Topic: Janet Napolitano

A rapid-fire sequence of clips from the 2010-2012 era covers topics ranging from TSA body scanners to early climate change skepticism. The montage includes mentions of Janet Napolitano, Barack Obama, and the "poop police," reflecting the show's long-standing focus on government overreach and media narratives. The segment concludes with the "Media Assassination" theme song.

A 2010 interview clip features then-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper appearing unaware of major terror arrests in London that had occurred earlier that day. The hosts use this to illustrate a long-standing pattern of incompetence within the U.S. intelligence community. They argue that figures like Clapper and John Brennan have a history of providing misleading information.

The hosts analyze the psychological nature of power, questioning why successful men risk their careers through predatory behavior. They discuss a video of Harvey Weinstein interacting with a young woman to illustrate how "delusional" predators interpret social cues. The conversation also touches on the use of "celebrity sales guys" in the publishing industry, where good-looking representatives were used to influence female ad buyers.

The Supreme Court ruled in Janus v. AFSCME that public sector workers cannot be forced to pay union dues, citing free speech rights. The hosts argue that unions often use these dues for political donations to the Democratic Party without member consent. A similar complaint is made regarding university endowments and the ACLU, which the hosts claim have become overly partisan.

Michigan State University reached a $500 million settlement with 332 survivors of sexual abuse by Dr. Larry Nassar. The discussion focuses on how public institutions manage massive payouts and the lack of individual accountability for the officials who allowed the abuse to persist for decades.

Jane Fonda discusses "male entitlement" and her own experiences with sexual objectification in Hollywood. The hosts counter her generalization by citing a past scandal involving former DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano allegedly harassing male subordinates. They argue that predatory behavior is a "singular perverted" trait rather than a universal male entitlement.

The hosts discuss the perceived "fascist" political environment in Silicon Valley, where expressing conservative views can be socially risky. They contrast current gender politics with past reports of male humiliation under Janet Napolitano at the Department of Homeland Security.

An investigation into UC Berkeley Chancellor Nicholas Dirks revealed he misused nearly $5,000 in university funds for a personal trainer and gym membership. The audit itself cost the university over $57,000, including expensive travel for investigators. The hosts criticize the administrative bloat and lack of financial oversight in the UC system under Janet Napolitano.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders fills in for Sean Spicer at the White House briefing, drawing comparisons to Janet Napolitano in terms of vocal cadence. Meanwhile, Napolitano faces a major scandal at the University of California after an audit revealed she hid $175 million in secret funds while raising tuition. Investigators allege Napolitano's office interfered with the audit by editing confidential responses from campus officials.

University of California President Janet Napolitano faces a lawsuit alleging national origin discrimination regarding the H-1B visa program. The University is accused of replacing 97 IT employees at its San Francisco campus with lower-paid workers from India to save $30 million. This move contradicts Napolitano's previous stance as Homeland Security Secretary when she vowed to crack down on visa abuses.

Bernie Sanders proposed making public colleges tuition-free during a televised town hall, prompting a discussion on the rising costs of higher education. The hosts criticize the University of California Berkeley and President Janet Napolitano for administrative bloat and expensive new construction. Allegations are made regarding universities funneling money into political campaigns, specifically citing a million-dollar contribution to Barack Obama.

Governor Chris Christie criticizes President Obama for reducing NSA and CIA capabilities. The hosts revisit a 2009 clip where intelligence officials predicted a high likelihood of a domestic attack within six months that never materialized.

Ted Koppel recounts interviews with DHS secretaries Janet Napolitano and Jeh Johnson regarding grid security. Napolitano estimated the chance of a successful attack at 80-90%, while Johnson reportedly dismissed the concern by suggesting citizens simply keep a battery-powered radio, which Koppel finds woefully inadequate.

UC Berkeley is considering a new policy against "intolerance" that could lead to the suspension or expulsion of students for biased speech. Critics, including Senator Dianne Feinstein, support the measures, while others argue the policy betrays the legacy of the 1960s Free Speech Movement.

A discussion on the internal politics of the LGBT community highlights perceived tensions between gay men and lesbians. Reference is made to past lawsuits involving Janet Napolitano and allegations of a hostile work environment for male employees within the Department of Homeland Security.

University of California President Janet Napolitano apologized after an open microphone caught her referring to student protesters' displays as "crap" during a regents' meeting. The students were protesting a proposed 5% annual tuition increase over five years, with some stripping to their underwear to highlight "student debt." Napolitano claimed the comment was directed at the nature of the protest rather than the students themselves.

The Department of Homeland Security is described as being in disarray following the departure of Janet Napolitano. With over 200,000 employees, the agency faces significant management challenges and internal friction. FBI Director James Comey addressed these "turf battles" using a football metaphor, urging agencies to "run great routes" and focus on excellence rather than jurisdictional disputes.

The hosts discuss potential "mind control" or MKUltra angles to the Santa Barbara shooting, suggesting the event could be used to push mental health legislation and gun control. They also analyze strange black-and-white photography on Peter Rodger's website, questioning if the shooter appeared in any of the stylized, sexualized images.

The hosts question the silence of Janet Napolitano, the former DHS Secretary who now heads the University of California system, regarding the Isla Vista shootings. They note that while the incident occurred near the UCSB campus and involved students, Napolitano has not made a significant public statement.

Sworn affidavits from a sexual harassment lawsuit against Department of Homeland Security official Suzanne Barr detail lewd behavior and professional misconduct. The documents allege Barr made inappropriate comments to male employees and sent graphic messages via a colleague's Blackberry during a trip to Colombia. The hosts question why mainstream media outlets have largely ignored the graphic details of the case.
