In the immediate aftermath of the mammoth fires in Los Angeles, Ralph welcomes Douglas Heller, Director of Insurance at Consumer Federation of America to fill us in on what to expect from the industry and how to get the most out of your fire insurance claims. Then, our resident constitutional scholar, Bruce Fein, returns to present a list of constitutional crises to expect upon the second coming of Donald Trump.Douglas Heller is a nationally-recognized insurance expert and Director of Insurance at Consumer Federation of America. In addition to conducting research for and providing expertise to consumer rights organizations, Mr. Heller is a member of the U.S. Department of Treasury's Federal Advisory Committee on Insurance, an appointee of California's Insurance Commissioner, serving as a board member of the California Automobile Assigned Risk Plan, and he serves on the Executive Board of the Coalition Against Insurance Fraud.A key thing for everybody to know is that the premiums that we have paid over the last several years here in California—and this really goes across the country, but in California in particular—have put the insurance industry in a perfectly healthy position to deal with the claims, as dramatic and as severe as these fires are and the amount of damage that they caused…For the insurance companies to cry poverty in the wake of the buildup of capital over the last several years would be outrageous, and so we're going to be watching for that.Douglas HellerThe story around the country was that California was already a terrible hellscape for the insurance companies to do business in. When in fact, they were doing far better than the rest of the country. One of the big trade journals that reports on the industry has said that State Farm has been kept afloat by its performance in California over the last couple of years. And it was more a kind of a climate opportunism—after ignoring the potential (and then, growing) impact of climate change on property risk for years and decades, the insurance companies finally had this kind of revelation that oh they can talk about climate change as a new risk and a justification for demanding whatever they want.Douglas HellerBattle lines seem to be drawn—at least in my opinion—between the “Drill baby, drill. All we need to do is rake the leaves” camp versus “Hey, this is another wake up call to the climate crisis.” Because this was a severe weather event. And there were four major fires at once, and no fire department, whose main daily job is medical emergencies, is equipped to deal with that. Especially since the first two days the winds were so high—hurricane force winds—they couldn't get helicopters and airplanes into the air to make the drops in these canyons. And I don't think there's any amount of brush clearing that would have stopped these winds from whipping up these embers to send them into these residential districts.Steve SkrovanBruce Fein is a Constitutional scholar and an expert on international law. Mr. Fein was Associate Deputy Attorney General under Ronald Reagan and he is the author of Constitutional Peril: The Life and Death Struggle for Our Constitution and Democracy, and American Empire: Before the Fall.The Trump regime has a high probability of being the most lawless dictatorial regime in American history. All presidents violate laws, but Trump has taken this to a new, boastful level of variety.Ralph NaderThe reason why it's more likely that Trump will use this dragnet in a more abusive ways, is because he and his FBI nominee have said openly that they're going to do everything they can to persecute, to go after their enemies list…The only limitation on abuse is that they don't have the manpower to actually use it all.Bruce FeinWe're the guardrails—not Congress anymore. It's the people who have to stand up and protest and not send scoundrels back to office if they're not discharging their obligations under the United States Constitution. If we aren't the guardrails, there aren't any out there.Bruce FeinNews 1/15/251. In Gaza, CNN reports a ceasefire deal has finally been reached. This comes on the heels of negotiations between the warring parties, attended by envoys of both President Biden and incoming President Trump, with Egyptian and Qatari mediators. Under the terms of this deal, Hamas has agreed to free the remaining 33 Israeli hostages in their custody, while Israel will “free hundreds of Palestinian prisoners.” Trump's apparent demand for an immediate settlement with this many Israeli concessions comes as a shock. Israeli journalist Erel Segal, widely seen as a Netanyahu proxy, is quoted saying “We're the 1st to pay a price for Trump's election. [The deal] is being forced upon us… We thought we'd take control of northern Gaza, that they'd let us impede humanitarian aid.”2. In more foreign policy news, the American Prospect is out with a piece on the gifts received by senior foreign policy officials in the Biden Administration. According to this report, Bill Burns – Director of the Central Intelligence Agency – has in the past year received “an $18,000 astrograph, an $11,000 Omega watch, and a ceremonial Saudi war sword.” By comparison, Secretary of State Antony Blinken received $600 worth of memorabilia and “several acrylic landscape portraits.” As this piece notes, individuals cannot keep these gifts – they become public property – yet the disparity in these gifts does reflect the difference in perception toward Blinken and Burns. As one State Department official put it, “When you want someone to drink champagne, you send Blinken. When you need someone to actually fix s**t in Brazil, the Middle East, or Russia, you send Burns.”3. And in the final days of his administration, AP's Matt Lee reports President Biden will reverse Trump's decision to designate Cuba a state sponsor of terror. The state sponsor of terror designation resulted in Cuba facing even harsher sanctions than they had during the decades-long embargo and led to multiple critical shortages of essential goods like fuel. Since the designation was announced in 2021, many have called for it to be reversed, including New York State Senators and representatives in New York, Massachusetts and Minnesota, as well as local representatives and labor unions like the UAW, UE, and others, per People's Dispatch. It is unclear why Biden is taking this action now and Trump can reverse this move as soon as he takes office.4. Turning to labor, NBC reports the Services Employees International Union (SEIU) will rejoin the AFL-CIO, 20 years after leaving the labor federation. With SEIU back in the fold, the AFL-CIO will represent over 15 million workers. AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler is quoted saying “We are the, probably, only institution in the country that has an infrastructure in every city, in every state, in every workplace, that is a mobilizing machine…And as they say, outside power builds inside power.” This move is widely seen as an attempt to consolidate worker power ahead of Trump's return to office, though the unions have resisted saying so explicitly. The Teamsters left the AFL-CIO around the same time as the SEIU, but have made no moves to rejoin the labor federation and have instead opted to strategically align themselves with Trump. It remains to be seen which strategy will yield better results.5. In more labor news, Fast Company reports servers at Waffle House franchises around the country claim “the chain forces them to do janitorial work and dishwashing for [sub-minimum] tipped wages, robbing them of up to $46.8 million.” As this piece notes, “Wage theft…is a common practice. As of 2017…workers lose $15 billion annually in minimum wage violations alone.” Moreover, “From 2021 to 2024, the Department of Labor recovered more than $1 billion in back wages and damages for 615,000 employees in the U.S.” Waffle House is a particularly egregious offender, with 90% of workers surveyed reporting they had experienced some form of wage theft in the past year. The state minimum wage in Georgia, where Waffle House is based, is a meager $5.15 per hour, yet the tipped minimum is even lower at just $2.13 – a starvation wage. One worker, Melissa Steach, is quoted saying “Corporations can't keep throwing us around because we make all this money for them…And what are they really doing with it? They are not supporting their workers. They can't keep screwing us around. We're here. We're worth it.”6. On the other end of the spectrum, Apple CEO Tim Cook's staggering compensation package hit nearly $75 million in 2024, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Converted to an hourly wage, this equates to roughly $600 per minute. This is a substantial increase from his 2023 total of $63.2 million, but still lower than the nearly $100 million he received in 2022. In October, Apple reported its services business, including Apple Music and iCloud, hit a revenue of $24.97 billion for the quarter, a “new all-time high for the company.”7. In more tech news, the Intercept reports Meta – parent company of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp – is relaxing their content moderation rules as they relate to hate speech. The Intercept received leaked training materials to this effect, which explicitly outline what users are now allowed to say. These officially permitted statements include “Immigrants are grubby, filthy pieces of s**t,” “Jews are flat out greedier than Christians,” and simply “I'm a proud racist.” The Electronic Frontier Foundation's international freedom of expression director Jillian York is quoted in this piece saying, “While [Meta's previous censorship regime] has often resulted in over-moderation that I and many others have criticized, these examples demonstrate that Meta's policy changes are political in nature and not intended to simply allow more freedom of expression.”8. In a more positive story of social progress, EuroNews reports that the Italian Bishops' Conference has issued new guidelines all but clearing the way for openly gay men to enter the priesthood. According to the newly issued report, titled "Guidelines and norms for seminaries,” "When referring to homosexual tendencies, it's… appropriate not to reduce discernment only to this aspect, but, as for every candidate, to grasp its meaning in the global framework of the young person's personality.” In 2023 Pope Francis told the AP that “being homosexual isn't a crime,” and has endorsed the church “blessing” same-sex unions. Women remain entirely excluded from the priesthood.9. On the domestic front, Axios reports Justice Democrats – the progressive insurgent group – is planning a new wave of primary challenges to unseat “corporatist” incumbent Democrats. While the group's number one target seems to be George Latimer, who ousted Congressman Jamaal Bowman from his newly redrawn seat last cycle, spokesperson Usamah Andrabi told Axios the group is, “keeping every deep blue district on the table.” However, many of the prominent House progressives are shying away from this effort. Pramila Jayapal, former chair of the Progressive Caucus said “I think given what's at stake we feel really urgently that we need to protect all incumbents,” while Ilhan Omar said "There are folks who endorse against their own colleagues, but I don't."10. Finally, Public Citizen co-presidents Rob Weissman and Lisa Gilbert have written a letter to the chairs of the Trump Transition team asking to be named members of the Department of Government Efficiency, aka DOGE. In this letter, Weissman and Gilbert express their “concerns about DOGE's structure and mission,” particularly with regard to its proposed leaders Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, who “hold financial interests that will be directly affected by federal budgetary policies,” but also makes the key argument that DOGE's mission to “slash excess regulation” and “cut wasteful expenditures” must be tied to the other “half of the picture: more efficiently regulating corporations to better protect consumers and the public from harmful corporate practices.” They argue that their “appointment to serve as members of DOGE” would enable them to serve as “voices for the interests of consumers and the public who are the beneficiaries of federal regulatory and spending programs.” Rather than an earnest plea for an appointment, this letter is more likely meant to expose a key issue with the DOGE project: those in charge of cutting supposed government waste are riddled with conflicts of interests. They have too many fingers in the pie. If Trump were serious about reducing government spending generally – and corruption specifically – he would appoint people like Weissman and Gilbert, not Ramaswamy and Musk. And they would start with the unbelievably bloated, unauditable Pentagon budget.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

As Donald Trump prepares to assume office again, Dr. John Gartner and Dr. Harry Siegel discuss this unsettling transition period, the nomination of Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense, and the alarming tactics that have compromised the Senate's confirmation process.  Alongside our hosts today is Dr. Matt Ditty, a clinical social worker and expert in dialectical behavioral therapy, who brings his eloquence and wisdom to provide tips for managing the psychological challenges of what lies ahead.

We'll analyze how this impacts his decision making and discuss the worrying implications of Pete Hegseth's nomination process-where intimidation has pressured senators to overlook crucial background checks, and silence potential witnesses. Dr. Ditty provides us with unique guidance for managing the stress and anxiety that accompany these challenging political times. An expert in dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), Diddy prescribes powerful tools to help us maintain our balance amidst such uncertainty.  Like some of our previous guests, he also stresses the need for radical acceptance to empower individuals—which means acknowledging reality, without passively resigning to it.  And we'll examine the ugly phenomenon of Trump's world of fiction, where corporate media has let his disinformation and lies ultimately shape the narrative.  Like every one of our episodes, this is a call to action. We are urging listeners to remain vigilant and courageous amidst the coming storm. As society grapples with the normalization of ethically questionable behaviors, maintaining a firm grasp on truth, and our anxiety, becomes more important than ever. That's why the hosts, along with Dr. Ditty, are so strongly advocating for a healthy, grounded, mental well-being. Be sure to join Dr. Gartner and Dr. Siegel next time as they speak out about Trump, provide their expert analysis of current events, and empower our audience to stand tall in these tumultuous times.

U.S. authorities arrested dozens of members of the Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua during recent operations in two major American cities. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said 16 suspected gang members were nabbed Tuesday in Aurora, Colorado, after the criminals were linked to a home invasion and kidnapping at an apartment building that Tren de Aragua had taken over. That came less than two weeks after federal agents handcuffed 22 suspected gangsters in New York City during raids in Brooklyn and the Bronx.

In today's show: The Nation is shocked as the details of the crimes committed by the 37 death row inmates who President Biden commuted yesterday are being exposed. It is breathtaking how evil those people are. Meanwhile, preparations by the Trump Transition team are working full-time to jumpstart preparations for the Trump 47 Administration. We dig into the substance of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., who Trump nominated to serve as Secretary of Health and Human Services. Though not a doctor, he has been an "expert" for years on Americans' health (or lack of) and the pitiful conditions of our food system.

[SEGMENT 2-1] Transition polling 1 Polls, Lies, and Government Deception Folks, let me tell you something. These days, everything is polled. And I mean everything. From Trump picks to Biden's pardons, it all being polled. Now, in business, polling makes sense. Companies use it to figure out what works, what doesn't, and how to sell you more stuff. They actually need accurate data because if they screw up, you stop buying. Simple, right? But in politics? Oh, no. Polling isn't about accuracy. It's about manipulation. It's about selling a narrative. As we used to say back in the day: junk in, junk out. Garbage data goes into a system, and you get garbage results. But here's the thing—when your “product” is self-preservation, you don't care if the data is garbage. You just need it to sound good enough to fool the masses.Polls Are Propaganda Let's be real. The government, especially the Leftist version, isn't trying to serve you. It's trying to grow itself. Think about it—when's the last time you heard about a government agency getting smaller? Anyone? Exactly. The IRS grows. The EPA grows. Heck, even the Department of Education, which hasn't educated anyone since they put up the first cubicle, grows. Why? Because in government, growth equals survival. Shrink, and your budget shrinks. Shrink too much, and people realize, “Hey, maybe we don't actually need this agency at all.” So, what do they do? They fund studies—using your tax dollars, by the way—that magically “prove” we need more government intervention. It's a beautiful little racket.Crazy Polls and Crazier Policies Let's talk about some of the insanity polls have been used to justify. Take the border. A recent Gallup poll showed 81% of Americans want increased border security. That's a bipartisan majority, folks. But what did Biden's administration do? They doubled down on open-border policies. And then they sent Mayorkas out to tell us, with a straight face, “The border is secure.” Secure for who? Cartels? Human traffickers? Or how about student loan forgiveness? Sure, there's a slice of Americans who love the idea—namely, the ones holding the loans. But the other 65% of Americans without student debt? They weren't exactly thrilled about footing the bill. Polls showed a lot of them opposed the plan, but Biden didn't care. The narrative was already set: “Americans want this!” Yeah, sure they do.  [SEGMENT 2-2] Transition polling 2   When Polls Get It Spectacularly Wrong And then there are the polls that are so off-base, they're hilarious. Remember Professor Alan Lichtman? He's the “guru” who's supposed to predict elections with pinpoint accuracy. This guy predicted Kamala Harris would win in a landslide. Kamala. Harris. Folks, Kamala couldn't win a game of checkers in her own party. Lichtman wasn't just wrong; he was epically wrong. And his response? “I need to review my methodology.” No kidding, professor. Maybe start by asking someone who's been outside a university faculty lounge in the past decade.Experts: The Government's Favorite Cheerleaders Let's not forget the “experts” these polls prop up. Dr. Fauci, Robert Mueller, James Comey—names we were told to trust. Fauci was “America's doctor.” Mueller was “the epitome of justice.” Comey? “The last honest man in Washington.” What a load of nonsense. Fauci's COVID guidance flipped more often than a gymnast at the Olympics. Mueller's investigation was a political sideshow with no elephants, just clowns. And Comey? The guy ran the FBI like it was his personal PR firm. These weren't experts; they were figureheads for a system that lies to you while patting itself on the back.Polls as Psyops Here's the thing about polls—they're not about informing you. They're about influencing you. Take COVID and the vaccines. Early polls claimed Americans were lining up in droves to get vaccinated. But dig a little deeper, and you'd find a huge portion of the population was hesitant. Did the government address that with transparency or facts? Nope. They rolled out TikTok dancers and Krispy Kreme giveaways. Because nothing says “scientific credibility” like free donuts.What to Expect As Trump gears up for 2024, you can bet the polling games will ramp up. Pollsters will try to convince you that Americans want more Biden policies—despite the evidence literally punching us in the face. They'll claim inflation is “transitory.” That the economy is “strong.” That the border is “secure.” But here's the truth: Trump's policies work. His agenda isn't about propping up the system; it's about solving real problems. And that terrifies the establishment. Because a system that feeds on chaos and lies can't survive in a world built on results and accountability.My Challenge to You So, folks, here's my advice. Stay skeptical. Whenever you see a poll claiming 90% of Americans want some insane policy, ask yourself two questions: Who funded this poll? And what are they trying to sell me? Because at the end of the day, polls don't reflect reality—they're designed to shape it. And if we're not careful, we'll end up living in a world created not by truth, but by lies dressed up as “data.”      [SEGMENT 2-3] Transition polling 3 - Hegseth   Pete Hegseth: The Latest Target of Political Character Assassination? Of all Donald Trump's appointments, the one I find least intriguing is Pete Hegseth. Yes, the man is an accomplished Army veteran and former Fox News host, but I've had my reservations. Having co-hosted Fox & Friends Weekend with him, I found him to be a bit… full of himself. Granted, this is not a disqualification for public service (or television, for that matter). But let's just say he seemed more interested in basking in the glow of young producers' admiration than in rolling up his sleeves. To be fair, my personal impressions don't define the man or his qualifications. What does interest me, however, is the political circus surrounding Hegseth's recent nomination as Secretary of Defense by President-elect Trump. The Democrats and their media allies have wasted no time dredging up allegations, including accusations of serial adultery, on-the-job drinking, and even rape. These accusations should be taken seriously, of course—but so too should the timing and tactics behind their release. The parallels to other cases of high-profile character assassination are hard to ignore.The Rape Allegation: What We Know The most serious allegation stems from an incident in 2017, when Hegseth was accused of raping a woman at a hotel in Monterey, California. According to reports, the alleged assault occurred after Hegseth spoke at a Republican convention. The woman filed a police report, but no charges were ever brought against him. Fast forward to today: Hegseth reportedly reached a financial settlement with the accuser, accompanied by a confidentiality agreement. However, according to his attorney, Tim Parlatore, the woman herself voided the agreement and has been free to speak publicly. [X] SB – CNN Caitlin Collins   Extortion Why not go to the police at the time. Rises to the level of criminal extortion Civil extortion; violation of the agreement, if he's not confirmed  [SEGMENT 2-4] Transition polling 4     [X] SB – CNN Caitlin Collins shocked to learn that Hegseth accuser can speak out   The timing is, of course, curious. Why now? Why bring these allegations into the spotlight just as Hegseth is poised to take on one of the most significant roles in government? The answer is painfully obvious: this is standard Democratic operating procedure.A Familiar Playbook If this sounds like déjà vu, that's because it is. Democrats have perfected the art of weaponizing accusations—often decades old—to derail their political opponents. Think Brett Kavanaugh. Think Clarence Thomas. The strategy is as old as Roman political intrigue: assassinate the character, and the man will fall with it. Let's not forget the broader context of Trump's nominations. The Left's outrage machine has not spared a single appointee, especially for roles as significant as Secretary of Defense. Victor Davis Hanson recently highlighted the abysmal tenure of current Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, whose tenure has been marred by a chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan, divisive diversity initiatives, and a military recruitment crisis. If a baboon were nominated to replace Austin, it might actually perform better. But Hegseth? While perhaps not the most conventional choice, he is at least a decorated veteran with firsthand experience of the military's challenges. Compare that to Austin, who has prioritized wokeness over warfare, and the contrast is striking. A Broader Issue: Character Assassination as Political Strategy The Hegseth saga is emblematic of a larger problem in American politics: the increasing reliance on personal destruction as a tool for political gain. This isn't about justice or accountability; it's about humiliation and power. Take the tactic of dredging up past allegations, whether true or not, at precisely the moment someone is poised to ascend to a position of prominence. This isn't justice—it's blackmail by another name. And it's a dangerous precedent. Hegseth's alleged actions, if true, should of course be subject to scrutiny. But the selective timing and framing of these allegations suggest something more sinister. It's not about finding the truth—it's about ensuring that certain truths never see the light of day.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kevin-jackson-show--2896352/support.

Pete Hegseth's Pentagon nomination may not survive new investigative reporting by the New Yorker Magazine, detailing years of financial and personal misconduct, and sexual impropriety and misconduct when he led 2 veterans' groups, reporting so bad that even his lawyer has started to distance himself from Hegseth, as the Trump Transition team lets it be known that they are “pissed” at Hegseth. Michael Popok predicts that it is likely that Hegseth pulls his own nomination a la Gaetz, and Trump is likely regretting giving the media so much time to “vet” his candidates.
