Silversteins' Show: The Podcast

There’s 26 days until the election and Trump is out here promising to pick up the tab for everyone to get the miracle Covid cocktail that seems to be keeping him alive ... but also turning his skin a darker shade of orange?

Speaking of miracle Covid drug, Regeneron - part of the Trump cocktail — was made possible by an aborted fetus’ stem cells. Can you be pro-life and anti-stem cell research BUT also celebrate the results of years of scientific work that is centered on stem cell science?

Californians want to keep stem cell research going but we don’t think Prop 14 is the solution so we say neigh to the $5.5 billion bond measure.

We also say neigh to more Trump rallies but apparently he’s excited to greet his followers at a rally on Saturday night.

Daniel Cameron said no to releasing all grand jury evidence, filing a motion countering the one filed by a member of the grand jury in the Breonna Taylor case.

We took a month off. 

 But we’re back just in time to prepare ya’ll for the election. 

Trump has COVID because SCIENCE, and it’s slowly spreading in the White House (by slowly we mean quickly, because PANDEMIC). 

Senate confirmation hearings for Amy Coney Barrett are still scheduled to proceed despite Mike Lee and Thom Tillis testing positive for the VID, but voting may not be able to take place if they don’t recover and/or if more senators catch what’s going around. 

Who will win COVID Bingo? Stay tuned to find out!

Grand Jury testimony from the Breonna Taylor case was released on Friday after a juror challenged Attorney General Daniel Cameron of misrepresenting the proceedings to the public. It’s clear that Cameron presented a case to defend the police instead of fulfilling the role of the “people’s lawyer” and demanding justice for Breonna. 

RIP Thomas Jefferson Byrd. 

This and more right here! 

And, we’re back daily and still encouraging conversation as a means for change.

This week we all collectively learned about Daniel Prude who was murdered by police in March. There was no outrage then. There still isn’t. His name will become a part of the police brutality lexicon, another black man telling us from the grave how important it is for us to have the nuanced conversation around defunding the police.

Tamir Rice should have been enough. Remember him?

Covid is still happening and a vaccine probably won’t be ready before Election Day, and Trump is STILL undermining Democracy.

Let this episode remind you of what we’ve been saying all along. Get mad and STAY mad at all of it. Change will not come from complacency.

President Trump wants you to test the system and vote TWICE! And THE ATTORNEY GENERAL, William Barr, would not answer whether or not voting twice was illegal in North Carolina. Spoiler alert: duplicate voting is illegal.

The CDC informed state health officials today that a vaccine might be available as soon as late October or early November and that they should start making plans to distribute it to the most vulnerable populations.

And Nancy Pelosi just wanted to get her hair did but ended up looking like a hypocrite on Fox News.

This and more, right here.

Trump descended on Kenosha and continued repeating untruths (also lies during an interview with Laura Ingram, but of course he did.

Of equal importance, Trump is going out of his way, it seems, to avoid speaking of or to the families of victims killed by police. He will however shout out murderers who support his campaign.

Speaking of WHO, the Trump administration is refusing to participate in the global COVID vaccine mission (COVAX), essentially refusing to attend the party because he doesn’t like some people WHO will also be there.

This and more, here, with a special appearance from a soon-to-be 1 year old.

We break down the events that occurred Saturday in Portland, Oregon. The President has thoughts on it and we are here to challenge them.

There are updates with the Breonna Taylor case. It’s slow moving but the latest could provide more context and hopefully, eventually, justice.

Covid is still happening and rent is still not being paid, but Gavinor Newsom and the CA state legislature might have some plans to help people out.

This and more right here.

First of all, RIP Chadwick Boseman, whose death comes as a surprise to all of us. His legacy lives on in his films. See the previous post for Joshua’s heartfelt thoughts on his passing. It’s a huge loss for on so many levels.

It took us 100 hours but we did it. We watched every minute of the RNC. The takeaways:

Other Non RNC news: Californians on unemployment can expect an additional $300 per week starting some time in early September and Facebook realized it fucked up for allowing a post calling for armed individuals to protect the streets of Kenosha, which may have encouraged Kyle Rittenhouse to drive to Wisconsin with a rifle.

We’re back! It was a hell of a week to be out, but we had tech issues and had to devote some major focus to the DNC.

Speaking of which, we think they did a great job. Bernie keeping his name in contention for the nomination ended up being perfect. The nominating and seconding speeches clearly explained why he would have been a great choice and hopefully the delegate counts let the Party and specifically, Biden, know that they need to be looking more left on a lot of issues.

Kanye is still running his campaign, but doing it incorrectly.

An, of course, there is Jacob Blake, another un-armed Black man severely injured at the hands of police. Let this be a reminder (although one should not be needed) that police reform is crucial and necessary for the advancement of American society. Police should not be judge, jury and executioner. There is no reason why a police office should ever sentence an individual (criminal or not) to death.

This and more right here. We missed you.

While there still hasn’t been justice for Breonna Taylor, after 18 years there may finally be justice for Jam Master Jay— Federal prosecutors have announced the indictment of 2 men responsible for the murder, which occurred in 2002.

Where there’s smoke, there’s fire and where there’s a lot of people there’s covid. UNC is switching to remote learning after in-classroom teaching resulted in at least a couple of hundred infections among students.

Doctors are reporting that more and more people are coming in for Covid treatment and bringing along medical misinformation from social media, which makes them more difficult to treat.

This and more right here.
