This Day in Legal History: Watergate Trial BeginsOn October 4, 1974, the trial of key Watergate conspirators began, marking a significant moment in American legal and political history. The defendants included top Nixon administration officials H.R. Haldeman, John Ehrlichman, John Mitchell, Robert Mardian, and Kenneth Parkinson. These men were accused of participating in the cover-up of the break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters, a scandal that would ultimately lead to President Nixon's resignation.The trial was presided over by Judge John Sirica, who had played a pivotal role in uncovering the truth behind Watergate. At the outset, the court reviewed transcripts of the now-infamous Watergate tapes, which had been secretly recorded by President Nixon in the Oval Office. These recordings captured critical conversations revealing the extent of the administration's involvement in the cover-up.The tapes provided key evidence, especially a June 23, 1972, conversation known as the "smoking gun" tape, in which Nixon and Haldeman discussed obstructing the FBI's investigation. The trial was part of the broader legal reckoning following Nixon's resignation two months earlier in August 1974.Haldeman and Ehrlichman, two of Nixon's closest aides, were found guilty of conspiracy, obstruction of justice, and perjury. John Mitchell, Nixon's former Attorney General, was also convicted on conspiracy charges. This trial helped close one chapter of the Watergate scandal, demonstrating the judicial system's role in holding even the highest-ranking officials accountable for abuses of power.A federal court has blocked President Biden's latest student debt relief plan, ruling it likely unconstitutional. The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri granted a preliminary injunction requested by a coalition of seven Republican-led states. Judge Matthew T. Schelp, who issued the ruling, emphasized the public interest in ensuring the government follows the law. The plan, which would have canceled debt for 27 million borrowers, is now paused.The plaintiffs argue the plan is an executive overreach. While Georgia was dismissed from the lawsuit for lacking standing, Missouri's Higher Education Loan Authority was found to have suffered an injury, giving Missouri standing to continue the case. This ruling temporarily halts the debt relief program as the court considers whether to permanently strike it down. The injunction is a blow to Biden's efforts to reduce student debt, following the U.S. Supreme Court's earlier decision in 2023 that struck down a broader relief plan. Another related plan, known as “SAVE,” which aims to provide zero-dollar payments and expedite forgiveness for some borrowers, is also under review by the Eighth Circuit Court. This decision prevents the debt relief plan from taking effect while the court evaluates the case, reflecting the court's consideration of the public interest and potential harm.Biden's Latest Student Debt Relief Plan Blocked by Federal CourtThe U.S. government has supported Nvidia investors in a Supreme Court case where they allege the company misled the market about its reliance on cryptocurrency mining sales. The Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed a brief urging the Court to allow the case to proceed, siding with the investors. The Ninth Circuit Court previously revived the class action, ruling that Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang made materially false or misleading statements about the company's revenue dependence on crypto mining, particularly before a 2018 market downturn.Nvidia disputes the case, claiming the investors' allegations were based on unreliable expert data. However, the DOJ and SEC argued that the claims were backed by multiple sources, including accounts from former employees, a Royal Bank of Canada report, Nvidia's own public statements, and SEC filings. These sources collectively suggest Nvidia earned $1.35 billion more from crypto sales during the boom than it disclosed.The government emphasized that the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act (PSLRA), which governs investor lawsuits, was not misapplied by the Ninth Circuit. It rejected Nvidia's argument that the case was based solely on unsubstantiated expert opinions, pointing out that the allegations were supported by sufficient evidence to infer Nvidia's intent to mislead investors.Nvidia Investors Backed by US in Supreme Court Crypto Sales CaseThe European Union's top court has ruled that Meta must limit the use of personal data collected from Facebook users for targeted advertising. This decision supports privacy advocate Max Schrems, who argued that Meta's personalized advertising violated privacy regulations by processing personal data without proper limitations. The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) emphasized that under the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the principle of data minimization restricts how much personal data companies can use for targeted ads.Meta responded by stating it has invested heavily in privacy features and does not use sensitive data for personalized ads. Schrems' lawyer welcomed the decision, saying it would significantly reduce the amount of data Meta and other companies can use for advertising, even when users consent. This ruling marks another victory for Schrems, who has repeatedly taken Meta to court over alleged GDPR violations.Meta must limit data use for targeted advertising, top EU court rules | ReutersCupertino, California, has reached a settlement with the state's Department of Tax and Fee Administration, allowing the city to retain millions in sales tax revenue tied to Apple's online sales through August 2024. The settlement resolves a dispute that began in 2021 when the department audited Cupertino's 26-year tax-sharing agreement with Apple. Under this agreement, Apple treated all in-state online sales as originating from Cupertino, directing a portion of the state sales tax to the city, which in turn shared 35% of the revenue with Apple.The tax department has scrutinized similar deals with other retailers like Best Buy and Williams-Sonoma, arguing that businesses need to show active participation in the transactions where the sales are reported. Last year, Cupertino set aside $56.5 million to potentially repay the state as the dispute escalated to $60.3 million by February 2024.The settlement avoids litigation, but the city did not disclose specific financial details or directly reference Apple in the announcement. It clarified that the agreement does not impact its tax-sharing arrangement with any taxpayer.Cupertino Settles With State in Apple Sales Tax-Sharing FightThis week's closing theme is by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.This week's closing theme is the Adagio lamentoso from Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 6 in B minor, Op. 74, also known as the "Pathétique" Symphony. Tchaikovsky composed this masterpiece in 1893, just a few months before his sudden and mysterious death. The "Pathétique" Symphony is widely regarded as his most personal and emotionally charged work, filled with profound sorrow and introspection.The fourth movement, "Adagio lamentoso," is the symphony's haunting conclusion. Unlike most symphonies, which end on a triumphant or uplifting note, Tchaikovsky chose to close his final symphony with this slow, lamenting movement. It reflects deep melancholy and resignation, expressing a sense of despair that resonates with listeners. The music ebbs and flows between quiet, intimate passages and moments of overwhelming intensity, capturing the fragility and tragedy of life.Tchaikovsky was known for his ability to express raw emotion through music, and the "Adagio lamentoso" exemplifies this talent. The theme's descending lines seem to mirror a downward spiral into sorrow, giving it an almost funereal quality. Some have speculated that the symphony reflects Tchaikovsky's own inner turmoil and struggles, adding a layer of poignancy to the already emotional score.As you listen to the "Finale" this week, take note of its deep, somber beauty and how Tchaikovsky blends anguish with moments of quiet reflection. It's a fitting close to a symphony that grapples with life's most profound emotions.Without further ado, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 6 in B minor, Op. 74, the Pathetique Symphony.

We hear that politics have never been like they are today! Let's look back at the Watergate scandal that rocked the nation and brought it to a complete standstill. Trust in the government has never recovered. Was that the purpose of it? What was Watergate? Many of the questions surrounding it have never been answered and it seems to have been relegated to an afterthought. So, let's dive in shall we?Email us at: downtherh@protonmail.com

This Day in Legal History: Watergate Figures SentencedToday in legal history, February 21 marks a significant moment in the annals of American jurisprudence and the power of the presidency. On this day in 1975, three key figures from President Richard Nixon's administration were handed prison sentences for their roles in the Watergate scandal, an event that would forever alter the landscape of political accountability and legal oversight in the United States. Former US Attorney General John Mitchell, Nixon's Chief of Staff H.R. Haldeman, and domestic adviser John Ehrlichman were convicted of obstructing justice, each receiving sentences ranging from 2 1/2 to 8 years. This landmark decision underscored the principle that no one, regardless of their position in government, is above the law. The sentencing followed a scandal that began with the break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate office complex and spiraled into a cover-up that led to President Nixon's resignation—the only resignation of a U.S. President to date. The trial and subsequent convictions of Mitchell, Haldeman, and Ehrlichman were pivotal in bringing to light the extent of the Nixon administration's attempts to undermine the democratic process. The fallout from the Watergate affair led to sweeping reforms designed to increase transparency and reduce the potential for abuse of power within the federal government. This included the enactment of the Ethics in Government Act, the establishment of the Office of Government Ethics, and significant amendments to the Freedom of Information Act. The events of February 21, 1975, serve as a stark reminder of the fragility of democratic institutions and the perpetual need for vigilance, oversight, and accountability in preserving the integrity of governance.The Biden administration is actively soliciting feedback on the potential risks and benefits associated with "open-weight" artificial intelligence (AI) models, which are crucial for AI systems and have significant implications for national security. These open-weight models, by making AI more customizable and accessible, can foster innovation among a wider range of users, including small businesses and researchers, but also pose risks by potentially circumventing built-in safeguards. This initiative, part of a broader effort outlined in the administration's 2023 executive order on AI, aims to gather insights on the implications of public access to model weights, national security concerns, and the appropriate level of government involvement in regulating these technologies. Alan Davidson of the Commerce Department emphasized the dual nature of open-weight AI models: while they promise to democratize innovation and foster competition, they also introduce substantial safety and security challenges. The administration is also seeking to coordinate with international partners to develop guidelines for managing the dissemination and regulation of these models globally. Feedback is invited over a 30-day comment period.By way of very brief background, an open-weight AI model refers to an artificial intelligence system whose internal parameters, or "weights," are openly accessible and modifiable by users or developers. Unlike proprietary models, where the weights are closely guarded secrets, open-weight models are transparent, allowing for greater scrutiny, understanding, and customization. This openness fosters collaboration and innovation, as researchers and practitioners can build upon existing work, adapt the models to new tasks, or improve their performance and fairness. By sharing the detailed workings of these models, the AI community aims to accelerate progress, ensure broader access to cutting-edge technology, and facilitate the ethical use of AI by making it more interpretable and accountable.Of course with openness comes the potential for any safeguards or guardrails to be circumvented, thus the comment period seeking guidance on the extent to which regulatory action is necessary. White House Seeks Comments on the Risks of Open-Weight AI ModelsElon Musk has received guidance for relocating Tesla Inc.'s incorporation from Delaware to Texas, following a Delaware Court of Chancery decision that TripAdvisor Inc. can move its incorporation to Nevada. This guidance comes from Vice Chancellor J. Travis Laster, who outlined the procedures required for such a move, drawing significant attention to the potential for corporate relocations to states with laws more favorable to officers and directors. The TripAdvisor case, challenged by investors for allegedly favoring directors at shareholders' expense, has highlighted the broader implications of corporate moves on shareholder rights and litigation risks.Delaware's status as a prime venue for corporate litigation, home to nearly 70% of Fortune 500 companies, is under scrutiny as corporations like Tesla consider relocation to states offering greater litigation protections. The recent court ruling against Musk's $56 billion Tesla pay package has fueled his criticism of Delaware courts and his consideration of Texas for Tesla's incorporation, aligning with his moves for SpaceX and Neuralink.Vice Chancellor Laster allowed the investor litigation against TripAdvisor's planned move to proceed, noting that Nevada's shareholder litigation protections are perceived to be weaker than Delaware's. This decision has sparked debate among legal experts about the comparative shareholder protections across states and the potential self-interest involved in such corporate relocations.The ruling sets a precedent that companies looking to relocate must ensure the process involves a disinterested special committee and shareholder vote, addressing concerns over conflicts of interest and self-dealing. However, Musk's ambition to relocate Tesla faces challenges, including his influence over board decisions and potential pressures on board members, illustrating the complexities of corporate governance and the balance between innovation and shareholder rights.This situation underscores the evolving landscape of corporate law, the strategic considerations of incorporation locations, and the ongoing debate over the best interests of shareholders versus the autonomy of corporate directors and officers.Musk Gets Guidelines for Moving Tesla With TripAdvisor OpinionThe Texas Attorney General, Ken Paxton, has initiated a lawsuit against Annunciation House, a Catholic nonprofit organization aiding migrants, on allegations of "alien harboring, human smuggling, and operating a stash house." This legal action aims to revoke the organization's operating license in Texas, accusing it of contributing to border chaos and illegal immigration with the support of federal funds from the Biden Administration. Paxton's lawsuit, filed in El Paso County District Court, asserts that Annunciation House knowingly sheltered around 300 migrants at a time to evade U.S. Customs and Border Protection, involving transportation and placement in secretive locations.Annunciation House has countered, arguing that Paxton's lawsuit stemmed from a denied immediate access to its records, deeming the legal challenge as a baseless attempt to shut down the nonprofit under pretexts that it decries as illegal, immoral, and anti-faith. In response, Dylan Corbett, executive director of the Hope Border Institute, expressed solidarity with Annunciation House, condemning the Texas Attorney General's actions as efforts to intimidate and criminalize humanitarian aid, conflicting with Christian teachings on neighborly love.The lawsuit highlights ongoing tensions between state and federal approaches to immigration, with Texas taking aggressive steps, such as constructing a military base camp near the Eagle Pass on the U.S.-Mexico border, to curb illegal crossings. This case reflects broader debates over immigration policy, humanitarian aid, and the roles of NGOs at the border, underscored by contrasting perspectives on how to address the complexities of migration and border security.Texas sues immigration nonprofit, claiming it engaged in smuggling | Reuters Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

Web3 networks, from DAOs to tokenized communities to metalabels, have so much to learn from the work of David Elrichman. He's the author of Impact Networks, and co-founder of Converge and Hats Protocol. Pulling from his experience in decentralized organizing, David walks us through the organizing tenants of an impact network and shares his theory of self-organization. Jess and David discuss the need for the DAO ecosystem to move on from faulty coordination principles that emphasize leaderless and structureless organizations. Instead, they argue for a vision of leader-full orgs and co-created structures. Also explored are what it means to exclude with purpose, the usefulness of constrained delegation, and a theory of DAO leadership.

In our third special tapes series episode we look at various meetings and calls between the President and his staff.  Some of these tapes have been spun to make the President look as bad as possible by liberal historians, Special Prosecutors, and liberal media personalities. However, when you listen to these tapes in there entirety  I would argue they paint an entirely different picture for anyone listening with an open mind. So we are sharing these conversations as we did the two earlier meetings in there entirety, or as close to that as we could put together. They include a meeting with Chief of Staff Bob Haldeman, phone calls with Domestic Policy Advisor John Ehrlichman,  White House Counsel John Dean and National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger. We listen as John Ehrlichman reaches out to L. Patrick Gray to warn him of John Dean's duplicity. Ehrlichman who has been often vilified for years, also makes a second call to Gray to urge him to just tell the truth on the secret files Gray had destroyed based on the advice given to him by John Dean, the White House Counsel. ( A case we will look at in-depth in a later episode) This single act of kindness toward L. Patrick Gray most likely saved Gray from being indicted. Gray followed the advice Ehrlichman gave him as we will see later. However, it is three calls with Assistant Attorney General Henry Petersen that are of the most interest in these calls. Henry Petersen was investigated for his role in the early investigation of the Watergate Scandal because he had kept the President up to date on what the status was of the investigation.  Everything that could be done by Prosecutors was done to paint this situation as sinister,   as Nixon guiding the investigation away from the targets for a suspicious public.  But listen to these three calls yourself and make up your own mind as to what President Nixon was doing in them. He is clear, he gives direct orders as to what he wants to happen, and he instructs the most important of all the witnesses in the case, G. Gordon Liddy, to talk. It is in these calls you walk away realizing that for 5 decades you may not have been told anything close to the truth. You cannot listen to them and come away believing anything other than Richard Nixon was as determined as anyone else in America to know what the truth was in the scandal of Watergate. *** For more information please go to the following website ShepardonWatergate,comSupport My WorkIf you love the show, the easiest way to show your support is by leaving us a positive rating with a review.

I recently caught up with the very busy David Erlichman, co-founder and coordinator of the Converge network (www.converge.net), about his fantastic book Impact Networks: Creating Connection, Sparking Collaboration, and Catalyzing Systemic Change (Berrett-Koehler, 2021). Solving complex problems like climate change or homelessness demands intense collaboration between diverse organizations and individuals. In his book, David argues that a network approach combines the strategic rigor and agility of modern organizations with the deep connection and shared purpose of communities. Drawing on his experience working with over fifty impact networks over the past decade, David describes how to cultivate a network mentality. He then goes deeply into the five Cs of creating impact networks: * clarify purpose and principles * convene the people * cultivate trust * coordinate actions * collaborate for systems change. Given the increasing urgency of the issues we face, impact networks have never been more essential. What I love about this book—and what I enjoyed so much about our conversation—is the opportunity for exploring the potential of human networks (and networks of networks!) to bring about significant systemic change. On the relationship between systems and networks, David writes that "the networks that underlie systems—organizational, social, planetary—have a huge influence on how healthy and effective these systems are". I enjoyed getting to ask David about his thoughts on network leadership—and what it means for this work to be grounded in the wisdom of living systems. Throughout this rich and highly useful book, David points to some valuable resources within the Converge Network Toolkit. I've checked them out and suggest you do too! You can find them here.

Throughout this rich and highly useful book, David points to some valuable resources within the Converge Network Toolkit. I've checked them out and suggest you do too! You can find them here.

"As the Watergate era passes into history, the voices of most of the key players now stilled, Dwight Chapin -- a loyal and discreet member of Richard Nixon's inner circle before and after he captured the White House -- emerges with an intimate and insightful memoir that students of the era never imagined we would see. With its eyewitness account of critical events, many previously undisclosed, "The President's Man" brings to life the extraordinary cast of characters of that tumultuous time: Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Kissinger, John and Martha Mitchell, and, of course, the late President himself. Dwight Chapin's unsparing  recollections make a significant addition to the literature of the Nixon Administration and the annals of the postwar presidency"  --- James Rosen, author of The Strong Man: John Mitchell and the Secrets of WatergateThat is one of many powerful reviews for one of the most important books written on Richard Nixon over the past half century. It was authored by a man who can genuinely claim to be "The President's Man", Dwight Chapin. If you have followed our podcast it often seems that everywhere you look you will see Dwight Chapin. On our shows about President Nixon's remarkable run and the 1968 campaign, it was Dwight Chapin that got President Lyndon Johnson on the phone, that went with Nixon to Martin Luther King's funeral, that helped arrange the meeting with Hubert Humphrey at the elections end. He was there for the "Silent Majority Speech" and he was the man who helped put together every aspect of the trip to China that shook the World. No one was more intricately involved at every turn of the remarkable Presidency of Richard Nixon than Dwight Chapin. This episode is a brief look at this remarkable person entrusted to be at the side of one of our nation's greatest leaders. Dwight Chapin has recently written an outstanding book that we highly recommend, "The President's Man",  and here we have compiled some of the interviews, panel discussion, and a few added insights and materials we thought would compliment the material he has provided as he conducted his recent book tour.  It will give you some insight into the greatest of American Presidents on the eve of our podcasts deep dive into the scandal that ended Richard Nixon's Presidency. For more information on Dwight Chapin's new book and materials here is his website ThePresidentsMan.com  The Lowcountry Gullah PodcastTheculture, history and traditions podcast where Gullah Geechee culture lives!Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify

In this episode we get to listen in on what was probably the most agonizing and personally painful decisions that President Nixon had to make, save decisions involving the war in Vietnam. It was during these days that Nixon had to finally step up and force the resignations of two of his closest aids and confidantes, H.R. "Bob" Haldeman and John Ehrlichman.  Two men who had been by his side through all the triumphs and tragedies of his entire administration and even stretching back to his wilderness years. They had been known as "The Berlin Wall" and they had protected the President from friend and foe alike. Now in the chaos of the Watergate Scandal they had been sucked into the events and were going to have to be forced out.  Richard Nixon trusted these men, he tried very hard to protect them, and now he was left with no choice but to cut them loose.  He would also fire John Dean, a man who had betrayed him to the Prosecutors in his attempts to secure immunity for his own crimes. This is a painful episode to listen to because you see the emotional toll it takes on the President. Who by all accounts was a man who did not like to have confrontations, or make decisions of this kind. It would be as though he had cut off his arms for him to lose so trusted a pair of assistants. The toll is even more evident as we listen to the only actual calls that sound as though  President Nixon has been drinking in order to emotionally handle the day.  (Charges of his drinking being one of the more scurrilous and false of the many targeting the President through the years)  We close with his conversations with Bob Haldeman and California Governor Ronald Reagan late in the night after he addresses the nation.  It was a  sad day in the life of this truly great American Leader.

Social networks aren't new. Humans have always gathered together and forged communities. But deliberately organizing those networks around shared principles, shared context, and a shared purpose is a powerful way we can help address some of the world's most complex problems. A system that brings individuals and organizations together for learning and collaborative action is what David Ehrlichman calls an “impact network,” a scaled-out (rather than scaled-up) approach to creating greater change. In fact, David wrote the book on the subject—Impact Networks: Create Connection, Spark Collaboration, and Catalyze Systemic Change—which is why we invited him onto the podcast to talk about planning for emergence, unlearning command-and-control models, and the five activities all impact networks leverage to successfully co-create at scale.

We all know the importance of networking, but imagine how your network could make SIGNIFICANT impacts?  That's the idea that today's guest, David Ehrlichman shares with us.  David is the co-founder and coordinator of Converge, a network of systems strategists, designers, facilitators, educators, and evaluators committed to co-creating positive impact.  David share stories of the big things he and his network are doing, and how these principles can work for your own network.  

Episode 179 of the Business Bookshelf podcast - David Ehrlichman - author of “Impact Networks" David is cofounder and coordinator of Converge a network of systems strategists, designers, facilitators, educators, and evaluators who partner with people, organizations, and networks to navigate complexity and co-create meaningful change. David is the author of “Impact Networks: Creating Connection, Sparking Collaboration, and Catalyzing Systemic Change”. The social and environmental challenges we face today are not only complex, they are also systemic and structural and have no obvious solutions. They require diverse combinations of people, organizations, and sectors to coordinate actions and work together even when the way forward is unclear. Even so, collaborative efforts often fail because they attempt to navigate complexity with traditional strategic plans, created by hierarchies that ignore the way people naturally connect. By embracing a living-systems approach to organizing, impact networks bring people together to build relationships across boundaries; leverage the existing work, skills, and motivations of the group; and make progress amid unpredictable and ever-changing conditions. As a powerful and flexible organizing system that can span regions, organizations, and silos of all kinds, impact networks underlie some of the most impressive and large-scale efforts to create change across the globe David's company is Converge found here - www.converge.net.

Peth and David Ehrlichman, author of the new book Impact Networks discuss his background, experiences with social impact networks as well as the importance of leadership & collaboration between multiple sectors to tackle core systematic issues. In a classical story of disillusionment with his corporate job, helping share holders grow more wealthy whilst living amongst such obvious systematic problems like homelessness, David went on to work for a nonprofit organization - where he noticed a broken system. People working towards their individual organizations and projects and looking to solve only a small piece of a much larger puzzle. After his work with the nonprofit and realization of these real world problems, David continued his social impact journey by founding Converge and helping build over a dozen social impact networks, aiding more in their Journey. This ultimately is what led him to write Impact networks and down the rabbit hole that is Web3 and DAOs. Topics David's background and inspiration behind Impact Networks How to solve core systematic issues through proper communication & collaboration Importance of leadership in a decentralized networks & communities Maintaining balance between self direction and convergence with the community The need to create opportunities for people to contribute and be rewarded for their effort Leadership and collaboration are the fundamentals to success in this space. “Human communities organizing with technology is where a lot of potential and magic lies. Technology without humans is just tech, it can support coordination but ultimately comes down to people working with people and that presents a lot of challenges.” It is amazing that people wish to come together to collaborate on common goals of any kind, however, organization and communication are crucial to ensure everyone is moving forward in alignment. Decision making becomes more difficult as groups grow larger, meaning, it's better to start small and expand thoughtfully and intentionally. In conclusion, Peth and David fully explored the complexities around collaborating and the importance of creating leadership roles in decentralized networks while solving real world problems in the process!

The book is “The Last Liberal Republican: An Insider's Perspective on Nixon's Surprising Social Policy” The Last Liberal Republican is a memoir from one of Nixon's senior domestic policy advisors. John Roy Price—a member of the moderate wing of the Republican Party, a cofounder of the Ripon Society, and an employee on Nelson Rockefeller's campaigns—joined Daniel Patrick Moynihan, and later John D. Ehrlichman, in the Nixon White House to develop domestic policies, especially on welfare, hunger, and health. Based on those policies, and the internal White House struggles around them, Price places Nixon firmly in the liberal Republican tradition of President Theodore Roosevelt, New York governor Thomas E. Dewey, and President Eisenhower. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When General Alexander M. Haig Jr. returned to the White House on May 3, 1973, he found the Nixon administration in worse shape than he had imagined. President Richard Nixon, reelected in an overwhelming landslide just six months earlier, had accepted the resignations of his top aides—the chief of staff H. R. Haldeman and the domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman—just three days earlier. Haldeman and Ehrlichman had enforced the president's will and protected him from his rivals and his worst instincts for four years. Without them, Nixon stood alone, backed by a staff that lacked gravitas and confidence as the Watergate scandal snowballed. Nixon needed a savior, someone who would lift his fortunes while keeping his White House from blowing apart. He hoped that savior would be his deputy national security adviser, Alexander Haig, whom he appointed chief of staff. But Haig's goal was not to keep Nixon in office—it was to remove him. In Haig's Coup, Ray Locker uses recently declassified documents to tell the true story of how Haig orchestrated Nixon's demise, resignation, and subsequent pardon. A story of intrigues, cover-ups, and treachery, this incisive history shows how Haig engineered the “soft coup” that ended our long national nightmare and brought Watergate to an end.

In this episode, I have a brilliant conversation with Courtney Ehrlichman, the CEO at The Ehrlichman Group & Co-founder of RoadBotics. We recorded this interview in early June 2020. Courtney tells us about her background in urban studies, planning and transport and her passions for community, mobility and solving problems across industries. We talk about the concept of Universal Basic Mobility, and what a Smart Community means to Courtney, and why it's so important that technology is used as a tool to decrease divides and serve human needs. Courtney and I discuss how data can build wealthier communities and why efficiency is so important both from a local government economic development perspective, and from a citizen user perspective. We have a great chat about autonomous vehicle shuttles, and some of the moral, ethical and labour issues associated with them, as well as the other complex pieces of the mobility conversation, such as urban density, land use, housing affordability, employment options and lower-tech mobility solutions like active transport. Courtney tells us how she sees America embracing Smart Community concepts, the pothole detecting tech startup she co-founded, RoadBotics, and how she works with people. We finish our conversation discussing the emerging trends people aren't talking about of the food supply chain, and educating citizens on their privacy rights, as well as some of Courtney's favourite Smart Community resources.

John Ehrlichman, who served 18 months in prison for his central role in the Watergate scandal, was Nixon's chief domestic advisor when the president announced the “war on drugs” in 1971. The administration cited a high death toll and the negative social impacts of drugs to justify expanding federal drug control agencies. Doing so set the scene for decades of socially and economically disastrous policies. Journalist Dan Baum wrote in the April cover story of Harper's about how he interviewed Ehrlichman in 1994 while working on a book about drug prohibition. Ehrlichman provided some shockingly honest insight into the motives behind the drug war. From Harper's:   “You want to know what this was really all about?” he asked with the bluntness of a man who, after public disgrace and a stretch in federal prison, had little left to protect. “The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were   In other words, the intense racial targeting that's become synonymous with the drug war wasn't an unintended side effect ― it was the whole point. The quote kicks off Baum's “Legalize It All,” the cover story for Harper's April 2016 issue. Read the whole article, which is a comprehensive argument for drug legalization, here.   Baum explained to The Huffington Post why he didn't include the quote in his 1996 book, Smoke and Mirrors: The War on Drugs and the Politics of Failure. “There are no authorial interviews in [Smoke and Mirrors] at all; it's written to put the reader in the room as events transpire,” Baum said in an email. “Therefore, the quote didn't fit. It did change all the reporting I did for the book, though, and changed the way I worked thereafter.” The quote does, however, appear in the 2012 book The Moment, a collection of “life-changing stories” from writers and artists. Baum also talked to HuffPost about why Ehrlichman would confess such a thing in such blunt terms. “It taught me that people are often eager to unburden themselves, once they no longer have a dog in the fight,” Baum said. “The interviewer needs to be patient sometimes, and needs to ask the right way. But people will often be incredibly honest if given the chance.” UPDATE: 3/25 ― Three of John Ehrlichman's former colleagues have disavowed the quote attributed to him, questioning whether he said it and suggesting that if he did, he may have been making a sarcastic comment. They also disputed the idea that the war on drugs was racially motivated. Read their whole response here.  https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/27/health/johnson-and-johnson-opioids-oklahoma.html  

CONTENT WARNING - The following episode discusses mature themes, including illicit drug use and political assassinations. Listener discretion is advised. In the third installment of America's War on Drugs, Richard Nixon makes good on his second chance at becoming president of the United States in 1968, instituting his "law and order" policies during his president, chief among them sweeping anti-drug policy. These policies concentrated mostly on cannabis and opiates such as heroin, but also overhauled the way the federal government addressed drugs. Jaye provides context to the America of the 1960s, and discusses Nixon's War on Drugs as key to his crusade to end the social and political change the 1960s represented.

The founder of Kaiser Permanente, Henry J. Kaiser, preceded Edward Kaiser by many years. We misstate that the founder was George Kaiser. George Kaiser is someone else entirely. Also of note: Laura Jean apologizes for the many grumbles and sighs and sniffles in this episode. She needed more healthcare.

And then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities," Ehrlichman said. "We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course, we did." -41:10 “Since Portugal ceased criminalizing drug use, the results have been dramatic.

Whereas in UBI, cash is given to the citizens to supplement everyday living expenses. Though, in today's politically polarized climate, redistributing money to help fund even the most basic of living expenses is highly charged. What if the money did not simply go into the hands of everyday citizens, but rather was reappropriated to projects that empowered the workforce, cared for the elderly, and better accommodated families. This is the concept behind universal basic mobility. Former bike messenger and fanatical mobility enthusiast, Courtney Ehrlichman of the Ehrlichman Group joins Wisco Weekly to discuss this new concept of universal basic mobility. Our existing infrastructure was built with the personal vehicle in mind, and in our current mobility revolution, we are seeing new ways to get around. Can this new socio-economic policy of UBM be the new guiding light for the automotive and mobility space to aspire to? Tune into episode #87 for this thrilling intellectual discussion on universal basic mobility.

This week, I sit down with Adam Ehrlichman. Adam has been the ‘cheese guy’ at Penn Mac for 14 years! Working with cheese for that long... How crazy is that?! Most of us think of cheese as just a great snack or a great addition to a good meal but for Adam, cheese is his living. We talk about everything I can think of when it comes to cheese. I’m a big fan of the stuff myself so I was excited to learn more about cheese. There’s so many different kinds and each one has a story and reasons behind it and Adam is the guy to learn from. This is another great episode and I hope yinz learn a thing or two about one of the best things ever... cheese.

Our 4th episode features the irreplaceable Luke "Noonches" Ehrlichman. We mainly talk about his cat. Originally recorded live on ZUMIX Radio in East Boston. Live every Wednesday from 10-11AM EST on 94.9FM East Boston and streaming on the web at zumix.org.

In 1973, at the height of the Watergate scandal, a record label called "Mr. G Records" released the song "Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Mitchell and Dean," written by Bob Warren and supposedly performed by "The Creep," as a 45 single. The same track is on both sides, a typical comic song featuring barroom piano. Apparently, the song initially got some airplay, until listeners started complaining. Here are the lyrics:We're Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Mitchell and DeanThe way we've been treated is really obsceneTo think that a bug worth hardly a shrugCould end up by getting us tossed in the jugWe all got the gate for no reason or rhymeYou'd think we'd committed some horrible crimeOur minds may be dirty, but our hands are cleanWe're Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Mitchell and DeanWe're Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Mitchell and DeanOur job was to see that the White House stayed greenWe might have had flaws, like bending the lawsBut God only knows it was for a good causeThere's no power shortage where we were concernedAnd what little profit resulted, we earnedFor lovelier fellows you never have seenThan Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Mitchell and DeanWe're Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Mitchell and DeanOur past has been fat, but the future looks leanWith backs to the wall, we're taking the fallBut dammit, we only robbed Pete to pay PaulJust when we getting to be well-to-doThe Watergate turned into our WaterlooAnd now everybody is out to demeanPoor Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Mitchell and DeanYes, we're Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Mitchell and DeanWe're perfectly willing to spill every beanWe've nothing to hide, with God on our sideHe knows we were only along for the rideBut so it won't come as terrible blowThere's one little thing that we think you should knowWhatever we say isn't quite what we meanWe're Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Mitchell and DeanOh yes, we're Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Mitchell and DeanThings won't be the same when we're gone from the sceneBut people will still recall with a thrillOur sell-out performance on Capitol HillIt just isn't fair to take all of the blameWhen all we were doing was playing the gameNow all of Washington's caught in betweenHaldeman, Ehrlichman, Mitchell and Dean See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

What are the trends in new mobility in 2019? How do you turn big data into useful information for decision-making? How do cities keep in mind issues like equity when implementing new technologies? And what is it actually like to ride in an autonomous vehicle? My friend Courtney Ehrlichman—a leader in intelligent and new mobility systems, founder of The Ehrlichman Group, and co-founder of RoadBotics—joined us at the 2019 Transportation Research Board (TRB) Annual Meeting this year to answer these questions (and more!) about emerging mobility and disruptive technology.  

This week, an encore presentation of an interview we first brought you earlier this year. John Dean was the star witness of the Watergate investigation — the counsel to President Richard Nixon who famously flipped and became the prosecution’s star witness in the process that helped take down the president. The Russia scandal is far from over, said Dean, but Trump has advantages that Nixon didn’t. “There’s social media, there’s the internet; the news cycles are faster. I think Watergate would have occurred at a much more accelerated speed than the 928 days it took to go from the arrest at the Watergate to the conviction of Haldeman and Ehrlichman and [John] Mitchell, et al.,” Dean told Off Message host Isaac Dovere in our first episode of 2018. “There’s more likelihood [Nixon] might have survived if there’d been a Fox News.” POLITICO's Off Message podcast is hosted by Isaac Dovere and is part of the Panoply network. Zack Stanton is its producer. Theme music by Podington Bear.

Microtransactions have been an extremely hot topic in the gaming world. We had a chat with Wes Ehrlichman of the St. Louis Game Developer Co-op to discuss several facets of microtransactions. Are AAA companies going to far? Are indies safe from scorn? What systems can be good, and which are just terrible?

This week on Curmudgeon's Corner Sam is joined by guest hosts Ed and Darryl. They of course talk about the Manafort and Gates indictment, the Papadopoulos guilty plea, and the ramifications of all that to the Mueller investigation. In addition, they discuss the continuing revelations on the degree of influence social media has on our political process, the civil wars in both the Republican and Democratic parties, an old Ehrlichman interview, the opioid crisis, and gerrymandering.

#004: "Pedals, Programs and Pittsburgh" - A Conversation With Courtney Ehrlichman (Sep. 8, 2017) by The Mobility Podcast

We talk about the relatively simple problem of global climate change with Brigham Daniels. Starting with EPA’s just-proposed regulations, we discuss the very odd way that U.S. law has confronted the problem. Why has it become a partisan issue and how do we overcome that? Are economic signals enough or must ethics change and tribal alliances break down? How might that happen? Darcy and a special canine guest make brief appearances. This show’s links: Brigham Daniels’ faculty profile and writing Brigham Daniels, Addressing Global Climate Change in an Age of Political Climate Change EPA, Carbon Pollution Standards EPA, Carbon Power Plan Proposed Rule, including links to the proposed rule and numerous fact sheets concerning the EPA’s proposed rule for existing power plants Vox’s Guide to Obama's New Rules to Cut Carbon Emissions from Power Plants Jonathan Cohn, Obama's New Rules for Coal Plants Are a B.F.D.
