Podcast appearances and mentions of Ken Starr

Darren Indyke was one of Jeffrey Epstein's longest-serving and most important lawyers, operating less like a courtroom-only defense attorney and more like a central legal-business figure inside Epstein's private empire. He handled Epstein-related corporate, estate, trust, and legal affairs for years, was named as one of the executors of Epstein's estate, and later became a major figure in litigation brought by victims who alleged that Epstein's financial and legal infrastructure helped facilitate and conceal abuse. Indyke and Epstein accountant Richard Kahn were accused in civil litigation of helping maintain the machinery around Epstein, though they denied wrongdoing and reached a settlement without admitting liability. Indyke's role matters because he was not simply a late-stage defense lawyer brought in after arrest; he was embedded in Epstein's long-term legal and financial structure.Ken Starr entered Epstein's orbit during the Florida federal investigation and became part of the high-powered legal team that helped Epstein secure the infamous 2008 non-prosecution agreement. Starr's involvement was especially controversial because he had been one of the most famous prosecutors in America, yet in Epstein's case he helped apply pressure from the defense side during the negotiations that produced a deal widely condemned as extraordinarily lenient. David Schoen also represented Epstein briefly near the end of Epstein's life in 2019, visiting him shortly before his death and later speaking publicly about Epstein and the unresolved questions surrounding the case. Taken together, Indyke, Starr, and Schoen represent three different layers of Epstein's legal protection: the longtime insider lawyer, the elite plea-deal strategist, and the late-stage criminal defense attorney brought in during Epstein's final federal prosecution.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Send us Fan MailEpisode #13 will take you into the room where Ken Starr was the guest speaker to a group of interested winery owners and personnel to discuss the next steps to take just 90 days after the landmark Supreme Court ruling in Granholm v Heald that opened up direct shipping of wine from the producer to the consumer in most of this country back in 2005.I was a participant at this luncheon, albeit reluctant at first, as I was six weeks into my recovery from a heart attack and a 5-level bypass surgery. But, I became active and found myself taking charge as the majority of the winery personnel in the room stayed on the sidelines when Ken Starr was explaining he believed that the Federal Trade Commission would be willing to go further to help knock down more of the anti-competitive barriers that wineries still faced as a vestige of the post-prohibition era.I stood up and started speaking when I should have stayed seated. But I couldn't let this opportunity to take on Franchise Laws pass us by. I ended up founding an organization I named Wine Free Trade Coalition, or W FTC if you will to establish a 501 (c6) non-profit organization to fund the effort. Take a listen.Thanks for being a listener to the Fine Wine Confidential Podcast.

Jeffrey Epstein's legal team didn't just negotiate within the normal bounds of the U.S. Attorney's Office in South Florida—they deliberately went over Alex Acosta's head and straight to Department of Justice leadership in Washington. When local prosecutors appeared resistant to the sweeping immunity Epstein wanted, his lawyers escalated the matter to Main Justice, reframing the case as a broader federal concern rather than a local sex-crimes prosecution. That pressure campaign paid off. Senior DOJ officials ultimately signed off on the notorious Non-Prosecution Agreement, an extraordinary deal that shielded Epstein from federal charges and quietly immunized unnamed co-conspirators—a move that short-circuited what could have been a devastating national prosecution and locked victims out of the process.In this episode, newly surfaced correspondence pulls back the curtain on how that deal was engineered at the highest levels, including emails and letters involving Kenneth Starr, one of Epstein's most powerful defense attorneys. The exchanges show Starr communicating directly with DOJ brass, using his institutional clout and legal gravitas to press Epstein's case far beyond ordinary advocacy. Rather than a routine plea negotiation, the correspondence reveals a coordinated, top-down lobbying effort that treated Epstein as a problem to be managed, not prosecuted—raising disturbing questions about favoritism, backchannel influence, and how justice was quietly bent to accommodate one of the most well-connected defendants in modern American criminal history.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:EFTA00013989.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The recently released 2007 draft federal indictment against Jeffrey Epstein reveals the full scope of charges that were prepared but never filed. The 56-page document outlined 32 felony counts involving 19 girls under the age of 18, spanning a six-year period from 2001 to 2007. The charges included conspiracy to defraud the United States, sex trafficking of minors, enticement of a minor, and facilitating unlawful travel for illicit sex acts. Twenty-five of these counts carried potential life sentences with mandatory minimums between 10 and 15 years. Federal prosecutors in West Palm Beach had assembled exhaustive evidence and prepared an 82-page prosecution memo to support the indictment. Instead of facing these charges, Epstein's high-priced legal team, including Ken Starr and Alan Dershowitz, negotiated a plea deal with US Attorney Alex Acosta that allowed Epstein to plead guilty to just two state charges. He served only 13 months in county jail with work release privileges, leaving the facility daily to work from his office. The draft indictment details how Epstein targeted vulnerable teenage girls, many from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, and operated a systematic sex trafficking operation with the assistance of employees whose names remain redacted. The document reveals threats made to victims and a pattern of abuse that could have resulted in over 100 years of prison time if prosecuted. Hawk examines the legal framework, the specific charges, and the failure of justice that allowed Epstein to continue abusing minors for another 11 years until his 2019 arrest and death.

Ken Starr's involvement on Jeffrey Epstein's legal team marked a decisive turning point in how Epstein was treated by the justice system. As a former U.S. Solicitor General and a figure deeply embedded in elite legal and political circles, Ken Starr brought instant credibility and institutional weight to Epstein's defense. His presence signaled to prosecutors that Epstein was not just another criminal defendant but someone backed by establishment power capable of applying pressure at the highest levels. Starr's role was not merely symbolic. He was instrumental in shaping the posture of Epstein's legal strategy, helping frame Epstein as a privileged offender deserving extraordinary consideration rather than a serial abuser running a trafficking operation. That framing mattered, because it subtly shifted negotiations away from accountability and toward accommodation.By lending his reputation to Epstein, Starr helped tilt the balance in negotiations with federal prosecutors in Epstein's favor, culminating in outcomes that defied normal prosecutorial standards. The now-infamous non-prosecution agreement did not emerge in a vacuum. It was the product of aggressive lawyering by figures like Starr who understood how to exploit discretion, personal relationships, and institutional risk aversion inside the Justice Department. With Starr involved, the case ceased to be about victims and evidence and became a political and reputational problem the government wanted to make disappear. His participation helped normalize a result that insulated Epstein from federal charges, protected unnamed co-conspirators, and ensured Epstein faced minimal consequences. In doing so, Starr did not just defend a client. He helped demonstrate how elite legal power can bend the justice system until it breaks in favor of the well-connected.to contacat me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

*Trigger Warning: SA and general depravity*A dive into some of the 20,000 Epstein emails and texts that were released by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on November 12, 2025. They show convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein having lively conversations with a multitude of pathetic men. In this pod, we dive into the subject matter of those conversations and explain who those men are/were. From strategizing about Woody Allen's defense against revived sexual abuse allegations from his daughter (not the one he married), to making light of the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, to advising married men in their quests to sleep with other women, the emails reveal glimpses of a perverted web of connections. Some of the most chilling messages are between Epstein and Steve Bannon discussing Russia, Hitler, the middle east, meetings that influenced Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court confirmation, and their consequent anticipation to overturn the Chevron case. Other Epstein buddies mentioned include Larry Summers, Ken Starr, Alan Dershowitz, Larry Krauss, and Tom Barrack. All opinions are personal and not representative of any outside company, person, or agenda.

Ken Starr, once known for his independent counsel's investigation into President Bill Clinton, was later tied to Epstein in essentially the opposite role: legal defense. Starr joined Epstein's defense team in 2007 just before Epstein's widely criticized plea-deal in Florida. Starr was “in the room” when then-U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta negotiated the agreement that allowed Epstein to plead to lesser state charges, serve a relatively light sentence, and avoid a deeper federal trafficking prosecution. Critics argue Starr helped mount what has been described as a “scorched-earth campaign” in which he and Epstein's attorneys pressured the U.S. Justice Department to drop or reduce charges, undermining accountability for Epstein's alleged trafficking of minors.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Send us a textI may not agree with his every conclusion about the history of the Special Prosecutor and Special Counsel office  and the people who have held it. But I can say that I could find no fault with how this one man handled the job. The Special Counsel and Special Prosecutors Office, begun in 1974, as a way to investigate the sitting President and his staff for alleged wrongdoing, has a history so awful, with so much wrongdoing itself, that it is literally almost impossible to defend as an institution. I don't think the abuse of power has any equal in our governmental history. The shameful conduct of Archibald Cox, Leon Jaworski, Richard Ben-Veniste, Henry Ruth, Lawrence Walsh, Ken Starr, and even the behaviour of our modern day investigators in the Trump-Biden-Trump era is enough to make even the worst tyrants blush. In my opinion, there are possibly two exceptions to this appalling record of power hungry maleficence, Robert Hurr, who investigated the records found in Joe Biden's garage, and Robert Fiske, the original Whitewater Scandal Special Prosecutor. Both men laid out what they saw in detail, and then either walked away, or were in the process of doing so when they were replaced. You cannot ask for anything more than that. In this episode, we get a real treat, as Robert Fiske traveled to Vermont to speak on the history of the Special Prosecutor and Special Counsel Offices and put the Robert Mueller Investigation into historical context. That investigation was ongoing when this lecture occured. The lecture was hosted by the Vermont Law and Graduate School and it runs nearly an hour. I may not agree with all of his opinions on the office, but I certainly can say, I always agreed with his decisions when he held the power to destroy people, and didn't, always looking at the facts and not trying to further his own career at the expense of others.  Questions or comments at , Randalrgw1@aol.com , https://twitter.com/randal_wallace , and http://www.randalwallace.com/Please Leave us a review at wherever you get your podcastsThanks for listening!!

01:00:42 – Opening & 9/11 UpdatesThe show opens by marking September 11, 2025, with reflections on 9/11 anniversaries and pivots immediately to breaking news: the assassination of Charlie Kirk and NATO's escalations in Europe. 01:02:09 – Charlie Kirk's Murder & Free SpeechDiscussion on the killing of Charlie Kirk, focusing on his young family, his role in encouraging open debate on campuses, and how his assassination reflects the dangers of a violent culture that equates speech with violence. 01:17:00 – Media's Reaction to Kirk ShootingAnalysis of MSNBC's coverage, accused of exploiting Kirk's assassination for partisan narratives, contrasted with CNN and Fox News' restrained reporting. Media bias and political exploitation of violence are central themes. 01:27:00 – Rising Political ViolenceA segment on the “Fourth Turning” cycle: five assassination attempts within a year, including Kirk, Trump, and others. The speakers warn this trend reflects America's descent into normalized political violence and deepening civil conflict. 01:50:07 – NATO Drone Crisis & War PushFocus shifts to Poland and NATO, with claims that Prime Minister Donald Tusk is using stray Russian drones as a pretext to escalate toward World War III. Parallels are drawn to Syria and false-flag provocations. 02:08:45 – New World Order & Health CrisisEuropean Commission's Ursula von der Leyen is quoted warning of a looming global health crisis, framed as another opportunity to centralize power. The hosts tie this rhetoric to broader themes of globalism, technocracy, and “New World Order” ambitions. 02:14:17 – Shooter Linked to Radical LeftReports suggest the Charlie Kirk assassin was a college-aged radical, with universities described as “Marxist seminaries” fueling violent ideology. 02:18:41 – Civil War TrapWarnings that both parties are pushing Americans toward a civil war, which would bring mass death and government crackdowns, just as after the first Civil War. 02:24:24 – Tucker Carlson's 9/11 Cover-UpCarlson's upcoming 9/11 documentary is blasted as controlled opposition. He's accused of hiding Building 7 evidence and running CIA-style propaganda. 02:29:23 – Israeli Foreknowledge of 9/11FBI reports of “Israeli art students” surveilling U.S. sites and filming the attacks are examined, with claims U.S. intelligence may have used Israel as cover. 02:35:14 – Gold vs. Fake EconomyTony Arterburn joins to show how gold is the “real stablecoin” amid fake job reports, manipulated markets, and central bank hoarding. 02:56:48 – CBDC Trojan Horse: The GENIUS ActThe new Genius Act is framed as a backdoor to eliminate cash, wipe out small banks, and impose full surveillance through stablecoins. 03:17:29 – Trump's Tariff DelusionTariffs are framed as taxes that make nations poorer, not richer. Trump is blasted for adopting economic policies resembling “third world” countries while claiming they'll bring investment. 03:23:01 – America's Declining Trade FreedomDiscussion of how the U.S. fell from 8th to 53rd place in global trade freedom rankings. Tariffs and capital controls are shown as barriers that punish Americans while eroding prosperity. 03:27:33 – Tariffs Destroying Small BusinessReal-world examples highlight how tariffs cripple industries like guitar-making and surfboards by driving up costs of foreign materials. Trump and Peter Navarro are ridiculed for boneheaded, short-sighted trade policy. 03:32:01 – Trump Hypocrisy on Free SpeechTrump is accused of hollow rhetoric after praising Charlie Kirk's “free speech,” while simultaneously cracking down on students protesting Gaza.

01:00:42 – Opening & 9/11 UpdatesThe show opens by marking September 11, 2025, with reflections on 9/11 anniversaries and pivots immediately to breaking news: the assassination of Charlie Kirk and NATO's escalations in Europe. 01:02:09 – Charlie Kirk's Murder & Free SpeechDiscussion on the killing of Charlie Kirk, focusing on his young family, his role in encouraging open debate on campuses, and how his assassination reflects the dangers of a violent culture that equates speech with violence. 01:17:00 – Media's Reaction to Kirk ShootingAnalysis of MSNBC's coverage, accused of exploiting Kirk's assassination for partisan narratives, contrasted with CNN and Fox News' restrained reporting. Media bias and political exploitation of violence are central themes. 01:27:00 – Rising Political ViolenceA segment on the “Fourth Turning” cycle: five assassination attempts within a year, including Kirk, Trump, and others. The speakers warn this trend reflects America's descent into normalized political violence and deepening civil conflict. 01:50:07 – NATO Drone Crisis & War PushFocus shifts to Poland and NATO, with claims that Prime Minister Donald Tusk is using stray Russian drones as a pretext to escalate toward World War III. Parallels are drawn to Syria and false-flag provocations. 02:08:45 – New World Order & Health CrisisEuropean Commission's Ursula von der Leyen is quoted warning of a looming global health crisis, framed as another opportunity to centralize power. The hosts tie this rhetoric to broader themes of globalism, technocracy, and “New World Order” ambitions. 02:14:17 – Shooter Linked to Radical LeftReports suggest the Charlie Kirk assassin was a college-aged radical, with universities described as “Marxist seminaries” fueling violent ideology. 02:18:41 – Civil War TrapWarnings that both parties are pushing Americans toward a civil war, which would bring mass death and government crackdowns, just as after the first Civil War. 02:24:24 – Tucker Carlson's 9/11 Cover-UpCarlson's upcoming 9/11 documentary is blasted as controlled opposition. He's accused of hiding Building 7 evidence and running CIA-style propaganda. 02:29:23 – Israeli Foreknowledge of 9/11FBI reports of “Israeli art students” surveilling U.S. sites and filming the attacks are examined, with claims U.S. intelligence may have used Israel as cover. 02:35:14 – Gold vs. Fake EconomyTony Arterburn joins to show how gold is the “real stablecoin” amid fake job reports, manipulated markets, and central bank hoarding. 02:56:48 – CBDC Trojan Horse: The GENIUS ActThe new Genius Act is framed as a backdoor to eliminate cash, wipe out small banks, and impose full surveillance through stablecoins. 03:17:29 – Trump's Tariff DelusionTariffs are framed as taxes that make nations poorer, not richer. Trump is blasted for adopting economic policies resembling “third world” countries while claiming they'll bring investment. 03:23:01 – America's Declining Trade FreedomDiscussion of how the U.S. fell from 8th to 53rd place in global trade freedom rankings. Tariffs and capital controls are shown as barriers that punish Americans while eroding prosperity. 03:27:33 – Tariffs Destroying Small BusinessReal-world examples highlight how tariffs cripple industries like guitar-making and surfboards by driving up costs of foreign materials. Trump and Peter Navarro are ridiculed for boneheaded, short-sighted trade policy. 03:32:01 – Trump Hypocrisy on Free SpeechTrump is accused of hollow rhetoric after praising Charlie Kirk's “free speech,” while simultaneously cracking down on students protesting Gaza. His response to the shooting is dismissed as political theater. 03:34:27 – Mossad & 9/11 OperationsConversation shifts to Israeli involvement in 9/11, citing “Israeli art students,” Mossad-linked moving companies, and Marvin Bush's security contracts at the Trade Towers. The U.S.-Israel connection is framed as deep and corrupt. 03:52:36 – Epstein, Banks & the GOP Cover-UpThe Epstein scandal is revisited, with J.P.

Ken Starr—a former independent counsel famed for the Clinton–Lewinsky investigation—was one of the high-powered attorneys who joined Epstein's defense team during the 2006–2008 case in Florida. Starr's influence proved pivotal; according to Miami Herald reporter Julie K. Brown's book Perversion of Justice, he orchestrated a “scorched‑earth” campaign that leveraged his political connections in the Bush administration to pressure the Justice Department into approving a highly favorable plea deal for Epstein. Starr even wrote an aggressive eight‑page letter to Deputy Attorney General Mark Filip arguing that prosecutors were acting improperly—an approach reminiscent of Starr's own high-profile “Starr Report” while investigating President ClintonThough Starr's aggressive defense helped secure Epstein's notorious 2008 non‑prosecution agreement—which shielded Epstein from broader federal trafficking charges and limited his punishment to just over a year in county jail under lenient conditions—there's no record of any serious repercussions for Starr himself. His legal tactics may be viewed as emblematic of how elite influence and aggressive lobbying can skew justice in favor of the powerful, but Starr faced no formal sanctions or professional fallout from his involvementTo contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comSource:https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jul/13/ken-starr-jeffrey-epstein-book

Jeffrey Epstein assembled a veritable A‑list of legal heavyweights to shield him from accountability—turning what should have been a reckoning into a masterclass in how the elite evade justice. You had Alan Dershowitz, the Harvard law legend, negotiating a sweetheart 2008 non-prosecution deal that let Epstein skate on federal charges, then using op‑eds to furiously deny any wrongdoing or conspiracies (even when the evidence was staring everyone in the face). And then there was Ken Starr, the same prosecutor who once hounded Bill Clinton, now orchestrating a scorched‑earth defense that helped bury Epstein's crimes under legal privilege and political influence. Don't forget Jay Lefkowitz, who artfully spun Epstein not as a predator, but as a unique “benevolent benefactor,” pulling every lever to keep victims in the dark and prosecutors off his trail.On the other side, the composition of Epstein's legal representation illustrates the imbalance of resources that often defines high-profile cases. Figures such as Darren Indyke, his longtime personal lawyer, focused on managing the estate, finances, and the countless legal disputes that arose after Epstein's arrest and death.To contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://abovethelaw.com/2019/07/jeffrey-epsteins-arrest-forces-us-to-ask-which-dirtbag-lawyers-in-this-case-will-face-their-own-music/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Send us a textFew offices in the history of our government have produced more harm, to more people, more often, and more efficiently that the office created in 1973 to investigate the Watergate Scandal. The Special Prosecutor's statute stayed on the books the rest of the 20th century and was used to wound the reelection campaign of George H. W. Bush, and then cripple the final years of the Presidency of Bill Clinton. It has horribly damaged the historical legacies of four United States Presidents: Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, and Bill Clinton. Ironically, the very party who dreamed this evil institution up, the Democratic Party,  was the same one to end it when the statue expired in 1999, but only after it had been effectively used to demolish a President of their own party, even as the Impeachment attempt failed to remove Bill Clinton from office.  Then congress invented its bastardized cousin, the Special Counsel statue. While it does have some modest restraints compared to the absolute total powers of the Special Prosecutor's statute, the record of abuse there may not be fully known until our current era, centered around Donald Trump, is over. As we look back at the 1992 Presidential Election and its controversial end. We thought this the perfect opportunity to show to our listeners the full impact of the 30 years of dishonesty that has been used to devastatingly wound four American Presidencies. But even worse than the damage done to the institution of the Presidency is the personal destruction it has wrought on the innocent aids to these Presidents. Often young men and women, whose only real crime was earnestly wanting to play role in the history of the nation and seize the opportunity so few people get in life, the chance to work for the President of the United States. Instead, many faced prison time, and were financially wiped out, while the most dastardly, horrible , unethical people you could have ever dreamed up paraded themselves on television and in books as lawyers who champion justice while playing on the trusting nature of a naive public that still believes that our Justice System is the one uncorrupted branch of government left in the land. Here we lay everything out, the abuses of power, and the intentionally corrupt birth of the most evil office our government has ever created. We hope it will serve as a warning for what we have seen in our more modern times, so that perhaps wise heads will see to it that this institution dies, with a stake through its heart. Like this bloodsucking vampire of an institution of division and destruction  truly deserves.  Boundless Insights - with Aviva KlompasIn depth analysis of what's happening in Israel—and why it matters everywhere.Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifyQuestions or comments at , Randalrgw1@aol.com , https://twitter.com/randal_wallace , and http://www.randalwallace.com/Please Leave us a review at wherever you get your podcastsThanks for listening!!

Best of week...ends.

Even after the New York DA's position with respect to a dismissal of Donald Trump's New York case was filed, there are lingering questions about what happens next with his other criminal cases as he begins his transition back to power and unveils his cabinet nominees. MSNBC legal analysts Mary McCord and Andrew Weissmann give an insider's perspective on what a final report in the DC case might look like from Special Counsel Jack Smith, as is a requirement within the special counsel rules. What will it encapsulate? And will it be made public? Next up: a few cases involving J6 rioters have been denied a stay, while others have had their trials postponed, but an overarching theme is that Trump's immunity should not extend to these defendants. And finally, Mary and Andrew ‘nerd out' on the Constitutional process of how a recess appointment works, why the early framers thought it necessary, and how the president-elect is angling to use it to avoid the Senate's long held role of advice and consent when it comes to political appointees.  Want to listen to this show without ads?

David Kendall sits down with David Oscar Markus to discuss the impeachment trial of President Bill Clinton.Independent counsel, impeachment hearings, infidelity. No, we aren't talking about Donald Trump. Instead, we head back to the late 90s to discuss David Kendall's incredible representation of President Bill Clinton. The high stakes showdown between Kendall and independent counsel Ken Starr was must-see TV, and we get into the fascinating stories from that era in this episode of For the Defense.

Please send any guest recs, dissents, and other comments to dish@andrewsullivan.com.Here's a fan of last week's episode with Anne Applebaum:I loved your freewheeling interview with Applebaum. Just like the last time she was on, each of you gave as good as you got.I tend to agree more with her, because I fear that sometimes you come off as what Jeane Kirkpatrick called the “blame America first crowd” — not that we haven't committed our sins. But if we didn't exist, Putin would still be evil and want to recreate the Warsaw Pact, and the mullahs in Iran would still be fanatics despite our CIA involvement. It's complicated.Another on foreign policy:I despise Putin, my sympathies are totally with the Ukrainians, and I get angry when people like Rod Dreher and Tucker Carlson imply that the Russians were forced by the West to invade Ukraine. But, so what! You hit the nail on the head with the Obama quote — that Ukraine is never going to mean as much to us as it does to them (the Russians). You also made another very good point that the Russians can't even conquer Ukraine, but we're supposed to fear they will march West? How they going to do that?!Another took issue with several things from Anne:You raised the immigration issue, and Applebaum completely dismissed it: Hungary doesn't have a migrant crisis. … Because it's a useful symbol [to] create fear and anxiety. … This is the oldest political trick in the book, and the creation of an imaginary culture war is one of the ways in which you build support among a more fearful part of the population.WTF? Are Hungarians not allowed to see what is happening in every other European country that has allowed mass migration and see the problems it has caused and proactively decide to prevent this?! Are they not allowed to be concerned until Budapest has the banlieues of Paris, the car bombing gangs of Sweden, and the grooming gangs of England?! And in Germany, it has been recently reported that almost half of people receiving social payments are migrants.Applebaum followed that up with an even bigger gobsmacker about Biden's cognitive decline: “This is another road I don't want to go down, but I know people who met with Joe Biden a couple months ago, and he was fine” (meaning I just want to make my statement but will not allow you a rebuttal). And then:I've met [Harris] a few times, mostly in the context of conversations about foreign policy and about Russia and Ukraine and other things. And she's an intelligent conversationalist. … I was impressed with her. And these are way off-the-record conversations... And I was always more impressed with how she was off the record. And then I would sometimes see her in public. And I thought, she seems very stiff and nervous. … You'd like her if you met her in real life.Translation of both of these excerpts: “You plebes who aren't insiders just don't understand, but trust me — the connected insider — instead of your lying eyes.”Another adds:I think for the next few months, you're going to have to push people like Anne Applebaum to be more open to criticizing the Biden-Harris record. She's a smart person with important things to say, but she clearly dared not criticize the current administration, lest she be seen as helping Trump. And another:She says, unironically, that autocrats rig court systems with exotic new lawfare to attack their political enemies to seize or cling to power. I wonder what that makes Alvin Bragg and Merrick Garland.This Dishhead listened to the episode with his teenage son:The notion that Trump supporters want a dictator is beyond ridiculous. They are among the most individualistic and freedom-loving people in America. They are the Jacksonians, the Scots-Irish heart of this country. They are ornery as hell, and if Trump tried to force them into anything, he'd have another thing coming.  Just look how he tried to get them to take “his” vaccine. That didn't work out so well, did it? The truth is, they view people like Anne as the ones who are taking away their rights and freedoms through their absolute dominance of the media and all cultural institutions. Now maybe Trump will deliver them from that and maybe he won't, but that is what they are seeking — not a dictator, but someone who will break the hideous grip that the liberal elite has on the culture.My son is 18 years old and was also listening to the episode. He is highly engaged in national and world affairs, and he also thought Anne was way off track. He's already announced to his mother (much to her chagrin) that he will be casting his first vote for Trump. And get this: he's going to Oberlin College this fall. I can assure you he's not looking for a dictator. He's looking to say “eff you” to a system that has no use for upper-class, normal white boys like him. The elites hate him and his friends.But I'm glad you have a diversity of views on the Dishcast. It really is the best. I look forward to listening to it every week.I can't back Trump, but I do think your son is onto something. On a few other episodes:Lionel Shriver — I love her! I wished you'd talked more about her novel, Mania. It's not perfect, but it's good.On the Stephen Fry pod, I was resistant! He's irritated me at times. But I loved it when you two started doing Larkin! I shouldn't admit this, but “Aubade” could be my autobiography. I think one or both of you misinterpret “Church Going.” Larkin doesn't wish he had faith. I don't think that's relevant to him. Fry talked about how he liked everything about Anglicanism except for the detail about God (and I always suspect that for Anglicans, God is a somewhat troubling detail). I'm probably just guessing, but I don't think that's Larkin. Larkin didn't wish he had faith. He was elegiac about the past in which there was faith. I think you'll see this sensibility in “An Arundel Tomb.”Agreed. Another on Shriver:She seems to think that “liberals” are mistaken in believing that everyone can be equal, but I think she is mistaken in thinking that is what they believe — at least those I know. Liberals do think that 1) expectations play a role in what people achieve; and 2) given the right circumstances, many people find they can achieve more than was expected. Low expectations do lead to low outcomes (and yes, there is research to support that statement). Does that mean everyone can do anything they wish? No. Neither you nor I will ever be a concert pianist, but let us not condemn everyone to the garbage heap based on false expectations.Thanks as always for your provocative discussions.Here's a guest rec:Musa Al Gharbi, a sociologist at Stony Brook, has written for Compact, American Affairs, and The Liberal Patriot. His forthcoming book, We Have Never Been Woke: The Cultural Contradictions of a New Elite, draws on Pierre Bourdieu's notions of cultural capital to analyze the ascendant symbolic capitalists — those who work in law, technology, nonprofits, academia, journalism and media, finance, civil service and the like — and how the ideology known as “wokeness” exists to entrench economic inequality and preserve the hegemony of this class. I have preordered the book, and it should be a timely read for an election in which class (education), not race, has become the preeminent dividing line in our politics.Here's a guest rec with pecs:I have a recommendation that may sound bonkers, but hear me out: Alan Ritchson, the actor whose career has taken off thanks to playing Jack Reacher on Reacher.The fact that he's really, really, really ridiculously good-looking is the least interesting thing about him. I'd love to hear a conversation between you and him for a few reasons. First, he's bipolar and speaks openly about it. Second, he started taking testosterone supplements after his body broke down from working out for Reacher, and he speaks openly about that too. Third, he's a devout evangelical Christian who speaks openly about his faith — and about his disgust with Christian nationalism and the hijacking of Christianity by many Trump supporters. Fourth, he posted what read to me as a thoughtful, sane critique of bad cops, thereby angering certain denizens of the Very Online Right. Thus, he could speak to a number of major Dishcast themes: mental illness, masculinity, and Christianity. To me, he manages to come across as a guy's guy whose comments on political matters sound like the result of actual reflection, rather than reflexively following a progressive script, which is how most celebrities come across. He's articulate, and the way he's navigating this cultural and political moment is fascinating. And if you do snag him, you should supplement the audio with video.Haha. But seriously, we're trying to keep the podcast fresh and this is a great out-of-the-box recommendation. Next up, the dissents over my views on Harris continue from the main page. A reader writes:I have no particular attachment to Kamala Harris, and share some of your concerns, but your latest column reads more like a Fox News hit piece than a real assessment. The main problem is that you seem to be judging Harris almost exclusively on the basis of statements she made in 2020, at the height of the Democrats' woke mania because of George Floyd. Do you not remember that she was destroyed in the primary because she was a prosecutor, and was to the right of almost everyone else in the primary, except for Biden and Sanders? That's why she lost: she wasn't woke enough. So as VP, of course she pivoted to shore up her appeal to the base, like any good politician would. It's terribly unfortunate that she had to tack hard left precisely as the country was moving back to the center and rejecting wokism, but that doesn't mean she's the “wokest candidate,” as you say. It just means she's a politician.My criticism also extended to her management and campaigning skills in the past. And look: I don't think it's fair to compare my attempt to review the evidence of her record with a Fox News hit-piece. It's important to understand her vulnerabilities as well as he core ideas, if she has any. This next reader thinks she is off to a good, non-woke start:I agree with your criticisms of Harris, at least some of them. We need to have stronger border enforcement, we can't have riots in cities, and racism is real but DEI excesses are also bad. And it's troubling that she has a history of being a bad boss. I can only hope that she has learned from her mistakes. But I take heart from her campaign speech in Wisconsin: she said not a word about DEI, nothing about “vote for me to show that you're not sexist/racist, because I'm a woman of color,” and not much about “Trump is a threat to democracy.” It was all, “I have experience dealing with sleazy crooks and sex offenders like Trump, and I want to help middle-class Americans and protect health care and a woman's right to choose.” Sounds like a popular message!You also say, “She is not a serious person.” Bro, have you *seen* the other party's candidate?

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.

In 1983, a 25 year old Nancy Cruzan was thrown from her car while driving home in Missouri, landing in a water filled ditch. She was resuscitated by EMS, but did not regain higher brain function, and was eventually diagnosed as being in a persistent vegetative state.  In 1988, Cruzan's parents requested that her feeding tube be removed, arguing that she would not want to continue in this state. The hospital refused without a court order, and the case eventually made its way to the Supreme Court. Arguing for the state of Missouri against the Cruzan's was Ken Starr, who would later be assigned the role of special prosecutor in the investigation of the Clintons (Whitewater, Lewensky, etc). In 1990 the Supreme Court ruled…for the state of Missouri.  On the one hand, this was unfortunate, as it meant Nancy Cruzan could not be disconnected from the feeding tube immediately. On the other hand, the ruling allowed states to set their own evidentiary standards to refuse or withdraw life sustaining interventions.  Missouri set a very high bar, explicit written documentation that applies to this specific circumstance, which the Cruzan's eventually cleared.  Other states set lower bars, including oral assignment of surrogate decision-makers. The Cruzan ruling led to a flood of interest in Advance Directives, and eventually to the Patient Self Determination Act, which mandates provision of information about advanced directives to all hospitalized patients. Today, we talk with Bernie Lo, prominent bioethicist and practicing primary care internist, and Laurie Dornbrand, geriatrician at the IOA On Lok PACE, about the legacy of Nancy Curzan.  We use Bernie's NEJM Perspective as a springboard for discussion.  We discuss, among other things: How and why in the 30 years since the Cruzan ruling the emphasis has shifted from advance directive forms to in-the-moment discussions And validating the importance of the advance directive forms in some circumstances, and in starting conversations The role of the clinician in engaging patients in advance care planning and in-the-moment serious illness conversation: what questions are important? What words to use? Is the POLST useful? How? Under what circumstances?  Should we abandon the term, “comfort measures?” In case you miss the introductions at the start of the podcast, Bernie and Laurie are married, and offer wonderful reminiscence of their clinical practice over the last several decades.  So when Bernie says, “I've heard you take these phone calls in the middle of the night, Laurie…” Now you know why! And great song choice: Both Sides Now by Joni Mitchell.  Joni suffered a stroke and had to completely re-learn how to play guitar.  Her comeback performances are inspirational, such as this one at the Newport Folk Festival, attended by another influential GeriPal couple, Sean Morrison and Diane Meier. You get to hear my stripped down Hawaiian slack key style version of Both Sides Now (easy to play with 2 fingers, still in rehab for broken hand, hoping to have full use again soon). Enjoy! -@AlexSmithMD  

SEASON 2 EPISODE 90: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: Dementia J. Trump has really lived up to the name. Or - DOWN to it. In a jaw-dropping development, even for him, even for his declining acuity, even in the vast Fog of Trump, he has just endorsed TWO rival candidates in the same congressional Republican primary. Saturday, at the Young Republicans banquet, Trump endorses Bo Hines, hoping to be chosen as the Republican running for North Carolina's 6th Congressional District. Then yesterday, Trump writes “Addison McDowell just announced he is running for North Carolina's 6th Congressional District… has my Complete and Total endorsement." There are SIX Republicans in the primary. Plenty of time for Trump to endorse all six of them. The primary isn't until the 5th of March. This should stop being a surprise.  The man is mentally impaired, declining fast, doesn't know which number World War the NEXT World War would be, continually confuses Obama for Biden, doesn't know what city he's in, thinks Hungary's Viktor Orban is the dictator of Turkey, and this is after he STARTED with any one (or more) of a dozen psychological and maybe physiological problems that could be summarized under the heading “his brain doesn't work right.” It is not just a question of what Trump would do that he wanted to do but thought he couldn't get away with the first time. It is also a question of what Trump would do that he would never know he was doing – out of sheer mental incapacitation. Like endorsing two candidates in the same race. Within 89 hours. Just to put a cherry on top of this cake of crazy, as I was recording the podcast Trump was speaking in Iowa. He was supposed to boast about the "U.S. Economy." But he didn't say that. He said the "Eunice Economy." Eunice. So good economic news for anybody named Eunice. Also: Hunter Biden humiliates Jim Comer and Jim Jordan, and the Republicans address the danger that Joe Biden is to America by launching a formal inquiry into impeaching him and then immediately going on vacation for the rest of the year. The show trial impeachment of Joe Biden is SO fraudulent that it has even by noticed by Chuck Todd, who has written 1,947 of the dumbest words imaginable on the topic, including the idea - as if he had dreamt it up - that the concept of impeachment has now been diluted. What Chuck did not mention but I will, is the role NBC News played on the day impeachment - and our original form of government - died. September 21, 1998, the day NBC and all the other networks prostituted themselves to the GOP and ran, unseen and unedited and without any context, Bill Clinton's Grand Jury testimony that had been illegally given to the Republican-run House Judiciary Committee and then illegally broadcast on all the networks while not one of tv's "journalists" made one complaint. It was before Chuck's time at NBC. It was NOT before mine. B-Block (27:21) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Running the gamut from Twitter-X to Tesla to putting his thumb on the finger for Republican politicians, Elon Musk wins all three medals. C-Block (34:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Any one, in any profession, can have a similar experience. But only in broadcasting does it signal the death of your youth. "Hey," your new colleague says. "I used to listen to you when I was a KID."

SEASON 2 EPISODE 10: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:43) SPECIAL COMMENT: Jack Smith didn't want Trump's TWEETS! He wanted Trump's Direct Messages and his unsent drafts! Who needs a court order to GET a copy of all of Trump's tweets and other social media posts? It feels like you need a court order to AVOID Trump's tweets and other social media posts. He was looking for - and all the statements by the judge unsealed yesterday confirms this - for the DM's Trump sent, and any sent TO him. And anything still in the draft folders because I was reminded yesterday that 20 years ago terrorists like Khalid Sheik Mohammed and The Shoe-Bomber, and ordinary criminals like David Petraeus simply bypassed the risks of texts and apps by leaving messages IN THE DRAFT FOLDER of email accounts their shared with the messages' recipients.  You could do that with Twitter! And we KNOW Trump shared that account with other people - he sometimes wrote his own tweets and sometimes dictated them.  And he could also be able to get stuff Trump deleted. What? You think when you hit the "Delete" button it vanishes from the universe? Even your drafts? I mean Twitter was willing to turn all this stuff over to the Special Counsel but it wanted to alert Trump first and the judge said no, that'll give him the chance to destroy evidence and ALERT OTHERS and originally she thought it might lead him to "flee prosecution." Hell to the Yeah! And the headline is: Smith wanted all that stuff. And he got it. Also: details leaking on The Atlanta prosecutions, Trump wastes a delay move by demanding a SCIF at Mar-a-Lago when no judge can order one to be built, and yes, a fly landed on Trump's face during his interview with NewsMax. A REAL fly - not NewsMax's Eric Bolling. B-Block (20:15) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: Trump stochastic terrorist who threatened Biden and those prosecuting Trump on Facebook is killed while the FBI serves him a warrant. And the late Robbie Robertson, not only an extraordinary musical figure but also the unchallenged winner of Twitter (23:15) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Dictator DeSantis usurps yet another elected official, Ken Starr's evil nephew orders lawyers to take religious training, and the Air Force UFO Whistleblower? Institutionalized five years ago after an episode in which it was determined he was a potential danger to himself. C-Block (29:51) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: It's Elvis Week! That means it was this week, 46 years ago, when a commercial I made for an Elvis concert in Syracuse - maybe the last one ANYBODY made - had to be pulled off our air because... well, you know. And I'll play the commercial.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit nealkatyal.substack.comI cannot tell you in words how excited I am for you to hear this episode. I've been struck by John Mulaney for years — his delivery, his unique understanding of the world, his deep empathy for the human condition. I didn't know until last year he is also a Constitutional Law nerd. I mean, seriously, he texts me all sorts of questions about random Supreme Court cases. All the time. And they are damn good questions.John's questions are really what launched me on this podcast Courtside, because it occurred to me that Constitutional Law should not be the province of a bunch of lawyers — it belongs to all of us.You are about to get treated (whether a paying subscriber or not) for what I've had the privilege of seeing with John, an absolutely first rate mind who brings joy and playfulness to everything he encounters. He picked Morrison v. Olson (1988), one of the most important cases in constitutional law. The case concerns how to prosecute Presidential or high level Executive Branch wrongdoing. When he picked it, we didn't know Donald Trump would be getting a target letter for the January 6 events at the same time, but the imminent criminal indictment of Donald Trump raises the importance of this episode even more.Morrison v. Olson was a sweeping Supreme Court decision, decided in 1988, that found the Independent Counsel Act of 1978 constitutional. This Act was responsible for the appointment of independent prosecutors such as Ken Starr, who kickstarted the sprawling and viciously partisan investigation of Monica Lewinsky, and Lawrence Walsh, who was tasked with investigating the Iran-Contra affair during the Reagan Administration. While the Court issued a 7-1 ruling in favor of the Act (with Chief Justice Rehnquist writing for the majority), the decision is widely thought to have been a mistake. Most believe that Justice Scalia's lone dissent was ultimately correct, and some even argue that it is the finest dissent he ever wrote.John is pinpoint accurate in describing Morrison, and the ways in which it matters. Paid subscribers are also going to get a bunch of bonus material from John, including the ways in which he thinks Supreme Court argumentation is similar to comedy, and its differences. It's a remarkable discussion, and I can't wait for you to hear it.We also spend some time describing the different models for prosecuting a President. Ultimately, the big problem is that the Constitution vests the prosecution power in the President. And if it's the President (or his friends or family) who are the ones accused of wrongdoing, there is an inherent conflict of interest in the investigation. Yet the Constitution doesn't provide for any alternative. This is a problem of governance that goes back millenia — to Juvenal's query Who Guards the Guardians? (Or, as Dr. Seuss put it, bee-watchers watching the bees, and bee-watcher-watchers watching the watchers.)Regardless, the American public is about to see one model, the Special Counsel regulations, come into force as Jack Smith prosecutes former President Donald Trump. Understanding Morrison v. Olson is essential to understanding the constitutional architecture of this prosecution, and what we can expect. Enjoy this remarkable discussion with John Mulaney.Paid subscribers will have access to the full interview and some bonus material, along with information and writeups about Morrison v. Olson, all on the substack website. https://nealkatyal.substack.com/. Sign up there for all the goodies.

In 1999, two colonels in the Chinese army authored a treatise titled “Unrestricted Warfar.” It told of plans to define war as to include corporate espionage, global pandemics, and trade violations. Retired U.S. Air Force General Robert Spalding writes about all that's come to pass since that doctrine, in his new book, War Without Rules: China's Playbook for Global Domination. Also, Ken Starr's many misdeeds, and in the UK it's God Save The Queue.

Ken Starr, the former federal judge and independent counsel who became famous for his investigation of President Bill Clinton, died this week on September 13 at age 76. Starr was a complex and controversial figure: after running the Whitewater and Lewinsky investigations, he went on to serve as president of Baylor University, only to resign over the mishandling of a sex abuse scandal involving the university's football team, and he would later go on to defend President Trump in Trump's first impeachment.To think through Starr's legacy, Lawfare senior editor Quinta Jurecic spoke with Lawfare editor-in-chief Benjamin Wittes, who published a book on Starr, and Lawfare contributing editor Paul Rosenzweig, who worked with Starr on the Clinton investigation. They took a look back on the Starr investigation and how the probe shaped the culture and practice of presidential investigations in ways that are more relevant than ever in the Trump era.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.

Sam and Emma host Jane McAlevey, Senior Policy Fellow at the University of California, Berkeley's Labor Center, to discuss her recent video for The Nation "You Voted To Form A Union. Now What?" Then they are joined by T.J. Kitchen, Organizing Director for the Teamsters Joint Council #43, to discuss the recent organizing efforts at a Chipotle franchise in Lansing, Michigan. Sam and Emma begin by running through updates on early Russia-Ukraine negotiations (including Putin rejecting a No-NATO pledge), WV's new abortion ban, and Starbucks' firing of organizer Jaz Brisack, also touching on Lindsey Graham launching his bill to finally lead America out of the wacko dark ages of “Bodily Autonomy.” Then Jane McAlevey joins as she, Sam, and Emma get right into contextualizing the growth of the American labor movement over the last two years (since McAlevey's last appearance on MR), exploring the mass growth in organized labor action in the wake of the heightened tensions of 2020 and the labor exploitation of the COVID-19 pandemic, and how the Biden administration's NLRB has failed (and occasionally succeeded) in capturing that rage. Following up on that discussion, Jane gets into the next iteration of challenges facing new US unions, looking at how the rise of independent unions (Starbucks Workers United, Amazon Labor Union, etc), fails to capitalize on the preexisting organizing expertise and experience found in national unions (and preferably in the NLRB) or to mobilize for demands on a larger-scale. After they get into the continuing complicity of the Democratic Party in undermining labor power in the US, also covering their response to the recent Freight Rail strike, they wrap up by assessing how the US working class became so overworked and under-compensated while rent and healthcare prices continue to skyrocket, and what we can do to close that gap. TJ Kitchen then joins to dive into the recent organizing at a Lansing Chipotle, discussing how the workers there reached out to the Teamsters Joint Council #43, how they were able to prepare the workers and strategize for the union-busting that would surely come (and did), and how this action can grow moving forwards. And in the Fun Half: Emma and Sam take a call from Penny on Organizing with UFCW-300, Owen from LA discusses European power policy as the Russian invasion of Ukraine continues, Mitch McConnell sends some warning shots Lindsey Graham's way, and Routers reveals Putin was offered a No-NATO pledge from Ukraine. Jenna from Freemont discusses fighting for the Trans community, Hannah from Kansas City discusses the “Tucker Carlson Left” and why fighting for healthcare is NOT antithetical to fighting for trans healthcare, and the crew remembers Ken Starr. Chris from Mass explores the role of the White House Press Corp, and Chris Rufo calls teenagers he's not attracted to “demonic,” plus, your calls and IMs!

Ken Starr, former Solicitor General of the United States, discusses the “egregious” and “unprecedented” leak by an unknown person within the Supreme Court last night. The former law clerk to Chief Justice Warren Burger comments that, not only is this a “profound breach of a confidential duty”, but it shows “the breakdown of institutions, break down of the basic principles that have bound us together, ties of honor”. Saying, this is “going to affect everything, this is going to be as Justice Holmes said, ‘a brooding omnipresence' of the court, a terrible shadow.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
