 In this episode Derek talks with Dave Alpern, President of Joe Gibbs Racing and author of Taking the Lead. The president of Joe Gibbs Racing―the winningest team in NASCAR history―shares the secrets of succeeding in business and in life. In NASCAR, as in life, the difference between winning and losing often comes down to being in the right place at the right time and making the most of every opportunity. Nobody understands that better than Dave Alpern. Dave started his career as an unpaid intern selling T-shirts for the newly formed Joe Gibbs Racing team. Nearly three decades later, he's now the president of JGR, a multimillion-dollar elite, record-setting racing team with more than 500 employees. In Taking the Lead, Dave shares the wisdom he's learned along the way: key principles that will equip you with what you need to rise to the top and succeed with integrity and purpose―whatever team you're on.

The US today is a sick, broken society. Late-stage capitalism doesn’t offer any real solutions to the problems that people are facing as the economy falls apart. Lee Camp looks at the false solutions that corporations and the US government offer to people instead of addressing the root causes of the real problems that we all face. System-wide problems require systemic answers but unfortunately it’s more profitable to allow those problems to persist while selling solutions to the symptoms. In ‘Taking the News from Behind’, Camp covers Extinction Rebellion’s “Money Rebellion” campaign, and a movement to make environmental destruction – aka ecocide – a crime. Anders Lee reports on the obstacles to the renegotiation of the Iran nuclear deal after Donald Trump tore it up without cause. Iranian nuclear facilities have been consistently under attack from Israel since the signing of the deal. The US hasn’t shown any sign that it will condemn its ally’s provocative and dangerous attacks. Even the Democrats in Congress won’t support a reasonable path for negotiations. Naomi Karavani brings attention to an ACLU lawsuit against the FBI, and a New York narcotics officer who was caught lying might lead to almost 100 other convictions being thrown out.

Lee Camp looks into the US’ long history of oppressed people fighting back against their oppressors. The story goes back to the arrival of the ‘Mayflower’ and continues today as our corporate overlords seek to invade the privacy of workers. The capitalist system continues to try and crush the human spirit and turn workers into automatons but we can continue the tradition of fighting back. In ‘Taking the News from Behind,’ Lee takes on many of the facets of life that make living in and sharing a world with the United States a nightmare. He also exposes the propagandists representing the interests of both parties in government and the media. Natalie McGill reports on the student loan debt crisis. Betsy Devos’ overtly corrupt plans as secretary of education protected the predatory practices of for-profit colleges from oversight. But the Biden administration’s plans protect those profits in a slightly more subtle way by encouraging students to take on debt repayment schedules that will last a lifetime. Anders Lee finishes off the show with new information on the COINTELPRO campaigns against the Black Panther Party, developments in Brazil that would allow Lula da Silva to run for president again, and bad news for human rights attorney Steven Donziger.

Lee Camp opens the show this week with a recent report released publicly by the intelligence community to prove how little they are willing to tolerate free speech. Their list of “domestic violence extremists” includes a wide array of groups to be targeted. The real crime of most of these groups is standing in the way of, or simply being opposed to, global capitalist power. In Taking the News from Behind, Camp looks back at how the Pentagon stopped Trump from bringing the troops home from Afghanistan. Naomi Karavani reports on the current situation in Afghanistan and what the oligarchs who run the US empire stand to lose if America ends the longest war in its history. It isn’t the lives they’re worried about. It’s the contracts, the resources, and the cash. Natalie McGill joins Camp to discuss Derek Chauvin’s trial for murdering George Floyd, and what's missing from President Biden’s $2.2 trillion infrastructure bill.

Lee Camp covers a solution to global water scarcity from the playbook of Peter Joseph. In ‘Taking the News from Behind’, Camp reports on how the Kentucky Senate wants to make it illegal to swear at the police. Natalie McGill & Camp discuss the rash of anti-protest laws being pushed in state legislatures across the country to target the left. Finally, the show closes out with a clip from Camp’s comedy special, ‘Not Allowed on American TV’.

The richest people in the world have stolen trillions from average Americans over the last four decades. Lee Camp takes a look at the redistribution of wealth that our ruling class loves and what we can do about it. The rich have been stealing from the public coffers for too long and taking that money back isn’t a radical proposition. In ‘Taking the News from Behind’, Lee exposes the real unemployment rate, Amazon stealing tips from delivery drivers, and the environmental impact of modern society’s addiction to meat. Anders Lee reports on the corporate fight to commercialize space. Elon Musk has made his name on privatized space travel and he has been successful. If the trends continue, we might be looking toward a future of space fascism. Natalie McGill and Lee discuss Joe Biden’s plans to turn the US-Mexico border into a full-surveillance zone, a study on how Big Pharma kills medical progress, and more.

The US electoral system won't allow the real power structure that holds up the US Empire to be voted out. Lee Camp reports on the allegedly corrupt establishment officials who Joe Biden is recommending for cabinet positions in his administration. The names we are seeing put forward have histories that shouldn't give progressive voters any relief after four years of Trump's administration. In “Taking the News from Behind” Camp exposes the CIA’s secretive multibillion dollar cloud computing contracts with some of the largest names in Big Tech. There are hundreds of left-wing policies and statutes that are already in US legal codes. In a new series The American Prospect has been pointing them out. These codes could be used to push action on the environment, healthcare, human rights, and all of the things that progressive voters have been hoping for without letting Congress get in the way. Anders Lee covers how Joe Biden probably won't be using them when president. Natalie McGill and Camp finish off the show with stories on the census, the pandemic from the perspective of incarcerated people, and more.

Lee Camp wants you to know what and who to blame if Joe Biden fails to beat Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election. This election is being held at a time of skyrocketing inequality, climate change uncertainty, dissatisfaction with the status quo, and popular unrest from the left and right. The DNC chose to push one of their most conservative members onto their ticket while he clearly suffers from mental decline. Trump has been historically unpopular in his first term. The Dems should win easily, but the race they chose to run demobilizes voters and promotes dissatisfaction. It’s like they’re trying to lose. In “Taking the News from Behind,” Camp looks at how the US is booting more people onto the streets while there are still more empty homes here than people without homes, a Philadelphia activist collective recently won the right for unhoused families to remain in city-owned housing, and more on housing justice. Natalie McGill reports on how the fossil fuel companies, which were previously fined millions for polluting the Earth, collectively received $32 million in PPP loans. The economic downturn from Covid-19 slowed down a recently leaked plan of ExxonMobil’s to rapidly increase its annual carbon-dioxide emissions by as much as the output of the entire nation of Greece. Anders Lee and Camp sit down together to discuss the Supreme Court confirmation hearing of Amy Coney Barrett, and more.

In Taking the Heat: Women Chefs and Gender Inequality in the Professional Kitchen (Rutgers University Press, 2015), Deborah Harris and Patti Giuffre trace the historical evolution of the profession, analyze more than two thousand examples of chef profiles and restaurant reviews, and conduct in-depth interviews with thirty-three women chefs. There are a number of recent books, magazines, and television programs that focused on the world of the professional chef. The media perpetually uses men as icons to market the hot and sexy field of being a chef in the professional kitchen. All the while, the work of women in the kitchen is discounted as a domestic role. This devaluation remains intact because of the exclusion of women in professional kitchens. This helps men maintain the legitimacy of the profession and perpetuates the appearance of home cooking as women’s domestic duty. Dr. Deborah A. Harris is an Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology at Texas State University. She focuses her teachings on courses in the area of stratification and inequality, qualitative research methods, rural aging, and the sociology of food. Harris’s published research has addressed the impacts of welfare reform on low-income women and their families, as well as how the closing of military facilities affects local communities. Dr. Patti Giuffre is the Director of Graduate Programs in the Department of Sociology at Texas State University. She focuses her teaching and research in the area of work and occupation, gender, sexuality, and qualitative methods. She has conducted research on sexual harassment, sexual orientation discrimination, and experiences of LGBT workers in gay-friendly workplaces. She is also an active member of the American Sociological Associations sections on Sex and Gender and Organizations, Occupations, and Work and of the Sociologists for Women in Society. Michael O. Johnston is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at William Penn University. He earned his doctoral degree in Public Policy and Public Administration from Walden University. His most recent paper, to be presented at the upcoming American Society for Environmental History conference, is titled Down Lovers Lane: A Brief History of Necking in Cars.   Learn more about your ad choices.

This week we discuss two episodes from season 9, Taking the Fifth (ep 9) and Operation Friendship (ep 10). In Taking the Fifth we see the plot revolve around 757 mL of Bordeaux as Charles seeks more and Hawkeye seeks to trade his bottle for pleasure of the flesh. In Operation Friendship we watch as Charles plays hand servant to Klinger after he saves Charles from near certain death at the hands of the autoclave while BJ is knocked to his caboose by the same device, ending up in his hand suffering a compartment hemmoraghe which nearly ends his surgical career.

This morning we were listening to Bob Newhart’s “Stop It” skit that Alan had talked about a while ago. So everybody out there with wandering minds, low self-esteem and all the like, take this advice to heart. As for today’s practice, Alan was front loading the session again with Padmasambhava’s pointing-out instructions, giving us the seeds for the silent, non-discursive meditation. Your own distinct awareness is pristine awareness, don’t look outside of yourself, but give up all attachment to and identification with your own body and mind. After the meditation Alan discussed the two strategies to deal with distractive thoughts, emotions etc. in shamatha practice. In Taking the Mind As the Path, you just let them self-release. The other strategy is that, when these distractions come up, to just cut them right off. You can do the same in lucid dreaming when something unpleasant happens. Finally Alan compared the images used by Dudjom Lingpa in his Vajra Essence when describing how sentient beings emerge from the ignorance of the ground with the way Roger Penrose describes light rays. Silent meditation cut out at 26:00 min

It was once claimed that Ireland has over three thousand healing springs and more than any other country in Europe. In Taking the Waters, we hear about the springs that are no longer and those that still flourish. (First Broadcast 1978)
