Ralph welcomes Pulitzer Prize winning reporter, Gretchen Morgenson, co-author of “These Are the Plunderers: How Private Equity Runs – And Wrecks – America,” where they name names in this “heads we win, tails you lose” system of predatory capitalism.Gretchen Morgenson is the senior financial reporter for the NBC News Investigative Unit. A former stockbroker, she won the Pulitzer Prize in 2002 for her “trenchant and incisive” reporting on Wall Street. Previously at the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal,” she and coauthor Joshua Rosner wrote the bestseller Reckless Endangerment: How Outsized Ambition, Greed, and Corruption Led to Economic Armageddon about the mortgage crisis. Their latest book is These Are the Plunderers: How Private Equity Runs—and Wrecks—America.The way corporate criminals get their way is by trying to make things too complex and too abstract for your daily lives. But when Gretchen [Morgenson] talks about these plunderers, and let's call them “predatory capitalists”, don't think that you're not being affected— whether your loved ones are patients in nursing homes, whether you're workers being laid off, whether you're consumers being gouged for drug or healthcare prices, whether your community's going to be hollowed out because the company that was doing okay was taken over by these vultures and closed down after they extracted the wealth.Ralph NaderIt's interesting now that David Rubenstein is retired [from the Carlyle Group], he's a philanthropist. This is what these wealthy people do once they've finished their careers and made so much money. They become philanthropists… We've all read about David Rubenstein and Steve Schwarzman and Leon Black and Henry Kravis. We read about them constantly. They are always lauded for their brilliance and their billionaire status. What we just don't hear about are the people on the other side of their transactions.Gretchen Morgenson, co-author of “These Are The Plunderers.”The disappointing thing about the Justice Department is that when they bring these cases against the companies that are doing Medicare fraud (like in the Manor Care situation), they don't move up the corporate ladder to the owner of the company. The Justice Department does the work on the particular company that is owned by private equity, but they don't go up the ladder. And that has a way of allowing the firms—like Carlyle in the Manor Care case— to escape scrutiny and to escape accountability. So that would be an ideal thing to change.Gretchen Morgenson co-author of “These Are The Plunderers.”In Case You Haven't Heard 1. Amid the debt limit fight, progressives are calling for President Biden to invoke the 14th amendment, which they believe would allow Biden to bypass the Republican House and raise the debt limit without concessions like adding further work requirements to public benefits. In a press conference by the Senate progressives, John Fetterman of Pennsylvania said "This is the whole reason why the 14th Amendment exists, & we need to be prepared to use it. And, if our unelected Supreme Court Justices try to block the use of the 14th amendment and blow up our economy, that's on them.” However, POLITICO reports that the administration is privately telling progressives to stand down. Instead, the White House seems more interested in negotiating with Speaker McCarthy, even if that means caving to outrageous Republican demands.2. As the Writers Guild strike grinds on – at a cost of $30 million per day according to Deadline – the  Screen Actors Guild is now on the verge of their own strike. Last week, SAG-AFTRA's National Board voted unanimously to ask members for strike authorization, and the Daily Beast reported that SAG-AFTRA president Fran Drescher urged members to “make three a charm with an emphatic ‘yes' for a strike authorization vote!” adding that to do so would be “an unprecedented show of solidarity.” An actor's strike against the studios has not happened since 1980.3. Last week, Senator Bernie Sanders introduced the Healthy Families Act of 2023, which would guarantee 12 weeks of paid family and medical leave. This bill features a companion in the House, led by Rep. Rosa DeLauro, and carries the support of 122 members of the House and Senate. Sanders is quoted saying “It is time to end this absurdity...It is time Congress passed this legislation to ensure workers receive the basic dignity and benefits that they deserve.” The introduction of this legislation comes on the heels of the reintroduction of a Medicare for All bill in this Congress.4. A damning new report in the Wall Street Journal indicates that “Jeffrey Epstein discovered that Bill Gates had an affair with a Russian bridge player” and later used this knowledge to attempt to threaten the Microsoft co-founder. The report goes on to say that “at the time, Epstein was trying to set up a multibillion-dollar charitable fund with JPMorgan...[which] hinged on securing support from Gates.” When this money was not forthcoming, Epstein resorted to blackmail. This gives the public our clearest idea yet as to the nuts and bolts of the Epstein criminal enterprise.5. POLITICO is reporting on a rumor concerning Senator Dianne Feinstein, Representative Adam Schiff, and the Pelosi family. The former Speaker herself has endorsed Schiff in the upcoming California Senate primary and has long groomed him as a political protege. He currently holds a $15 million advantage over his nearest opponent. Yet, if Feinstein – who has appeared deeply addled in recent public appearances – were to resign, Governor Newsom would have the opportunity to appoint a Senator to the vacant seat, and has pledged to appoint a Black woman. Rep. Barbara Lee, a progressive Black congresswoman representing the Bay Area, is among the candidates to replace Feinstein, and would therefore have a strong chance of being appointed. Per the report, Nancy Corinne Prowda, Pelosi's eldest child, is a top aide to Senator Feinstien, and a “Pelosi family confidant” insinuated that she is angling to keep Feinstein in her seat, not for the benefit of Californians, but for the benefit of Adam Schiff.  6. The LA Times reports that “Nearly three dozen deputies have been ordered to come in for questioning, show their tattoos and give up the names of any other deputies similarly sporting ink connecting them to…the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department's…deputy gangs.” This demand came in a letter from county Inspector General Max Huntsman to 35 deputies suspected of being members of either the Executioners or the Banditos, two of the most notorious among these police gangs. Huntsman is quoted saying “The Los Angeles Sheriff's Department conducted incomplete internal affairs investigations into the Banditos and Executioners, failing to identify all members…California's new gang law addresses discrimination based on race and gender and gives inspectors general enhanced authority to collect evidence. We're using that authority to complete the investigations by directing deputies to show their tattoos and tell us who else has them.”7. The Sierra Club is currently in the midst of a labor battle. The New Republic reports that, in an attempt to resolve their budget shortfall, the group has announced “massive layoffs,” the scale of which still remains unclear.  This announcement set off a “fractious battle” between the top leadership and the Progressive Workers Union, which has two bargaining units representing nearly 400 Sierra Club employees around the country. Thus far union has filed two unfair labor practice charges with the National Labor Relations Board; the first “accuses the Club of failing to provide necessary information for bargaining,” and another alleging that “management is violating its collective bargaining agreement and is bargaining in bad faith.”8. Democracy Now! reports that conservative, US-backed Ecuadoran president Guillermo Lasso has “dissolved the opposition-led National Assembly in a move widely seen as an effort to block efforts to impeach him.” Lasso dissolved the assembly as it held its first hearing on corruption and embezzlement allegations against Lasso. Lasso invoked a never-before-used constitutional power allowing him to “rule by decree” until new elections are held.9. In an almost unbelievable story, Live Science is reporting that Orcas have “sunk 3 boats in Europe and appear to be teaching others to do the same.” The piece goes on to say that scientists believe the attacks are coordinated, and began following an orca experiencing a "critical moment of agony." Further, they believe “the behavior is spreading among the population through social learning.” This is a stark reminder that we as a species impact our environment and that, sometimes, there are consequences.

This week on the Mark Levin Show, there's a full-scale effort by President Biden and his surrogates to suggest that Biden has the power to use the 14th Amendment to lift the debt ceiling. This is as dictatorial and totalitarian as it gets. If Biden thought he had this power, why didn't he use it months ago? The left wraps themselves in the Constitution while they violate the Constitution. Democrat judges and prosecutors are going to lengths to derail Donald Trump's campaign for re-election, throwing phony charges and special prosecutors at Trump in order to interrupt his campaign. Democrats are using propagandists in the media to keep lying about the Constitution giving the power to destroy the economy, and at the same time blaming Republicans for a default on our debt. The 14th Amendment is a post-civil War amendment for Confederate soldiers, not to grant the president the power of the purse and allow him to propose and pass a budget and raise debt like Biden wants. IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley has a lot of guts and has put his career on the line to expose the preferential treatment of Hunter Biden. Senior leadership at the Department of Justice slow walked the investigation into Hunter's tax crimes because Democrats control the levers of prosecutorial power. Learn more about your ad choices.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, Governor Ron DeSantis has officially announced his candidacy for president and joins Mark to speak about his campaign and the state of the country under President Biden. DeSantis' task at hand is to return the government to the people. 2024 is a generational opportunity to solidify and expand a constitutionalist direction in our judiciary. Also, Democrats are using propagandists in the media to keep lying about the Constitution giving the power to destroy the economy, and at the same time blaming Republicans for a default on our debt. The 14th Amendment is a post-civil War amendment for Confederate soldiers, not to grant the president the power of the purse and allow him to propose and pass a budget and raise debt like Biden wants. Rep Jamie Raskin and the other Democrat Marxists are given a platform by the leftist media to lie about the Constitution; they will turn the Constitution into a pretzel to advance their radical ideology. Later, Mark speaks with Rep Byron Donalds about the national debt, debt ceiling, and Democrat pushback on proposed budget cuts. Finally, legendary singer Tina Turner passed away at age 83 after a long illness and kidney disease. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On April 20, 2023, BuzzFeed CEO Jonah Peretti announced that BuzzFeed would be closing down its newsroom and laying off 15 percent of its staff. The news came amidst a deluge of headlines about struggles in the media industry, including: layoffs at NBC, Vox, NPR, Spotify, Insider, News Corp, ABC, and Gannett; the closure of MTV news; bankruptcy at Vice. But the end of BuzzFeed News in particular symbolized the end of an era. BuzzFeed's rapid rise and success in the late aughts and 2010s helped define the style and format of digital media. In 2013, BuzzFeed was getting 130 million unique viewers a month. Disney made an offer to buy BuzzFeed for half a billion dollars that same year, which Peretti turned down. In 2016, BuzzFeed was valued at $1.7 billion. And then, last fiscal quarter, BuzzFeed reported $106 million in net losses. In this conversation, Brooke talks with Ben Smith, the Editor-in-Chief and co-founder of Semafor and author of the new book, Traffic: Genius, Rivalry, and Delusion in the Billion-Dollar Race to Go Viral, about his goals in building a newsroom at BuzzFeed, the lessons he learned, and what he thinks about the future of of news.

Later, former U.S. Attorney Brett Tolman revealed shocking information about Biden's first U.S. attorney who was forced out. He was removed because he wouldn't go along with the Biden administration who wanted to throw a very wide net and track down people from January 6 with no serious crimes.

The F.B.I. has repeatedly failed to comply with those limits, leading to court scrutiny.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/19/us/politics/fbi-violated-surveillance-program-rules.html 3:40pm- While speaking with Congressman Byron Donalds, Meet the Press host Chuck Todd argued in favor of expanding the number of Internal Revenue Service (IRS) agents—explaining that Americans shouldn't fear additional agents provided they're properly paying their taxes. 3:55pm- The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board writes of the IRS, “[t]he Supreme Court held this week that revenue agents who are chasing a debt have almost unbounded power to secretly obtain bank records on people in a delinquent taxpayer's orbit, even his lawyers. Reversing this is up to Congress.” You can read the full editorial here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/supreme-court-remo-polselli-irs-agents-bank-records-1e5d7531?mod=opinion_lead_pos3   4:05pm- According to reports, former Fox News host Tucker Carlson and reality television star Snooki have joined the push to stifle offshore wind development in New Jersey as whales continue to wash ashore along the Atlantic coast.

In 2011, then-President Barack Obama said about the 14th Amendment: “I've talked to my lawyers. They are not persuaded.” The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board writes, “[w]hat the 14th Amendment doesn't allow is the claim by many progressives that the President can issue new debt without the consent of Congress. Merely because Congress has approved new spending doesn't mean the President can issue new debt on his own authority to finance it. He can't issue new debt on his own to finance Medicare, for example.” You can read more here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/what-the-14th-amendment-really-says-debt-ceiling-biden-shut-down-default-constitution-78b24824?mod=opinion_lead_pos1 6:05pm- Tim Graham of Newsbusters points out that as Florida Governor Ron DeSantis gears up to announce his campaign for President later this week, Politico wrote a “hit piece” on DeSantis' wife, Casey.

You can read the full editorial here: https://nypost.com/2023/05/19/disney-isnt-killing-florida-jobs-over-ron-desantis/ 6:30pm- While appearing as a guest on Face the Nation, New York City Mayor Eric Adams implored border state governors to send migrants to “every U.S. city” despite NYC's status as a self-described “sanctuary city.” 6:40pm- On Meet the Press, host Chuck Todd stated that “we need a real Church Committee” to investigate the FBI and its alleged abuses of power—citing that trust in the bureau has completely eroded.

On Tuesday we entered the third week of one of the largest entertainment strikes in recent memory, the first TV writer's strike since 2007. More than 11,000 people are participating in the action by the Writers Guild of America, resulting in shows like The Tonight Show and Last Week Tonight going dark.  At the heart of the strike are concerns about the changes streamers like Netflix have presented for writer pay and career development. For one, the streamers don't pay writers residuals, the cut of money they would traditionally get every time their show was rerun on television. Now writers are more likely to be paid for the number of days they work on any given show. But while writer's fight for a new contract some old myths are resurfacing about the strike's impact, including the idea that when writers stopped working in 2007, there was an explosion of reality tv shows. For this week's podcast extra, Brooke speaks with former TV critic turned TV writer Emily St. James about some of the less than true notions about the current strike and previous strikes and why they keep circulating. 

John talks about North Carolina State Rep. Tricia Cotham who switched parties to become Republican and then voted for an abortion ban. He also discusses Speaker Kevin McCarthy who is still in negotiations with president Biden on the debt limit. Then he welcomes back Joe Sudbay with good news/bad news. They talk about Biden invoking the 14th Amendment to resolve the problems regarding the debt ceiling, Senator Diane Feinstein's deterioration of health, and state election results. Next, Elizabeth from D.C. calls in to tell her tale of shouting down Senator Ted Cruise during the vote of the Equal Rights Amendment. And to wrap it up he chats with Dr. Tracy Pearson about the debt ceiling crisis, the Rudy Giuliani sexual assault lawsuit, and Ron DeSantis' DEI Bill.

The state of Oklahoma will no longer use tax dollars to fund PBS after it aired children's content highlighting sexual orientation and gender. The decision is one being debated around the country, as recent polling shows that many Americans are concerned about a number of cultural issues like transgender rights or trans athletes in sports. Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt joins the podcast to break down his decision to end state funding for PBS after seeing what he called ‘problematic content.' Later, he discusses his state's recent legislation banning gender-affirming care for minors and what issues will be top of mind as we head closer toward the 2024 presidential election. The Biden administration is facing two issues that have Americans' full attention and concern. The first is coming to an agreement to address the looming debt ceiling, where already strained negotiations have been delayed. The second is the expiration of Title 42, a pandemic-era border policy that has just been lifted by the Biden administration, which experts expect to bring upon a massive increase in illegal border crossings. Fox News Sunday host Shannon Bream joins the podcast to discuss where the Democrats and Republicans disagree on debt ceiling negotiations, whether the Biden administration could use the 14th Amendment to resolve the issue, and the consequences of the expiration of Title 42.
