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

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 Second Circuit Court of Appeals decision in a case involving Martin Shkreli is now a devastating precedent against Donald Trump. Then, on the rest of the menu, Los Angeles County agreed to pay $5 million to the founder and CEO of a software company who was accused of stealing data on county poll workers in a case pushed by conspiracy theorists and election deniers; an Oregon jury awarded $85 million to nine victims of wildfires that ravaged the state in 2020; and, another lawsuit has been filed against a small-town in Mississippi by local Black residents claiming cops engaged in systemic, Jim Crow-like racial discrimination.After the break, we move to the Chef’s Table where France fined Amazon $35 million for ‘excessively intrusive’ monitoring of its warehouse staff; and, an Italian Jewish leader slammed the use of a citation of Holocaust survivor Primo Levi by a group planning an anti-Israel protest on International Holocaust Remembrance Day.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.
