West Coast Cookbook and Speakeasy - Smothered Benedict Wednesdays 31 Jan 24

Today’s West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy Podcast for our especially special Daily Special, Smothered Benedict Wednesdays, is now available on the Spreaker Player!​​​​​​​Starting off in the Bistro Cafe, the brief by a panel of historians on the real history of the fourteenth amendment that is before the Supreme Court, is further evidence the Court needs a professional historian, and not the amateurs there now.Then, on the rest of the menu, the Texas Supreme Court temporarily halted depositions in the whistleblower case against Attorney General Ken Paxton, hours after Trump called on the court to end the case; an Arizona lawmaker who was a “fake elector” for Trump, has introduced a bill that would allow members of the statehouse to overturn future election results that they don’t like; and, the court and other systems in Georgia’s Fulton County were hacked, but the district attorney’s office said the racketeering case against Trump is unaffected.After the break, we move to the Chef’s Table where European Union Parliament is investigating a Latvian lawmaker after allegations that she spied for Russia; and, a Thai court convicted a prominent political activist of defaming the country’s monarchy and sentenced her to a two-year suspended jail term.All that and more, on West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy with Chef de Cuisine Justice Putnam.Bon Appétit!The Netroots Radio Live Player​Keep Your Resistance Radio Beaming 24/7/365!"To those of us who believe that all of life is sacred every crumb of bread and sip of wine is a Eucharist, a remembrance, a call to awareness of holiness right where we are. I want all of the holiness of the Eucharist to spill out beyond church walls, out of the hands of priests and into the regular streets and sidewalks, into the hands of regular, grubby people like you and me, onto our tables, in our kitchens and dining rooms and backyards.”-- Shauna Niequist"Bread and Wine: A Love Letter to Life Around the Table with Recipes"Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/west-coast-cookbook-speakeasy--2802999/support.
