Note: We are back from parental leave! This episode was originally released August 22nd, 2024. We are re-airing it today in light of New York Governor Kathy Hochul's ongoing push to force a mask ban through New York state budget negotiations, as Artie explains in a brief intro at the top of the episode. Please note that the county-level mask ban discussed in this episode was implemented last year; as we discussed in our episode Covid Year Five, within a week of implementation the law was used to arrest an individual for masking in circumstances that sound like a revival of New York's racist stop and frisk initiative. Original description: Beatrice, Artie and Jules discuss the mask ban passed in Nassau County last week, the latest in a dramatic rise in legislation criminalizing face masks and targeting the Palestine solidarity movement. We look at what happened in the overtly hostile public hearing over the ban, the history of the New York statute that ban proponents want back, and how the threat of mask bans goes far beyond public health: mask bans embolden racist policing; they're anti-trans; and they target the whole of the left.

"Poverty plan hit for fraud, waste," reported the Associated Press in 1966. "Study says government waste is unbelievable,” insisted United Press International in 1983. "Beneath Trump's Chaotic Spending Freeze: An Idea That Crosses Party Lines," announced The New York Times in January of this year. It's an argument that dates back decades, even centuries: Government is bloated, spending wastefully, and enabling widespread fraud and abuse. The only solution to this waste, fraud, and abuse is to root it out. Cutting salaries, personnel, or entire programs or agencies, it follows, will streamline government bodies, saving millions to billions of dollars.  But who gets to decide what's “wasteful” in the first place? How are these concepts routinely racialized? What effect does it have on a public dependent on social programs and essential government services like safety inspections? And why should governments be expected to “save” money, when their job—at least in theory— isn't to make money in the first place, but—again in theory—improve the welfare of its citizens? On this episode, we detail the past and present of the “waste, fraud, and abuse” framing, looking at how it's long been used to justify the degradation of essential social programs; mischaracterize governments as businesses; and weaken protections for workers, renters, and everyone else who isn't a capital-owning member of the elite.  Our guest is Death Panel's Beatrice Adler-Bolton.

This episode was originally released for patrons on February 10th, and we are unlocking it today as threats to cut Medicaid and Social Security have only grown louder and more explicit since it was recorded (and as our central comments on the nature of "waste, fraud and abuse" rhetoric remain, unfortunately, enduringly relevant). We're back from our parental leave (!) next Monday in the patron feed with new episodes, and will certainly be picking up where this conversation left off very soon. To support the show and help make episodes like this one possible, become a patron at www.patreon.com/deathpanelpod Beatrice, Artie and Phil discuss how Trump and Musk's DOGE increasingly seems poised to go after Medicare and Social Security, how the constant refrain that Republicans are looking to cut “waste, fraud and abuse” in social spending is a lie meant to obscure their real agenda, and why the open plot to add work requirements to Medicaid would be a tremendous disaster.

Beatrice and Phil speak with lifelong activist William Bronston about his experiences trying to take down the infamous Willowbrook institution from within as a young doctor, his appeal to replace “long term care” with “lifetime care," and how his work towards deinstitutionalization informs his ongoing advocacy for single payer healthcare.

Beatrice speaks with Victoria Law about how prisons and jails have acted as vectors of covid transmission throughout the pandemic, the experiences of people on the inside from early in the pandemic through fights happening now over long covid in incarcerated people, and why it's still not too late to bring back a common demand from 2020: to free them all for public health.

Beatrice speaks with William Boyd about how “risk assessment” became a central focus of health safety and environmental law since the 1970s, and how the political and economic factors that structure how those risks are assessed have resulted in law and policy far less likely to protect against environmental and health hazards.

Bea, Artie, and Phil discuss the pervasive, perennial myth that the Medicare and Social Security trust funds are on the brink of imminent collapse, a myth that feeds austerity in policymaking and false panic that the programs "won't be around" when younger generations grow old--and that Trump and Musk's DOGE are currently taking advantage of to press for cuts.

Beatrice and Jules speak with Melissa Gira Grant about the Trump administration's anti-trans executive orders in the context of their broader attack on “wokeness” and DEI. We discuss what the broader impact of these orders could be, what elements are a retread of longstanding rightwing attacks on trans life, and what parts of them seem like a new and evolved form of attack.

To support the show and help make episodes like this one possible, become a patron at www.patreon.com/deathpanelpod Beatrice and Artie discuss Trump's nomination of prominent anti-vaxxer Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to head the Department of Health and Human Services, the agency overseeing healthcare, infectious disease, food safety, and more. We discuss some of RFK's more unseemly beliefs, the responses to his nomination so far, and how his nomination doesn't come out of nowhere, but instead follows decades of struggles over the political economy of health that have laid the groundwork for a figure like him to come into power.

Original description: Beatrice speaks with Tracy Rosenthal about the pending Supreme Court ruling that could dramatically strip the rights of unhoused people in the US, how politicians frequently invoke a rhetoric of “care” to promote expansions of the carceral system, and how the laws at the center of this Supreme Court case are the same being used to police and sweep solidarity encampments across the US.

There was a moment in time when the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were considering rounding up Americans and throwing them into concentration camps, under the guise of “shielding” them from the seasonal flu. The stigmatization, isolation, and emotional distress caused by being rounded up and separated from their families for an indeterminate amount of time were features, not bugs. Details about prioritizing medical resources away from high-risk people, meaning older Americans, harken back to Bill Gates discussing the need for Death Panels in his New World Order. The document is real, “Interim Operational Considerations for Implementing theShielding Approach to Prevent COVID-19 Infections in Humanitarian Settings”, and the CDC released it during the Summer of Love in 2020. It is the American government's medical concentration camp manifesto, so pay attention.

This episode was originally released for Death Panel patrons on September 23rd. To support the show and help make episodes like this one possible, become a patron at www.patreon.com/deathpanelpod Beatrice and Jules discuss an amicus brief Jules co-authored for the Supreme Court case United States v. Skrmetti, a case heard at the court this week that could have a dramatic impact on young people's access to medical transition. We talk through the brief and the historical evidence it contains dispelling popular myths that trans kids are new or that transition is itself dangerous, and show that medical transition and youth transition have histories stretching back far further than popular accounts would lead you to believe.

Beatrice and Artie discuss the impact that some of Trump's most recent picks to lead major federal agencies will have on the state of welfare programs and healthcare in the US, and why the whole slate of names should be raising as much alarm as Trump's pick of RFK. We walk through how Dr. Oz stands to personally benefit from privatizing Medicare, what anti-vaxxer Dave Weldon could easily do as head of the CDC, why Jay Bhattacharya at NIH and Marty Makary at FDA could harm the future of long covid research, and more.

Today's Headlines: Donald Trump's second-term cabinet is coming together fast. Hedge fund CEO Scott Bessent, a former George Soros employee and respected strategist, has been picked for Treasury Secretary. Other key roles include Lori Chavez-DeRemer for Labor, Scott Turner for HUD, and Brooke Rollins for Agriculture. Matt Gaetz, meanwhile, says he's leaving Congress after eight years to focus on supporting Trump from the sidelines. The DOJ is pushing to break up Google, proposing that it sell Chrome and Android to restore competition in online search. Google isn't thrilled, calling the plan “wildly overboard,” with closing arguments happening today. In Texas, the state board of education approved a Bible-based curriculum for public elementary schools, offering schools $60 per student as an incentive to adopt it. And in Georgia, the maternal death oversight panel was abruptly dismissed after whistleblowers exposed preventable deaths linked to the state's abortion ban. State officials say the leak violated the law, but critics call it an attempt to silence accountability.

As such, today's Death Panel is an episode in two parts: Part One — One Year (0:00:00 - 0:20:45) A statement on one year of genocide from us at Death Panel through parts of three texts from the past year. Part Two — Body Politics w/ Jasbir Puar (originally released November 21st, 2022) Beatrice and Jules speak with Jasbir Puar about the violent global effects of settler colonialism and how they shape our understanding of what we mean by “disability” and “debility.” We discuss how events like the ongoing genocide in Gaza and the bombings in 2014 are often described through the number of dead, when they also entail mass disablement and mass debilitation, and how colonial occupation itself can be understood through a theory of debility.

Beatrice speaks with Mon Mohapatra, Tracy Rosenthal and Victoria Law about how the rhetorics of “care,” support, and empathy are often deployed to expand and reinforce carcerality—to make carcerality appear innocuous, or even an expansion of social welfare and public health. Transcript forthcoming. This episode was recorded live at the 2024 Socialism Conference in Chicago in early September, under the session title "Carewashing: Carcerality Disguised as Social Welfare." We collaborated with conference organizers to host five discussions there over labor day weekend. Recordings and transcripts of those sessions will be released over the coming weeks.

Beatrice speaks with Rasha Abdulhadi about how, as we near 11 months and 100+ years of genocidal settler colonial violence in Palestine, it is vital to remain steadfast in our demands for Palestinian liberation. We discuss turning away from despair towards patience and boldness in our actions, why our demands must push for and beyond “ceasefire,” and draw connections between settler colonialism here and in Palestine; inviting us all to become more skillful in keeping each other alive.
