as the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC), officially went into force. This landmark treaty represented the first multilateral disarmament agreement banning an entire category of weapons of mass destruction. As of today, 162 countries have joined the Convention, committing themselves to a world free of biological threats by agreeing never to "develop, produce, stockpile or otherwise acquire or retain" biological weapons.The Convention not only prohibits the development and stockpiling of biological and toxin weapons but also mandates the destruction of any existing stockpiles, thereby setting a precedent for future disarmament treaties. Despite the widespread support, some signatory nations have maintained the right to possess certain biological agents and toxins for "prophylactic" purposes, a stipulation that underscores the complexities involved in the treaty's implementation and verification.Over the years, the BWC has faced challenges, including accusations of non-compliance and the difficulty of ensuring verification without an official monitoring body. Nonetheless, the Convention remains a critical component of the international security architecture, reflecting the global consensus against the use of disease as a weapon. On this anniversary, the international community continues to grapple with evolving threats in the realm of biological warfare, making the principles enshrined in the BWC as relevant as ever. As we reflect on the progress made since 1975, the ongoing commitment of signatory nations to the Convention's objectives is crucial for addressing contemporary and future biosecurity challenges.Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, has been granted a temporary reprieve from extradition to the United States by London's High Court. This decision came after the court required the U.S. to assure that Assange would not face the death penalty if extradited. Assange is wanted in the U.S. on 18 counts, primarily under the Espionage Act, related to WikiLeaks' publication of confidential military and diplomatic documents. His legal battle in English courts has spanned over 13 years, with his lawyers recently challenging the UK's approval of his extradition. The High Court ruled that Assange could have a successful appeal based on several grounds, including the risk of being charged with a capital offense like treason in the future, despite current charges not carrying the death penalty.The court highlighted concerns, notably a past comment by former U.S. President Donald Trump suggesting the death penalty for WikiLeaks' activities, as indicative of the potential risks Assange faces. As a result, the U.S. has been given until April 16 to provide the necessary assurances, delaying Assange's extradition and scheduling a further hearing for May 20. Stella Assange, Julian's wife, praised the decision, calling for the Biden administration to drop the case altogether, which she deemed "shameful." While the court rejected Assange's appeal on claims of political motivation and unfair trial fears, his supporters continue to view him as a journalistic figure persecuted for exposing U.S. misconduct, despite U.S. authorities arguing his actions endangered lives by recklessly publishing sensitive information.Julian Assange wins temporary reprieve from extradition to US | ReutersRepublican donors rallied behind former U.S. President and presidential candidate Donald Trump to aid in funding the bond required for a $454 million civil fraud judgment against him. Before securing a reduction in the bond amount to $175 million, Trump faced the challenge of raising the full amount to avoid the seizure of his properties. Among the benefactors were billionaire hedge fund founder John Paulson and oil magnate Harold Hamm, although their exact contributions and the total amount raised were not disclosed. Also not disclosed, what they hoped to receive in return for bailing out the former president. Trump's legal battle centers on accusations of fraudulently inflating his net worth to obtain better terms for loans and insurance. Despite claims from Trump's campaign that there was no coordinated fundraising effort and assertions of possessing sufficient funds to cover the judgment, reports surfaced of significant offers from donors, including one who proposed over $10 million towards the bond. Following a court decision allowing for a smaller bond, Trump confirmed his capability to meet the requirement promptly, emphasizing his readiness to post the necessary cash, bonds, or securities.This situation underscores Trump's enduring support among wealthy allies as he navigates financial pressures from legal judgments and campaign expenses ahead of the November presidential election against Democrat Joe Biden. Notably, both Paulson and Hamm are actively involved in fundraising efforts for Trump's campaign, highlighting the complex role of big-money contributions in the political landscape. Additionally, Trump has hinted at considering Paulson for the Treasury Secretary position if reelected.The saga of funding Trump's bond raises questions about transparency and the potential for scrutiny from election regulators or federal prosecutors, given the limits on campaign contributions and the broad definition of political donations. The difficulty in securing a surety company for the original bond and the implications of asset seizure by the New York Attorney General add layers of complexity to Trump's ongoing legal and financial challenges.Billionaires sought to help fund Trump bond in civil fraud case, sources say | ReutersAndreas Bechtolsheim, the founder and former chairman of Arista Networks, has settled insider trading charges with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) by agreeing to pay a civil penalty of nearly $1 million. The settlement, which Bechtolsheim has entered without either admitting or denying the SEC's allegations, also includes a significant restriction on his future professional engagements. Specifically, Bechtolsheim will be barred from serving as an officer or director of any public company for the next five years, as detailed in the SEC's official statement. This resolution addresses the SEC's concerns regarding Bechtolsheim's conduct related to insider trading, marking the conclusion of the regulatory scrutiny he faced. The underlying alleged misconduct involved trading on Cisco's offer to purchase Acacia Communications in 2019. The agreement underscores the SEC's continued efforts to enforce securities laws and maintain fair trading practices within the U.S. financial markets.Former Arista Networks chairman settles insider trading charges, US SEC says | ReutersSun Founder Bechtolsheim Insider-Traded on Tech Deal, SEC Claims - BloombergIn my column this week, I delve into the expanding landscape of digital government services and the imperative it places on the government to ensure universal broadband access, particularly for individuals with lower income.The IRS Direct File pilot program represents a significant step towards offering a free, government-run electronic filing system to the public, aiming to address the long-standing demand fueled by the limitations and costs associated with for-profit tax preparation software. This initiative, however, faces considerable hurdles, notably in ensuring equitable broadband access, especially in rural areas, and the widespread availability of internet-capable devices. It also highlights the critical role of public libraries and their staff in facilitating access to digital tax services, underpinning the broader challenge of digital inclusivity and equity.As the success of Direct File is contingent upon robust and equitable internet access, the urgency to bridge the digital divide is accentuated, with a particular emphasis on innovative solutions and increased funding to enhance broadband connectivity. This includes exploring short-term alternatives such as subsidized satellite internet and bolstering public library resources to serve as pivotal access points for digital tax services.Despite nearly universal ownership of computers or smartphones in U.S. homes, disparities persist in broadband access across different demographic and regional groups, with a notable divide along age and racial lines, as well as significant gaps in rural areas and on American Tribal lands. These disparities underscore the challenges some individuals may face in accessing the Direct File portal, despite its mobile-friendly design.Further, the expiration and depletion of funding for the Affordable Connectivity Program in the coming months may kick as many as 23 million households offline–these households, as you might imagine, trend towards lower income. The very groups for which Direct File can provide the most benefit. In light of this, the importance of public libraries as access points for the internet and tax assistance cannot be overstated, with the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program poised to play a crucial role in expanding Direct File's reach. However, the reliance on library resources and staff underscores the need for targeted training and increased support for VITA volunteers, ensuring they are equipped to assist taxpayers with Direct File and other digital government services.Looking ahead, the expansion of government digital services, like Direct File, highlights the necessity of not only making these services accessible but ensuring equitable internet access to prevent digital exclusion. As the government moves more services online, it is imperative to address the digital divide and ensure that all individuals, regardless of their socioeconomic status or geographic location, can benefit from these advancements.IRS Direct File Should Ignite Push for Universal Internet Access Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe
