Please subscribe now for as little as 5$ and gain access to a community of over 700 awesome, curious, kind, funny, brilliant, generous souls Check out StandUpwithPete.com to learn more RANDI WEINGARTEN is president of the 1.8 million-member AFT, which represents teachers; paraprofessionals and school-related personnel; higher education faculty and staff; nurses and other healthcare professionals; local, state and federal government employees; and early childhood educators. The AFT is dedicated to the belief that every person in America deserves the freedom to thrive, fueled by opportunity, justice and a voice in our democracy. This freedom is achieved through an economy that works for all, including the ability to form a union; great public schools and affordable higher education; healthcare as a right; retirement security; the right to vote and civil rights; a vibrant democracy; and safe, welcoming and healthy environments and communities. The AFT and its members advance these principles through community engagement, organizing, collective bargaining and political activism, and especially through members' work—we care, fight, show up and vote. Prior to her election as AFT president in 2008, Weingarten served for 11 years as president of the United Federation of Teachers, AFT Local 2, representing approximately 200,000 educators in the New York City public school system, as well as home child care providers and other workers in health, law and education. Weingarten is the recipient of many commendations; she was included in Washingtonian's 2021 Washington's Most Influential People, City & State New York's 2021 New York City Labor Power 100, and Washington Life's 2018 Power 100 list of prominent leaders, and in 2017 received the Roosevelt Institute's FDR Distinguished Public Service Award. In 2013, the New York Observer named Weingarten one of the most influential New Yorkers of the past 25 years. Weingarten has led the AFT's efforts to strengthen public education for all children and to address the crisis in the teaching profession caused by deep disinvestment and the deprofessionalization of teaching. Through the AFT's Fund Our Future campaign, AFT members and leaders throughout the country are fighting for adequate investment in public education. Parents and many others have joined the AFT's efforts to end the overuse and misuse of standardized tests, and to fix—not close—struggling schools, something Weingarten has advocated since her involvement in the creation of New York City's Chancellor's District, which dramatically improved achievement in what had been some of the city's lowest-performing schools. Weingarten has launched major efforts to place real education reform high on the nation's and her union's agendas. She created the AFT Innovation Fund, a groundbreaking initiative to support sustainable, innovative and collaborative education reform projects developed by members and their local unions. At Weingarten's direction, the AFT developed a model to transform teacher evaluations from a way of simply rating teachers to a tool for continuous improvement and feedback. This model is used to align tenure and due process, so that tenure serves as a guarantee of fairness, not of a job for life. Weingarten led an AFT committee that called for all prospective teachers to meet a high entry standard—as in medicine or law—so that they're prepared from the day they enter the classroom. Weingarten oversaw the development of the AFT's Quality Education Agenda, which advocates for reforms grounded in evidence, equity, scalability and sustainability. She promotes what she calls “solution-driven unionism”—an approach to collective bargaining and collective action that unites the interests of union members and those they serve in the pursuit of solutions that benefit students, schools and communities. Under Weingarten's leadership, the AFT continues to grow and expand its voice as a union of professionals. Nationwide, the AFT is the second-largest union of nurses and other health professionals and the largest higher education union, representing 230,000 higher education faculty, professional staff and graduate employees. Weingarten helped source millions of dollars of personal protective equipment for nurses and health professionals experiencing shortages as they served on the frontlines of the coronavirus pandemic. Weingarten is an advocate for a New Deal for Higher Education, a campaign calling for substantial federal investment in higher education that would prioritize teaching, research and student supports; provide sustainable careers with professional voice for all faculty and staff; allow all students to attend regardless of ability to pay; create academic environments free of racism and other forms of bigotry; and cancel student debt. The AFT provides our members tools and information they can use to manage their federal student loan debt, including having that debt forgiven, while advocating for solutions to the escalating cost of higher education, predatory loan practices, and terrible loan servicing that is holding people back. The AFT and a broad array of parent and community partners across the country have collaborated on events to advance a community- and educator-driven agenda for public school reform. Weingarten spearheaded the development of Share My Lesson, the United States' largest free collection of lesson plans, classroom activities, and teaching strategies and resources created by educators, for educators—all at no cost. The AFT has a long-standing partnership with First Book, which has provided 5 million free and reduced-price books to children. Weingarten and the AFT were asked to lead a partnership to transform McDowell County, W.Va., one of the poorest counties in the United States. The AFT has assembled more than 100 partners not only to improve the quality of education provided to children in the county, but to focus on jobs, transportation, recreation, housing, healthcare and social services. Weingarten believes the rural way of life is worth fighting for, and the AFT's experience in McDowell County informs the work Weingarten is advancing to help rural communities thrive—through education, healthcare and economic opportunities. The AFT supports the strategic establishment of 25,000 community schools where students and families can access tailored health services and social services in one place, and marginalized communities can have access to services and support. Weingarten views this goal as especially vital to help children, families and communities recover from the wide-ranging impacts of the coronavirus pandemic and ensuing recession. When the COVID-19 crisis hit, the AFT worked with scientists and health professionals to develop a blueprint for reopening schools. The AFT continues to advocate for the funding and necessary testing and safety protocols to ensure in-person learning is safe.  During the Trump administration, Weingarten led the AFT's efforts to oppose Trump and Betsy DeVos' fervent attempts to defund and destabilize public education and to stand up to the administration's racist policies and attacks on facts and democracy. In 2012-13, Weingarten served on an education reform commission convened by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, which made a series of recommendations to improve teaching and learning. She was appointed to the Equity and Excellence Commission, a federal advisory committee chartered by Congress to examine and make recommendations concerning the disparities in educational opportunities that give rise to the achievement gap. For 10 years, while president of the UFT, Weingarten chaired New York City's Municipal Labor Committee, an umbrella organization for the city's 100-plus public sector unions, including those representing higher education and other public service employees. As chair of the MLC, she coordinated labor negotiations and bargaining for benefits on behalf of the MLC unions' 365,000 members. From 1986 to 1998, Weingarten served as counsel to UFT President Sandra Feldman, taking a lead role in contract negotiations and enforcement, and in lawsuits in which the union fought for adequate school funding and building conditions. A teacher of history at Clara Barton High School in Brooklyn's Crown Heights neighborhood from 1991 to 1997, Weingarten helped her students win several state and national awards debating constitutional issues. Elected as the local union's assistant secretary in 1995 and as treasurer two years later, she became UFT president after Feldman became president of the AFT. Weingarten was elected to her first full term as UFT president in 1998 and was re-elected three times. Weingarten's column “What Matters Most” appears in the New York Times' Sunday Review the third Sunday of each month. You can follow her on Twitter at @rweingarten (Twitter.com/rweingarten) and on Facebook (Facebook.com/randi.weingarten.9). Weingarten holds degrees from Cornell University's School of Industrial and Labor Relations and the Cardozo School of Law. She worked as a lawyer for the Wall Street firm of Stroock & Stroock & Lavan from 1983 to 1986. She is an active member of the Democratic National Committee and numerous professional, civic and philanthropic organizations. Born in 1957 and raised in Rockland County, N.Y., Weingarten now resides in the Inwood neighborhood of New York City.

Das gesamte Meeting dauerte um die drei Stunden, wovon ich knapp zwei Stunden aufgezeichnet habe.Aus rechtlichen Gründen veröffentliche ich kein Audomaterial – vielmehr zehn zentrale Passagen in Schriftform mit Zeitstempeln. Diese Passagen decken zusammen rund 15 Minuten der Aufzeichnung ab.Namen von handelnden Personen wurden soweit erforderlich anonymisiert, die Transkription ist wortwörtlich und erfolgte nach bestem Wissen und Gewissen - soweit Wörter unverständlich waren, wurde dies angezeichnet.  Passage 1: 00:07:34 – 00:11:59 „Wir finden ihn nicht“ Michael NikbakhshDagmar W. hat den Todeszeitpunkt auf ungefähr sechs Uhr datiert, stimmt das? (Anm. W. ist die am 20. Oktober 2023 herbeigerufene Notärztin) Karin WurmJa, also Anna P.Ja, eine Stunde, maximal zwei. Und sie war unten um acht Uhr fünfzehn, war sie circa unten Michael NikbakhshDein Bruder ist ein Feuerwehrmann, der dabei war? Anna P.Ja Michael NikbakhshEr hatte kein Wasser in der Lunge Anna P.Nein. Mein Bruder, sein bester Freund und dann von der Gemeinde, Gemeindemitarbeiter, zwei, die alle dabei waren und die haben alle gesagt, da stimmt was nicht Karin WurmUnd der S., der Bestatter, den konnte ich leider noch nicht irgendwie interviewen, sage ich mal, der hat gesagt, so etwas hat er in seiner ganzen Laufbahn noch nicht gesehen. Das ist ganz, ganz eigenartig gewesen Anna P.Ich meine, das Wasser. Wenn ich mich umbringe, Punkt eins, dann brauchst nicht ins Wasser, derschießt sich, hängt sich auf. Punkt zwei, es war der Seitenarm, wo das Wasser  Karin WurmEin Meter zwanzig Anna P.Einszwanzig hatte und ein Becken, weil links, rechts eine Schotterbank war, dass er nicht einmal hinaustreiben hat können. Und er ist am Rücken geschwommen Karin WurmKeine Verletzungen Anna P.Er hat nur da eine Schürfwunde gehabt Michael NikbakhshWie weit weg vom Haus ist das?Karin Wurm250 Meter Anna P.Luftlinie, ja, maximal Karin WurmAlso immer gerade und dann ein bissl rechts und dann beim Schranken Anna P.Grad runter, quasi Karin WurmDa sind wir immer mit der Helene spazieren gegangen, deshalb kannte er diese Gegend Michael NikbakhshAlso er lag am Rücken im Wasser, in einem knietiefen oder  Karin WurmSeicht Michael NikbakhshSeichten Wasser Karin WurmEine Lacke, sozusagen Michael NikbakhshUnd dann habe die Amtsärztin festgestellt, dass da was nicht stimmt Karin WurmJa, es stinkt zum Himmel Michael NikbakhshUnd der leitende Kriminalbeamte wollte ihn aber gleich mitnehmen lassen Karin WurmJa, genau. „Das kostet mich den Kopf“, hat er gesagt, „wenn der zur Obduktion kommt“ Anna P.Angeblich … unverständlich … der Takacs Michl, weil ich hab ihn angerufen, ja, … unverständlich … Innenministerium, und es war meine erste Reaktion, dass ich ihn anrufe und sag: Michl, wir haben ein Problem. Ich hab gestern den Christian geholt, dem haben's den Schein zwickt. Sagt er: „Ja, das hab ich schon gehört.“Sag ich: Ja, aber das Problem ist, wir finden ihn nicht. „Ja, ihr müsst's ihn suchen fahren.“Sag ich: Wir sind grad auf dem Weg. Sagt er: „Habt's keine Angst, wenn er wo im Weingarten liegert worden ist, dann, es war nicht so kalt.“ Sag ich: Ja, aber es sind die ganzen Weinbauern, es ist Lese, sag ich, da stimmt was nicht. „Na fahrt's einmal und ich melde mich dann in einer halben Stunde wieder oder ruf mich an.“ Es hat nicht einmal eine halbe Stunde gedauert, sind wir intuitiv da rausgefahren. Das Polizeiauto ist dagestanden und ich hab zur Karin gesagt: Die reden wir jetzt an, da stimmt was nicht. Und da waren keine Autos und dann ist ein Lkw-Fahrer rübergekommen, und ich hab ihm gedeutet, du kommst nicht raus, wir haben dich eingeparkt, sagt er: „Ja, die hab eh ich geholt, weil da unten schwimmt eine Leiche“. Dann sind wir nach vorn gelaufen, das waren Bekannte vom Posten Mautern Karin WurmDie haben dann gefragt: „Was suchen Sie?“ Christian Pilnacek. „Und was hat er angehabt?“ Blaue Hose, rosa Pullover, weißes Hemd, Nike-Turnschuhe und eine grüne Barbour Jacke Anna P.Und anscheinend haben sie den Auftrag gehabt, dass sie so schnell wie möglich schauen, dass er dort wegkommt, bevor die Medien da sind Karin WurmKeine Tatortsicherung  Anna P.Hat es ja angeblich gegeben. Ich habe dann gesagt zum Takacs Michl und zum M., mit dem habe ich schon im Innenministerium zusammengearbeitet und dann im Parlament, habe ich gesagt, M., ich will nur wissen, wann und wo angeblich diese Geisterfahrermeldungen gekommen sind und ich will die Fotos sehen, wo es angeblich diese Spur gibt, wo er ausgerutscht ist, weil ich kenne mich da unten aus, ich bin da daheim, ich will das sehen. Kein Kontakt mehr, keine Fotos, nichts ist uns gezeigt worden. Chris MatturaDie Geisterfahrmeldung hat es angeblich gegeben, weil eine Bekannte von mir, die hat das gehört Anna P.Jedenfalls, ich habe dann, wie das alles so dubios geworden ist, habe ich dann nimmer nachgefragt, weil mich hat ja dann am 30. Oktober am Montag der Wolfgang angerufen. Er ist ja dann erst eine Woche später, am Feiertag obduziert worden, am Montag drauf ruft mich der Wolfgang an, Sobotka, und sagt zu mir: „Ja, das erste Obduktionsergebnis, dass er wirklich ertrunken ist.“Und ich hab zu ihm gesagt, das geht nicht in meinen Schädel hinein, alle die unten waren, der hat Luft in der Lunge gehabt. Ja, ich hab mit Ärzten geredet, das geht, sekundäres Ertrinken. „Nein! Das war nicht einmal sekundäres Ertrinken, und was da drinsteht, das stimmt und dem kann man vertrauen und muss man, was da drinsteht!“Und ich hab dann nur gesagt, ja, gut, dann war es halt so.Und dann, ein paar Tage später, hat er mich wieder angerufen, hat er gesagt: „Du, ich höre, dass deine Freundin und du mit Medien, mit Journalisten redet.“Sag ich, Wolfgang, Bullshit, sage ich, wir reden mit keinem. Karin WurmHalte sie zurück Anna P.„Ja, hol deine Freundin ab, halte sie zurück, ihr dürft mit keinem reden.“ Ich hab dann gesagt, dann ist es wieder wegen der Todesursache gegangen, hat er gesagt: „Ja, das war so.“Und ich sag noch, dann war es vielleicht ein Unfall. Dann hat er ins Telefon hineingeplärrt: „Nein! Das war nicht einmal ein Unfall! Das war Ertrinken ohne Fremdverschulden, das ist festgestellt worden!“ Sag ich, gut, dann war das so. Passage 2: 00:15:41 - 00:16:44 "Shit happens" Peter HocheggerWas hat er gemacht während der Fahrt, wo du ihn abgeholt hast? Anna P.Zehn Minuten hat er mit dem Handy getippt. Angeblich hat er mit dem Typen geschrieben, den er in der ungarischen Botschaft getroffen hat und mit dem er da geschäftlich etwas geplant hätte.Dem hat er geschrieben „Scheiße, mir haben's den Schein abgenommen“, und der muss geantwortet haben „Shit happens“, und nach zehn Minuten ist er eingeschlafen und hat dann bis zur Haustür quasi geschlafen dann.Und dann auf der Terrasse hat er aber dann noch eine halbe Stunde wieder wie narrisch mit wem geschrieben, wo aber keiner weiß, mit wem. Meine Vermutung war dasselbe, dass er gesagt hat, tut's jetzt was für mich, oder ich pack aus. Michael NikbakhshUnd dann hat ihm jemand gesagt „Christian, können wir uns treffen.“ Und dann ist wahrscheinlich was schiefgelaufen Anna P.Weil, weißt du, was das Komische ist. Wenn ich saufen geh und fett bin und hocke dann fünf Stunden unten, bin ich eigentlich voll nüchtern und überleg mir das nicht nach fünf Stunden, sondern mach es gleich Karin WurmUnd noch einmal: So volltrunken wäre der Christian nie ins Auto gestiegen, der hat was getrunken, ja, aber nicht bei 1,5 (Anm. Promille) und meine Vermutung ist ja, dass ihm die vielleicht Tropfen reingehaut haben, irgendwo. Christian MatturaDas habe ich auch schon gehört, dass er im Regina Margerita (Anm. ein Wiener Innenstadt-Restaurant) eher einen Kasperl aufgeführt hat, was er normal nicht war Passage 3: 00:17:54 - 00:20:34 „Lasst's ihn verschwinden“ Michael NikbakhshKommen wir zu einem Punkt, der, wenn es so ist, wie ich es gehört habe, der heikel ist, wie nichts anderes in der Sache. Und dort sind schon so viele Sachen heikel. Stimmt es, dass du dem Sobotka gesagt hast, du hast den Laptop in die Donau geschmissen? Anna P.Nein, noch nicht Christian MatturaHast ihm noch nicht gesagt Anna P.Nein Christian MatturaAber ich hab geglaubt, du sagst es ihm Anna P.Nein, nein, ich hab gesagt … unverständlich … Die Geschichte war so. Wir sind dann am Sonntag drauf, seine Frau ist Therapeutin, habe ich gesagt, Marlies, können wir kommen, weil wir wirklich fertig waren. Und ich zu tausend Prozent habe ich dann oben gesagt, sag ich: Ja, du, ich habe den Laptop, den habe ich natürlich nicht übergeben und USB-Sticks. Dann hab ich noch gemeint, dann schaust halt, was drauf ist auf die USB-Sticks, sagt er: „Nein, lieber nicht, dann sind die Fingerabdrücke oben“  Anna P.Und dann vor zwei Wochen, wie mich seine Frau kontaktiert hat Karin WurmList (Anm. Caroline List, Präsidentin des Grazer Straflandesgerichts) Anna P.Die List. Weil sie auch gefragt hat wegen dem Laptop, sag ich: Wir schauen gleich noch einmal nach und hin und her. Ist dann ein paar Tage später die G. (Anm. eine Arbeitskollegin von Anna P.) zu mir gekommen und hat gesagt – weil sie auch weiß, dass der Laptop nicht verschwunden ist und hin und her – und sie: „Der ist so wichtig, weil ich habe dem Christian auch Dateien gegeben wegen dem UsA (Anm. Untersuchungsausschuss), und wenn das herauskommt, ist das für mich auch heikel, und der Wolfgang will auch wissen, wo er ist.“Und da bin ich dann hellhörig geworden, wie sie gesagt hat, der Wolfgang will auch wissen, wo er ist Michael NikbakhshEntschuldige, wer hat das gesagt, dass der Wolfgang das auch wissen will? Anna P.Die G., meine Kollegin, die mit dem Christian und der M. (Anm. eine Journalistin) immer beieinander waren im Cavaluccio ... Also ab der Suspendierung, die kennen sich seit über 20 Jahren schon im Innenministerium und die haben sich immer getroffen, mehrmals in der Woche, zwei, dreimal im Cavaluccio, ja. Und da habe ich mir gedacht: Warum sagt sie mir das? Weil ich weiß, dass ich ihm das zwei Tage später gesagt habe. Und ich habe dann überlegt, soll ich jetzt dem Wolfgang sagen: Du, du weißt Bescheid? Und dann hab mir gedacht nein, ich sage einfach gar nichts, weil theoretisch weiß er es ja und er könnte mich ja einfach fragen. Auf der anderen Seite weiß ich, dass er schon sehr viel vergisst. Aber ich habe mir dann gedacht, ich habe mich dann entschieden, dass ich jetzt sicher nicht proaktiv zu ihm hingehe und ihm das sage.Wer es weiß, ist der Takacs Michl, weil der hat zu mir gesagt: „Ja nicht hergeben“ Karin Wurm„Lasst‘s ihn verschwinden“  Anna P.Hat er gesagt: „Lasst‘s ihn verschwinden“ Michael NikbakhshEr hat dir das gesagt? Karin WurmEr hat das gesagt, genau Anna P.Ja, er hat gesagt: „Macht's, macht's, wennst irgendwen hast, dem du vertraust, einfach weg von euch, ausse vom Haus“ Karin WurmUnd dann hat er auch noch gesagt: „Aber ich kann mich da nicht so reinhängen, weil ich hab noch ein paar Jahre zur Rente oder zur Pension. Lasst‘s mich da aus dem Spiel“ Anna P.Er hat zur mir noch gesagt: „Anna, schau durch, ob sich irgendwelche Dateien nicht öffnen lassen können, die wären vielleicht interessant, aber ja weg von euch. Wenn du wen kennst, dem du vertraust, tu das, aber weg von euch und ich will quasi nichts hören und sehen, ich hänge eh schon weit draußen, aber ich habe noch ein paar Jahre zur Pension“ Peter HocheggerAber ist interessant, nicht? Passage 4: 00:24:09 – 00:25:08 "Nix, außer ein Feuerzeug" Karin WurmUnd wo ist der USB Stick? Den hat er immer in seiner Hosentasche gehabt, einen USB, immer. Er hat am Abend die Hose ausgezogen, hat‘s am Schreibtisch gelegt und in der Früh wieder eingesteckt. Den hat er immer dabei gehabt, und ich habe immer so gescherzt: Hast eh deinen Stick dabei? Anna P.Also wir wissen, dass er an dem Abend ein dickes Packl Geld in der hinteren Hosentasche gehabt hat Karin WurmJa Peter HocheggerVom Wolfgang Anna P.Und dieser USB-Stick Karin WurmVon welchem Wolfgang? Anna P.Vom Rauball Karin WurmAha Anna P.Das hat er uns erzählt Karin WurmJa, aber ein Packl Geld? Der Rauball?  Anna P.Das hat er uns beiden erzählt, wie wir bei der C. waren.  Karin WurmJa, aber wo wäre das denn jetzt?  Anna P.Und es war der H. (Anm. ein Polizist aus Mautern), der hat seine Taschen ausgeräumt, und ich hab ihn am letzten Samstag wieder gefragt, weil wir gemeinsam auf einem Konzert waren, sag ich: Mein Bruder hat gesagt, du hast die Taschen ausgeräumt. Was war da drinnen?Sagt er: „Nix, außer ein Feuerzeug“ Karin WurmUnd der Stick ist auch weg Passage 5: 00:31:14 - 00:32:09 "Fünf Stunden fehlen" Anna P.Mein Bruder hat gesagt, es waren die Fingerspitzen schon also ein bisschen blau, mehr nicht. Was ja dann wieder darauf … unverständlich ….., dass er noch nicht lang tot war. Es hat auch C., sein bester Freund, hat dann auch gesagt: „Boah, der ist ja noch voll weich und warm, der kann nicht lang tot sein.“Das hat die Ärztin dann bestätigt Michael NikbakhshEs fehlen demnach fünf Stunden. Karin WurmFünf Stunden fehlen, das ist ja das Mysteriöse Michael NikbakhshAbwehrverletzungen? Karin WurmNichts, gar nichts Michael NikbakhshEs hätte ein natürlicher Tod oder ein Selbstmord sein können vom Gesamteindruck des Leichnams her Anna P.Die, die unten waren, mein Bruder und die alle, die alle haben gleich gesagt, der hat keine Wasserlunge. Und ich hab dann zu meinem Bruder gesagt, sag ich, wie war das? Sagt er: „Du, wir haben ihn rausgehoben, haben ihn dann auf die Seite gedreht, es ist ein bisschen Wasser vom Mund gekommen, das kommt von der Donau, von den Schiffen, einen Wellengang hast. Das kann schon reinkommen, das Wasser.“ Aber dann haben sie mir noch gesagt, sie haben ihn auf den Rücken gelegt und es ist nur Luft gekommen Passage 6: 00:34:40 - 00:35:09 "Aber du redest eh mit keinem?" Anna P.Freitag war Feiertag. Am Donnerstag haben sie Strategiebesprechung gehabt im Club und da war ich dann auch noch im Büro, weil ich erst um halb sieben abgeholt wurde und ein Kollege ist gekommen und sagt: „Anna, hast du einen kurzen Moment?“ Um sechs war das. Sagt er: „Ist die Pilnacek-Geschichte jetzt bei dir vorbei oder geben die eine Ruhe?“Sag ich: Du, jein, ist gerade wieder eine Anfrage von Österreich gekommen an den Rouven (Anm. Rouven Ertlschweiger, damals Sobotkas Sprecher).„Aha, und was steht da drinnen?“ Dann hab ich‘s ihm vorgelesen, sagt er: „Aber du redest eh mit keinem?“Sag ich: Du, ich heb bei fremden Nummern nicht ab, ich red mit keinem, ich schreib mit keinem, nein.„Ok, na dann passt's eh“ Passage 7: 01:03:34 – 01:04:31 "Das haben wir eh gut gemacht"Anmerkung: Die nachfolgende Passage beschreibt die Übergabe von Pilnaceks privatem Laptop durch Anna P. an Christian Mattura, am 7. November 2023 in einer Wiener Tiefgarage. Anna P.Ich habe das offiziell schon gleich ein paar Tage oder eine Woche später gemacht, nachdem ich es mir durchgeschaut habe, und es waren nur alte Dateien drauf und, nichts Relevantes Christian MatturaUnd falls da wirklich etwas auftaucht, Beispiel von einer Überwachungskamera von der Parkgarage am Neuen Markt Anna P.Das haben wir eh gut gemacht Christian MatturaDu hast einen Prosecco rausgenommen Anna P.Wir sind Jugendfreunde Michael NikbakhshWann hast du ihm den (Anm. Pilnaceks Laptop) gegeben? Anna P.Ich weiß nicht, wann das war, war das zwei, drei Wochen später? Christian MatturaJa, so, ja  Michael NikbakhshDas ist aber auch schon wieder einen Monat her oder so Karin WurmLänger schon. Christian MatturaEin Monat wird's sein. Anna P.Ja, ein Monat wird's sein. Und ich quasi bin hinten dann bei der Rückbank rein und hab den da unter die Jacke und hab dann zwei Flaschen Sekt rausgenommen Michael NikbakhshWar das eigentlich spontan oder wolltest du ihm den geben? Anna P.Ich wollte ihn ihm geben, weil der Rauball  (Anm. Wolfgang Rauball, ein Freund Pilnaceks) gesagt hat, er weiß wen, der das machen kann, der sich ihn anschauen kann Michael NikbakhshAlso, der Rauball weiß auch, dass es ihn gibt? Peter HocheggerJa, ja. Der hat die ganze Übung finanziert Passage 8: 01:39:38 - 01:40:41 "Wenn ich wieder ans Ruder komme" Karin WurmUnd der Basti (Anm. Sebastian Kurz) hat dem Christian ja auch gesagt, das hat er mir erzählt: „Wenn ich wieder ans Ruder komme, dann mach ich dich zum Justizminister.“ Und ich habe dann immer so in der Früh gesagt: Guten Morgen, Herr Justizminister, meine Verehrung, Herr Justizminister!Er hat gesagt: „Hör auf! Hör auf!“Sag ich: Na hearst, wennst im Pyjama neben mir sitzt!Das war immer so lustig. Das hat er ja so gern gehabt, das Normale bei mir. Weißt du, ich bin nicht so eine von oben herab Christian MatturaDu hast ihm sicherlich in dieser Zeit, das war ganz wichtig Karin Wurm Ja. „Die schönste Zeit meines Lebens“, hat er gesagt. Anna P. WurmEr hat auch immer gesagt, schad, dass ihr euch nicht schon früher getroffen habt Michael NikbakhshHat er jemals in deiner, eurer Gegenwart irgendwas von Lebensmüdigkeit angedeutet? Anna P.Nein Karin WurmNein, nie Michael NikbakhshJemals in eurer Gegenwart zu verstehen gegeben, dass er zu Affekthandlungen neigt, zu unüberlegtem Vorgehen? Karin WurmNein, überhaupt nicht. Er hat gesagt: “Hier, ich bin hier so zu Hause, ich bin ja schon ein Rossatzer“, hat er immer gesagt. Das hat er zu der Mikl-Leitner gesagt: „Ich bin jetzt schon ein Rossatzer.“ Und zum Ritschie Grasl Passage 9: 01:41:37 - 01:43:02 "Bring mir den nicht schon wieder" Michael NikbakhshUnd die Frustration über die ÖVP? Und die versuchten Interventionen? War das jemals ein Thema? Also quasi das, was er am Bandl gesagt hat? (Anm. das von Christian Matura im Juli 2023 heimlich hergestellte Pilnacek-Tape)Hat er das im kleinen Kreis auch wiederholt? Karin WurmBei uns nicht Anna P.Bei uns nicht. Ich weiß über die G., dass er das, also die hat mir paar mal so Geschichten gesagt, dass er das tatsächlich schon die letzten zwei Jahre immer wieder gesagt hat, wie der UsA angefangen hat (Anm. gemeint ist hier der ÖVP-Korruptionsausschuss 2021-2024).Auch diese Aussage so quasi zum Wolfgang „Warum hast du mir nicht geholfen?“ „Weil du hast dich nicht für uns entschieden“ Chris MatturaDa wo uns wir getroffen haben, hat es dreimal so eine Situation gegeben. Das ist in so ein Gespräch abgedriftet, also ich kannte das wirklich schon davor und eben am 28. Juli habe ich draufgedrückt Anna P. Er wollte ja öfters einen Termin beim Wolfgang haben, das habe ich auch über die G. mitgekriegt. Dann hat er sich einmal getroffen und dann wollte er wieder einen haben und ich weiß nur, dass die G. einmal gesagt hat, dass der Wolfgang irgendwie gesagt hat: „Nein, nicht schon wieder. Bring mir den nicht schon wieder“ Oder weiß ich nicht Karin WurmUnd die Situation beim Heurigen. Wir waren ja oft beim Heurigen, der Christian und ich. Und da ist der Sobotka gesessen mit seiner Frau und noch ein paar anderen und der Christian war ja so ein vornehmer, höflicher Mensch, ist dann hingegangen hat dem Wolfgang Sobotka die Hand hin, und der ist nicht einmal aufgestanden.  Passage 10: 01:46:40 - 01:47:09 "Da stimmt etwas ganz gewaltig nicht" Anna P.Also der Wolfgang, ich hab‘s eh gesagt, der ist so eintrichternd – „Das war Selbstmord und das war doch ohne Fremdverschulden.“ Und was mir auch nicht aus dem Kopf geht: Der Tomac Heli, der Landespolizeidirektor aus Tirol (Anm. Helmut Tomac), hat dem Rauball eine Nachricht geschickt Peter HocheggerEr glaubt's nicht Karin WurmEr glaubt's nicht, genau Anna P.Wie das rausgekommen ist mit dem Obduktionsbericht, muss er ihm geschrieben haben: „Lieber Wolfgang, da stimmt etwas gewaltig nicht“---------------------------------- Die Dunkelkammer ist ein Stück Pressefreiheit.

What do you do when faced with a big, important question that keeps you up at night? Many people seek quick answers dispensed by “experts,” influencers, and gurus. But these one-size-fits-all solutions often fail to satisfy, and can even cause more pain.  In How to Fall in Love With Questions, Elizabeth Weingarten finds inspiration in a few famous lines from Rainer Maria Rilke's Letters to a Young Poet, and then takes this insight – to love the questions themselves – to modern science to offer a fresh approach for dealing with the uncertainty in our lives. What if our questions—the ones we ask about relationships, work, meaning, identity, and purpose—are not our tormentors, but our teachers? Weingarten offers a fresh approach for dealing with seemingly unsolvable questions, not as a quick fix but to deepen our sense of being fully alive. Weingarten shares her own journey and the stories of others, including a part of my own story after the events of 9/11 in New York City when I first turned to Rilke's letters, to chart a different, and better, relationship with uncertainty. Designed to inspire anyone who feels stuck, powerless, and drained, How to Fall in Love with Questions challenges us to unlock our minds and embark on the kind of self-discovery that's only possible when we feel most alive—that is, when we don't know what will happen next.

No matter where you live in the world, you heat water through some method. And some countries like Canada are ahead of even the US, much to my surprise. But the real kicker is finding out how wrong I could have been in picking my next one.  Welcome to the Just Dumb Enough Podcast. A show that acknowledges no one is always an expert, by dispelling misconceptions with real experts.  My guest today is a self proclaimed energy nerd, Larry Weingarten. We all have water heaters in our homes, and yet 99.9% of us probably know little to nothing about ours, despite the fact they can explode! Now that's rare, but it has your attention, huh? Over the interview, Larry will teach us all the things we need to know, which could help your health, energy usage, bank account, and so much more.  ( Www.LarryWeingarten.Com )  ( Www.HeatingHelp.Com )  ( https://a.co/d/9YgZNxm will take you to: Www.Amazon.Com "The Philosopher's Wrench: Using Your Creativity, Heart & Tools to Fix the World" )  ( https://a.co/d/a2ouJyD will take you to: Www.Amazon.Com "The Water Heater Workbook: A Hands-On Guide to Water Heaters" )  Let's get cool with hot water.   I don't know about all of you, but this has me rethinking a huge amount of what I would put into a dream house; if I could afford to build it. In other news... April is here, and the rankings are all over the place:  1. The United States, with Oregon, New York, and Virginia now at the front.  2. Canada, with Ontario as king.   3. Israel, which is new.  4. South Africa, almost certainly thanks to Irma bashing it last week.  5. Australia, with Queensland just leading Western Australia.  That'll probably level out next week, but still pretty cool! That's it for this week! Have a great week, a great weekend, and I'll see you all back here next week for another new episode!  Until the next episode, pretty please do all the things to help the show: rate, review, like, and subscribe.  Reach out to DumbEnoughPodcast@Gmail.Com or on any social media if you want to reach me personally.  Most importantly, Stay Dumb! 

Building an energy efficient house that is affordable! Raised on the Monterey Peninsula (California), Larry Weingarten has been self-employed most of his working life. He got his general contractor's license in 1982. Hot water has been an interest in its many forms, so Larry has been a member of the National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE) and The American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). In 1992, he and his wife completed the Water Heater Workbook. He has written articles on water heating and energy for various trade journals and has taught about these topics for PG&E, California State Parks, Affordable Comfort and others. Larry finished building an off-grid home in 2006 which was designed to be very efficient, comfortable and inexpensive. It was the 13th home to meet the '1000 Home Challenge', a competition for creating super-efficient homes. With over 50 years of dealing with man-made things and their makers, he has come to believe that self-sufficiency is an important goal to work towards. In episode 557 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out where Larry's passion for hot water came from, what he learned by building an off-grid home in 2006 which was designed to be very efficient, comfortable and inexpensive, how enlisting the powers of openness, perspective, and a quiet mind can go far in helping you fix any problem, how mentors have impacted his life, what is a good investment when fixing run-down homes, what is the difference between responding and reacting, what cats do for him, and what is the value of life. Enjoy!

We open the show with a Friday favorite, a nod to Tara Bull's Top 10 news stories the Legacy/mainstream media didn't cover this week or did a terrible job if they did. We move straight into Democrats admitting they are sending paid agitators to invade GOP town halls. It's not really news at this point. Former Representative Jamaal Bowman might be in some legal hot-water after declaring Elon Musk is a “thief” and a “Nazi.” Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) released a video claiming the elimination of the Dept. of Education means the end of public school. In fact, it is the opposite, as Donald Trump attests. However, head of the union, Randi Weingarten is busy taking gaslighting to a brand new level, telling us she wanted schools to reopen in April of 2020. To show you an example of the legal corruption that exists in the Federal government, we turn to an example the Federal Mediation & Conciliation Service. People were paid to do nearly nothing, while they expensed everything and lived like kings. That's what we are up against. An IRS member of DOGE gave an example of how much waste and bloat exists in just the area of IT. I'm fine with the Communist Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-CT) and the pro-Hamas/pro-Terrorist squad member Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) wanting to be the face and the message of the DNC. Add them to the village idiot, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) and Republicans won't have to say much by the time the mid-terms approach. It seems there is an exclusive club for judges in D.C. Most of the Trump-hating, lawfare judges are involved. So, too, is Chief Justice John Roberts. Now, what do you know about that? Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) is stoking fear, fakery and foolishness with a claim that DOGE was shutting down five field offices in Georgia. So, we do our part to correct him. On a similar note, Gov. Gavin Newsome (D-CA) declared on a podcast that he and his team never used the term “LatinX,” yet CNN called him out and played a montage of him using the phrase repeatedly. Finally, in the FAFO category, the Gov. Janet Mills (D-ME), who said she would keep men in girls' sports and would see Trump in court over it, managed to last less than three weeks. After federal funds were shut off to Maine, they have caved. Please take a moment to rate and review the show and then share the episode on social media.

(Note: This episode is from Tonight with Dr. Steve's special Tuesday livestream.)In this episode, we dive into the latest economic shifts under President Trump, from plummeting inflation rates to falling gas and egg prices—real-time data that shows Trump's impact on the economy in just six weeks. We'll break down the latest inflation stats from Truflation, how egg prices have dropped below pre-Biden levels, and the ongoing efforts to tackle soaring gas prices. Plus, we discuss the emerging tariff war with Canada and Mexico, the shift toward economic nationalism, and how Trump's policies are reshaping global trade. In the second part of this episode, I interviewed Doug Wilson, a passionate pastor and advocate for educational reform. We talk about Randi Weingarten's emotional reaction to Trump's proposal to abolish the Department of Education. As the president of the American Federation of Teachers, Weingarten has been a major advocate for progressive, "woke" policies in schools, which have contributed to a crisis in student behavior and a decline in educational standards. We explore how the woke left has infused radical ideologies into classrooms, undermining traditional values, and causing confusion among students. We also highlight the rise of parents and patriots fighting back against this agenda. Tune in as Pastor Doug Wilson offers hope and actionable solutions to reclaim education from indoctrination.

Professor Karen Weingarten joins co-hosts Whitney Terrell and V.V. Ganeshananthan to talk about a new anthology she has edited, Abortion Stories: American Literature Before Roe v. Wade. Weingarten reflects on the complicated history of abortion, the varied use of abortifacients, abortion's ties to eugenics and state control of bodies, and the rise of the anti-abortion movement. She discusses how access to abortion facilitates other kinds of resistance, and explains how the book came to include authors like Maria Sybilla Merian, Langston Hughes, Dorothy Parker, Lucille Clifton, and Eugene O'Neill alongside oral histories from formerly enslaved persons and groundbreaking politicians like Shirley Chisholm. She talks about the stories she hopes to see represented in post-Dobbs writing and reads from her foreword to the anthology.

To get ready for that date, we've brought back Jason Weingarten (@Spreadapedia) of VSiN to give us his outlook on the upcoming season of baseball. We get his reaction to the offseason moves and how he feels about the Dodgers spending money on their free agents. We get Jason's favorite future bets for this season with the offseason coming to a close. We take a quick discussion of awards futures to see if there are any longshots that have a great chance of winning. We also take a look at betting the Caribbean Series that begins today to crown the best club in the Caribbean (and Japan)!

Michael is back in studio, now with his own microphone! He went with the Rode PodMic. It sounds pretty good. Anyway, this episode is about the importance of the investigative interview. It's the carrier's "day in court," where they can defend their actions, plead their innocence, and lay the foundation for any grievances, should management decide to issue discipline. Michael and I talk about strategy, what NOT to say, and we go over your Weingarten rights.

We meant to publish this extended interview last July, but we just kept putting it off. Okay, enough procrastination jokes. Each season, we find a few conversations go way too long to fit into a regular episode of the Lunchcast, and we bring them here, to the J Term or Summer Session episodes. Given the format of the last season, we didn't have any - fortunately, this interview with Laurie Kopp Weingarten, President of One-Stop College Counseling in Marlboro, New Jersey was in the vault. During season seven, the Counselor's Choice season, she brought forward the topic and challenge of student procrastination. Enjoy this interview, currently aged about a year, about an enduring challenge for all of us.

Now that week 1 is officially in the books, we can turn our attention a bit back to baseball. Jason Weingarten (@Spreadapedia) from VSiN returns to the pod to talk about the close division races and wild card races. With 3 weeks to go, which teams do Jason think end up making the postseason? Do the Yankees or Orioles take the AL East? Will the Braves be on the outside looking in? We also talk awards with Jason. We look at the odds compared to what they were at the start of the year, and are there still bets worth making for a possible upset? Jason also gives us his week 1 takeaways and early looks at week 2 plays. We also talk about Colorado and whether the Deion experiment will last.

The AFT is dedicated to the belief that every person in America deserves the freedom to thrive, fueled by opportunity, justice and a voice in our democracy. This freedom is achieved through an economy that works for all, including the ability to form a union; great public schools and affordable higher education; healthcare as a right; retirement security; the right to vote and civil rights; a vibrant democracy; and safe, welcoming and healthy environments and communities. The AFT and its members advance these principles through community engagement, organizing, collective bargaining and political activism, and especially through members' work—we care, fight, show up and vote. Prior to her election as AFT president in 2008, Weingarten served for 11 years as president of the United Federation of Teachers, AFT Local 2, representing approximately 200,000 educators in the New York City public school system, as well as home child care providers and other workers in health, law and education. Weingarten is the recipient of many commendations; she was included in Washingtonian's 2021 Washington's Most Influential People, City & State New York's 2021 New York City Labor Power 100, and Washington Life's 2018 Power 100 list of prominent leaders, and in 2017 received the Roosevelt Institute's FDR Distinguished Public Service Award. In 2013, the New York Observer named Weingarten one of the most influential New Yorkers of the past 25 years. Weingarten has led the AFT's efforts to strengthen public education for all children and to address the crisis in the teaching profession caused by deep disinvestment and the deprofessionalization of teaching. Through the AFT's Fund Our Future campaign, AFT members and leaders throughout the country are fighting for adequate investment in public education. Parents and many others have joined the AFT's efforts to end the overuse and misuse of standardized tests, and to fix—not close—struggling schools, something Weingarten has advocated since her involvement in the creation of New York City's Chancellor's District, which dramatically improved achievement in what had been some of the city's lowest-performing schools. Weingarten has launched major efforts to place real education reform high on the nation's and her union's agendas. She created the AFT Innovation Fund, a groundbreaking initiative to support sustainable, innovative and collaborative education reform projects developed by members and their local unions. At Weingarten's direction, the AFT developed a model to transform teacher evaluations from a way of simply rating teachers to a tool for continuous improvement and feedback. This model is used to align tenure and due process, so that tenure serves as a guarantee of fairness, not of a job for life. Weingarten led an AFT committee that called for all prospective teachers to meet a high entry standard—as in medicine or law—so that they're prepared from the day they enter the classroom. Weingarten oversaw the development of the AFT's Quality Education Agenda, which advocates for reforms grounded in evidence, equity, scalability and sustainability. She promotes what she calls “solution-driven unionism”—an approach to collective bargaining and collective action that unites the interests of union members and those they serve in the pursuit of solutions that benefit students, schools and communities. Under Weingarten's leadership, the AFT continues to grow and expand its voice as a union of professionals. Nationwide, the AFT is the second-largest union of nurses and other health professionals and the largest higher education union, representing 230,000 higher education faculty, professional staff and graduate employees. Weingarten helped source millions of dollars of personal protective equipment for nurses and health professionals experiencing shortages as they served on the frontlines of the coronavirus pandemic. Weingarten is an advocate for a New Deal for Higher Education, a campaign calling for substantial federal investment in higher education that would prioritize teaching, research and student supports; provide sustainable careers with professional voice for all faculty and staff; allow all students to attend regardless of ability to pay; create academic environments free of racism and other forms of bigotry; and cancel student debt. The AFT provides our members tools and information they can use to manage their federal student loan debt, including having that debt forgiven, while advocating for solutions to the escalating cost of higher education, predatory loan practices, and terrible loan servicing that is holding people back. The AFT and a broad array of parent and community partners across the country have collaborated on events to advance a community- and educator-driven agenda for public school reform. Weingarten spearheaded the development of Share My Lesson, the United States' largest free collection of lesson plans, classroom activities, and teaching strategies and resources created by educators, for educators—all at no cost. The AFT has a long-standing partnership with First Book, which has provided 5 million free and reduced-price books to children. Weingarten and the AFT were asked to lead a partnership to transform McDowell County, W.Va., one of the poorest counties in the United States. The AFT has assembled more than 100 partners not only to improve the quality of education provided to children in the county, but to focus on jobs, transportation, recreation, housing, healthcare and social services. Weingarten believes the rural way of life is worth fighting for, and the AFT's experience in McDowell County informs the work Weingarten is advancing to help rural communities thrive—through education, healthcare and economic opportunities. The AFT supports the strategic establishment of 25,000 community schools where students and families can access tailored health services and social services in one place, and marginalized communities can have access to services and support. Weingarten views this goal as especially vital to help children, families and communities recover from the wide-ranging impacts of the coronavirus pandemic and ensuing recession. When the COVID-19 crisis hit, the AFT worked with scientists and health professionals to develop a blueprint for reopening schools. The AFT continues to advocate for the funding and necessary testing and safety protocols to ensure in-person learning is safe.  During the Trump administration, Weingarten led the AFT's efforts to oppose Trump and Betsy DeVos' fervent attempts to defund and destabilize public education and to stand up to the administration's racist policies and attacks on facts and democracy. In 2012-13, Weingarten served on an education reform commission convened by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, which made a series of recommendations to improve teaching and learning. She was appointed to the Equity and Excellence Commission, a federal advisory committee chartered by Congress to examine and make recommendations concerning the disparities in educational opportunities that give rise to the achievement gap. For 10 years, while president of the UFT, Weingarten chaired New York City's Municipal Labor Committee, an umbrella organization for the city's 100-plus public sector unions, including those representing higher education and other public service employees. As chair of the MLC, she coordinated labor negotiations and bargaining for benefits on behalf of the MLC unions' 365,000 members. From 1986 to 1998, Weingarten served as counsel to UFT President Sandra Feldman, taking a lead role in contract negotiations and enforcement, and in lawsuits in which the union fought for adequate school funding and building conditions. A teacher of history at Clara Barton High School in Brooklyn's Crown Heights neighborhood from 1991 to 1997, Weingarten helped her students win several state and national awards debating constitutional issues. Elected as the local union's assistant secretary in 1995 and as treasurer two years later, she became UFT president after Feldman became president of the AFT. Weingarten was elected to her first full term as UFT president in 1998 and was re-elected three times. Weingarten's column “What Matters Most” appears in the New York Times' Sunday Review the third Sunday of each month. You can follow her on Twitter at @rweingarten (Twitter.com/rweingarten) and on Facebook (Facebook.com/randi.weingarten.9). Weingarten holds degrees from Cornell University's School of Industrial and Labor Relations and the Cardozo School of Law. She worked as a lawyer for the Wall Street firm of Stroock & Stroock & Lavan from 1983 to 1986. She is an active member of the Democratic National Committee and numerous professional, civic and philanthropic organizations. Born in 1957 and raised in Rockland County, N.Y., Weingarten now resides in the Inwood neighborhood of New York City.
