TRUMP & MUELLER: WILL THEY OR WON'T THEY?

We start today with Trump's announcement that he "looks forward" to giving testimony under oath to Robert Mueller. What did he say, what did he not say, and should we hold our breath?

Going right to the other end of the spectrum, @EliteSkeptiC visits the show to discuss the importance of evidence-based schooling. After that, we type filthy things into Christian search engines like a couple of twelve year-olds.

I might actually be in a swimming pool right now. Probably not, but it is possible. Fortunately this financial episode is in the bank! (See what I did there?) Investing expert, atheist activist, and cool dude Phil Ferguson is here to discuss lawsuit speculating; the Bitcoin bubble; college savings traps, and more. Patrons get an extended cut of the interview that is about 30 minutes longer. Both Phil and I (and also Hugh Laurie) will be at the 2018 American Atheists Conference in Oklahoma City (https://www.atheists.org/convention2018/). ALSO, if you act fast, you can snag a nearly free American Atheists membership that Phil will donate his own money towards: https://www.atheists.org/phil/ Check out The Phil Ferguson Show here: http://polarisfinancialplanning.com/the-phil-ferguson-show/ ============================== Subscribe to Habeas Humor on iTunes: https://itun.es/us/sms5hb.c Subscribe on Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/habeas-humor Google Play: https://play.google.com/music/listen?u=0#/ps/Ix4wxwinddfzxkzhlmgxajgkuie Email the show: HabeHumor@gmail.com Twitter: @habeashumor Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/habeashumor/ Please note that this podcast is for entertainment only and does not constitute legal advice or form an attorney-client relationship.

HH33 (A Putin Story, Part 1): Robotron Roulette (Vladimir Putin I) Nov 27, 2017

Show notes

This episode is a week and a half late, and I hope you never forgive me. Get ready to hear all about the lawsuits filed over last month's terrorist massacres in Las Vegas and New York. Also in legal news, the lack of rules about gun storage leads to hundreds of thousands of gun thefts a year... by criminals! All that and Part One of what you will hopefully find to be a compelling profile on the President - the Russian one, Vladimir Putin.

Marijuana. Cannabis. Weed. Pot. Ganja. Where is it legal in the world today? What are the policies for recreational marijuana inside the U.S., and how do the state laws reconcile with the federal Controlled Substances Act? What changes do Donald Trump and Jeff Sessions have in store? ALSO: Roy Moore has now been accused of sex crimes. What say you that we see to it he never wins a U.S. Senate seat?

HH31: Election Spectacular! Nov 02, 2017

Show notes

It's the Habeas Humor election spectacular!!! Laugh and learn about the upcoming elections for U.S. Senator from Alabama; Virginia Governor; New Jersey Governor, and more! Correction, 5:20 pm 11/2/17: Chaffetz math error on my part. He served 1/8 of his third term, not 7/8. Doh 🤦🏻‍♀️ Note: if the Chris Christie clip is not playing correctly, it is apparently an iPhone problem. It also apparently corrects itself eventually. That's about all I know! Episode links:
