Stanford's Evelyn Douek and Alex Stamos weigh in on the latest online trust and safety news and developments:Stanford Internet Observatory Research Scholar Riana Pfefferkorn joins the show to discuss the latest developments in child safety policy on Capitol Hill. The EARN IT Act and STOP CSAM Act were officially introduced with civil liberties and online privacy advocates raising concerns. - Joe Mullin/ Electronic Frontier Foundation, Sophia Cope, Andrew Crocker, Mario Trujillo/ Electronic Frontier FoundationThe EARN IT Act would remove websites' immunity from civil lawsuits and state criminal charges stemming from child sex abuse material (CSAM) on their services, and create a commission to develop best practices for addressing child sexual exploitation online. - Lawrence Bonk/ Engadget, Mike Masnick/ Techdirt, Senate Committee on the JudiciarySenate Judiciary Chair Dick Durbin (D-IL) introduced the STOP CSAM Act which would expand child sexual abuse reporting laws for social media companies, require annual reports on efforts to protect children online, and specify that platforms are liable to civil lawsuits for the storage or distribution of CSAM. - Senate Committee on the JudiciaryIn a new Lawfare piece, Riana warns that mandated transparency reporting could do more harm than good if bad actors are able to exploit the disclosures, and she compares and contrasts several online safety bills' approaches to this dilemma.The Department of Justice brought charges against 40 members of  the Chinese national police for deploying a troll farm using “fake social media accounts to harass and intimidate PRC dissidents, and attempting to get the dissidents' accounts removed from a platform operated by a “U.S. telecommunications company.” - Department of Justice Twitter CornerProfessor Alexandra Roberts weighs in on whether Twitter could face legal liability for shoving blue check marks on people who don't want it. - ​​@lexlanhamTwitter quietly removed a line with explicit protections for transgender users in its hateful content policy. - Jess Weatherbed, Emma Roth/ The Verge, GLAADTwitter removed all “government-funded” and “state-affiliated” labeling for public news broadcasters, state media organizations, and affiliated journalists. - Jahnavi Nidumolu/ Reuters, Sara Fischer/ Axios, Nick Robertson/ The Hill, Michael Levenson/ The New York TimesMeanwhile, Facebook laid off most of its information problems team. - Anusuya Lahiri/ BenzingaThe Oversight Board, the quasi-independent entity funded by Meta to guide its content moderation decisions and policy, released an advisory report on Thursday calling for continued enforcement, but a reassessment of the types of claims Meta should remove under its current COVID-19 misinformation policies.

Alright, hear me out. I know country is a far cry from what our general audience is into, even for the Boonshot weirdos out there, but this isn't just ANY country album. Back in 2014, I went to a week long getaway with a bunch of amazing guitarists to enjoy clinics, jam sessions, all kinds of stuff. One of the people I met there later posted a partial cover of a song that I would have thought was from one of those guitarists who's famous only among guitarists, but no. It's none other than Brad Paisley, who I later came to understand is one hell of a musician. Today is about taking a journey through an album all about showcasing that ability, Brad Paisley's 2008 album, Play: The Guitar Album. Aaron is a real peach for joining me on this one, and you can find his show ICP w/We at www.icpwwe.com, check out Fukkfaace at https://fukkfaace.bandcamp.com, and watch him stream on twitch at https://www.twitch.tv/gristlemedia!

Around 2008 I was working at a Sunoco, providing an upscale neighborhood with the official fuel of NASCAR, and from time to time a certain song would come on the radio. I couldn't look things up on a phone back then, and relied on writing what lyrics I could pick up and searching them later. That song was the big single from this album, which I quickly picked up and began listening to nearly nonstop. From peppy pop punk, to somber horror ballads, to whatever the fuck Go-Getter Greg is, I loved every minute, and now I'd like to share it with a friend, and also with all of you. So sit down, queue up Jim Henson's Labyrinth (1986) starring David Bowie, and join us on our adventure through Ludo's 2008 sophomore release You're Awful, I Love You.

I feel like these intros are gonna be a feature length film if this keeps up. ANYWAY back in 2012ish, I was actually out of school completely (I was wrong in this episode, I'm bad at memory), but sometime in that bunch of years, I went to an FYE to grab some random albums based on covers, names, what have you, and ended up with this fantastic folk album. With influences from classic Americana, country, and indie rock, we've got a recipe for some good vibes. Come hang out in the cabana with us while we have a listen to First Aid Kit's 2012 album, The Lion's Roar. All the love to Erik for joining me, go listen to ICP w/We and Fukkfaace and other projects he's done at www.icpwwe.com!

In the year 2017, times were...well, they were. In that hour of darkness and despair, when hope was nearly lost, a couple nerds in the month of june finally release to the world an album unlike any before it. Featuring songs about robots, knights, robots who are knights, and how fucking rad dinosaurs are, it gave the world a reason to keep going. At the very least, it gave me a reason to go out fighting to the last. Here we are now, taking a trip back to the undisclosed location of the Schmeevburger in Paradise Bar & Grille to have another look at The Robot Knights and their first and last full-length album, Beta.

Twiztid made a bold choice for their last album, having guests on nearly every track. But they never make the same album twice, and so they set out to make a modern horror classic of them and them alone (ish). The JJ Boyz are here to listen to that end result, them and them alone (ish). Do Twiztid continue to improve as lyrical monsters while creating some truly sinister audio imagery? Is a lack of guests a benefit or a detriment to the full product? Is our guest a hater of some of the album's best tracks, but refuses to acknowledge that they're wrong? Find out the answers to these and more today as we get dark and... W.I.C.K.E.D. Much thanks to Blade for joining us for this episode. Always a blast to chat!

Hold on... 3? DJ Clay released 3 projects in a calendar year?!? Clay clearly has to make an impression with the Juggalos, so consistent music is a good way to do it. After a mediocre drop in the quality of the 2nd iteration, could Hatchet House's supreme cutmaster deliver strong in the 3rd outing? Do his labelmates learn from the 2nd volumes missteps and bring us some straight fire? Do we get a cover of one of our favorite songs we've ever heard by Schmeev's favorite artist that this show has ever covered? Find out today as people continue to allow DJ Clay to commit various bodily atrocities and... Let 'Em Bleed (The Mixxtape: Vol. 3).

Anybody Killa is someone that we have trouble finding negative things to say about here. Dude is just overall really consistent, even if he created Road Fools. Well after a 2-year stint away from The Hatchet, the Hatchet WARRIOR makes his glorious return. But would the Juggalos welcome him back with open arms? Has he found more ways to talk about how he is Native American? And is it possible that Mike got the release timeline wrong for how we should have recorded episodes? (Find out next episode). Answers to these and more will be found here today as we check out ABK's 3rd Psychopathic Records LP... Mudface.

Psychopathic Record is the label that runs beneath the streets. Hatchet House is the sub-label of the label that runs beneath the streets. A house is below the underneath of the streets. In a way, you could say it resides in the tunnels. And if you need to traverse those tunnels quickly, you could briskly walk through them. You could even run. Guys, idk what kind of description i'm trying to make for this. In 2008, Psychopathic decided to release a compilation of some heavy hitters in the underground. Lots of people we spoke with warned us of this album, but is it really all that bad? Find out today as we hit the underground and encounter... Tunnel Runners.

2 releases in the same year? DJ Clay is putting work in! After his solid opening endeavor on Hatchet House, there's seemingly no plans on slowing down with the murderous mixtape madness. Clay has to keep showing his skills behind the boards and even on the mic, but best believe the entire Hatchet Family is going to do the same! Does Clay continue to pick up steam mere months after his first record? Does Boondox return to bring joy to Schmeev? And does this truly contain the worst Twiztid song? Find out today as DJ Clay slices up the haters and returns to... Let 'Em Bleed (The Mixxtape: Vol. 2).

The R.O.C.'s story with Psychopathic Records is an interesting one. From touring with ICP as a member of H.O.K., to leaving H.O.K., inadvertently causing Mr. Bones and Hektik to rebrand as Jamie Madrox and Monoxide Child and become Twiztid on Psychopathic, continuing to use H.O.K. and also releasing music as a solo artist, to patching things up with his former group members and eventually joining The Hatchet himself, he had done a lot in his rap career. Joining Hatchet House, R.O.C. would initially be Blaze's hype man and partner in the new group Zodiac Mprint, but before we would get a record from the duo, a solo release was necessary to get people up to speed. Would R.O.C. stand out from the better-known labelmates? Do guest features overshadow his abilities? Is he, like many of his Hatchet homies, a total nerd? Find out the answers to these and more as we bid you a fine... Welcome To The Dark Side.

You may have heard that we went to the Gathering this year. A few episodes ago, we gave you the live recording of our Gathering Of The Juggalo Podcasts Live event. Well now's the time to give you our full GOTJ review! And you know we couldn't do this without some of our favorite people, so we got Aaron and Erik from ICP With We to help us out! We spent the whole Gathering together, so it only made sense for us to finish off with a bang. We wanted to get this to you sooner, but we had a lot of technical difficulties, but better late than never, right? Strap in, we got a lot to talk about!

Since 2006, that southern hillbilly you all know and love known as Boondox had become a fixture on Psychopathic Records. With an LP and an EP under his belt, he was quickly building his resume on the label. Slowing down clearly wasn't an option, and so in 2008 he would put out his 3rd release on The Hatchet. Could Boondox continue honing his skills of his southern-flavored wicked shit? Does he open up and get introspective on early traumas in his life? Does he decide to take a backseat when it comes to songs of domestic violence? Find out the answers to these and more as we take a walk into the woods and throw a line into... Krimson Creek.

Holy fucking shit, we went to the fucking Gathering. We semi-joked about it 2 years ago, and yet it actually happened. Thanks to Psychopathic Records and Erik of ICP With We, we were able to participate in the Gathering Of The Juggalo Podcasts Live! No pressure for our first Gathering, huh? What we have here is the audio we recorded on site during that event, where we chatted with Juggalos about Gathering experiences, acts they were looking forward to, and even did some giveaways. Is there chaos all around us? Is Riddle Box a consistent favorite among us? Were the sound checks that happened 200 feet away from us really inconvenient?

The season of the Lotus is once again upon us. Miraculously not wanting to overdo it, Dark Lotus would return from its slumber, 4 years since their last outing, Black Rain. Things have changed since then. With the loss of ABK, only 5 petals would remain. New producers would need to step up to fill the shows from prior outings. Was this the Dark Lotus album Juggalos needed after the hiatus? Is this the most focused and on-track record that Dark Lotus would create up to this point? Does Mike change his tune on it being his least favorite album by the group? We find out the answers of these and more as we journey far and wide to discover... The Opaque Brotherhood.

It has finally been done. Mike said he'd do it months ago, but it took a lot of depression to finally make it happen: a Juggalo Judgment merchandise store has been made so you can rep your favorite Juggalo Podcast that isn't ICP With We!

You should always exercise caution when you operate a motorized vehicle. I'm not sure how that fits into this description, but it's true. Anyways, Twiztid was supposed to go on tour in 2007 in support of their LP Independents Day, but for some reason that no one knows to this day, that tour had to be put on hold. In early 2008, they were able to tour the country far and wide, and they even brought a surprise in the form of a tour-exclusive EP.  We heard a little smidgen of it on the first Let 'Em Bleed, but here we get 7 tracks of demented goodness. Did Twiztid leave off some banger tracks from Independents Day? Are some of the alternate tracks better than what made the cut of that record? SHOULD THE ORIGINAL VERSION OF "FEEL ME" BEEN PUT ON A GREATEST HITS ALBUM THE LIKES OF WHICH NO ONE HAS EVER SEEN? These questions will be answered today as we head down to the nuclear plant and unleash some... Toxic Terror.

2008 would mark 16 years since ICP's Carnival Of Carnage, the de facto 1st release on Psychopathic Records, meaning The Hatchet would be turning 16. Remember your Sweet 16? Lots of kids had big parties, maybe they got a car or something. Well Psychopathic Records got a DJ! Shut up, I know DJ Clay has been around for a little bit before this, but let me have this for the joke, dammit. ANYWAYS, DJ Clay has already made his presence known on some other releases, but it's time to put himself on the map... with a mixtape primarily made of every other artist on Psychopathic. Does Clay nab some solid tracks that wouldn't make sense on other releases? Does he have solid flows of his own worthy of standing out? Does he do the best DJ Khaled impression this side of Detroit?

Today, June 26th, Mike turns 32. He could've been lazy and just said "fuck it, no new episode". But he didn't. He decided to grace you with his auditory presence. SO CHEER HIM. ACKNOWLEDGE HIM.

We've finally come to the conclusion of our "Shit We Missed". We laughed, we cried, Schmeev threatened to punch Mike in the skull repeatedly for forcing him to listen to these, but we made it. Today, we talk about a little-known album in Psychopathic's history. Prior to AMB's glorious win at GOTJ 2005 for an album contract, V Sinizter did it first. Unfortunately, due to a number of reasons, the album came and went with little fanfare. Mike was finally able to acquire a copy of this album, so it only made sense to try and find out just why Juggalos as a whole didn't gravitate towards it. Was V Sinizter still green as an artist? Did Psychopathic drop the ball in helping to nurture a fledgling album to be worth taking notice of? Did Mike see V Sinizter's set at Camp Xul and think he was cool as hell?

Mike was so damn excited about Camp Xul that there was no way he could wait to record the new Mike Check for it. So why wait? Mike grabbed his phone, and literally on the final night of the festivities, he got together with his Camp Crew of Robbie (TwiztidHistory/DoItForTheUnderground on IG), Blade, and Veronica to unpack everything from the weekend! This is a long episode, so buckle up! Apologies for the sound quality being on the low end; again, Mike just had his phone on him, so it pretty much sounds like an old JJ episode!   As mentioned at the beginning of this episode, please go to the link below and purchase the new track by Jigglz (with assistance from Schmeev and Erik).

We all remember the story of ICP's overnight success after the infamous "Disney Scandal". With a wave of Milenko's wand, the Wicked Clowns were in the public eye, underdogs of the world who had their hard work pulled out from under them. Island Records made the big save, and they were fully behind Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope. One such way of doing this was by buying out a dedicated timeslot on MTV to play whatever they wanted, which meant airing a documentary dedicated to ICP and the Juggalos. A video tape (and later on, DVD release) of this meant that new and old Juggalos could experience this whenever they wanted, and so we're doing that here! Yes, the JJ Boiz are here with another commentary track, so bust out the VHS player and have us on in the background. Did Island make the right choice in broadcasting this to the world? Were you one of the special Juggalos who watched this right when it aired? Is Legz Diamond the most charismatic ninja that world has ever known? We find out today as we sit and watch... Shockumentary.   Hit us up on our socials here: https://linktr.ee/JuggaloJudgment, or get at one of us directly on Twitter @MikeSpohnTheSEJ and @Schmeev, OR hit up Mike on Instagram @StraightEdgeJuggalo.

You may remember that Mike wasn't the biggest fan of Myzery in the past. From his contributions to Psychopathic Rydas, his guest verse on "Meatcleaver", and the one track of his we heard on Forgotten Freshness, Vol. 1 (plus Mike's prior experience with the album in particular), he was ready to just shut the door on Les Myz until 2017 or whatever. But the season of "Shit We Missed" just left a nagging feeling for Mike, and ultimately decided that we should give him a shot. So we did! Does Myzery stand on his own with minimal involvement by Psychopathic? Is this a more solid hip-hop record than we were expecting? Does Mike ever say the album title correctly?

Way back in 1977 Elvis Costello released his debut album. 13 years later, I was born. 20-something years later I was introduced to said album and determined it was one of the greatest things I'd ever heard, from a songwriting, compositional, really every standpoint. Does Mike have an appreciation for this kind of old-fashioned rock and roll? Does it baffle him as a temporal anomaly, existing across many generations of genres while sounding clean as heck? Will he be able to analyze at least one song that is plainly just about bangin'?

Because Schmeev jumped the gun and didn't ask Mike if a Mike Check was coming out today due to Mike's hesitance at releasing what he initially recorded, you got that dumpster fire earlier today. But never fear, Mike is here. Well... maybe you should fear anyways.

He is up there. He is up there indeed. It's a special April 17th Mike Check, because Mike didn't wanna release the Mike Check he recorded, so we now have some Juggalo Judgment lost media out there, isn't that exciting? Well Schmeev decided to take over like he does, and give you some actual updates on juggalo news...after talking about some other stuff first. So settle in, and enjoy a nice peaceful ASMR Mike Check.

On Halloween in the year of our Lord 2000, an artist named Poe released a sort of companion piece to a novel released in March of the same year. At the same time, it was a tribute to her father who had recently passed, and a way to explore the grieving process of a complicated relationship. In that spirit, we also discuss the complicated relationship between listeners and artists, artists and labels, there's a lot to cover here. Was Poe ahead of her time? Does her eccentric taste make for a unique sound still not heard today? Is this 18 track album a form of retribution for the other 11 months of the year? Find out as we dive into Poe's sophomore album Haunted.   Hit us up on our socials here: https://linktr.ee/JuggaloJudgment, or get at one of us directly on Twitter @MikeSpohnTheSEJ and @Schmeev, OR hit up Mike on Instagram @StraightEdgeJuggalo.

You like the Psychopathic Rydas? No? Well, neither does Schmeev. You like gold? Well, neither does Mike. We're 0-for-2 right now... How about we combine the 2 and hope for the best? Around the Riddle Box era, ICP and a bunch of friends and Psychopathic Records employees did a gimmick supergroup that was basically Rydas before Rydas, but everyone had a gold name and had an incredibly limited time frame to write their lyrics and only 1 take to lay those vocals down. Is this album a fun novelty? Is it easy to tell who's a rapper and who should never enter a vocal booth ever again? Is Legz Diamond a goddamn treasure on this Earth and should be on every project ever? Find out the answers to these and more today, but before you do that, make sure you...

In the early days of Psychopathic, ICP were slowly but surely making names for themselves. The Detroit area would know of the 2 white guys painting themselves up as clowns rapping about murder and carnivals. But Violent J wanted more for the label. He wanted to show that Psychopathic wasn't just ICP. Enter Project Born, Psychopathic's attempt to expand past what ICP was doing at the time. Would Juggalos accept the group? Were guest features from ICP and Esham The Unholy enough to satisfy their desire for horrorcore? Were some of the songs just too goddamn long to keep the attention of the Juggalos in the early 90's?

Born Dead.   Hit us up on our socials here: https://linktr.ee/JuggaloJudgment, or get at one of us directly on Twitter @MikeSpohnTheSEJ and @Schmeev, OR hit up Mike on Instagram @StraightEdgeJuggalo.

Eagle-eared listeners will remember way back when we discussed Forgotten Freshness Vol. 2 that we really dug the track "Dog Beats" towards the end. It was fun to hear something that was almost entirely different than what we'd heard from Violent J & Shaggy 2 Dope up to that point. But why leave that as some freshness meant to be forgotten? Pre-clowny Joe & Joey was a welcome treat to hear at that time, so surely an entire EP of that would be just as fun, right? (Clearly Schmeev has been enjoying this entire "shit we missed" journey, if you haven't noticed). So continuing this fun little romp through the early years, we had to hit up this CD as well. For being another Violent J-heavy project, have his skills improved significantly since Bass-Ment Cuts? Does J have a weird obsession with The Wizard Of Oz? And why did they feel compelled to add an alleged Carnival Of Carnage B-side on this 2020 re-release? Find out the answers to the questions and more as we hit up that drive-thru and order some of Inner City Posse's... Dog Beats.   Hit us up on our socials here: https://linktr.ee/JuggaloJudgment, or get at one of us directly on Twitter @MikeSpohnTheSEJ and @Schmeev, OR hit up Mike on Instagram @StraightEdgeJuggalo.

On "Down With The Clown", Shaggy 2 Dope declares that "this one goes out to the ninjas that's been down since Carnival Of Carnage". He proceeds to correct himself by then saying it's for those who have been down since Dog Beats. And then he mentions some other random album before Dog Beats, stating it's for the people who allegedly started listen upon THAT album's release. Well, we decided to continue our trip to the past and search for that hallowed record. Violent J, still pursuing fame as a gangsta rap artist, would press on with honing his lyrical abilities as a member of Inner City Posse. Does this record show more flashes of early greatness? Are there any hints of clowny hijinks yet? Can we please have D-Lyrical back? We answer these and more today as we go down the stairs and dig up... Bass-Ment Cuts.   Hit us up on our socials here: https://linktr.ee/JuggaloJudgment, or get at one of us directly on Twitter @MikeSpohnTheSEJ and @Schmeev, OR hit up Mike on Instagram @StraightEdgeJuggalo.

Juggalo Judgment has been going on for nearly 3 years. It's insane to think of everything we've been able to talk about on this show and all the people who have taken time out of their busy schedules to listen to 2 dorks who have taken time out of their busy schedules to sit down, listen to, and analyze music of the Juggalo variety. Over that time, Mike has made it a point that we only cover the albums he has purchased, and because of that, there's been some stuff that he's missed. As time has gone on, he's been able to acquire more albums, including some that we already passed up. So we thought it was a good time to go back in time to cover the shit we missed! Up first, we have the first official ICP record, back when it was Inner City Posse comprised of Violent J and D-Lyrical flexing their skills with a karaoke machine. But an episode so monumental could not be tackled by just your lovable duo, so we enlisted the help of Aaron and Erik of ICP With We to join in on the fun! Does Violent J show flashes of greatness so early in his career? Should D-Lyrical have been more present here? And is Violent J ACTUALLY the mack? We find out the answers to these questions and more today as we dive headfirst into some schooling and fighting, or rather... Intelligence & Violence.   Again, big shout out to Aaron and Erik for joining us for this episode. We had an incredible time talking about this record and it's always a joy to chat with them.

Rounding out 2007, we got a treat for you. At that point, Psychopathic Records had been around for about 15 years, and over that time, they made a lot of music videos. What better way to check them out than by doing what a lot of other artists at the time did and compile them all on a DVD so you can binge them all? So today, in similar fashion to our Big Money Hustlas episode, we have a commentary track for you. Go ahead and pop in the DVD, press "play" when we tell you, and it's like we're sitting on the couch with you! Let's travel through the Hatchet's history with Psychopathic: The Videos! (As an aside, let us know if you like these commentary-style episodes. We're gonna be starting our "shit we missed" section, and there's a few other DVD-style things we could cover if you're interested, so tell us!)   Hit us up on our socials here: https://linktr.ee/JuggaloJudgment, or get at one of us directly on Twitter @MikeSpohnTheSEJ and @Schmeev, OR hit up Mike on Instagram @StraightEdgeJuggalo.

Juggalo Judgment has been trucking along for almost 3 years now, and in that time, we've covered about 15 years of music from Psychopathic Records. But in that time, you think they only did their music? Fuck no! The Hatchet Family wouldn't just be restricted to their corner of the underground, and other artist were bound to take note. So on today's special episode, we're taking a look at some of the most prominent guest spots that ICP, Twiztid, and the like did for other artists, underground and mainstream alike! Are ICP's spots typical ICP verses? Did we technically add a couple Psychopathic songs to this because we didn't cover a specific compilation? Did we actually talk about that god-awful Cykosis song? No, no we didn't talk about that one, so sorry in advance. Grab a friend, partner up and let's see some Psychopathic flexing as we cover Psychopathic Guest Features: Beginning - 2007.   Hit us up on our socials here: https://linktr.ee/JuggaloJudgment, or get at one of us directly on Twitter @MikeSpohnTheSEJ and @Schmeev, OR hit up Mike on Instagram @StraightEdgeJuggalo.

Mike missed his check two weeks ago and I failed to step up to the plate then, so I'm making up for that now by giving you a SECOND Christmas check (go listen to his if you haven't).

There's a bit of news here, but the main flavor is Mike's top 5 albums of 2021 list, so join him as he dives in and potentially makes some people mad.

Today, we venture into the deep deep DEEP blackness of space for the 3rd time because Psychopathic Records decided that the last time in 2003 just couldn't be the last. With the changes in the roster, Psychopathic Records was a different landscape in the time that's passed. But with some new faces on the roster, how does this compare to Juggalo favorite PFOS and the bane of our existence PFOS2? Does The Hatchet make any attempt to make the songs space-y? Are there some hidden gems that should have been promoted more? Are there any vans in space, and if not, how far are we from having the technology to do so? We ponder these questions and more today as we look to the stars and see in the distance... Psychopathics From Outer Space Part 3.

Kudos to Blaze for not releasing something every single year, waiting just long enough for the Juggalos to ask "WHEN THE FUCK IS BLAZE GONNA DROP SOME NEW SHIT?". Well in 2007, everybody's favorite shotgun-wielding dead man returned. We enjoyed quite a bit of Blaze's last record with 2004's Colton Grundy, but what else could Blaze offer us? With a lot of other releases that year from his labelmates, Blaze would have to pull out all the stops to create something memorable, and we find out here if he did. Does Blaze continue to evolve into a multidimensional being? Does this album have one of Mike's favorite Blaze tracks that he has a dumb story with? And does it contain a lackluster cut that includes the 9th most popular artist from another label? Find out today as Mike doesn't have a good pun for... Clockwork Gray.   Hit us up on our socials here: https://linktr.ee/JuggaloJudgment, or get at one of us directly on Twitter @MikeSpohnTheSEJ and @Schmeev, OR hit up Mike on Instagram @StraightEdgeJuggalo.

Sorry everyone, but there was pretty much NOTHING of note this episode.

2007 was a solid year for the Wicked Clowns. With Mike E. Clark returning to Psychopathic Records, spirits had to be high. The Tempest certainly had people talking, but there was still a little more to explore in that saga. So at the 2007 Gathering Of The Juggalos, ICP gave fans 1 last look at what was created during those Tempest sessions. With a small helping of outtakes, Juggalos were seemingly divided at the new EP, similarly how they felt about The Tempest and the 1st part of this stormy trilogy, The Calm.

With a slightly-altered lineup, the Rydas are as ruthless as ever. Does newcomer Yung Dirt hold his own among the bandana-clad vets of the group? Do the Rydas give us more substance than black trucks, money, and murder? Does Schmeev continue to get really tired of the Psychopathic Rydas?

Bills and Laws The Patriot Act United and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA Patriot Act) of 2001 House Vote Senate Vote Law Outline TITLE I: ENHANCING DOMESTIC SECURITY AGAINST TERRORISM Sec. 106: Presidential Authority Expanded the authority of the President to "investigate, regulate, or prohibit" financial transactions to include "any person, or with respect to any property, subject to the jurisdiction of the United States." Expanded the authority of the President to block transactions and property of "any person, or with respect to any property, subject to the jurisdiction of the United States" "during the pendency of an investigation". Expands the authority of the President to confiscate property "of any foreign person, foreign organization, or foreign country" when the US has been "attacked by a foreign country or foreign nationals" and the President can then decide what to do with that property "for the benefit of the United States." These provisions remain in current law as of 10/18/21 TITLE II: ENHANCED SURVEILLANCE PROCEDURES Sec. 201: Authority to Intercept Wire, Oral, and Electronic Communications Relating to Terrorism Expands the list of suspected actions that can justify the Attorney General and some subordinates obtaining judicial permission for wiretaps (a list that has since been expanded further) to include terrorism related crimes. Sec. 203: Authority to Share Criminal Investigate Information Allows grand jury information to be shared with "any Federal law enforcement, intelligence, protective, immigration, national defense, or national security official" if the matter involves "foreign intelligence or counterintelligence" The government official who receives the information has to notify the court that it got the information, but that notification can be in secret and they have to submit it "within a reasonable time after such disclosure", which is not defined. The government official who receives the information is authorized to share it with "any other Federal law enforcement, intelligence, protective, immigration, national defense, or national security official" if it includes "foreign intelligence or counterintelligence" The procedures for sharing the information was left up to the Attorney General to decide. Sec. 205: Employment of Translators by the Federal Bureau of Investigation Authorizes the FBI to speed up the hiring of translators Sec. 206: Roving Surveillance Authority Under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 If a person is a "foreign power or an agent of a foreign power", the government can authorize wiretapping a "common carrier, landlord, custodian, or other specified person" if the court finds that the target is using communications that "may have the effect of thwarting the identification" of the target. Sec. 207: Duration of FISA Surveillance of Non-United States Persons Who Are Agents of a Foreign Power The warrants can be issued for up to 120 days fi they are for targeting individuals and can be for up to a year if targeting a "foreign power" Sec. 209: Seizure of Voicemail Messages Pursuant to Warrants Allows the government to seize the contents of voicemails using a warrant instead of a surveillance order, which is a faster method for authorization. Sec. 210: Scope of Subpoenas For Records of Electronic Communications Expands the information that can be subpoenaed from telecom companies to include connection records, records of call times and duration, types of services used, telephone numbers, IP addresses, and method of payments included credit card or bank account numbers. This provision had no sunset. Sec. 212: Emergency Disclosure of Electronic Communications to Protect Life and Limb Allows the telecom companies to provide customer data to the government if it "reasonably believes that an emergency involving immediate danger of death or serous physical injury to any person requires disclosure of the information with delay" Allows the telecom companies to provide customer data "to any person other than a governmental entity" Allows the government to require a telecom company to disclose customer records, which was previously an option decided by the telecoms. Sec. 213: Authority for Delaying Notice of the Execution of a Warrant Allows the government to delay notifying their target about a warrant if they court finds that the notification "may have an adverse result" such as an individual fleeing prosecution, endangerment of someone's life, tampering with evidence, witness intimidation, or jeopardizing the investigation. This provision allowed "sneak and peek" warrants, which allowed the government to secretly enter - physically or electronically - a target's property to search, take pictures, copy documents, download files, etc. as long as they didn't take any property with them. This provision had no sunset. Sec. 214: Pen Register and Trap and Trace Authority Under FISA Eliminates the requirements that trace devices only be applied to devices and facilities used by foreign persons, so that now they can be used on devices belonging to US citizens so long as the devices are likely to provide information related to a foreign intelligence investigation. Sec. 215: Access to Records and Other items under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act Authorizes the FBI to order "the production of any tangible items" for their investigations into international terrorism, as long as the investigation of a US citizen or company is "not conducted solely upon the basis of activities protected by the first amendment to the Constitution." The entity turning over the property can not tell anyone that they gave the FBI whatever they requested or tell anyone about the investigation's existence, and in return, the entity that produced the items "shall not be liable to any other person for such production." Sec. 216: Modification of Authorities Relating to Use of Pen Registers and Trap and Trace Devices Requires that the court "shall" authorize the installation of trace devices "anywhere within the United States" if the court finds that the government has shown that the information likely obtained from the devices "is relevant to an ongoing criminal investigation." The order "shall apply to any personal or entity providing wire or electronic communication services in the United states" A record must be kept of which officers installed the device, the date and time it was installed and uninstalled, the date, times, and durations that the device is accessed for information, and the information collected from the device. The record must be provided to the court "under seal" within 30 days "after termination of the order". There was no sunset for this provision. Sec. 217: Interception of Computer Trespasser Communications Allows companies to voluntarily request law enforcement monitoring of intruders on their networks and authorizes the government to intercept information transmitted by a "computer trespasser" Sec. 219: Single-Jurisdiction Search Warrants for Terrorism Allows judges to issue search warrants outside of the districts where the property to be searched is located. There was no sunset for this provision. Sec. 222: Assistance to Law Enforcement Agencies Requires that companies that help the government install tracing devices authorized by Section 216 on their network be "reasonably compensated for such reasonable expenditures incurred in providing such facilities or assistance." Sec. 223: Civil Liability for Certain Unauthorized Disclosures If a court finds that an employee of the United States has disclosed information collected improperly, the government has to conduct a proceeding to determine if discipline is warranted. Damages can be awarded of at least $10,000 plus litigation costs. Sec. 224: Sunset Sets an expiration date of December 31, 2005 for Sections 203(a), 203(c), 205, 208, 210, 211, 213, 216, 219, 221, and 222. Sec. 225: Immunity for Compliance with FISA Wiretap Provides immunity to anyone who complies with a FISA wiretap, including private and government persons.

Sec. 315: Inclusion of Foreign Corruption Offenses as Money Laundering Crimes Expands what qualifies as "money laundering" to include "bribery of a public official, or the misappropriation, theft, or embezzlement of public funds by or for the benefit of public official" and some smuggling and firearm offenses. Sec. 316: Anti-Terrorist Forfeiture Protection An owner of property that is confiscated under US laws that allow the seizure of assets of suspected international terrorists can contest that confiscation, but the government can use evidence against them to justify the confiscation that is "otherwise inadmissible under the Federal Rules of Evidence" if it finds that "compliance with the Federal Rules of Evidence may jeopardize the national security interests of the United States." Sec. 319: Forfeiture of Funds in United States Interbank Accounts If funds are deposited by suspect into an account at a foreign bank that has an account in the United States, the money in that bank's account -up to the amount deposited in the target's account - can be held or seized from the bank's account. If a foreign bank doesn't terminate their relationship with the suspect, that foreign bank can be fined up to $10,000 per day until that relationship is terminated. If a convicted criminal hides their property, the court "shall" order other property up to the value of the missing property to be seized. Sec. 320: Proceeds of Foreign Crimes Expands the government's power to seize property held inside the United States if the property was obtained via felony drug offenses if the offense would be punishable by death or more than one year in prison under the foreign nation's or the US's laws. Sec. 323: Enforcement of Foreign Judgments The government can apply for and the courts can grant restraining orders to hold property that is the subject of investigations being conducted by foreign governments as long as the offense would have been illegal if committed in the United States. No one can object to the restraining order. The defendant is no longer required to have received notice of the proceedings in time to act but instead the foreign court has to "take steps" to notify the defendant. Sec. 326: Verification of Identification The Secretary of the Treasury has to write regulations that require banks to verify the identity of their customers and check a list of suspected terrorists to make sure that those people are not trying to open accounts at their bank.

If the information is shared "with malicious intent", the institution sharing the information can be sued. Sec. 358: Bank Secrecy Provisions and Activities of United States Intelligence Agencies to Fight International Terrorism Consumer reporting agencies "shall furnish a consumer report of a consumer and all other information in a consumer's file to a government agency authorized to conduct investigations of, or intelligence or counterintelligence activities or analysis related to, international terrorism when presented with a written certification by such government agency that such information is necessary" for the agency's investigation. The consumer reporting agency is not allowed to tell the consumer that the government requested the information or that the government received it. Provides immunity for a consumer reporting agency that complies with the government request. Sec. 361: Financial Crimes Enforcement Network Transforms the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) into a bureau in the Department of the Treasury. Sec. 363: Increase in Civil and Criminal Penalties for Money Laundering The Secretary of the Treasury may impose civil money penalties equal to or more than 2 times the amount of the transaction but not more than $1 million on any financial institution that violates the money laundering laws and special measures. Sec. 365: Reports Relating to Coins and Currency Received in Non-Financial Trade or Business Requires that any coin or currency transaction that is over $10,000 be reported to FinCEN. The reports must include the name and address of the recipient, the amount, the date and nature of the transaction, and the name of the person filing the report. This does not apply to any transaction if the entire transaction occurs outside of the United States. Subtitle C - Currency Crimes and Protection Sec. 371: Bulk Cash Smuggling Into or Out of the United States Creates the crime of "currency smuggling", which is when someone knowingly conceals more than $10,000 in currency or other monetary instruments on themselves or in their luggage or containers and transports it, or attempts to transport it, into or out of the United States.

To commit an act that the actor knows, or reasonably should know, affords material support, including a safe house, transportation, communications, funds, transfer of funds or other material financial benefit, false documentation or identification, weapons (including chemical, biological, or radiological weapons), explosives, or training for the commission of a terrorist activity, to any individual who the actor knows, or reasonably should know, has committed or plans to commit a terrorist activity, or to a terrorist organization (unless the actor can demonstrate that he did not know, and should not reasonably have known, that the act would further the organization's terrorist activity.) Defines a "terrorist organization" A group designated, upon publication in the Federal Register, by the Secretary of State in consultation with or upon the request of the Attorney General, as a terrorist organization, after finding that the organization engages in "terrorist activity" or that the organization provides material support to further terrorist activity A group of two or more individuals, whether organized or not, which engages in "terrorist activity" Sec. 412: Mandatory Detention of Suspected Terrorists; Habeas Corpus; Judicial Review The Attorney General "may" certify that an "alien" is "engaged in any other activity that endangers the national security of the United States" An alien who is certified "shall" be taken into custody by the Attorney General "The Attorney General shall maintain custody of such an alien until the alien is removed from the United States... such custody shall be maintained irrespective of any relief from removal granted the alien, until the Attorney General determines that the alien is no longer an alien who may be certified" If the alien is finally determined to not be removable, detention "shall terminate" but an alien who has not been removed "and whose removal is unlikely in the reasonably foreseeable future, may be detained for additional periods of up to six months only if the release of the alien will threaten the national security of the United States or the safety of the community or any person." Judicial review of "any action or decision" relating to this section ("including judicial review of the merits of a determination") is available exclusively in habeas corpus proceedings. Outside of that, "no court shall have jurisdiction to review, by habeas corpus petition or otherwise, any such action or decision." The habeas corpus proceedings that are allowed may be initiated only by an application filed with the Supreme Court, any circuit judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, or "any district court otherwise having jurisdiction to entertain it."

TITLE VII: INCREASED INFORMATION SHARING FOR CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE PROTECTION Sec. 701: Expansion of Regional Information Sharing System to Facilitate Federal-State-Local Law Enforcement Response Related to Terrorist Attacks Funds new information sharing networks TITLE VIII: STRENGTHENING THE CRIMINAL LAWS AGAINST TERRORISM Sec. 801: Terrorist Attacks and Other Acts of Violence Against Mass Transportation Systems Sets penalties for attacking mass transportation systems For attacks or plots that don't kill anyone or have passengers on board: Fines and up to 20 years in prison For attacks on vessels carrying at least one passenger or that result in "the death of any person", fines and up to life in prison. Sec. 802: Definition of Domestic Terrorism "The term 'domestic terrorism' means activities that involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State; appear to be intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States." Current law maintains this definition Sec. 803: Prohibition Against Harboring Terrorists Establishes punishments for anyone who "harbors or conceals any person who he knows, or has reasonable grounds to believe, has committed, or is about to commit" a list of terrorism related crimes.

The language 'any act of domestic or international terrorism' has since be changed to 'any Federal crime of terrorism' Sec. 809: No Statute of Limitation for Certain Terrorism Offenses Exempts terrorism crimes that result in or created a forseeable risk of death or serious bodily injury from an 8 year statute of limitations.

TITLE IX: IMPROVED INTELLIGENCE Sec. 901: Responsibilities of Director of Central Intelligence Regarding Foreign Intelligence Collected Under Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 Because only the President and Attorney General are able to initiate a FISA surveillance order, this provision facilitates information sharing from the Attorney General to the CIA in a way that ensures that the CIA "Director shall have no authority to direct, manage, or undertake electronic surveillance or physical search operations." Sec. 905: Disclosure to Director of Central Intelligence of Foreign Intelligence-Related Information With Respect to Criminal Investigations The Attorney General or the head of "any other department or agency of the Federal Government" with law enforcement responsibilities "shall expeditiously disclose" to the Director of Central Intelligence foreign intelligence gotten in the course of a criminal investigation. TITLE X: MISCELLANEOUS Sec. 1005: First Responders Assistance Act Creates a grant program where the Attorney General will fund States and local governments for hiring additional law enforcement personal dedicated to "intelligence gathering", purchasing spying equipment such as wire-tap, pen links, cameras, and computer hardware/software, protective equipment for patrol officers, and communications operations for improved interoperability among surrounding jurisdictions. Sec. 1007: Authorization of Funds for DEA Police Training in South and Central Asia Authorizes $5 million for fiscal year 2002 for "regional antidrug training in the Republic of Turkey" by the DEA for police and "increased precursor chemical control efforts in the South and Central Asia region."

Sec. 1012: Limitation on Issuance of Hazmat Licenses The Attorney General will complete background checks at the request of the States on people applying for a license to transport hazardous material Sec. 1016: Critical Infrastructure Protection Creates the National Infrastructure Simulation and Analysis Center (NISAC) Hearings House Session - October 23, 2001 Sound Clip Transcripts 1:26:29 Rep. Bobby Scott: First of all, I think it's appropriate to comment on the process by which the bill is coming to us. This is not the bill that was reported and deliberated on in the Judiciary Committee. It came to us late on the floor. No one has really had an opportunity to look at the bill to see what's in it since we've been out of our offices. The report has just come to us. And it would be helpful if we'd wait for some period of time so that we can at least review what we're voting on. But I guess that's not gonna stop us. So here we go. 1:27:26 Rep. Bobby Scott: This bill makes three significant changes. One, it reduces s+tandards for getting a foreign intelligence wiretap from one where it is the reason you're getting it, to it is a significant reason for getting the wiretap, much less. Then you wonder, well, if it's not the primary reason, why are you getting the wiretap? Second, it allows the roving wiretap so once you find a target, if he's using cell phones, for example, you can go and find them wherever he is. And third, you can use the information in a criminal investigation and the combination gives you the situation where there's very little standard, and you can essentially conduct a criminal investigation without probable cause. If you have, for example, a target, who is using cell phones, you get the the wiretap, he uses a payphone, you can listen to anybody using the payphone. If he's in a club or organization, in a business, you can go on you tap the phones there, if he's visiting the democratic national headquarters, maybe you can tap all the phones there. 1:29:47 Rep. Bobby Scott: There are provisions that allow attention under certain circumstances that may be indefinite, we expand the ability of the government to conduct secret searches and so called sneak and peek where you don't tell people they're even being investigated. And you can start targeting domestic organizations, designated domestic groups, as terrorist groups and you can start getting the CIA into designating these groups as targets for criminal investigations. There's a lot in this bill that we have not appropriately considered. And that's why we need more time to think of it because it goes way past terrorism. This is the way you're going to be conducting criminal investigations and therefore the bill ought to be defeated. 1:39:09 Rep. Spencer Bachus: You know, we may not have understood and appreciated the word “terrorism” and what terrorists were before September 11. We certainly do today. We know who they are. We know what they're capable of. We may not have appreciated the need for this legislation before September 11, but surely today, we appreciate the need for this legislation and the urgency of such legislation. 1:44:04 Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee: I'm concerned that the legislation still permits the Attorney General indefinitely to incarcerate or detain non-citizens based on mere suspicion and to deny readmission to the United States of such non-citizens. I'm also concerned that the AG and the Secretary of State have the power to designate domestic terrorists. You might simply be paying dues and be declared part of a terrorist organization. It has widespread investigation of Americans just on the basis of intelligence purposes. It allows searches of highly personal financial records, and allows student records to be searched. I would say this, Mr. Speaker, let us show America's character and bring forth a bill that all of us will find a good balance. We'll review this bill but I hope that we'll vote on a good bill and provide the leadership that we need to lead. 1:46:41 Rep. Marge Roukema: I would like to say to some of the naysayers that complain about the provisions, the question as to whether or not they deny due process or whatever. The question has been asked, Are we endangering the rights and privacy of innocent Americans? The answer is no. But it does give our law enforcement officials the requirements that they need for their careful investigation. It gives our regulators and law enforcement officials what they need to get the job done. 1:52:25 Rep. Zoe Lofgren: I would also like to note, however, that there's been a lot of loose language among people who oppose this bill, and people are perfectly free to disagree with it, but it's important that we not be incorrect about what's actually in the bill. I actually heard someone say that the bill would provide for indefinite incarceration on a mere suspicion by the Attorney General, that's simply not the case. The Attorney General may detain persons but he has to certify and he has to have reasonable reasonable grounds to believe that the individuals have involved in terrorism and that decision is reviewable by a court. So that is really the to say it's a mere suspicion and indefinite is certainly not the case. 2:07:48 Rep. Mel Watt: Some groups in our country have had their rights violated, trampled on, by the law enforcement authorities in this country and so we don't have the luxury of being able to just sit back and give authority, more authority, than is warranted, the authority possibly to abuse due process, to law enforcement, even in the context of what we're going through now. This is a very difficult time. I acknowledge that it is. But I think we are giving the government and law enforcement too much authority in this bill. 2:18:15 Rep. Barney Frank: Mr. Speaker, I don't know how I'm gonna vote on this bill yet, because I have this notion that in a bill of this weight, I ought to read it. So what I want to talk about now is my deep disappointment at the procedure. The gentleman from Wisconsin, the chair of the committee, has fought hard for a fair chance for the members to look at things. But on the whole, his efforts have not been honored. We now, for the second time, are debating on the floor a bill of very profound significance for the constitutional structure and security of our country and in neither case has any member been allowed to offer a single amendment. At no point in the debate in this very profound set of issues, have we had a procedure whereby the most democratic institution in our government, the House of Representatives, engages in democracy. Who decided that to defend democracy we had to degrade it? Who decided that the very openness and participation and debate and weighing of issues, who decided that was a defect at a time of crisis? This is a chance for us to show the world that democracy is a source of strength, that with our military strength and our determination and our unity of purpose goes to continued respect for the profound way in which our democracy functions. And this bill ironically, this bill which has been given all these high flying acronyms, it's the Patriot bill, it's the USA bill, it's that stand up and sing the Star Spangled Banner bill, has been debated in the most undemocratic way possible. And that's not worthy of this institution. 2:21:13 Rep. John Conyers: The members of the judiciary committee, who had a free and open debate, and then we came to a bill that even though imperfect, was unanimously agreed on. That was removed from us and we're now debating at this hour of the night, with only two copies of the bill that we're being asked to vote on available to the members on this side of the aisle. 2:22:18 Rep. John Conyers: Although I like the the money laundering provisions in the bill, I detest the work product that bears the name of my committee on it that has now been joined with this bill. And for this reason, as we close this debate, my inclination is not to support the bill. 2:23:12 Rep. James Sensenbrenner: Mr. Speaker, this is the latest step in a long process to attempt to pass a bill and send to the president that is vitally needed. It is vitally needed by our law enforcement officials, who are fighting the battle at home. We don't know how this battle will be fought. We don't know what tactics the enemy will take. We don't know what agents the enemy will use. And what we need is we need to get the intelligence necessary to protect the people of the United States of America from whatever the enemy has planned up its sleeve.

In 2007, Twiztid decided it was time to make some big plays. Similar to The Green Book, they would "play the industry card" and secure guests for their next album, but rather than try and get super massive guests that everyone knew of, this time, they would showcase the underground. The JJ Boyz decided to do the same thing, and we secured our OWN guest, ending the (fake) beef with the one and only Robbie, better known as TwiztidHistory. Who has the guest spot on this record? Does Twiztid's first time working with Seven on a number of tracks set the tone for the future? If the Weak Shit was Out in 2007, why do some people think it's what Twiztid is doing in 2021 (not Mike, he fucking lives for the new shit)? Find out the answers to these and more. Get your grill ready and crack open a cold one with the boys, for today we celebrate... Independents Day.    Major thanks to Robbie for joining us on this episode. We had a blast chatting and look forward to having him on again in the future. Show him props on his awesome Instagram page @TwiztidHistory!   Hit us up on our socials here: https://linktr.ee/JuggaloJudgment, or get at one of us directly on Twitter @MikeSpohnTheSEJ and @Schmeev, OR hit up Mike on Instagram @StraightEdgeJuggalo.

On October 14, 2016 University of Minnesota archaeologist Steve Kosiba met a panel of CIAMS students (Kelli Breeden, Andrew Crocker, Perri Gerard-Little, Katie Jarriel, and Sam Sanft) and faculty (Adam Smith, host) to discuss materiality, constructions of value, and placemaking among the Inka.

Today is an extremely important topic, not just for those of us involved in agriculture, but for everyone.  My colleague, Andy Crocker, is an Extension Program Specialist in Gerontology and Health with Texas A&M Agrilife Extension.  We talk about the importance of having conversations and thinking through our plans and desires concerning our end of life planning.  From determining who will serve as an agent under a Power of Attorney, to ensuring that everyone understands your wishes in an Advanced Healthcare Directive, there are a number of considerations and conversations that need to be had.  We also talk through several key documents that people should consider drafting, including the Advanced Healthcare Directive, medical Power of Attorney, Power of Attorney, and, depending on the circumstances, an Out-of-Hospital Do Not Resuscitate Order.  We discuss the difference in these documents and the requirements to draft them in Texas. Finally, we focus on issues surrounding long-term care planning, including medicare qualification, the look-back period, and the estate recovery program.   Contact Info for Andy Crocker Website: https://amarillo.tamu.edu/facultystaff/andrew-crocker-m-s/  Email: abcrocker@ag.tamu.edu Phone: (806)677-5600 ext. 664 Twitter: https://twitter.com/abcrocker    Links to Info Mentioned on the Show Texas-specific statutory forms for POA, medical POA, advanced healthcare directive, and DNRs Resources to locate info for other states Article on long-term care planning Guide to the Medicade Estate Recovery Program

Can law enforcement force you to divulge your passwords? How do you limit the scope of a search warrant on an iPhone? Is powerful encryption technology creating ‘warrant-free zones’ in cyberspace? Or are we actually in the Golden Age of Surveillance? Today I speak with Andrew Crocker (Staff Attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation) about how our Constitutional rights work in cyberspace. We’ll talk about the locked iPhone in the Texas mass shooting case and discuss how it relates to the San Bernardino case from 2015 and the Crypto Wars of the 1990’s.

I think we can all agree that 2017 was an unusual year. It was intense, confusing, emotional. A little less than a year ago, as I decided to resume another “season” of episodes, I was determined to focus on community and on positivity through art and creative expression. At least, that’s what I told myself, and it’s also what I told you. In the introduction to the first episode of 2017, an interview with jazz club owner and musician Spike Wilner, I said  “I want to look at the role of community in supporting individual voices and in contextualizing those voices.” As the year quickly comes to an end, I decided to look back at a year’s worth of episodes to see if I delivered on that promise, and to figure out what were the big questions and the major themes that emerged. With the benefit of even just a little bit of hindsight, I can see that indeed the theme of community informed the whole journey. Featuring Spike Wilner, Michael Dorf, Adam Schatz, Dave Jemilo, Ben Wendel, George Colligan, Irv Williams, Mark Davis, Jeff Hamann, Andrew Crocker, Peter Giron, Billy Peterson, Benji Rogers, Ralph Simon, Ryan Gruss, David Garibaldi, Jack Stratton.  www.third-story.com

The tradition of American expatriate jazz musicians in Europe goes back a hundred years. What leads musicians to move halfway across the world to a place where they don’t speak the language, hold no currency, and are strangers? Love, what else? Both of the guys I’m talking to today, bassist Peter Giron and trumpeter Andrew Crocker, went to France with little or no understanding of what they were getting themselves into other than the desire to be with a woman, and maybe a sense that they didn’t fully fit where they came from. And both of them have become fully integrated into the French scene. Today they are not so much expatriates as they are immigrants. It’s a distinction that I was not really prepared for when I approached these interviews and it really got me thinking about what it means to be American, and what it means to be an immigrant.   Visit Third-story.com for everything you want to know about the podcast and then when you still need to know more, go to patreon.com/thirdstorypodcast and put your argent where your bouche is.
