    Hello and Welcome everyone to this episode of The Wayward Dragons. This is what we will be discussing in this episode:1. The Release of the Epstein FilesCongress passed a bill to release the Epstein files.The host expresses concern that information incriminating a certain president, his supporters, or major donors will be redacted under the guise of an "ongoing investigation".They discuss the possibility of the president attempting a "Richard Nixon" strategy, where he would release the files and have a vice president (specifically mentioning JD Vance) pardon him.The hosts touch on the mention of the nickname "Bubba" in an email, noting it could refer to Bill Clinton, Ghislaine Maxwell's horse, or the son of a foreign leader, not definitively Clinton.They also note that Prince Andrew is having his name removed from various public items due to his involvement in the scandal.2. Immigration and Government ActionsThe hosts discuss the Trump administration's lawsuit against a new California law that bans federal agents (including ICE) from wearing masks and requires them to display visible identification while conducting official business. The host supports the right of the public to know who government officials are.Pope Leo the 14th is mentioned as strongly backing US bishops who criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and urged humane treatment of immigrants.A veteran FBI employee is suing the bureau after being fired for displaying a pride flag in his workspace, which the host calls a "lavender scare".Plea negotiations are underway for a Wisconsin judge accused of helping immigrants evade ICE agents.3. Marijuana and Hemp LegislationThe hosts clarify a common misconception that the recent government spending bill cracked down on recreational or medical marijuana.They state that the crackdown was specifically on hemp products such as Delta 8 and Delta 9.The hosts advocate for the full legalization of marijuana, citing its historical use (the Declaration of Independence was written on hemp) and its medical benefits for issues like migraines, cancer-related nausea, OCD, and sleep disorders.They note that Florida is taking steps to advance a proposal to legalize recreational marijuana for the 2026 ballot.4. Miscellaneous and ConclusionA Michigan woman won a $1 million lottery after a late-night food run (jokingly referred to as a "munchies" run).They discuss a UK bar called Alibi that does not allow single people to enter after 9:00 PM to prevent harassment and drama.

    Shutdown Stress & Strength: The Moon is Cheese and the Gov't is Closed

    Hello and Welcome!The News:Government Shutdown and Benefits: The main focus of the news section was the ongoing government shutdown. If a conclusion isn't reached, many people will lose food stamps and other benefits starting November 1st. Food banks will also be affected by losing funding. The Senate rejected a bill to pay federal workers.Healthcare Funding: A Californian union, the Service Employees International Union, proposed a one-time 5% tax on billionaires' net worth in the state to offset federal reductions in Medicaid funding. Supporters argue it's an obligation to help and that a small portion could also fund public schools. The federal reductions could lead to the state losing $30 billion annually and up to 3.4 million people losing coverage.Immigration and Accountability: The Governor of Illinois signed an executive order creating the Illinois Accountability Commission to investigate alleged civil rights abuses tied to federal immigration enforcement, in response to Trump's Chicago raids. The commission's core missions are to build a public record of abuses, document impacts on families, and recommend actions to prevent further harm.D.C. Protest: A man was detained by D.C. police for protesting the National Guard patrol while dressed as Darth Vader and playing the "Imperial Death March" song. Another protest incident involved a 61-year-old woman who was arrested for "lewd and inappropriate behavior" for holding a sign and wearing an inflatable penis costume.Quebec Religious Symbols Ban: Quebec's government is planning on banning religious symbols from being worn in government-subsidized daycares and child care centers. There would be a grandfather clause to exempt current employees.French Rape Law: France's Assembly Nationale approved a bill defining rape as any non-consensual sexual act. The bill was supported by a vote of 155 to 31, with only far-right lawmakers opposing. Consent is defined as "free and informed. Specific. Prior". This reform shifts the burden to the alleged offender.Golf Course on Slave Graves: The city of Tallahassee is planning to sell a golf course built on top of slave graves for $1.25 million. A condition of the sale is placing a commemorative plaque.A woman in Michigan won $100,000 in Powerball after ChatGPT helped her pick her lottery numbers.ChatGPT is reportedly changing its policies to allow the creation of "lewd or possibly offensive material" for users 18 and older, which the hosts predict will lead to a flood of AI-generated "smut books".Baker and Taylor Closure: The abrupt closure of Baker and Taylor, a major supplier for many US libraries, will cause supply and demand issues, resulting in longer hold times for library patrons.New Reading Rainbow Host: The announcement of the new host for Reading RainbowBooks:Johnny:The Ink and Sigil trilogy by Kevin Hearne. The Emaneska series by Ben Galley. The Legend of UH by Aaron N Hall.Kelsey: Dreadful by Kaitlin Rozakis. When the Moon Hits Your Eye by John Kanzaki.
