Podcast appearances and mentions of Dianne Feinstein

"Why Are We Still Governed by Baby Boomers and the Remarkably Old?," inquires The New York Times. "Why Do Such Elderly People Run America?," The Atlantic wonders. "Gerontocracy Is Hurting Democracy," insists New York Magazine's Intelligencer. "Too old to run again? Biden faces questions about his age as crises mount," The Guardian reports.   Though these headlines are framed as exploratory questions, news media seem to have their minds made up: the problem with Washington is that it's chock full of geezers. In recent years, we've often heard that U.S. policymaking, helmed at the federal level by seventy- and eighty-somethings like Donald Trump, Joe Biden, and Nancy Pelosi, and at the state level by the similarly aged Dianne Feinstein, Chuck Grassley and Pat Leahy, is simply growing too old and out of touch with the electorate.   There's some credence to this, of course. It's certainly true that those occupying the most powerful positions in U.S. government, on the whole, don't legislate to the needs of the public – whether on healthcare, policing, education – the list goes on and on. But is that really because of legislators' age? Why does age have to be the focus in this analysis, rather than policy positions and, relatedly, class interests, which exist independent of age? Who does it serve to reduce the causes of U.S. austerity politics and violence to pat, Pepsi marketing-style "generation gap" discourse? On this episode show, we detail how "generations" analysis is ineffectual and, more often than not, misses the mark. We'll discuss how fears of a "gerontocracy" can – if not in intent, in effect – malign old age itself, stigmatize the elderly and, above all, distract from what could be a substantive critical analysis of real, more profound vectors of oppression such as class, racism, sexism and anti-LGBTQ currents.   Our guest in Winslow Erik Wright.

Episode 55: We are weeks away from elections that could affect control of Congress, along with the political futures of states across this nation. Some issues — such as differences on tax policy or school budgets — are relatively easy to discuss, but when the topic turns to the health of one of the candidates, things quickly get tricky. Rick Kyte and Scott Rada discuss how much voters should know about the health of the candidates who appear on the ballot, and what's the ethical way for a challenger to bring up the medical challenges facing an opponent? Links to stories discussed during the podcast: John Fetterman has lingering speech issues after his stroke. What's the impact on his Senate run?, by Julia Terruso, The Philadelphia Inquirer A worrying phone call adds to concerns about Sen. Dianne Feinstein's cognitive health, by Amina Kilpatrick, National Public Radio Most Americans want maximum age limit for elected officials, WDAF-TV A politician's mental health is as crucial as a pilot's.

Have you ever wondered how so many former members of Congress leave Washington D.C. far wealthier than when they got there? Well, a New York Times analysis may help answer that question. It found 97 lawmakers or their families bought or sold financial assets over a three-year span in industries that could be affected by their legislative committee work. One of them is Senator Dianne Feinstein. Two others are House members here in southern California. We go In Depth.  That looming rail workers strike could have a major immediate impact on the economy.  Speaking of the economy, we could soon see a spike in layoffs in the white collar world.  Queen Elizabeth has left Buckingham Palace for the final time. People are now lining up in London to view her coffin and pay their final respects.  The death of the queen has raised issues about colonialism. We go In Depth into the queen's legacy when it comes to that issue.  The CDC has a new health alert about respiratory illnesses in kids and the chance of them developing something even worse.  More and more people around the country are no longer identifying as Christian. We try to find out why.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

HONOR THY FATHER AND MOTHER. So says the scripture. It is not a suggestion but a commandment. In today's Cancel Culture, it is more often ignored than followed, like so many other so–called commandments. The BIBLICAL TEN are far more often ignored than observed. In time's past, we the children were ordered to respect our elders, and especially our parents. That included doctors, lawyers and above all ministers and pastors. And, for the most part, that respect was also required for our political leaders whether or not we agreed with their political philosophy. It was presumed that the older they got, the better they were, wiser, more mature, deeper in experience, experts in so many things, WISDOM AT WORK. But today, as our culture changes, and so–called millennials take root and now GEN Z, whoever they are, respect for age and the elderly seems to wane if it exists at all. It was always assumed that politicians of all stripes, no matter their politics, were loyal Americans, loving our Country, believing in and taking the oath of allegiance to the greatest Country in the history of mankind, our beloved America. They our leaders were men and women who never shied away from our problems, did their very best to solve them but never with any thought of radical change (the end of democracy and our republic and the institution of socialism or worse) and would work together for good with all others, always with the goal of making America better. But today, that seems to have changed and radically so. There are those who would radically change our Country from its present status of republic with democracy to socialism or even worse. There are elected officials in House and Senate who are a valid socialist (i.e., Bernie Sanders) or perhaps even deep at heart communist sympathizers. There are those in the pulpit who would water down Christianity, prune the Gospel and even eliminate fundamental, basic Christian tenants. There are today those lawyers and judges who have little or no respect for the law, the Constitution, for objectivity and justice. A certain chaos, uncertainty, even fear exists in our Country today because of these subversive forces at work. Respect for our revolution and revolutionaries, our Declaration of Independence, the war of independence and of course our beloved Constitution decreases every day. The younger generation seems to have little respect for American institutions, traditions, and especially history which, with things at work like the 1619 Project, Critical Race Theory and more seek to change or eliminate so much of what was once the backbone, the fundamentals of our beloved America. Age and the maturity and wisdom it supposedly brings not only is not respected, but age seems more so to generate disrespect.That is especially true in Washington D.C. It is so very interesting how so many of our leaders, our elected officials are aging. The New York Post quoted the following:“WASHINGTON'S LEADERS ARE OLD AND VOTERS ARE BEGINNING TO NOTICE.”Begin with President Joe Biden who evidences a growing “apparent cognitive decline”. Hear the quote of the New York Post. Biden:“SHUFFLES ALONG, STRUGGLES TO READ TELEPROMPTERS AND REGULARLY MAKES GAFFES OR UTTERS INCOHERENT SENTENCES, HAS DRAWN SCRUTINY TO WASHINGTON'S CADRE OF AGING LAWMAKERS.”This is the man who, amongst so many other one–man–powers can decide to unleash nuclear warfare and with any such guaranteed reaction, destroy the world. President Joseph Biden will be 80 YEARS OLD IN NOVEMBER. Joe Biden is the oldest person ever elected to the White House and even a growing number of his own Democratic Party do not want him to even consider running for reelection in 2024. More of our federal leaders are even older than Joe Biden. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is 82 years old. Pelosi has emphatically stated that she intends to run for Congress again in 2022. Nancy Pelosi, who is serving her fourth term as Speaker of the House, pledged privately to her caucus four years ago that she would not run for Democratic Leader (Speaker of the House) again after this year, even though she will seek reelection for a 19th term as congress person from San Francisco. We would assume that Pelosi, with all those years of political experience, and the wisdom of the age of 82 would be a formidable and respectable political leader. In fact in most quarters, and including many in her own Democratic Party, she garners little respect, age notwithstanding.Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnel of Kentucky is 80 years old. Many republicans, with perhaps little respect for McConnel hopes he does not run for reelection for another term.Patrick Leahy, the Democrat Senator from Vermont is 82 years old. By the way, Leahy is third in line for the presidency in the event succession to Biden is required. Senator Richard Shelby of Alabama, the top republican on the powerful Appropriations Community and a key negotiator on all major spending deals is 88 years old. One can only wonder whether or not Shelby, with all those years of experience can be considered wise and right for America. Democrat Senator from California, Diane Feinstein is 89 years old. She has a certain cognitive decline and many in her own party hope she does not seek reelection. If she did and if she were, she would be 95 years old when her reelected term expired.Then there is Senator Charles E. Grassley, republican from Iowa who is running for his 8th senate term at age 88 years old. If he wins, Mr. Grassley would be 95 at the end of his 9th term. Iowa voters seem unconcerned about Grassley's age. He visits all 99 Iowa counties every year and is known for his 4:00am jogs six days a week!President Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) was elected president for four consecutive terms. That prompted the American people and the necessary majority of our states to pass the Constitutional amendment which limited the presidency to two terms, eight years. There is no such term limit for members of the House of Representatives or United States Senators. They can be elected ‘til death do us part over and over again. But all such reelections come with the citizen assumption that these men and women are loyal Americans, avid believers in and supporters of the Constitution and the rule of law, and with their AGE and political experience, bring wisdom to office and the mature leadership America needs so desperately in this day and age. Unfortunately, in so many cases, that is not happening. Ever–growing age is no guarantee that it brings to public life the wisdom, experience and maturity which every leader of our great Country must possess. How We the People need true Americans in office, as leaders who are moral, right–thinking patriotic individuals, determined to make decisions and do what is right for us, THE ELECTORS, and view office and the power it brings as a privilege, not a career and, as our Founding Fathers intended, “return home” when the time is right. Look at the age, my fellow Americans, of candidates for office, federal, state and local and consider that as an important factor as you determine how to vote. Age does not disqualify by any means and in fact can be positive. But age can also bring cognitive and physical decline which can be harmful to America, and the wise and mature functioning and decision–making of our federal and state governments. We the People are charged with the duty as citizens to determine who should be our leaders, and it is incumbent upon us to make the right decisions. The leaders we elect affect not only America, but the world at large. America has been the world's leading nation, the Country most people the world over would love to inhabit. The leadership, the decision–making of our politicians done right, morally and politically, greatly influences the entire world. Think of that awesome responsibility, my fellow Americans, when you vote. That is why it is so critical that the vote of every citizen be well–informed, objective, and right for the election of the right leader and the creation of a better America going forward. If in fact age brings wisdom and maturity, then age is a desirable even necessary component for the right political leadership. Honor, says the scripture, the elderly, honor the wise and mature. The right American leaders and decisionmakers are more critical and important today than ever before. What America is and what it becomes is up to YOU AND ME. America is no better than our right vote. Think of that awesome responsibility, my fellow Americans, when in November, you head for that vitally important voting booth!

Welcome back to the Hangin' With Wang Podcast. I'm Nate Wangler, alongside my broadcast partner Aj Mohr as we get set for one of the biggest showdowns in baseball history as the all-time Republicans square off against the all-time Democrats. In a showdown for the ages (with some extracurricular activities), the Dems and Republicans throw down for bragging rights. 1:32-10:47: Scene setter and lineups - Aj and Wang break down both teams and what to expect from both teams. Wang also explains a late scratch to the Democrats lineup.  12:47-15:49: Benches-clearing brawl after a pitch high and tight to Ben Shapiro. 19:58: Hillary Clinton flashing the leather. 25:07: Rachel Maddow hits a bombski to put the Democrats up 1-0 in the first inning. 30:33: William Howard Taft with the miraculous catch falling over the dugout railing. 31:36: We skip forward to the top of the ninth inning tied at 5-5. Andrew Jackson takes the bump for the Democrats to try and maintain the 5-5 lead heading into the ninth inning. 33:12: Taft hits a moonshot to left field to push the Republicans in front 6-5. 36:36: Bottom of the ninth inning, Richard Nixon takes the mound for the Republicans looking to slam the door. 39:15: Candace Owens robbing a game-tying home run. 40:52: Diane Feinstein ropes a single back up the middle to reach first base with the Democrats down to their final out. 41:58: Anderson Cooper delivers a two-run walk-off home run to down the Republicans in heartbreaking fashion, 7-6.  

Chris Rock says, “If everybody claims to be a victim, then nobody will hear the real victims.” Why can't football players talk this way? Here's what we learned from the NFL's investigation into the Miami Dolphins: Brian Flores is a snitch who embraced the identity of a victim. Ricci Wynne, a 36-year-old recovering drug addict is the hero that uses his Twitter feed to hold a mirror to the faces of Nancy Pelosi, Dianne Feinstein, and Kamala Harris.

San Francisco is in full blown "Lord of the Flies" descent. With the mainstream media ignoring the drug-riddled streets created by the failed policies of progressive politicians like Nancy Pelosi and Kamala Harris, a Bay Area native and recovering drug addict has taken to the streets to hold a mirror to those in power. Ricci Wynne recently served 36 months in prison for cocaine trafficking and gun charges. When he returned to his beloved hometown, he was shocked by the drug-riddled dystopia he found. “I love my city. It's just in demise,” he tells Jason. “I feel as though these policies that are being implemented in San Francisco don't help. It's so hard for me being a recovering addict, being a criminal, the odds are already stacked against me. It's hard for me to walk down the street and not be aggressively offered to buy or sell drugs.” The former felon turned viral crusader joins "Fearless" to discuss the motivations behind his pursuit for policy change, how sanctuary cities are providing a haven for international drug trade, and to share a disturbing view of the reality on the streets of San Fran. "Fearless" contributor Steve Kim stops in to talk NFL. The league is appealing Deshaun Watson's suspension, but not for the reason you think. Plus, ESPN actually provided content that Jason and Steven enjoyed, sort of.    We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

The Roman Catholic archbishop of San Francisco is urging U.S. senators to reject the pending Respect for Marriage Act, which would protect same-sex marriage from a potential rollback by the Supreme Court. “People who experience same-sex attraction should be treated with the same respect and compassion as anyone, on account of their human dignity, and never be subject to unjust discrimination,” Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone wrote in a July 22 “Dear Senator” letter posted on the website of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. “It was never discrimination, however, to simply maintain that an inherent aspect of the definition of marriage itself is the complementarity between the two sexes.”  Justice Clarence Thomas said the court should revisit those rulings. Despite some Republican support in the House, the Senate version of the Respect for Marriage Act — which was co-authored by California Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein —faces a difficult road.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today we're looking at crazy fires that have lasted for decades: from coal mines in Pennsylvania to gas pits in Turkmenistan. We're also looking at politicians that just don't seem to know when to retire, like Joe Biden and Diane Feinstein.

Scott and Guy Marzorati discuss the House vote to recognize same-sex marriage on the federal level and local criticism to the federal response to the monkeypox outbreak. Then, Board of Equalization chair Malia Cohen joins to discuss her childhood in San Francisco, the meeting with then-mayor Dianne Feinstein that changed her life, her experience at Lowell High School and her run for state Controller.

Joe Buscaino comes on the show to talk about the primary election. People care more about the presidential election than local elections. Diane Feinstein had an interview with The Cut. CNN ratings continue to plummet.

Between a piece on “the left's” positions on Ukraine, the NYT's coverage of the death of Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, and Rebecca Traister's new profile of Dianne Feinstein, the theme of today's episode is “looking the truth in the face and ignoring the most obvious conclusion.”

Back in February, frustrated San Francisco parents voted to recall three school board members for spending more time renaming schools than planning their post-pandemic re-opening. Among the school names being “canceled” were Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, John Muir, and even Dianne Feinstein – found guilty of exploitation and oppression. The pervasiveness of so-called critical race theory in school curriculums is not brand new, although it appears that remote learning during COVID caused many parents to start paying attention and to express their disapproval at the ballot box.The recall was a strong sign, like the ousting of Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe, that most Americans still believe that schools should be in the education business, not the indoctrination industry. The term critical race theory has been thrown around a lot in the conversations surrounding the appropriate way to teach American history. Oddly, the proponents and defenders of critical race theory seem afraid to admit that it is already being taught in many places (as if they had a guilty conscience), while its detractors often seem confused about what they are opposing.Thus, Heritage Foundation fellow Jonathan Butcher has done the American public a great service with his new book, Splintered: Critical Race Theory and the Progressive War on Truth. The book charts the evolution of the idea in understandable terms, from its Marxian roots in academia, through the law schools, and now trickling down into grade schools across the country. Forget the universities – they're too far gone. But can we still save elementary school kids from being lectured about privilege, while minority students are taught that they can't advance because of system racism in the United States?Butcher's book is a powerful antidote to the ignorance on both sides of the issue. If we are to preserve America's founding ideals, parents and policymakers must read and understand the ideas they are protesting. Butcher and I discussed the main points from his book. Be sure to subscribe to the mailing list for a condensed summary of the book, plus show highlights and announcements.

In today's episode, Willy welcomes Michael Bennet. Holding public office as the U.S. Senator for Colorado since 2009, Michael is driven by “an obligation to create more opportunity for the next generation.” He has built a strong reputation as a source of pragmatic and independent thinking, uniting Democrats and Republicans in tackling the country's toughest issues, such as early childhood education, climate change, healthcare, and national security. His unfailing heart for service began even before his senatorial stint, helping to restructure failed businesses and creating the world's largest movie theater chain, AMC. Starting off, Willy asks Michael about the reasons behind his career choice as a politician. Michael expresses gratitude to have contributed to Denver Public Schools as a superintendent, describing his past work experiences have widened his perspective on business and service. Being born in New Delhi, he disbelieves it to be a hurdle in his 2019 presidential campaign. He fondly talks about his father, Douglas J. Bennet, and his term as an editor for Yale Law Review, describing it as “the most luxurious three years of his life.” Michael then retells his experience working with Dick Celeste and how he reached the conclusion, “I wasn't put on this earth to practice law. I just didn't enjoy it.” He continues his journey by buying up Regal Cinemas, creating the largest motion picture exhibitor in the world. Michael reminisces on the day he was sworn in as senator, describing how former Colorado governor Ben Ritter made the historical appointment possible. He characterizes Colorado as “a crucible of American politics” as he relentlessly strives to protect the honor of Ritter's decision. Michael remains firm on his stance on exerting more efforts on climate change and how the West is suffering from a water shortage. “One of my great frustrations is that we've done a terrible job,” he says. Another pressing issue is the negative effects of inflation on the current U.S. economy as the average American citizen works tirelessly yet is still unable to afford housing, healthcare, and education. He urges the market to consider onshore manufacturing to maintain ethically-run supply chains. As one of the powerful forces behind the Build Back Better Act, Michael laments that “it's going to be very hard to get it over to the finish line.” He also provides his two cents on the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, stating it as solid proof that democracy will always win over totalitarianism. He believes underestimating the Ukrainian people was a huge mistake on Putin's part and that balance in leadership is needed to figure out the best strategy for overcoming nationwide attacks. As a qualified lawyer, Michael gives his perspective on the Roe v. Wade leak and the importance of voting for people who believe in women's rights and are pro-choice. Even as a gun owner himself, Michael supports the move for universal background checks in connection to Colorado's dark history with gun violence. Despite this, he voted against Dianne Feinstein's legislation as he believed it was “an obsolete approach.” For the 2024 presidential elections, Michael predicts Joe Biden and Donald Trump running once again. Willy and Michael end the episode with Michael looking back on his viral speech on the Senate floor in 2013, speaking against Ted Cruz's call for a government shutdown.

Dianne Feinstein's colleagues are concerned the 88-year-old senator is struggling with memory loss, reports Tal Kopan of the San Francisco Chronicle. It's raising concerns about Feinstein's ability to do her job and the aging of America's politicians.

It's not funny anymore. Our country is being run by elderly career politicians who simply do not know the plight of the working class or the current state of the nation, and even worse, who are in cognitive decline. Recently, CA senator Diane Feinstein's staff members and others have anonymously reported that she can no longer fulfill the duties of her job. Yet somehow she still remains in her seat. How and when will we remove the mentally compromised from their government strongholds? USTL's Philip Blumel and Nick Tomboulides discuss. Also, term limits news updates in North Dakota and Missouri

Diane Feinstein says she will not step down after her mental capacity comes under question. Twitter adopts "poison pill" strategy after Elon Musk attempts targets the company.

Joe Biden is almost 80, and looks worse every day in terms of his cognition, but Democrats will keep pretending the senile emperor has clothes no matter how much he exposes himself in public. On video after a supply chain speech, it looked like he was shaking hands with a person who was not there. He's not alone in the being too old for the job category. Diane Feinstein's own staff says she can no longer perform her Senate duties- she's almost 90!- and yet again we see that Democrats have no principle other than the pursuit and utilization of power.    Please subscribe to the podcast!

Does California U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein, who's 88 and a giant of American politics, still have the mental fitness to do her job? According to reporting by San Francisco Chronicle Washington Correspondent Tal Kopan, there are many instances of the Senator's memory failing. Guest: Tal Kopan, Washington Correspondent, San Francisco Chronicle A bill to tighten COVID-19 vaccination requirements for California school children has stalled in the state legislature. Legislation from Sacramento State Senator Richard Pan would have closed the personal beliefs exemption, like the state has done for the measles vaccine.
