Today's location-specific episode features California.  We explore the overview of the housing guiding document called California Tenant Protection Act.  Each of my location-specific podcasts is set up the same way answering the same four questions:  1) What are the basics of the California Tenant Protection Act, 2) What are the nuances of this location – what is different that stands out?, 3) Some guidance about abandoned items left behind by a tenant in a rental inCalifornia, and 4) Where to get help in your local area in California.  This episode is NOT all inclusive – you must research further in your specific area including your County, Regional District, Parish, City or any other Governing Body that involves your rental location, but today's episode will get you started!

This week Chris and Jason read and discussed a paper Chris wrote for a strategic studies project about neo-Nazi terror networks and their links to far-right militias in Ukraine. The influx of foreign fighters to Ukraine since the beginning of the Russian invasion of 2022 has outpaced US intel and law enforcement agencies' ability to monitor potential radicals going to and coming from Ukraine. Far-right extremists have been drawn to the conflict in Ukraine since 2014 due to affiliated organizations that belong to a web of loosely related violent neo-fascist organizations. Several affiliated extremists have been apprehended planning terror attacks and other acts of violence. Amos, Howard, and Harriet Salem. 2014. “Ukraine Clashes: Dozens Dead after Odessa Building Fire.” The Guardian.

Anne Telnaes Edward "Big Balls" Coristine, State Department Senior Adviser “Big Balls” is 19-year-old high school graduate Edward Coristine, who now works as a “senior adviser” in the State Department's Bureau of Diplomatic Technology. That pretty much sums up President Elon Musk's reign of terror running through the federal government, even as Trump's Clown Cabinet gets virtually unanimous support from a spineless U.S. Senate. This week we talk with a veteran of federal departments that are being gutted by the Musk administration. In Michigan, we have our first polling on how the race for Governor might be impacted by third-party candidate Mike Duggan. We get the detailed findings from veteran pollster Bernie Porn, CEO of EPIC-MRA. Also on our radar:  Governor Whitmer and the Legislature are in last-minute 3-way negotiations over Michigan's minimum wage and paid medical leave;  The CEO of Ford warns that Trump's economic agenda could cripple the auto industry which means crippling Michigan's economy; And the Governor is looking at weed and big corporations to fund more fixing of the damn roads. Also joining us on the podcast: University of Michigan law professor Sam Bagenstos, who was a senior staffer at what it now Robert Kennedy Jr.'s Department of Health and Human Services, the Project 2025-driven office of Management and Budget, and the probably-soon-to-be shuttered Department of Justice Office of Civil Rights. Sam Bagenstos — Frank G. Millard Professor of Law, University of Michigan Bagenstos took an extended leave from U. of M. to serve in multiple roles in the Biden administration, with senior positions in HHS, the Federal Budget Office and Department of Justice. From June 2022 to December 2024, he was general counsel to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), where he played a key role in advancing and implementing policies across the department, including: pursuing several initiatives on abortion and reproductive rights; crafting and defending the first-ever Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program; drafting and issuing major rules on civil rights, health privacy, Medicare and Medicaid, drug advertising, the regulation of “lab-developed” medical tests and food safety, the treatment of unaccompanied migrant children in HHS care, the treatment of LGBTQ+ kids in the foster care system, and many other issues; advancing marijuana rescheduling, and advising and defending the Food and Drug Administration's tobacco enforcement program; and working with the Department of Justice on litigation involving HHS, including significant abortion rights, free speech, and tobacco regulation cases in the US Supreme Court. From Inauguration Day 2021 to June 2022, he served as general counsel to the Office of Management and Budget. There, he worked on President Biden's Day One executive orders; helped respond to COVID-19, including implementing several crucial aid programs; responded to regulations adopted by the prior administration just before the inauguration and helped advance the new administration's regulations on labor, health, the environment, and much else; helped craft and implement the American Rescue Plan, the bipartisan infrastructure law, and what became the Inflation Reduction Act; and assisted in developing two annual budgets, along with advising the entire Executive Branch on issues of appropriations law and administrative law. In an earlier stint on leave from the Law School, from 2009 to 2011, Bagenstos was an appointee in the US Department of Justice, where he served as the principal deputy assistant attorney general for civil rights, the No. 2 official in the Civil Rights Division. There, he helped promulgate the 2010 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) regulations—the first comprehensive update of those regulations since they were first issued in 1991—and led the reinvigoration of the Civil Rights Division's enforcement of the US Supreme Court's deci...

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency unveiled a detailed set of guidelines Wednesday to safeguard the mobile communications of high-value government targets in the wake of the ongoing Salt Typhoon telecom breach. The guide aims to help both political and federal leadership harden their communications and avoid any data interception by the Chinese-linked espionage group. As of earlier this month, government agencies were still grappling with the attack's full scope, federal officials told reporters. Among the targets were officials from both presidential campaigns, including the phone of President-elect Donald Trump. The advisory details several key practices intended to mitigate risks associated with cyber threats and raise awareness on techniques that can thwart any type of malicious actor. The FBI's ability to fully embrace artificial intelligence has been hamstrung by funding constraints and various workforce and technical challenges, according to a new watchdog report. The Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General said the FBI has “demonstrated initiative” and taken steps to “integrate AI capabilities in a manner consistent” with guidance from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. But substantial progress has been difficult to come by due to barriers that have “impeded” more “accelerated adoption” of AI. The Daily Scoop Podcast is available every Monday-Friday afternoon.

Curt Wichmer, Legislative Analyst at the MCC, recently spoke with Mary Varni, Director of the Respect Life Apostolate for the Archdiocese of St. Louis, Deb Sheppard, Director of the Life and Justice Office for the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph, and Sister Janine Tran, Respect Life Director for the Diocese of Springfield-Cape Girardeau, about the dangerous and misleading language in Amendment 3. They discuss how miscarriage care will still be provided, that the amendment would prohibit any type of penalty for someone who assists a person in “exercising their right to reproductive freedom,” and how it would open the door to taxpayer funding of abortion.

Show Notes Episode 457: When You Wish Upon A Starr Part Two of Bill Clinton and Summer Series 2024 Finale  This week Host Dave Bledsoe parses the definition of the term “owed” in relation to a bar tab. (It depends on what the word “owed” means.) On the show this week we wrap up Summer Series 2024 and the story of Bill Clinton with the Sex Scandal that defined the 90's. (There are ZERO Monica jokes here, move on if that is what you are looking for.) Along the way we learn that Dave had a strong sexual attraction to Bill Clinton. (He is always trying to fuck his way to the top!) Then we dive right into why Bill Clinton got into trouble in the first place. (Also Dick Nixon was fucking Zsa Zsa Gabor?) We give the short, short version of Whitewater just to show how far out in left field Ken Starr was with the whole Monica thing! We then meet young Miss Lewinsky (She got fucked by more that just Bill Clinton) and how she and Bill did a very dumb thing together. Then we meet Linda, who loved Monica so much that she betrayed her hoping for a fat book deal. (Linda Tripp is treated EXACTLY how she deserves in this story.) Finally, we examine the moral, legal and ethical points of the whole scandal. (Bill OUGHT to have resigned!) Our Sponsor this week is Caca de Perro Cubano El Presidente Premium, slip it in, it feels nice! We open with CNN Breaking News and close with Mister Runnerholic, who wants their dream to come true.

On today's show, I ask the question if it really is being polite or showing kindness to willfully lie to someone and play into their own self-delusions? How do we expect people to embrace reality if they are allowed to exist in a world of make-believe? At the start of today's excursion through the news, we start with the empty skulls on college campuses who are siding with terrorism and the culture of death. When confronted with facts, they choose to deny them in an effort to make them go away. But, how do we blame them entirely? There are plenty of adults they say who both exhibit the same self-delusions and then encourage more of it. We come to the story of Sandra Doorley, and District Attorney in Monroe County, NY. She refused to pull over after speeding. Instead of cooperating, she threw a massive adult-sized tantrum, revealing her truer nature. She believes she is above the law. But, she is not an outlier. She is emblematic of the whole of governance today. Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) actually invoked her Constitutional authority to file an official complaint against Special Counsel Jack Smith. The complaint, filed with the Department of Justice Office of Professional Responsibility, relates to his clear and illegal efforts of election interference. Onto Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) who lost her mind when a friendly reporter accidentally performed a random act of journalism. MSNBC's Katy Tur should know better than to insert truth, which derails a state approved narrative. DA Fani Willis chose to skip out on a debate for her own re-election coming up in Fulton County, GA. So, The Atlanta Press Club allowed her challenger to address the empty podium. Remember when I said the disgraced and disbanded Disinformation Governance Board wasn't going to just disappear? Looks like the singing propagandist is back! Nina Jankowicz is heading a private disinformation group called the American Sunlight Project. In week two of the Alvin Bragg “hush money” case, it seems the witness is telling us all about Michael Cohen. Of interest, we have yet to hear Donald Trump's name. On a positive, both Oklahoma and Texas have joined Florida in saying they reject the Biden regime's re-writing of Title IX. Middle school girls in West Virginia are now being represented by the WV Attorney General because they chose to forfeit, rather than compete against a boy who thinks he is a girl. And, in a moment of clarity, the NHS in the UK has decided that one's sex is a biological fact. Take a moment to rate and review the show and then share the episode on social media.

Hello, and welcome to episode 97 of the Financial Crime Weekly Podcast, I'm Chris Kirkbride. It is yet another busy week for financial crime. The sanctions news is focused on a series of updates from the UK, and the opening of an inquiry into the operation of the UK sanctions regime as it relates to Russia. On money laundering news, there's a little spinning around the FATF, together with some action from the EU agencies respecting action taken against launderers in the bloc member states. The fraud news is dominated by Covid-19 fraud, as it almost always seems to be, while there is news of action taken by the Central Bank of Ireland against a stockbroker for breaching MAR.

This week's podcast discusses sexual assault. If you or someone you know experiences sexual violence, you can find local support via La Piñon's 24-Hour Crisis Hotline at 575-526-3437 or go to www.lapinon.org. This week, we're joined by Abrianna Morales. When she was 15, Abrianna was sexually assaulted by someone she knew and trusted. That experience — navigating the legal system, the feeling of isolation, and lack of resources and support — prompted her to create the Sexual Assault Youth Survivors' Network, a community of survivors, supporters, and advocates “dedicated to building a world without sexual violence where justice is restorative and healing is possible.” As of early 2022, more than 300,000 people from around the world had visited the organization's website. After high school, she went on to attend the University of New Mexico. She is currently a senior majoring in Psychology and Criminology with a minor in Math and will graduate in two weeks. In 2022, she was selected to be a Truman Scholar, one of 58 college students throughout the country who aspire to be leaders in public service. After graduation, she plans to take a gap year to work on developing the SAYSN and some collaborative projects with the National Organization for Victim Assistance, including a U.S. Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women grant to provide training and technical assistance to college campuses invested in preventing sexual assault, domestic violence, and stalking. Last week, during National Crime Victims' Rights Week, Abrianna was featured in a video on the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Justice Programs' website. We'll talk to Abrianna about SAYSN, her experience as an advocate, how COVID-19 impacted her life in surprising ways, her future plans and more.

Have you imagined that not missing a day of high school could put you square in the driver's seat of a new car? What began as a novel #truancy pilot roughly twenty years ago is becoming increasingly popular in high schools across America. Why are cash-strapped #schools ponying up cars for students with perfect, or near-perfect #attendance? What are the outcomes of these incentives? What are the positions of advocates and opponents? In this episode, Doc describes the “cars for attendance” trend speeding through the parking lots of America's high schools. WHAT IS TRUANCY? States have statutory citations for compulsory school attendance and school attendance enforcement. These exist to compel students to attend school on a regular basis. Truancy, or unexcused absence from school, is informally referred to as “skipping school.” A “truant student'' is typically absent for several days, or weeks, during the school year. The pattern tends to be pervasive and the lack of regular attendance diminishes the student's ability to benefit from instruction. Students who are truant are often ineligible to participate in organized sports and generally are not connected with school activities. TRUANCY REDUCTION: KEEPING STUDENTS IN SCHOOL. In September 2001, the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Juvenile Justice published a 16-page bulletin titled: Truancy Reduction, Keeping Students in School. Truancy had been well-studied by 2001, and although it impacted students of all ages, it was most prevalent in high schools. The report stated, “Truancy has been clearly identified as one of the early warning signs that youth are headed for potential delinquent activity, social isolation, and/or educational failure. Other studies established lack of commitment to school as a risk factor for substance abuse, delinquency, teen pregnancy, and dropping out of school.” OTHER CONSEQUENCES OF TRUANCY. The DOJ's 2001 report predicted dire financial impacts of truancy and dropouts, including (1) Less educated workforce, (2) Business loss because of youth who “hang out” and/or shoplift during the day, (3) Higher daytime crime rates, and (4) cost of social services for families of children who are habitually truant. INCENTIVES FOR STUDENT ATTENDANCE - YOU GET A CAR! In 2022, Bastrop ISD partnered with the local Sames Bastrop Ford dealership to offer one lucky student the chance to win a car in its “Drive Sames 4 Education.” “Kristi Lee, BISD's district deputy superintendent, said the district has seen a dip in attendance and all students' grades. The free car acts as an incentive to get students to come back to class. For the 2021-22 school year, BISD had an attendance rate of 90.59% – the lowest rate in the last four years. When the pandemic originally hit, during the 2019-2020 school year, overall attendance was almost three percentage points higher at 93.67% (Comme, P. 2022).” Search engines return thousands of similar stories, from New Caney High School to Honey Grove ISD to San Antonio High School. ARGUMENTS FOR CARS AND HIGH-VALUE PRIZES. It works. Research has found that financial incentives typically are the most effective in driving teenagers. Oftentimes, parents will reward students with a cash bonus after they produce good grades. But on the contrary, children are more prone to strive for something they can control, like studying or even attendance (Prothero, A. 2017). On the flip side, incentives are much less effective for actual test scores. In other words, incentives work to motivate kids to attend school, but not necessarily to perform well in school. The cost of a car (and some of the prizes are used cars) might be $25,000, or less if donated by a dealership or community philanthropy. That expense is lower than the school funding a truancy officer or cuts to school funding due to lower enrollment. ARGUMENTS AGAINST CARS AND HIGH VALUE PRIZES. Schools create an artificial external reward system for something that should be internalized as having value. For example, we don't brush our teeth to receive a chance to win a car from the dental office, although lack of dental hygiene could deteriorate our health and cost thousands of dollars to fix. Another argument is that the fact that high-value prizes increase attendance underscore that traditional school operations don't motivate students. Maybe it's a stale curriculum? It's worth noting The Safety Doc Podcast episode 195 and guest Mike Dahle discussing how Esports is rocketing in popularity in schools - and also contributing to increased attendance. Yet, the majority of schools don't offer Esports. For car raffles, people claim the optics look bad - of quasi-paying kids to attend school. SAFETY DOC WEBSITE, BLOG & BOOKS: www.safetyphd.com.

Dawn Schiller was fifteen years old in 1976, when her family moved into an apartment complex managed by 32- year-old porn star John Holmes. Holmes courted Dawn, had sex with her, and manipulated her with drugs and alcohol. Holmes physically and emotionally abused Dawn for several years while prostituting her on the streets of Hollywood, brothels and to drug dealers. After the famed Wonderland murders in 1981, they fled to Florida, where she ultimately broke free and turned him over to the police.

Hillary and Tina cover Operation Greylord and Nevada State Controller Kathy Augustine. Hillary's Story Like most state's, Illinois's Cook County's judicial system covered a myriad of cases from minor infractions to serious felony charges. BUT, when the FBI gets wind that judges and other court officials were on the take, they put forward a decade's long undercover operation to stop public corruption. Tina's Story Kathy Augustine served as Nevada State senator from 1995-1999 and then went on to be the first female state controller. BUT when she died suddenly in 2006, police suspected foul play.

"The mess and the beauty are really tied together." - Joshua van Cleef Season 4, Episode 5 of Messy Jesus Business podcast, hosted by Sister Julia Walsh. LISTEN HERE: IN THIS EPISODE: In this episode of Messy Jesus Business, Sister Julia Walsh talks with Ellen Salmi van Cleef and Joshua van Cleef about how they became missionaries serving in Eastern Kentucky, and what being a missionary today is all about. "I feel really blessed that the way that I learned what being a missionary was, was really rooted in presence," Ellen explains, "in being present to people and in being present to God and God's voice in your life." They discuss how Catholic imagination challenges the ability for lay people to lead, serve and animate the Gospel in the ways that they are called. They reflect upon how serving in a rural environment invites people to contemplation, and how observing beauty directs us toward God. And, they explore the mess as a natural part of Gospel living,  and how God is with us in the mess of life and service. "The mess and the beauty are really tied together," said Joshua. "And that's my experience of being a missionary, especially here, and in my own life too. Because God's in here with me in the mess, then the beauty is right there too, and they're bound in some way." ABOUT THE GUESTS: Ellen Salmi van Cleef and Joshua van Cleef serve as missionaries in Eastern Kentucky. In 2016, they were installed together by the Bishop John Stowe OFM, to lead a small Appalachian parish in the absence of an ordained pastor. Ellen recently started serving as Associate Director of Evangelization for the Marist Brothers, and Joshua leads the parish as Parish Life Director. He also serves the diocese as the Director of the Peace and Justice Office. This May, Ellen and Joshua became parents to their first child, Joy. They live in a log cabin on 50 acres in the mountains, and share the property with lots of chickens, cats, and other creatures. Contemplative moment is a reading from Luke 4:16-21.

Most disappearances happen quickly. Someone is there one moment and gone the next. But when 19-year-old Bryce Laspisa disappeared from California in 2013, it was the culmination of three days of strange behavior, driving, and contact with his family and law enforcement. In part one of Bryce's story, we discuss the three day period that saw the college student unexpectedly break up with his girlfriend and start a 90-mile drive that ended up stretching over days and hundreds of miles. What led Bryce to drive past his apartment and continue down the interstate, and what kept him from going home, even though his parents were begging him to?

On today's show, I interview Sharron Fletcher. Sharron is a Lead Victim Justice Specialist in the U.S. Department of Justice Office for Victims of Crime. I met her in 1999 shortly after I moved to the Washington D.C. metro area. Her friend, colleague and my Delta Sigma Sorority line sister Erin, introduced us. I recall that meeting clearly because Sharron was nearly bald. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/hairhowigrewit/message

Dawn Sanchez goes missing with zero evidence of what happened aside from an eye witness who refuses to testify. The main suspect is let go due to lack of evidence until years later when investigators get a tip. The tip indicates Dawn's body may have been there at one point, but she still wasn't found. Police were grabbing at straws until they enlisted the help of NASA.

Episode Summary1) Navigating an environment that has not been made for you or to support you is difficult at best. It is left to you to figure out how best to exist in this world, unfortunately. 2) Professional networks ARE so important to helping Black women and other minority women in finding that balance and sense of self in this world3) The work that Iris and others are doing is soooooooooooooo important, however they cannot do it alone. Allies are needed, but not the superficial, surface level ones that don't actually mean what they say or do anything outside of saying meaningless words.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has been targeted as a top enemy of the Chinese regime with the CCP's mouthpiece TV station calling him the "common enemy of mankind." Other state-media have chimed in and even called Pompeo a "fat pig." Meanwhile, Dr. Li-Meng Yan, a Chinese virologist who defected to the United States, had her account suspended by Twitter after publishing a research paper that suggests the novel coronavirus had a lab origin. Dr. Yan and others are now criticizing Twitter for restricting scientific research based on political interests. Meanwhile, it appears the two main political factions in China are now fighting for financial power. These would be the faction under Xi Jinping, the head of the Party, and another faction led by former Party leader Jiang Zemin. And in the United States, the Trump administration is now investigating the investigators when it comes to the team of former Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who ran the Trump-Russia investigations. It has now been revealed that when the Department of Justice Office of Inspector General went to review the devices of the investigative team, Mueller’s team had erased the data on many of the phones for various reasons. To learn more about this, and its significance, we’ve invited to speak with us today Marc Ruskin, who is a 27-year veteran of the FBI.

Those who follow the Brave Educator podcast likely noted when a week ago, June 15, 2020 there was no Monday episode. I called it "taking a week off," but the truth is, the episode was already recorded. Not unlike the poem or prose I skip over in memoirs about the sexual violence, the rape, that I survived as a child, it's sometimes easier to just try to forget. I met Amita Swadhin back in January 2016 at USC during an Education Summit I directed. It was the first time in an education space I heard someone talk about sexual trauma. It was uncomfortable, but it was among a few moments when I felt I'd encountered someone more brave than me; and so it pushed me to consider those strategic silences I held onto. I could talk about being queer, about being HIV positive, about racial trauma...but not that. The reality is that it's still scary; and the scars that the experience had on me as a young child, has been not just a part of my struggle, but my story. I'm not who I am today without it. In Season 1, Episode 7, Amita and I talk about why the sexual violence we survived as children, far from making us less capable as professionals, makes us better at what we do. It's 10:15 pm on the day I generally share the new podcast first in the morning. Maybe I'm still nervous about releasing it. Perhaps a part of me fears what exposing this may mean for how others view me going forward. Maybe they will see me as all the more brave. Maybe they will understand what it feels like to be on a life-long journey ... to be protected.Amita Swadhin is an educator, storyteller, activist and consultant dedicated to fighting interpersonal and institutional violence against young people. Her commitments and approach to this work stem from her experiences as a genderqueer, femme queer woman of color, daughter of immigrants, and years of abuse by her parents, including eight years of rape by her father. They are a frequent speaker at colleges, conferences and community organizations nationwide, and a consultant with over fifteen years of experience in nonprofits serving low-income, immigrant and LGBTQ youth of color in Los Angeles and New York City. Amita has been publicly out as a survivor of child sexual abuse since she interned at the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Violence Against Women in 1997. In 2016, Amita received a two-year Just Beginnings Collaborative Fellowship, allowing them to work full-time to end child sexual abuse and to help survivors heal. From March 2012 to September 2015, Amita was the Los Angeles Executive Director of Peer Health Exchange, a national nonprofit empowering teens to make healthy decisions. In the fall of 2015, they were the Interim Executive Director of API Equality-LA, whose mission is to build power in the Asian and Pacific Islander community to achieve LGBTQ equality and racial and social justice. Amita has held positions at Legal Momentum, Global Kids, Make the Road NY, Sadie Nash Leadership Project and Kingsborough Community College (CUNY), and served as the final Board Chair of the National Youth Advocacy Coalition, a national organization advocating for and with LGBTQ youth. Amita is also a published author. Their writing has been featured on The Feminist Wire and The Huffington Post, and in the anthologies Dear Sister: Letters from Survivors of Sexual Violence (AK Press, 2014) and Queering Sexual Violence (Magnus Books, 2016). She holds a Master's in Public Administration degree from New York University, where she was a Catherine B. Reynolds Fellow in Social Entrepreneurship, and a BS in Foreign Service from Georgetown University.

Kai Munshi is a Security Manager for a Federal Agency based in Georgia.   Federal Law Enforcement for 16 years previously serving with: S. Department of Justice – Office of Inspector General in Washington, D.C. as a Special Agent S. Secret Service as a Special Agent in Denver Field Office and later with the Counter Assault Team in Washington, D.C. Prior to becoming a Special Agent, served for 8 years as an infantry officer in the U.S. Marine Corps (peacetime service -- no combat deployments) with: 3rd Marine Division in Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii Marine Corps Ground Defense Security Forces in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba Marine Corps Combat Development Command in Quantico, Virginia   My proudest professional accomplishment is earning the title of a U.S. Marine and serving as an infantry officer.   My experience as a Marine instilled a set of values, physical and mental fortitude, and drive to succeed that define my work ethic.  That experience early in my adult life also helped me become extremely adaptable to change.  I embrace change and love it.    Personally (and most importantly), I absolutely adore and am very proud of my wife and daughters.  They are kind, loyal, funny, and inspire me to be a better man.  I am very passionate about the concept of authentic leadership.  There are a lot of different definitions of an authentic leader but mine would be an individual who is self-aware of their strengths and weakness, leads with integrity, has purpose, puts others above themselves, and doesn't pretend to be something they are not.  The world is seriously lacking in these types of individuals.  My mission at the present time is to develop into a truly authentic leader – a man who leads with the same conviction at home that he does at work.   If I am being consistent and truly genuine in all my interactions, my friends and family should see me in the same light as my co-workers, subordinates, and superiors.   

In today's Federal Newscast, the Department of Justice Office of Inspector General conducts an audit to see how well DOJ is handling the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund.

It has a miniscule budget of $3 million. The Obama administration considered merging it with some other agency, and now the Trump administration is considering closing the State Department's Office of Global Criminal Justice. Supporters say the office symbolizes the U.S. commitment to human rights. Opponents say the whole operation is hypocritical because it overlooks abuses by allies. For analysis, Federal Drive with Tom Temin turns to Ambassador Clint Williamson, now a law professor at Arizona State University.

Jason and Steven discuss the fraud case against Trump University that his office brought several years ago and recently settled. They then discuss the role of states, progressive and conservative, in challenging federal policies that are adverse to the interests of citizens of states or the state's own interests. Finally, Jason asks Steven a few lightning round question about New York's role in debates about healthcare, climate change, and voting rights.The episode concludes with a few quick Trump Lumps and listener feedback.
