Zephyr Teachout has blazed a high-profile path on state and national political stages. But lately, the 52-year-old law professor and politician has been spending her time on a tiny stage in Vermont, directing a play about the saga of Israelis and Palestinians.Teachout, who grew up in Norwich, gained national attention in 2004 when she was director of internet organizing for former Gov. Howard Dean's presidential campaign, helping to vault the small-state governor to briefly run at the front of the pack. In 2014, Teachout ran for governor of New York against the powerful incumbent Andrew Cuomo, winning one-third of the vote (Cuomo resigned in 2021 over sexual misconduct allegations). Two years later, Teachout ran for Congress. And, in 2018, she ran for attorney general of New York. She won the endorsement of the New York Times but lost to Letitia James, who later appointed Teachout as a special adviser on economic justice. Teachout is a professor of law at Fordham Law School. She is the author of "Break 'Em Up: Recovering Our Freedom From Big Ag, Big Tech, and Big Money."Far from the halls of power in Albany or the bright lights of Broadway, Teachout has maintained another passion: acting and directing at Unadilla Theater in Marshfield. When Unadilla founder Bill Blachly, who turned 100 this year, asked if she would direct the play “Returning to Haifa” this summer, Teachout quickly agreed.“The more intensely one is involved in whatever it may be professionally and certainly involved in politics, the more that I seek and need art, whether that's visual arts or music or theater as a way to be fully human, to experience both the joys and the griefs that we experience,” she said.“Returning to Haifa” links two tragedies: the Nakba (“catastrophe)” experienced by Palestinians when more than 700,000 of them fled or were driven from their homes following the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948, and the Holocaust, in which 6 million Jews died at the hands of the Nazis during World War II. Some 140,000 Holocaust survivors moved to Israel, many of them into homes abruptly abandoned by Palestinians. The play is based on a novella by Palestinian activist and writer Ghassan Kanafani, who was assassinated at the age of 36 in an operation by Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency. The story was adapted into a play by Naomi Wallace and Ismail Khalidi. It was commissioned by the Public Theater in New York in 2016, but the production was canceled due to political pressure. It finally premiered in the United Kingdom.“Returning to Haifa” depicts a Palestinian couple returning to Israel in 1967 and visiting their house and their son who they abandoned 20 years earlier in a terrified flight from Israeli forces. The play is described by the Guardian as “a poignant family drama, as a plea for Israeli-Palestinian understanding and as a warning of what will follow without some form of reconciliation.”Teachout was moved to direct the play by a current catastrophe, Israel's war in Gaza that has killed some 40,000 Palestinians, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. Israel invaded Gaza following the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas that killed more than 1,200 Israelis.“It feels very important right now to celebrate Palestinian culture, to introduce people to great writers like Kanafani" who understood "the critical role that literature plays in tying together a community of people,” Teachout said.On the political stage, Teachout offered insights about the special challenges that Vice President Kamala Harris and other women face when running for high office. “It is harder to express anger as a woman and not be dismissed,” said the former gubernatorial candidate. “Men expressing anger on behalf of an angry public don't get the same kind of scrutiny and, frankly, sometimes disdain or disgust that women expressing anger get.”“You've noticed that Harris has chosen to run as a happy warrior,” she said. “If you're in politics, you know these things are choices. It is also a choice that I made in my campaigns and that you see Elizabeth Warren making. There's a lot more comfort with joyful women than angry women … Harris, as a Black woman in particular, faces extraordinary challenges, and she's doing an extraordinary job not letting those challenges define her candidacy.”Teachout credits Harris' rise in the polls to the desire that people have “to see past the next two years, to see a collective future. What I think Harris is tapping into in the last few weeks is a sense that a future is possible. … We're not stuck with these frankly ancient politicians. And I also think that is insufficient," she said.Teachout, who has been a leading scholar and critic of corporate monopolies, said Harris needs to “take on big power.”People “think everybody's in big money's pockets. There's no point to politics (so) why don't we just cause chaos,” Teachout said. “There's kind of a real nihilism to those who either don't vote or decide to vote for Trump just out of a kind of irritation with what's going on.”Harris needs to show that she is “willing to fight, to actually make enemies … (and) take on corporate power,” Teachout said. “For Harris to beat Trump, really leaning into that populism is critical.”

Welcome to another episode of Thriving Practice. Today we're diving into the heart of dentistry, both as a profession and a passion. Our expert guest Kirk Teachout helps us understand the nuanced theme of setting boundaries and managing challenging relationships in the close-knit fabric of a dental practice. Mastering this is one of the main keys to building a 7 figure dental practice while not working more. Here are the key points we covered: The Boundary Blueprint - Our episode kicks off by examining why establishing clear boundaries is crucial in a dental practice, particularly in a tight-knit community. We discuss strategies for defining and maintaining these boundaries for the well-being of your staff, your patients, and yourself. Reputation and Relationships - Kirk touches on the intricate dance between maintaining a positive reputation and confronting difficult individuals. How does one balance the need for a good community standing with the imperative to stand up for the practice's values? Selective Patient Policy - We highlight the concept of aligning patient selection with the core values of the practice. What does this look like in practice, and how can it contribute to a healthier, more harmonious work environment? Growth Through Discomfort - Embracing discomfort is not often talked about, but it's essential for personal and professional development. We explore how facing difficult situations can lead to growth, and why it's a valuable skill to cultivate in any practice. Conclusion and Reflections - We wrap up the episode by reflecting on the overarching message: the importance of boundaries, courage, and growth in the world of dentistry. You don't need to be a dentist to gain wisdom from this episode. Learn to empower yourself by getting clear about your ideal vision, patients, practice and team.

So talk to us. What's one piece of advice you can give us this Monday morning? Kirk: Sure. Thanks for having me on Michael. So this morning, I can guarantee you we work three days a week and I can outpace any other team. My office can outpace any other team on four to five days a week.and that's due to scheduling efficiency. So something that we do very well is we look at the schedule about every quarter and see what we can do to improve, see where bottlenecks are. We ask our assistants and our hygienists and our front desk like, Hey, where are you seeing inefficiencies in the, in the schedule and.We can adjust that accordingly. Um, but it's not cookie cutter. Obviously. I can give you frameworks. Mm-Hmm. But at the end of the day, like I know I was talking to a client of mine the other day and we were looking at one of his doctors outta seven, and I was just asking him simply like, okay, how long do you do each procedure?So write down how long it takes you and ask your assistance to, 'cause like doctors are oblivious to sometimes to things and like ask like. How long does each procedure take? How long does a three surface filling take? How long does a crown prep take? How long does this take? And when you figure out how long those procedures take.You can then look at the schedule, figure out the goal you're trying to hit, and really just customize where you want throughout the schedule to run in order to actually hit those goals. I know, like I said, that client of mine, his goal was to hit, you know, 4,800 a a day after adjustments, and after just looking at a schedule and, and simply asking those questions, we were able to focus on the larger procedures.Fill in with the smaller sort of procedures, and now his goal is 6,500 to 7,000. Just by simply asking those questions, not anything else. Michael: Interesting. So what are the specific questions we should be asking the team or ourselves? Kirk: Sure. So like I said, it's, it's asking how long does each procedure take that I do.Um, and you can add that up like, okay, I know a two surface filling, like getting, getting small, right? Mm-hmm. Looking at the micro level of everything. And, um, I know something that my wife used to do was, you know, most, um, ops have timers in them for the curing and different things, or they, they count and whatnot.So. Move your uh, appointments based off of how long it takes the doctor to get that patient out of the room. So when they start, start 'em at the certain time and then adjust that appointment time to where it actually took the doctor that long. That's another way that you can calculate that. Like the assistant knows that they left at nine 40 instead of scheduling it to 10 o'clock.So you move that up to nine 40 and then you look at the schedule and like, okay, this is actually how long it took me to flow through the schedule, do all these things, check hygiene, come back and do everything else. so that way you can actually see how long these things take, if you, you know, are just kind of putting things together, as James Clear says, like we don't rise to our goals.We fall to our systems. So we're only as good as what the systems that we have. So if you know exactly how long it takes you, then you can schedule accordingly, train your front desk, and scheduling operatories, um, to know exactly how long each procedure takes. with some buffer time, of course, 'cause I know things don't always take that long, or it takes longer sometimes with a curveball, but then you can kind of get a guide together of how to schedule efficiently.That way it doesn't feel like it's super chaotic. ' cause I know that's kind of, that target market that I typically talk to is people that are three to five years out and in order to, really, increase their revenue. The only way they feel like they can do that is by doing more.Well, really they're probably not optimizing what they're already doing. They just feel like they have to do more. So it comes down to Parkinson's Law, so you fill the time that's allotted for it. So for instance, we do three days a week and we do almost double, if not more than what most dentists do on four to five days a week.Production and collections wise? Just because if it snows on Monday, I know, you know, we've been snowed out all week. Mm-Hmm. If it snows on Monday and you're there Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, you have to find a way to fit those patients in throughout the week. It's a small margin that you have to add in and you figure it out.So why don't you force yourself to figure out an efficient way to do that every single week? And so that's what we've done by doing, using these small tips and tools that I've just told you. Huh? Michael: Okay. So then have you ever seen Kirk where someone is doing that but then they kind of feel rushed? You know, nobody's rushing them.Right. But then they're like, I'm rushing. I'm rushing. And this maybe the quality may go down or What are your, what are your thoughts? Kirk: Yeah, it's definitely, um, it's definitely a feeling that you're gonna have. So that's, it's kind of two prong, or really three prong. So, uh, you know, obviously you have to, you have to figure out what you're doing as a doctor.You have to relay that to the scheduler up in the front, but then you also have to train your clinical team. So a lot of people feel rushed, honestly, because they're doing things that doesn't require their license. So another tip is to sit down for a a day and write down everything that you do, whether it be numbing a patient, whether it be doing a filling, whether it be scanning a patient, if you're in a digital office, writing a note, all the things that you do.On that list throughout the day, figure out what does not require your license to do it. So as a doctor, you're the producer, you're the biggest producer. You have to be able to do the things that make the most income and most revenue and generate that. And most of the time docs are doing things 'cause they don't like to let go.Of their control. Mm-Hmm. But really they need to be able to, to humble themselves, get rid of the things that are not required by their license and delegate and train somebody else to do those things like scanning a patient if they're legally allowed to or doing a note and then you check the note or doing different things.If you allow your clinical team to do what their job is, then that frees you up to not feel rushed, because now you can only do the things that you're allowed to do with your license. Michael: Ah, that's good advice right there to really look back. So then if we're looking back. Let's just say like we have a small team and we're like, okay man, Kirk, there's stuff I have to do because like, you know what I mean?Maybe, or I don't even know if you would say you have to do it, but there's stuff that I want to do. Right. Kind of. Right. Like the note taking maybe, right? Yeah. You're checking the schedule or calling post ops. Right. I feel like it's so dynamic that it can change. Yes. you review that every, what, three months?Kirk: About once a quarter. I mean, we do, we have a meeting cadence every month where we, we meet with the team, we on a Thursday afternoon. 'cause we don't, you know, they work three and a half days. We only work three. and so on a Thursday afternoon we bring in lunch for everybody and we go through what went well over the last month, what didn't go well, what can we adjust based off of what they're seeing.And so that way. We catch things on the front end versus when they become a real issue. a lot of times. Uh, but yeah, we, we evaluate team members, kind of what they're doing about once a quarter, but then we go through what I call issue processing about once a month to try to figure out what's going wrong, where are the bottlenecks and where can we improve?So constant learning. Michael: Gotcha, gotcha. What typically, from your experience, doesn't go well? Like what becomes the real issues? Kirk: it's all over the board. I feel like I, I mean, like I said, a lot of the stuff is just delegation. A lot of people don't like giving up that control. And I get it. I'm, I'm a control freak too.I don't like doing it. But at some point, in order to not be a slave to your business, you have to allow people to do other things. And if they're not good enough, train them after training. If they're still not good enough, you gotta find a different team member. you know, we evaluate when I come in. I evaluate the team members.I allow the doctor to evaluate, ask me the reason why on a scale of one to 10, there are six outta 10. And then we look at that. I'm like, look, if there's six, like they're never gonna be a nine. they never will be. That's them. And that's okay. There's a place for them somewhere, but it may not be here.So if you want to have an extraordinary practice, you're gonna have to find really great team members. And a lot of people I know are gonna be like, oh, but I'm in a bad area. Finding team members is hard. It's super competitive. I can't pay him. That's great. I'm in a rural area where there is almost no resume that comes in when I make a post, I get it, but I've still been able to find really great team members that I can train because I hire for personality and I can train skill.That's not an issue. I. If they're a nine outta 10 or a seven or above on personality wise that fits with our culture. I can train all day. That's not an issue, hiring for personality more so than skill skill's, A plus. Michael: Gotcha. Okay. So would you say it's more when you go back in into an office and you're saying like, Hey, there's an issue.Then you kind of go the next quarter, same issue, you say, it's more like a team. Okay. Somebody's dropping the ball here. Susan, it's you or Billy, it's you kind of like that or kind Kirk: of or. As Jocko Willink says, in extreme ownership, and I say this all the time, there are no bad teams, just bad leaders.So part of what I do too is developing leadership skills in these doctors. Um, I know associates reach out to me all the time like, what are, what is something I need to work on while I'm in clinic? I'm like, you need to develop your leadership skills, number one, because when, and, and try it on your peers too.Like you can, you can work in clinic and lead your peers to do that. Then when you get to a team setting. Like in an office, when you own the practice, even if you're an associate, you can develop those leadership skills and really grow. So that way when people come to you for things, you can train them and they respect you enough to actually want to do it instead of you dictating that they do it.Mm-Hmm. Michael: I like that, man. So it's kind of like developing these leadership skills or being a leader. For your schedule. That way, like the schedule doesn't lead you. You know what I mean? Yeah. You're just following, oh, there's another no-show. Right, right. Speaking when it comes to that, like you're making the whole schedule and then there's like, oh my gosh, this root canal took way longer than expected.Sure. And the patient didn't numb as much, and the buffer, or like even a no-show. How do we determine that? Like as far as, so the schedule doesn't fall apart. We don't, are super rushed now Kirk: and stuff like that. So, I mean, obviously things like that are gonna happen. There are days even on our schedule that feels chaotic.it's far and few between the more that we've done it, but the way that we really be able to fill the schedule with no shows is through emergency appointments. So, like we have strategic emergency appointments throughout the day that way, and, and we always tell 'em, look, you're not gonna get work done today.we frame it that way, like, you're not gonna get work done today. We're going to, take a pa, do a limited exam, see what's going on, and get you out of discomfort. And then if we have time, we'll do it, but most likely you won't get anything done today. but the great thing is that if there is a no-show or a cancellation, then we can actually do that work and then they're happy.Our schedule's happy because we're hitting that goal still, and it kind of goes from there. And it's about asking certain questions, getting as much information about that emergency patient to know where to put them, because if I know that half the tooth is cracked or it's broken, or a filling fell out or whatever, I kind of know what that's gonna be on the back end, so I can schedule accordingly if that crown falls off.That emergency patient scheduled at the same time, I just pop 'em over, do the crown and it's done. And that, that appointment was, wasn't a loss. But another way to fill in that schedule with, you know, not, um, having no shows is by charging a deposit. So we have most of our work make a deposit before they leave to schedule that appointment.They do a $50 deposit that goes towards their treatment. Now after we've trained our patients now, they're like, yeah, I get it. Like I understand. And that way, if they don't show up or give us a forty-eight hour notice with our business days, then we have that $50 No-show fee already. I.We don't have to worry about chasing it now. and they just have to make another deposit in order to schedule. once you educate the patients on that, then it's really not a big deal. They come to expect it. You're gonna get some pushback and that's okay. But most likely those people who are pushing back weren't gonna show up anyway.Hmm. So really you're quietly dismissing your patients through your policies instead of having to tell them, Hey look, it's just not gonna work out here. Michael: Yeah. Awesome. Okay. All righty, Kirk, thank you so much for your advice, where can people find you or reach out to you? Kirk: Sure. The best way on Instagram at Kirk Teachout, I'm on there all the time.I'm always on there. Um, you can also, if you wanna free guide of how we do three days, you can go to TheSevenFigureDentist.com, you spell out seven, don't put the number and they can download that free guide for me. Schedule a call with me there. That's fine. I do a free business audit, so any of that would be fine.Awesome. Michael: So that's gonna be in the show notes below. And Kirk, thank you so much for being with me on this Monday morning episode. Yeah, of Kirk: course. Thanks Michael.

The economy as we know it is populated by gigantic corporations, behemoths that have bought up not only their competition but also the businesses supplying or otherwise supporting them. Such monopolies act as a “rival form of government,” explains Zephyr Teachout, the author of Break 'Em Up: Recovering Our Freedom From Big Ag, Big Tech, and Big Money. On Episode 12 of The Politics of Everything, hosts Laura Marsh and Alex Pareene talk with Teachout about the dangers of allowing these outsize companies to grow unchecked, and what should be done about them.

Offen queer zu sein, ist auch heute noch in vielen Kontexten mit Hindernissen verbunden. Nach #actOUT und #kickOUT setzt sich die Kampagne #teachOUT dafür ein, dass Queerness auch im schulischen Kontext sichtbarer wird. Aber wie divers ist der Bildungssektor eigentlich? Und wie kann Schule zu einem Safespace für queere Schüler:innen und Lehrer:innen werden? Diese Fragen diskutiert Clara Ebert in dieser Folge der Fußnoten mit Philipp Aigner von derKampagne #teachOUT. Außerdem spricht sie mit Leonie Lange vom Queer-Referat der Studierendenvertretung an der LMU darüber, warum offen queere Dozierende wichtige Vorbilder für Studierende sein können.
Wieso ist #teachout so wichtig? Wozu brauchen wir Vorbilder? Wieso ist die Situation zum Beispiel im Bestattungswesen anders als in der Schule?
„Welche Rolle soll und darf mein schwul Sein in meiner Funktion als Lehrperson spielen?“ Diese Frage stellt sich Andreas, Deutsch- und Englischlehrer an einer Freiburger Schule, häufig. Er selbst hat in seiner Schulzeit Homofeindlichkeit und Mobbing erlebt, was bei ihm Narben hinterlassen hat. Heute weiß er, als Lehrer möchte er ganz authentisch vor seinen Schüler*innen stehen können und er möchte die Schule zu einem Ort machen, an dem man „frei und offen über seine Interessen, Sorgen und sogar seine Art, zu lieben sprechen kann, ohne diskriminiert zu werden“. Die Tatsache, dass er gezweifelt hat, ob er im Rahmen des Projekts sichtbar sein möchte, hat ihn im Nachhinein bestärkt, diesen Schritt zu tun, denn... „...heterosexuelle Lehrkräfte outen sich ständig, wenn sie davon erzählen, was sie mit ihren Partner*innen machen, wo die Kinder zur Schule gehen oder mit wem sie irgendwelche Abenteuer am Wochenende erlebt haben. Ich komme da immer ein bisschen ins Schwitzen und muss mir überlegen: 'wie viel kann ich da jetzt sagen, was wäre vielleicht auch eine Art Überwältigung der Schüler*innen und wo mache ich mich unauthentisch, indem ich etwas wegdrücke?' In so einem Zwiespalt befinde ich mich ständig und das ist ein Diskurs, den ich die ganze Zeit im Kopf habe.“
Nach der letzten Zwangspause geht es wie gewohnt heiter weiter. Chrissy, eine Kosmetikerin aus Hannover, ist erneut bei mir zu Gast um über die Probleme zu sprechen, die der körpernahe Berufszweig unter den Maßnahmen zur Pandemieeinschränkung hat. Außerdem hat die wundervolle Aktion #actout ein klasse Zeichen für mehr Visibilität queerer Menschen im Schauspielbereich gesetzt. Das die Aktion bereits Früchte tragt und mit #teachout eine genauso klasse Aktion inspiriert hat, könnt ihr hier hören. Dabei auch wie immer die News, der Kulturtipp und die verschollenen Minuten aus der letzten, gecancelten Episode. Seid LAUT! - Seid PROUD!
Zephyr Teachout is a renowned US law professor, activist, author, and columnist with an expertise in anti-corruption, but we couldn't help but begin our conversation during this podcast to respond to the shocking events in Washington DC on the 6th of January 2021, when a mob of violent rioters forced their way into Congress. With four people dead, three bombs found, the nation may never be the same. So what happens next? What will the consequences be? "There seems to be a desire to just rush ahead two weeks and to sort of treat this as if we can just sweep it under the rug," Teachout says, but this would be a major mistake. "Trump, Hawley, and Cruz didn't necessarily expect to win, but were playing to social media and really achieved a lot of what they desired because there was no real plan of maintaining control, but there was a plan of really inciting a deep distrust of the peaceful transfer of power. I think of this as a very significant assault on constitutional democracy." Teachout continues: "Even with just two weeks left, it is important that there be immediate consequences. And I wish that the House was moving forward with Articles of Impeachment, and then separately the House and Senate looking at removal of members who were actively undermining the peaceful transfer of power.". Amsterdam and Teachout also discuss her brilliant new book, "Break 'Em Up: Recovering Our Freedom from Big Ag, Big Tech, and Big Money," which presents an impassioned critique of the various corporate monopolies which have taken over American life and distorted our economy and politics. "The essence of the book is to say that we are facing a democratic threat," she says. "They are threatening our media infrastructure, our legal infrastructure, and our political infrastructure by taking over political parties - and then also directly governing." The situation is not hopeless, however. Teachout argues that there are many tools available at our disposal to recover our freedom and protect democracy from corporate influence - and that begins with antitrust and anticorruption laws that address the power structures instead of just individual criminal liability.
For this Just Conversation, Dean Kelly Brown Douglas speaks with Zephyr Teachout. Zephyr Teachout is an author, former political candidate, and associate professor of law at Fordham University. This fall, Teachout enrolled at Union int he Master of Divinity program. In this Just Conversation, they discuss the state of our democracy and some of the constitutional challenges that lie ahead. They also look at voting rights and voter suppression in the 2020 Election, and the potential outcomes to the Trump administration's ongoing litigation efforts.
Monopolies are Anti-Democratic A monopoly is a company that has the power to set the terms of interactions, from the pricing of consumer goods to interactions with suppliers and resolving disputes. The most insidious and anti-democratic example is private arbitration, a judicial system where the parties to the suit pay the judges. Large companies force employees and even customers to litigate all grievances through arbitration courts, making a mockery of justice and infringing upon our civil rights. In essence, monopolies exert a form of private governing power and control over citizens within our democracy. US History of Trust-Busting America has a long history of trust-busting, dating back to the late 19th century. At that time, thousands of antitrust leagues around the country verified that companies were not controlling large market shares. Anti-monopolism was once a vital facet of American political activism, and it could be again. US antitrust law still exists; it just isn't being enforced—and hasn't been since Reagan's administration. The Biden-Harris administration could start enforcing existing laws, which would create a sea-change in the antitrust landscape. We have the tools to break up monopolies, but we lack the political and organizational will-power. Chickenization Chickenization refers to the ways large poultry distributors subjugate independent chicken farmers who depend on them to bring their chickens to market. These regional monopolies exercise immense control over these farmers by forcing them to use their feed, abide by their coup house specifications, and accept the equivalent of poverty wages. They also require arbitration contracts, ban communication between farmers, and retaliate against farmers who break the rules. Other sectors of the economy are following suit: delivery apps control restaurants and ride-share apps control taxi drivers.

This episode of the podcast features audio engineer/media specialist Kirk Teachout.
Over the past couple of decades, corporations have increased their control of nearly aspect of American life. Big technology platform monopolists like Facebook and Google, and life science companies like Bayer have a greater concentration of wealth and power than we've seen in the United States since the Gilded Age. Critics say that massive, multinational companies are evolving into political entities that often have more influence than actual governments, bending state and federal legislatures to their wills and even creating courts that circumvent the U.S. justice system. The big question for many, of course, is: How can we recover our freedom from these giant companies? Anti-corruption scholar and activist Zephyr Teachout has one answer: Break up the monopolies that are increasingly in control of American democratic institutions and public life. In her new book, Break 'Em Up: Recovering Our Freedom from Big Ag, Big Tech, and Big Money, Teachout argues that monopolies are the root cause of many of the issues (economic inequality, the environment, partisanship) that today's progressives care most about, and that anti-trust efforts are critical tools to protecting society. In order to build a better future, Teachout believes we must organize and eliminate monopolies from the private sector and create new safeguards that prevent new ones from seizing power. The moderator for this program, noted Columbia Law School professor Tim Wu, discussed some of these issues in a program at The Commonwealth Club last year.

On January 20th, The Guardian published an op-ed by New York attorney and law professor Zephyr Teachout entitled “‘Middle Class’ Joe Biden has a corruption problem – it makes him a weak candidate”. In it, Teachout argues that Biden’s history of taking big donations from the credit card, healthcare, and fossil fuel industries and then voting on their behalf makes him a poor choice against Trump in the Fall: “a lot of the voters we need,” wrote Teachout, “independents and people who might stay home – will look at Biden and Trump and say: “They’re all dirty.”” Teachout is a public supporter of Bernie Sanders and when the Biden camp took umbrage at the piece, Sanders publicly apologized for it. “It is absolutely not my view that Joe is corrupt in any way,” said the Vermont Senator. “And I'm sorry that that op-ed appeared.” But was that really the right reply from a candidate who has made the fight against big money in politics one of the cornerstones of his campaign? Zephyr Teachout joins Mehdi Hasan to discuss Joe Biden and the culture of corruption in Washington.

Titus & Terry Teachout discuss Pitfall, the fine 1948 noir starring Dick Powell, Lizabeth Scott, Jane Wyatt, & Raymond Burr as the heavy! It's a story about post-war America, men dissatisfied with suburban happiness, & the dangers middle-class life is facing. You get the insurance business & people whose lives are tied up with fraud. You get two attitudes to danger, risk, & getting what you want.
Titus & Terry Teachout turn to Out Of The Past, Bob Mitchum's best noir, his defining role as a chump, & a great variation on the femme fatale & the corrupted noble man. This is a rare story for juxtaposing the morality of the small town & the corruption of the city, the erotic lawlessness South of the border with the disheartening unhappiness of American life, & then showing how erotic tragedy grows out of this opposition between innocence & experience. The corruption of glamour is the them, & it's all-American.

After a wild state primary night in New York, NY1’s Grace Rauh, Zack Fink and Juan Manuel Benitez discuss Andrew Cuomo’s win over Cynthia Nixon, Letitia James’ big victory in the campaign for attorney general and the many upsets in the state Senate.
Before you cast your vote on Thursday, NY1's Grace Rauh, Zack Fink and Juan Manuel Benitez bring you up to date on the races up and down the ballot. They discuss the primary fight between Andrew Cuomo and Cynthia Nixon, the tossup race for state attorney general and the sudden spotlight on the state Senate. The crew also taste tests the breakfast that's stirred up so much Twitter heat: Cynthia Nixon's cinnamon raisin bagel with lox, cream cheese and capers.
From the highly-anticipated showdown between Andrew Cuomo and Cynthia Nixon, to the fiery clash between the four candidates for state attorney general, NY1's Juan Manuel Benitez, Courtney Gross and Bob Hardt analyze a week filled with primary debates.
Zephyr Teachout is a law professor at Fordham University and one of the nation’s foremost experts on political corruption. She’s also, after a glowing New York Times endorsement this week, arguably the frontrunner in the race to replace Eric Schneiderman as New York’s attorney general. The Democratic primary, which will likely decide the race, is on September 13. The NY AG position is unusually important right now. President Trump’s businesses are in New York, his family works in New York, his associates worked in New York. When special counsel Robert Mueller referred Michael Cohen for prosecution, it was to New York prosecutors. And for all the talk of Trump’s pardon power, he can pardon against federal prosecution, not state prosecution. All that means that the New York attorney general is uniquely situated to investigate, and prosecute, the corruption swirling around Trumpworld. I had Teachout on this podcast in June 2017. We talked about how political corruption was defined by the Founding Fathers, and why, during the Constitutional Convention, they discussed the threat posed by corruption more than they discussed the threat posed by foreign invasion. And we talked about the way today’s Supreme Court — in the Citizens United and related decisions — has narrowed the definition to be almost meaningless. We also discussed an emoluments lawsuit Teachout was involved in against Trump, as well as the power of corporate monopolies in American life. It was a great conversation then, and it’s all the more relevant now. Enjoy! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Democratic primary for attorney general is a crowded one. New York City Public Advocate Tish James was overwhelmingly chosen as the party's nominee in May but three others are vying for the job, including Zephyr Teachout. If her name sounds familiar it's because she challenged Andrew Cuomo in 2014 in the Democratic primary for governor. Learn more: nynow.org

Zephyr Teachout is a law professor at Fordham University, the author of Corruption in America, one of the lead lawyers in the emoluments case that’s been brought against Donald Trump, and a former gubernatorial and congressional candidate. Which is all to say that Teachout is someone who knows a lot about political corruption, and so we dive deep into that topic in this podcast.We talk about how political corruption was defined by the Founding Fathers, and why, during the Constitutional Convention, they discussed the threat posed by corruption more than they discussed the threat posed by foreign invasion. And we talk about the way today’s Supreme Court — in the Citizens United and related decisions — has narrowed the definition to be almost meaningless. Teachout is also one of the lead lawyers in the case being brought against Trump on his foreign profits and gifts — “emoluments” that, arguably, are unconstitutional. We go through that lawsuit — and its prospects and potential remedies — in some detail.We also dig into the role monopolies and related concentrations of industry power are playing in American life — this is an increasingly influential argument on today’s left, and Teachout does a nice job here explaining why.Finally, we talk a lot about an issue that I think today’s politicians wildly underestimate in importance: not corruption itself, but the appearance of corruption, and the way it’s rotting the public’s faith in the political system. How do you solve that? What are the possible unintended consequences of the solutions that get proposed?As they say, all that and more!Books:Middlemarch by George Eliot The Gilded Age by Mark TwainAll the King’s Men by Robert Penn Warren Learn more about your ad choices.

Millions of people in the developing world encounter corruption every day, in the form of bribes they have to pay to go about their daily lives. But there's an insidious form of corruption that permeates entire structures, including governments, which is often hidden in apparently legitimate activity. Carnegie Senior Fellow Sarah Chayes has been researching this form of corruption for the better part of a decade. She argues that in corrupt countries, kleptocratic networks involve not only government officials, but private industries and established criminal networks. In her recent report, When Corruption is the Operating System: The Case of Honduras, Sarah examines how the kleptocratic system functions in a case study on that country. Sarah joins Tom and Zephyr Teachout, author of Corruption in America: From Benjamin Franklin's Snuff Box to Citizens United, and a democratic candidate in the New York gubernatorial race, for a discussion on corruption and power. Sarah Chayes is internationally recognized for her innovative thinking on corruption and its implications. Her work explores how severe corruption can help prompt such crises as terrorism, revolutions and their violent aftermaths, and environmental degradation.

This week on The Breach, we take a closer look at those 49 words that mean so much: the Foreign Emoluments Clause of the United States Constitution. Law professor Zephyr Teachout joins host Lindsay Beyerstein for an in-depth discussion of one of our founding document's most critical anti-corruption clauses. Teachout and her legal colleagues at Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) have launched a groundbreaking lawsuit against Trump to stop him from taking cash from foreign governments through his empire of hotels and rental properties. The Emoluments Clause has never been tested in court. A loss for Trump will make legal history and could set the stage for divestment, resignation, or even impeachment.
Today's episode is part two of our two-part series on whether the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution applies to incoming President Donald Trump. We begin, however, with a listener question from Erik Alsman who asks whether the Supreme Court has the power to declare an amendment to the Constitution unconstitutional. Along the way we'll learn a little bit about the history of judicial review in the United States. In our main segment, we conclude our interview with Lecturer Seth Barrett Tillman of the Maynooth University Department of Law, exploring Tillman's thesis that the Emoluments Clause does not apply to President Trump because the Presidency is not an "office... under the United States" for purposes of Constitutional analysis. Afterwards, Thomas and Andrew break down the argument and offer their views on the issue. Next, we air some listener comments and questions regarding the difference between a "barrister" and a "solicitor" in UK law. Finally, we end with a brand new Thomas Takes the Bar Exam question #7 about the admissibility of a hearsay statement during a civil trial. Remember that TTTBE issues a new question every Friday, followed by the answer on next Tuesday's show. Don't forget to play along by following our Twitter feed (@Openargs) and/or our Facebook Page and quoting the Tweet or Facebook Post that announces this episode along with your guess and reason(s)! Show Notes & Links This is the text of Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 137 (1803), in which the Supreme Court articulated -- some say, invented! -- the doctrine of judicial review. Prof. Tillman can be found on Twitter at @SethBTillman, and here is his professional page. In November of 2016, Prof. Tillman wrote a brief piece for the New York Times summarizing his thesis about the Emoluments Clause. This 2009 Memorandum from the President's Office of Legal Counsel assumes -- without argument or citation -- that the Emoluments Clause applies to the President. In December of 2016, Norm Eisen, Richard Painter, and Laurence Tribe wrote a paper for the Brookings Institution arguing that the Emoluments Clause does apply to the President. Zephyr Teachout's law review article, The Anti-Corruption Principle sets forth her argument that the Constitution, including the Emoluments Clause, enshrines a fundamental principle to protect against corruption of our highest offices, including the Presidency.

Today's episode is part one of a two-part series on whether the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution applies to incoming President Donald Trump. We begin, however, by addressing another Trump-related question: Does a recent report claiming that 50+ Trump electors are ineligible provide the relief of preventing Trump from assuming the Presidency? We delve into the report and answer the question in a way that may surprise you. Our main interview segment is with Lecturer Seth Barrett Tillman of the Maynooth University Department of Law. Tillman's thesis is that the Emoluments Clause does not apply to President Trump because the Presidency is not an "office... under the United States" for purposes of Constitutional analysis. Next, we answer a listener question from William Stemmler about officeholders in the line of Presidential Succession who are themselves ineligible to become President. Could Donald Trump nominate George W. Bush to be Secretary of State? Find out! Finally, we end with the answer to Thomas Takes the Bar Exam question #6 about pre-nuptial agreements.

Click Here Or On Above Image To Reach Our ExpertsDPL Surveillance Equipment Supplies Hi-Tech Tools To GhostbustersDPL Surveillance Equipment sales and rents equipment such as thermal imaging cameras, wireless audio recording systems and electromagnetic field detectors to this fast-growing industry.Lots of things can thwart a home sale—ugly décor, a bad location or an unrealistic price. But some homeowners and real-estate agents cite another reason: ghosts.For help, there's a cottage industry of people who advertise themselves as psychics, ghostbusters and paranormal investigators. Some charge hundreds of dollars to visit “haunted” properties—either in person, or via astral travel—and “clear” them of unwanted spirits. Other wanna-be ghostbusters will comb homes with cheap low-tech gear to suss out paranormal activity.Plumbing, electrical, psychological or medication problems are the most common culprits, said Mr. Hawes, 44, a plumber in Warwick, R.I., who is the founder the Atlantic Paranormal Society, or TAPS.Jane Phillips, a paranormal investigator and self-described clearer in Santa Fe, N.M., markets her services to real-estate agents because “it's easier to get them to pay for something if it gets their houses sold.” Ms. Phillips, 65, was a mortgage banker for 30 years in Minneapolis, before moving to New Mexico in 2008, she said. Since then she has worked on hundreds of homes, mostly locally, charging about $350 to $400.Jobs require her to remove “energetic things,” that can include ghosts but can also be portals—energetic holes connected to planets—as well as what she calls dark energies, which are “energies from other dimensions,” she said. The work mostly occurs “in my imagination—but my imagination is real,” said Ms. Phillips.PRO-DTECH II FREQUENCY DETECTOR(Buy/Rent/Layaway)Suzanne Taylor, the broker/owner of Taylor Properties in Santa Fe, hired Ms. Phillips for six of her home listings, paying between $500 and $750 for services. She recently brought her in on a house listed for about $300,000 in Santa Fe. Ms. Phillips came into the house carrying “dowsing rods,” crooked rods that are traditionally used as divination tools for finding buried treasure or water.“She holds them and walks around the house and the rods move on their own,” said Ms. Taylor. At the end of the process, Ms. Phillips said she created a “white blanket of light” in her mind to “lift out any stray energies.”Shortly thereafter, “I got an offer and closed it,” Ms. Taylor said.CELLPHONE DETECTOR (PROFESSIONAL)(Buy/Rent/Layaway)Nicole Sassaman, a designer and home-décor retailer in Los Angeles, has seen her share of weird things in 20 years of flipping houses. But nothing prepared her for the strange occurrences at the fixer-upper she was renovating years ago in the Hollywood Hills neighborhood.PRO-DTECH III FREQUENCY DETECTOR(Buy/Rent/Layaway)“Doors would swing open. A box of plumbing supplies would move from one corner to the other when we weren't looking. The floors warped for no reason. The house got broken into,” said Ms. Sassaman, 45.PRO-DTECH III FREQUENCY DETECTOR(Buy/Rent/Layaway)About six months into the renovation, a neighbor dropped a bombshell: The former owner had died in the bathroom, Ms. Sassaman said. She paid a clearer $500 to rid the home of “spirits and negative energy.” The process, involving crystals, bells and murmured prayers, was weird but effective, Ms. Sassaman said. The problems stopped and the property sold quickly for its asking price of $995,000, nearly twice what she'd paid for it.Not everyone in the ghostbusting business automatically assumes that low-pitched hum coming from the basement is a ghost.“Eighty percent of the time, it isn't something paranormal at all,” said Jason Hawes, the star of “Ghost Hunters,” a reality show on the Syfy channel that started in 2004 and is currently in its last season.PRO-DTECH III FREQUENCY DETECTOR(Buy/Rent/Layaway)Joe Nickell, senior research fellow at the Center for Inquiry, an Amherst, N.Y.-based think tank focused on science and secularism, has investigated hundreds of claims of paranormal activity over the past 40 years.“I have never found evidence of an actual haunting,” said Mr. Nickell, 71. “Ghosts must be believed to be seen.”Laws addressing seller disclosures of “psychologically impacting factors” in properties vary widely from state to state, said Val Werness of LegalResearch.com in Minneapolis, which issued a report on disclosures for the National Association of Realtors last year. Only two states, Minnesota and Massachusetts, have laws that even mention reports of paranormal activity, and only to say they need not be disclosed, said Ms. Werness.WIRELESS/WIRED HIDDENCAMERA FINDER III(Buy/Rent/Layaway)Three other states, California, South Dakota and Alaska, have laws that require some form of disclosure of deaths on a property, even if the buyer doesn't ask about it. (Ms. Sassaman, who sold her house 15 years ago, said her agent told her disclosure wasn't required in the particular case of her house.)PRO-DTECH IV FREQUENCY DETECTOR(Buy/Rent/Layaway)Some people are content to live amid the spirits. In New Orleans, Keith Teachout, who owns an 1830s Greek Revival bed-and-breakfast in the French Quarter, said he spied a ghost in June.Mr. Teachout said he was carrying a load of laundry up to his private suite of rooms when he saw a man with a slim build, in his late 50s or early 60s, perched on a settee in the living room. The man looked as real as anyone on the street, Mr. Teachout said, except that he was dressed in a 1940s-style overcoat and fedora. After a few moments, the man disappeared.“I assumed he was a ghost,” said Mr. Teachout, 55.Wireless Camera Finder(Buy/Rent/Layaway)About a week later, by coincidence, a police officer stopped by the home and explained that his great-aunt had lived there in her youth. Mr. Teachout said he invited the aunt, now 99 years old, to lunch and learned that her husband had died of a heart attack, wearing his overcoat and fedora, in the very room where Mr. Teachout had spied the ghost.MAGNETIC, ELECTRIC, RADIO ANDMICROWAVE DETECTOR(Buy/Rent/Layaway)Mr. Teachout had met Cari Roy, a well-known psychic medium in New Orleans, at a party, so he called her up and asked her to come and see if she perceived the ghost. Ms. Roy said she has worked on ghost issues in over a hundred houses, hotels, restaurants and bars. For site visits, she typically charges $200 an hour, though she didn't charge Mr. Teachout, he said.Ms. Roy said she sensed the ghost and his reason for hovering: He wanted to protect his widow, she said. Ms. Roy and Mr. Teachout decided not to try to interfere. Ms. Roy considers ghosts part of New Orleans history, she said.COUNTERSURVEILLANCE PROBE / MONITOR(Buy/Rent/Layaway)“Who am I to throw out a ghost who has been here for hundreds of years?” she said.For those reluctant to hire a professional ghostbuster, there is a do-it-yourself solution. Last year, Yvonne Arias, owner of Los Angeles brokerage Property Lab, accompanied a client to a walk-through a few days before closing on a $600,000 house. The house was in poor condition—“there was a bad smell, all the windows were caulked shut,” said Ms. Arias. But even that didn't account for the “creepy, bad energy” both she and the seller perceived, Ms. Arias said.PRO-DTECH FREQUENCY DETECTOR(Buy/Rent/Layaway)The buyer handed Ms. Arias a bundle of sage, which they lighted on fire and toted from room to room. Burning sage to dispel spirits is traditional in several cultures, including some American Indian tribes. A few days later, the property closed as planned, Ms. Arias said.RF SIGNAL DETECTOR ( FREQUENCY COUNTER)(Buy/Rent/Layaway)Your questions and comments are greatly appreciated.Monty Henry, Owner (function () { var articleId = fyre.conv.load.makeArticleId(null); fyre.conv.load({}, [{ el: 'livefyre-comments', network: "livefyre.com", siteId: "345939", articleId: articleId, signed: false, collectionMeta: { articleId: articleId, url: fyre.conv.load.makeCollectionUrl(), } }], function() {}); }()); Additional Resources: * Prevention and Detection of Electronic Harassment and Surveillance* Electrical Hyper-Sensitivity: The-Truth!!* How Do I Know If I've Been Bugged? * Targeted Individuals* Operating The Brain By Remote Control* What is BitCoin and How Does It Work?* The Creature From Jekyll Island: This Blog And Video Playlist Explains Why The U.S. Financial System is Corrupt and How It Came To Be That Way* Number of Americans Renouncing Citizenship Surges To Escape Oppressive Tax Rules* Dropping Off The Grid: A Growing Movement In America: Part I* Online Privacy Tools and Tips www.DPL-Surveillance-Equipment.com (function() { var po = document.createElement('script'); po.type = 'text/javascript'; po.async = true; po.src = 'https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js'; var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(po, s); })();
Corporations are the dominant actors in Washington. Of the 100 organizations that spend the most on lobbying, 95 represent business, and the largest companies now have upwards of 100 lobbyists representing them.
