Show Notes Episode 495: The Buck Stops ElsewherePart 2 of Iran ContraThis week Host Dave Bledsoe demands immunity from paying his bartabs only to be found in contempt by the bartender. (Again) On the show this week we take a look at the fallout from the Iran Contra Affair. (Spoiler: No one went to jail.)Along the way we discover that Dave has a dubious idea of what “truth” means. (If you are just now learning this, welcome to the show) Then we dive into why Congress has the ability to investigate things. (Campaign advertisements) Then we talk about how a plane crash in Nicaragua and a magazine in Lebanon caused the whole Iran Contra Affair to come apart at the seams. (The magazine was Highlights for Kids) We take a look at how the Reagan Administration reacted to being accused of doing all the crimes they actually did and how Congress “accidentally” made sure no one would suffer any consequences for breaking the laws.Our Sponsor this week is Shreds It All, when you need documents gone fast, call Shreds it All.  We open with the Gipper denying he did anything wrong and close with Lily Kerbey and Tom Parker who want to be clear, it wasn’t them.Show Theme: Hypnostate Prelude to Common SenseThe Show on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/whatthehellpodcast.bsky.socialThe Show on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/whatthehellpodcast/The Show on Youtube:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxP5ywpZ-O7qu_MFkLXQUQThe Show on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whatthehellwereyouthinkingpod/Our Discord Server: https://discord.gg/kHmmrjptrqOur Website: www.whatthehellpodcast.comPatreon:  https://www.patreon.com/WhatthehellpodcastThe Show Line: 347 687 9601Closing Music: https://youtu.be/_1uUtx8PgtQ?si=HfpIycMcBLB2SntJBuy Our Stuff: https://www.seltzerkings.com/shopCitations Needed:Primary Source:  Landslide: The Unmaking of the President, 1984-1988 https://www.amazon.com/Landslide-President-1984-1988-Jane-Mayer/dp/0395517575Wikipedia: Congressional Oversighthttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congressional_oversightOliver North admitted Thursday he shredded sensitive documentshttps://www.upi.com/Archives/1987/07/09/Oliver-North-admitted-Thursday-he-shredded-sensitive-documents-under/1429552801600/Understanding the Iran-Contra Affairshttps://www.brown.edu/Research/Understanding_the_Iran_Contra_Affair/iran-contra-affairs.phpHow the Iran-Contra Scandal Impacts American Politics Todayhttps://time.com/7280749/iran-contra-scandal-impacts-american-politics/Learn more about your ad choices.
