Kurt Becker's Stroll Through Racing History presented by Keeneland - Kurt looks back at the racing career of Princess Doreen

In this sharp and often hilarious episode of Why We Vote, CannCon and Ashe in America finally tackle David Becker's hour-long meltdown over President Trump's recent election integrity executive order, and it's everything they hoped it would be. Becker, co-founder of the ERIC voter roll system and former recipient of Zuckerbucks, held a private briefing for elections officials meant to calm nerves… but ended up exposing the very corruption Trump's order is designed to root out. Ashe and Cann fact-check Becker in real time, dismantling his claims about state authority, election funding, and the so-called independence of commissions like the EAC. They walk through the tangled web of NGOs, voter roll manipulation, and federal overreach masquerading as decentralized “support,” highlighting how Becker's “expert class” narrative crumbles under its own contradictions. They also expose the shady origins of the ERIC system, Zuckerberg-funded NGO pipelines in swing states, and why proof of citizenship, especially for overseas voters, is the establishment's biggest fear. Plus: real-time laughs, side rants on early voting, a surprise Trump press conference with RFK and Dr. Oz, and a whole lot of frog-in-the-throat ramen metaphors. Spoiler: David Becker gets roasted. Repeatedly.

Today, Hunter spoke with Heather Rogers and Caitlin Becker of the Santa Cruz County Public Defenders. In 2020, the Sixth Amendment Center put together a report detailing the severe issues with how Santa Cruz County provided Public Defense. At the time, a law firm was working a flat rate fee contract to provide public defender services in the county. As is expected, that system was deeply flawed and couldn't meet the demands of the Sixth Amendment. Fast forward five years, Heather, Caitlin, and the team at the Santa Cruz County Public Defender has transformed the office into a comprehensive holistic defender program. How did that happen? What are the benefits of this model? All those questions and more on today's episode!   Guest Heather Rogers, The Public Defender, Santa Cruz County, California Caitlin Becker, Director of Holistic Defense, Santa Cruz County, California   Resources:   Read the 6AC Report Here https://6ac.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/6AC_ca_santacruzcountyreport_2020.pdf Contact Santa Cruz County Public Defenders Here https://www.santacruzdefenders.us/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/heather-rogers-3525b4242/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtvUi9TWRyNIOvEwgHN87KA https://www.facebook.com/CruzDefenders# https://www.instagram.com/cruzdefender/ https://x.com/cruzdefender     Contact Hunter Parnell:                                 Publicdefenseless@gmail.com  Instagram @PublicDefenselessPodcast Twitter                                                                 @PDefenselessPod www.publicdefenseless.com  Subscribe to the Patron www.patreon.com/PublicDefenselessPodcast  Donate on PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=5KW7WMJWEXTAJ Donate on Stripe https://donate.stripe.com/7sI01tb2v3dwaM8cMN Trying to find a specific part of an episode?

Bush.I wanted to interview Jean as soon as I heard about Character Matters.I am writing this on election day knowing this episode will be released tomorrow, November 6, 2024.  No matter the outcome of the election, half of our country will be distressed and demoralized by its outcome. The example of the life and service of President Bush is a message that our seemingly divided country needs now more than ever.Jean Becker served as chief of staff for President George H.W. Bush for nearly twenty-five years. She's the editor of Pearls of Wisdom by Barbara Bush and author of the New York Times bestseller The Man I Knew: The Amazing Story of George H.W. Bush's Post Presidency. Her latest book, Character Matters: And Other Life Lessons from George H.W. Bush, was released in April 2024.In this episode, Jean tells hilarious, poignant, and compelling stories about President Bush. She shares anecdotes about how President Bush cast political differences aside, embraced bipartisanship and put his country before himself.  From calls with world leaders, to befriending his SNL impersonator Dana Carvey to enlisting George Clooney for a hospital opening because he loved his character on ER, Character Matters is a collection of essays from those who knew him best.  In today's political climate, all of us should embrace the life lessons and legacy of George H.W.

SEASON 2 - EPISODE 136 - Judy Becker - Production Designer In this episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, we speak with production designer Judy Becker (THE BRUTALIST, CAROL, BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN).

Having worked in a number of projects across many different periods of history, Judy shares how she approaches bringing those spaces to life, and we reflect on the fact that absolute accuracy to a period doesn't always look real on the screen. Later, during our discussion of her work on THE BRUTALIST, Judy reflects on the challenges of communicating with a crew whose language is nothing like her own, and she reveals how they fought for scraps of plywood and found (and built) post-war America in Hungary. Judy also shares how she approached designing The Institute—the architectural centerpiece of the film—and she reveals how they used the scale model they built in the actual shoot.

If you're a founder doing at least $3M/year in sales, check out Hampton: https://www.joinhampton.com/.There is no amount of money that will make you happy. There is also no amount that will stop making you more happy. Both of those things are true.Our producer is not rich. But she has talked to 100+ people who are, and she (I) has learned a lot about your kind (is that wrong to say?).In the Moneywise pilot, we asked the question “at what point will more money stop making you happy”. Turns out, that was a pretty stupid question. So in this episode, we're fixing that.This is an episode of Moneywise unlike any other. This is a solo essay-style inside-outsider's take on wealth and happiness, based on the past year of peaking behind the curtain at what truly makes millionaires lives better… and worse. Backed up by quotes from our guests and of course, real studies.Here's what we talk about:Money doesn't make you happy. It can only remove stress.The “happiness number” is a myth but knowing your “freedom number” changes everything.Most people don't want money, they want the freedom they think money will give them.Hitting your financial goal won't feel like you imagined.Founders often feel lost post-exit because they unknowingly traded hope for cash.Wealth adds new stress.Money can't buy you meaningful experiences, and you need to stop thinking it can.If you expect money to do the emotional heavy lifting in your life, you will never be satisfied.Money is the key, not the door. It unlocks your potential but it won't add anything more to your life.Cool Links:Hampton https://www.joinhampton.com/Lower Street https://www.lowerstreet.co/Chapters:(00:00) Introduction and Confession(00:35) Reflecting on 50 Episodes(02:24) Revisiting the Happiness Threshold(03:09) Money as a Subtractive Tool(03:48) The Freedom Number vs. Happiness(05:07) Studies and Research on Wealth and Happiness(14:39) The Hedonic Treadmill and Wealth's Paradox(17:45) Hope and the Entrepreneur's Journey(25:26) Concluding Thoughts and Freedom NumbersThis podcast is a ridiculous concept: high-net-worth people reveal their personal finances.Inspired by real conversations happening in the Hampton community.You Host - Jackie LamportNot really the host, but the producer.Wrote this sentence.Older than I appear, I promise.References:Kahneman, D., & Deaton, A.
