Rivka and Frank are joined by Sean Morrow of More Perfect Union to dive into the utterly bonkers straight-to-streaming biopic about everyone's favorite capitalist, Jeff Bezos. Sean pitches it as a contender for the "so-bad-it's-good" hall of fame alongside The Room, and the trio explores why, against all odds, this might just be an accidental anti-capitalist masterpiece. Oh, and did we mention the villain? None other than Kevin Sorbo as the CEO of Barnes & Noble. Yes, really.

Assassinating the Myths of Healthcare

Much needed attention has been brought upon the for-profit health insurance industry in the wake of the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Personal stories about people’s tragic experiences involving not only UnitedHealthcare but many other insurance companies have spelled out a deeper issue that resonates across the American political spectrum. Sean Morrow, a journalist and writer for More Perfect Union—a nonprofit newsroom that focuses on working class issues—has gained significant attention lately as a result of the shooting. Morrow joins host Robert Scheer on this episode of Scheer Intelligence to further elaborate on the issues millions of Americans are facing and why Brian Thompson’s assassination led to such a widespread public reaction. Morrow dives into some of his reporting, which has dealt with the internal processes behind the health insurance system. Among insurance companies, there is a consolidation process in the form of vertical integration. Companies like UnitedHealthcare can own multiple parts of the healthcare process and thus set up toll booths along each route people can expect to take. “They'll have pharmacy benefit manager companies, they'll have data companies, and then they kind of own this entire system, so that they're always routing you through there,” Morrow says.  “If you have a health issue, you could theoretically be giving UnitedHealthcare a little bit of money from every step of the process. And they're their own vendors in all of that,” he explains. “The system's not broken. The system's working as it's intended,” Morrow tells Scheer. The system, Morrow says, is intended “to funnel more and more money to a certain handful of people at the cost of all others.” Despite the legality of this system, the rigging of it against the interests of the working class is what enables their suffering as well as their anger against it.

Welcome to Episode #10, where I chat with Sean Morrow of One Earth Landscaping and One Earth Education and Consulting about landscaping that encourages an abundant and thriving ecosystem… basically, landscaping that connects people with plants and animals in a way I've never considered before. Sean is a deeply passionate and spiritual man, and it was an absolute privilege to learn more about him and his work.  Sean grew up in Sydney in a great family environment, where his parents took the family bush walking often. They spent two weeks of every Christmas school holidays at a farm on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales. Although he grew up in Sydney, Sean's heart and spirit was always in the bush. As a child, he kept a huge range of native animals at home (from insects, yabbies and frogs, to turtles, lizards and birds) and studied them in great detail over many years. At the age 8, he convinced his dad to put in a frog pond at home and many years later, he managed to get two more ponds into the garden! While talking to Sean, I learnt that this was live-changing. After leaving Sydney in 1993 with only a backpack, Sean started travelling and living around Australia and overseas for approximately 7-8 years. In that time he lived and travelled in Far North Queensland, Tasmania, New Zealand, Darwin, Indonesia, Western Australia, Canada, United States (including Hawaii) and later, Northern New South Wales. In 2002 he found 6.5 acres of land on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, and settled onto the land to develop the gardens with two main focuses - to grow organic food and to create habitat for native animals. In 1999 he established One Earth Landscaping, and in 2011 he additionally established One Earth Education and Consulting. Sean's passions include the creation of habitats to support native animals, the growing of organic food for home production, Permaculture, Organics and Bio-Dynamics. In the last few years, Sean's life has been more focused on education. He loves sharing his passion and knowledge with people through talks, workshops and consultations, and also opens his gardens/property to the general public 1-2 times per year. -- Thank you for watching.

In 2020, Andrew Yang ran for president, and although he never really had a serious chance, he became a familiar name, and a familiar face. In 2021, he’s running for Mayor of New York City, and this time, he might win. If he does, Yang will face an enormous challenge: navigating one of the world’s most important cities through an uncertain recovery. A man with essentially no political experience but a lot of ideas and a lot of charisma, Yang has the opportunity to reimagine how the post-pandemic city functions. But he’ll also have to contend with the day-to-day realities of governing, from policing to public schools to public housing.

Americans aren’t in agreement about much these days, but there does appear to be one thing that they overwhelmingly support: legalizing the medical and recreational use of cannabis. Across the country, cannabis is winning at the ballot box and in the statehouse, and whether you partake or not, legalization has major implications for civil rights and civil liberties, for social and racial justice, and, of course, for those who see cannabis as an enormous opportunity to make a lot of money. While federal legalization remains distant, how states legalize could play a significant role in determining the type of cannabis economy that may emerge in America. Will it be a market characterized by equity and competition--a small business success story--or a market dominated by politically influential corporate interests: Big Weed?

One of the defining characteristics of the modern nation state is that the state has a monopoly on the use of force. In the United States, police officers are a manifestation of this agreement, to which we are all parties--whether we like it or not--and that is perhaps one reason among many why the apparent lack of accountability that seemingly pervades incidents of police misconduct is so troubling: it throws into question the terms of the social contract. There’s a lot to talk about here, but when it comes to accountability, or lack thereof, there’s a story to be told about money, politics, and power, and that story is playing out in cities across the country, and is visible not only in the contracts that police unions negotiate with the cities who employ them, but in the role police unions play in local politics.

But Khamenei himself is a clever politician, a leader who has maintained the pious economic populism of the Iranian Revolution, and a tactician whose absolute authority is solidified through his relationship to institutions: namely, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard.

A billionaire among billionaires, Charles Koch is one of the most powerful men in the world. By all accounts a brilliant businessman, Charles inherited his father’s company when Lyndon B. Johnson was in the White House, and, over decades, has transformed privately held Koch Industries into a massive multinational conglomerate with annual revenues of well over a hundred billion dollars. Since the 1970s, he’s not only reinvested that money in his company, but funneled it into American politics, financing ideas, organizations, and politicians, which together present a carefully engineered attempt to dismantle the regulatory state, and perhaps government itself. And he’s been very successful: Charles Koch, more than anyone else, may epitomize the pervasive influence of money on American democracy. On the final episode of the first season of Who Is, Sean Morrow explores the biography of Charles Koch, and the history of the Koch Network, for a look at how the very, very wealthy seek to control the political process, and what the rest of us can do about it.

Vice President Mike Pence, who has described himself as “a Christian, a conservative, and a Republican, in that order,” for decades, was born a Catholic Democrat, but rose to prominence as an Evangelical conservative. Once elected to Congress, his friendly attitude toward big business attracted the attention of billionaire donors like Charles Koch. But as Governor of Indiana, Pence became infamous for how his faith informed his politics, from praying for an answer to an HIV outbreak in Scott County, to advocating for a religious freedom policy that enabled business owners to discriminate against LGBTQ+ people. Then came Donald Trump.

Arkansas is one of America’s poorest states.

But the state was once solidly democratic, and elected charismatic democratic politicians like former President Bill Clinton, for decades. In the second of three episodes exploring the contemporary Republican Party, and the future of the party after Trump, Sean Morrow digs into the forces that brought Sen.

Pod-Crashing Episode 33: Staying Independent It’s completely natural to wanna build a big bright and beautiful podcast then market the hell out of it. Wait wait. That last part is the ugly shoe in the picture. To market the podcast? You know, to push your stories and creative spirits onto every possible platform known to mankind. Not just this time but every time. To throw yourself into the center of the kingdom of hashtags and @ symbols. If you have famous people on the episode you visit their pages and those belonging to the products you brought up in the talk. Push! Make those connections with listeners and or clients for the businesses you agreed to help promote. I’m not gonna lie to ya. The hardest part about podcasting is the butt kicking received after you post an episode. Marketing your magic is mind blowing important. Living that life and style doesn’t put a dent in your day. The insurance company would label your vocal vehicle a total wreck. This is why so many podcasters refuse to market or do all they can to get hooked up with a broadcast company or internet radio station to get a solid push. I know from experience how dangerous this decision can be. As my Mom would say, “You’ve gotta watch your P’s and Q’s and please dot every I and cross every T” Never give up ownership. Stay independent. I know people who’re putting their podcast episodes on privately owned servers. Those controlling the visibility have interesting ways of saying, “We’re cheaper than anyone else. Heck let’s just give you the data space free!” Sounds great until you realize the keeper of the keys is collecting tiny chunks of cash from the hits and downloads you’ve generated. Go ahead put on the boxing gloves. We all like a good Rocky Balboa story. Sadly I’ll betcha there’s an itty pitty paragraph somewhere in that handshake that clearly states they make all or part of the money made. Not only that, but there could be another paragraph that removes you as the owner of the podcast. The very second you post it on their server it could belong to them. It’s their digital farmyard and you’ve been invited to ride the horse but not fry up the chicken eggs. Stay independent. It hurts like hell when the digital partner steps from out of nowhere with a sign that reads, “You’re mine exclusively. If you’d like to keep growing together the simple task at hand is to remove everything you have off all other platforms but this one.” Dangerous game. Each of your outlets has its own listener base and 99.9% of them aren’t forking out the email addresses attached. The second you disconnect from those human ears due to a tiny misunderstanding it’s no different than starting all over. It killed me when SoundCloud wiped me off their map. All of that time and energy spent writing, producing, posting then promoting the piss out why they were the hottest thing on the podcast planet. I didn’t even get a kiss goodbye. Then I got hit again with an internet station that I was trying to help bring listeners to by letting them tap into my reach. Blew up in my face. How the eff could this happen to me twice?Stay independent. Play nice with the privately owned server geniuses but watch your back. The bigger and better your podcast gets the more their analytics go up. Make sure you always get your numbers. Look to see them in real time. It’s too easy to cut and paste then correct a little here and a lot there.Building a partnership does have its perks. A bigger company and or appearance looks great to potential advertisers. Those spending the bucks in sponsorships know how many startup podcasts are out here. They want to build a relationship with a product that delivers sale or service to their product. When joining forces know of the expectation. It’s not always about power but rather who making sure that everyone on the team delivers? I spent some time with Sean Morrow of the Who Is podcast. We talked about his mighty team of two. Plus a crew of producers. A ton of research and travel goes into this weekly presentation. Hour long conversations edited down to storytelling soundbites that bring out the historic content. The podcast is about political figures and decision makers. Everybody in business has taken a strange road to get on top. Sean has to be exact. That means his team has to show up. The reason why I say it that way is because of the number of stories I hear from fellow podcasters that trusted their partnerships. Amazing amounts of time went into the startup but the follow through kept hitting mountains and walls. Sean Morrow knows how much time goes into each of his episodes. There are 14 presently finished but he’s releasing them one week at a time. Think about it. 14 shows equals 14 weeks. That a lot of time to keep the pump operating. I can’t imagine what it would do to the shows morale if a new episode was required every day.Because I book 7 to 10 interviews a day and post 5 and more episodes Monday through Friday having a team is a dream. I spoke of it a lot while pulling off four decades of terrestrial radio. But here’s where I’m gonna be honest. Because I’ve had so many twists, spills and stumbles with developing partnerships the awareness button is always on high alert. I don’t deal well with other people’s times on the clock or laziness. I’m a Pitbull on steroids when it comes to staying focused with this project. Too many of my radio dreams were lost because those in control made bad decisions. You should’ve heard me cheer out loud this past week when Joe Rogan was sharing a priceless podcast conversation with comedian Pete Dominick. Rogan clearly spoke with authority when he said, “Stay in control.” That doesn’t mean Joe’s doin it alone. Every so often his producer chimes in. Chelsea Handler’s as well. Both are in control. Sharing the episode making is a brilliant way to move the industry forward but if everybody’s got equal say and play that sounds like a storms on the way. I learned a very valuable lesson a couple of radio jobs back. If you’re ever put in a team work situation. You need three things to find success. A dick, a dork and a deer. So what’s the moral of the story? Watch your back. The moon is always promised but I’ve yet to see the cow jump over it. Hanging out with the idea of joining strings with others always sounds interesting by way of being perked up by something new. Think long term. I mean several hundred episodes and more. The bigger this podcasting thing gets the more you’re going to see broadcasting giants taking huge chances on those that’ve dedicated their blood sweat and tears. Agreements will be made. Hearts will be shattered. Incredible podcasts will then go silent. And all you had to do was keep control.
