You can hear the full one hour interview here.
Joe does not pull any punches here in defending his use of anonymous sources, the Palin induced fear which grips the people of Wasilla, and the utter dishonesty that permeates Sarah's personality.
In the second half of the interview Porcaro asks Joe to discuss the issue of babygate, and Joe does not shy away from the topic in any way. Though he still claims to be a "Trig-nostic" his focus on the issue indicates otherwise.
Now you must remember that this is a RIGHT WING radio host on the same radio station that also broadcasts programs by Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, and Mike Huckabee, yet Porcaro allows Joe to go into great detail about the pregnancy hoax without once interrupting him, which should indicate just how completely OVER Sarah Palin Alaskans are these days.
I ma certainly NOT a fan of Porcaro, but I have to admit that this was one of the best interviews I have heard Joe give thus far.
Update: For those who are having trouble hearing the entire interview, here is a better version that I found over at Progressive Alaska:
Hope he has a great big mailbox for the hate mail headed his way!

Hi Sarah, Welcome Back!
ReplyDeleteQuick Question, Wheres Trigs Birth Certificate?
hoping that the truth will be revealed soon. Bill Maher has Rachel Maddow and Andrew Sullivan scheduled for this week. Should be interesting.
ReplyDeletegreat interview
ReplyDeleteI just listened to the whole show and it was great. I'm still wondering why Joe wasn't on Bill Maher when he was the announced guest?
ReplyDeleteTHE ROGUE is an amazing book and should be read by anyone who is interested in TRUTH. Joe is obviously the real deal (rill dill in Sarahspeak), and should be supported for going where other "journalists" dared not go. Thanks for posting, Gryphen!
Thanks, Gryphen! I forgot that I wanted to listen to this last night. You saved me having to find a podcast. :) Another strong McGinniss interview. Love the way he handles himself. I was hoping one of the Palins would accept the call-in invite, but of course, wasn't holding my breath!
ReplyDeleteWow! Not what I expected. A few years ago I drove from California to Florida and listened to the AM to get a lay of the right wing land. It was nothing like this. This was great.
ReplyDeleteIt looks as though she still has the evangelicals to hit up for money. She and Franklin Graham are a match made in heaven, and it would not be a surprise to see them team up soon.
ReplyDeleteGood interview.
ReplyDeleteWow! That interviewer does NOT sound like any right wing interviewer I've ever heard before. He is (so far) actually very pleasant and reasonable and curious and respectful...very impressed (so far).
ReplyDeleteSteve Noll, one of the caller's sounds extremely deranged. He could hardly put two words together, and Sarah recommended him to a planning commission? WOW
ReplyDeleteJoe did an amazing job!! Great interview!

I think when Joe says that he is "Trignostic" is that he does not have a belief as to where the child known as "trig" came from. I think he firmly believes that he did not come from Sarah.
ReplyDeleteBette Midler joked that the well-dressed ladies at yesterday’s Central Park Conservancy lunch at the Mandarin Oriental came straight out of reality-TV central casting. “I feel we have the makings here of what could become a groundbreaking reality television series, ‘The Fund-Raisers of Central Park,’ ” Midler said, adding, “I’ll be the mean, wine-swilling blonde with the unstable husband.” She also poked fun at GOP presidential hopefuls Ron Paul, Herman Cain and Michele Bachmann -- “It’s hard to appear less credible than Sarah Palin, but I’m darned if she hasn’t done it!” Midler was honored for her work rebuilding parks through her New York Restoration Project nonprofit, including planting trees all over the city through the MillionTreesNYC initiative. The actress, who’s currently filming “Parental Guidance” in Georgia, also joked she couldn’t stay long at the lunch because, “I promised the mayor that I would run down and help him tidy up Zuccotti Park.”

Porcaro is no idiot, he smells ratings opportunity going after a conservative quitter.
ReplyDeleteLet's see all the others fall in line also too. Let's no longer reward Sarah for her bad behavior.
11:36AM -- Bill, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if they HAVE already "teamed up."
ReplyDeleteOne of Julianne Moore’s latest parts has her feeling a bit jaded.
ReplyDeleteThe actress — who is playing Sarah Palin in "Game Change," HBO’s upcoming movie about the '08 presidential race — recently told ABC News that the role has exposed her to some harsh political realities.
“In terms of the research I did on the way campaigns are conducted, you know, so much is about how do you get on the air, how to you get the most media attention, how do you make the most noise. When, in fact, what we’re all looking for is leadership,” she said. “We don’t want noise. We want people who are going to take care of us.”
Moore also said she’s “really disgusted” and “kind of ashamed” by the country’s divisive political climate. “I mean, there’s got to be an end to it,” she said. “I think everyone is really sick of it.”

ReplyDeleteSarah... you and Glen can buy it and start your own ministry.
That was quite an interview. Never heard the Wild Ride characterized so well.
ReplyDeleteI listened to it earlier today and was very surprised at the right wing radio host. I thought the interview was great. It is a pity that the liberal shows were such wusses and cancelled him.
ReplyDeleteThat "Stoll" guy sounded extremely nervous when he rang in!
Okay, so HOW exactly is she inducing this fear. Do you think she is making (or having others make for her) direct threats to people who talk about her? Threats of physical harm or financial ruin? I just don't get it. She is no longer in public office. Can she really still do that much harm to the local folks?
ReplyDeleteGlad that Joe's still out there spreading the word about the real Sarah Palin. The nuts at C$P are still dreaming she'll "get in", that the GOP will have a brokered convention and Palin will win the nomination by acclamation--you betcha! Also they're excited she's going on Greta's show tonight, some still thinking she might hint that she was just kiddin' about not runnin'. They are so delusional, at least I hope so. But anyone who's read "Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" knows that unlikelier candidates than Sarah Palin have risen to power thru the power of demogoguery. Before he rose to power, Hitler was considered a joke by much of the German populace. He seemed to be washed up, finished. Like Sarah Palin. That's why we can't ignore her, and that's why we can't ever just laugh her off.
ReplyDeleteIt keeps stopping when there's 7 minutes and 24 seconds left for me. Is this happening to anyone else?
ReplyDeleteremember this as i have said before..joe would not be talking about the palin birth hoax unless he knew it was a hoax.
ReplyDeletehe would not put his rep on the line just to find out he could be made fun of.
i tell you all again..roger ailes and EVERYONE powerful behind the scenes knows full well of the trig hoax and how bizarre palin really is.
also remember there are tons of things joe knows that for legal reasons had to be left out of the book.
palin will now grift the religious loons as she is finished in politics.
(ahem)
ReplyDeleteJoe is a liar. Everybody who's ever met the Palins LOVE them. Every single person. This is true.
People who talked to Joe are liars. Every single one of them. And anonymous sources can't be trusted.
In fact, nobody who provides anonymous information or details about the Palins can be trusted.
By the way, they are a wonderful family, universally loved by everyone who meets them, Trig lives with Sarah, and Bristol is a smart, strong girl.
See my many future posts where I will I will be providing lots more information and details about the Palins.
I wonder if people like Rush and Pocaro are now finally growing skeptical about Palin's stories. You have to ask yourself why did the GOP wash their hands of Palin so quickly? Why didn't Hannity defend her against Joe? Is this generous interview just further proof that conservatives are finally beginning to accept that she might have faked a pregnancy?
ReplyDeleteWhat did John McCain know and when did he know it?
It doesn't look good any way you slice it.
Thanks Gryphen, am listening now.. and would have missed it except for your link..
ReplyDeleteThe interview is great so far..

ReplyDeleteYou are probably correct. The half term governor and Franklin Graham would make the most vile, skanky, immoral, ignorant, money-grubbing couple of modern times.
Now THAT was a terrific interview! It was respectful, it was intelligent, there was no rhetoric thrown around, it was seriously considered...I was impressed, truly.
ReplyDeleteIf these interviewers give Joe the chance to express himself, it is truly a thing of beauty.
@birdwatcher
ReplyDeleteI think she still has her hooks into some people in public office with influence. Any employee "at will" can be let go, and I wouldn't think there are tons of job opportunities in that area especially with the state of the economy. Wasilla sounds like way too small a world for me, and people are either afraid, can't or don't want to leave family or don't have the means to move away. Listening to the stories about threats and such reminds me of watching people in scary movies that keep staying in the house of horrors instead of leaving.
Wonderful interview...on AK radio with Alaskans listening who knew some of the people they were talking about. Joe hit the highlights of the extreme religious agenda; the bullying she learned from her father; the expanse between her image and true self. I think almost every interviewer has asked him about babygate and he does a great job. As a woman, with daughters and granddaughters, who wants to see Sarah's promotion of the anti-women's right agenda stopped, I am extremely grateful. Caller Pat O'Hara was a highlight.
ReplyDeleteI think I heard Pocaro laugh after Joe pointed out that Stoll hadn't read the book and again when Joe said he was Trignostic.
Anon @ 1:29. I had the same problem. Listened to the interview twice and it cut off just while he was talking about the wild ride. Someone fill us poor unfortunates in!
ReplyDeleteSP changed her FB page from "Republican" to "conservative" recently.
ReplyDeleteThey're so over her.

What an immature baby she is!
Alaska is no longer Sarah Palins.
ReplyDeleteSarah ran a con job on Alaska as a mayor and governor. She thought she could take that show on the road but most of America saw through her and stopped her before she could do real damage to America.
Sarah can thank those idiots who sent SarahPac money, bought her books and DVD as well as attend her speeches. Sarah has at least 4 houses and several banks accounts due to the retards who sent her their last dime. Now those idiots are sitting at home wondering how they fell for her scam job.

ReplyDeleteRe: not getting the last part of the interview:
I also had the same problem. I'm using Firefox and I downloaded the entire clip to my desktop with a free Firefox downloader extension (DownloadHelper) and I was able to play the whole thing. The entire interview is very good. They didn't interrupt or spin and just let Joe present what he had observed. I came away impressed.
It kept getting cut off for me too right when Joe was talking about the wild ride. I hope I can tap into the interview some other way and hear the rest of it.
ReplyDelete@1:33 There is nothing you can tell me that would make believe they were good people. I've seen SP and her family in action. It is all on video.
ReplyDeleteGood people do not go around calling some people "real" Americans and certain parts of America "real". They don't lie over and over and over again. The lies she has told are also on paper and directly from her mouth. She did nothing for her people when they were starving and needed heat while she was gov.
Do you know who helped these people? The Alaskan bloggers told people about it & they raised money & received supplies from people all over the world. What did Sarah do? Wait for months and then show up with a plate of cookies.
I've seen the footage of Piper with Sarah on her last big vacation, oops I mean tour of America. Her daughter was unhappy and I mean unhappy.
The only child of hers that has not acted out is Trig. Contrary to your opinion this is NOT normal. Maybe one child but all of them?
There are so many things it would take a book to write everything that shows she isn't a good person (oh that's right books have been written and they sure don't show SP in a good light).
I can see that she has some people fooled and that would include you as well. If you want to let people know how wonderful and strong and close they are you are on the wrong blog.
Pretty good interview but I was never able to get to the end of it. It cut out once Joe started talking about Trig and the airlines. It's been a few hours and I can no longer get to the interview at all.
ReplyDelete???
If I get through again I'll report back.
Caught the end of the interview on Progressive Alaska. That whole thing was incredibly satisfying.

The interview abruptly cut off while Joe was explaining the craziness of Palin's "Wild Ride." Then it started back at the beginning...Joe got as far as Seattle on the wild ride when this happened, but wow! The straightforward, dry factual way he describes it really emphasizes how ludicrous Palin's story really was. No way was she in labor! And the world needs to know this. Thank you, Joe, for being brave enough to speak out about this controversial subject, on right-wing AK radio at that.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous @1:29 PM
ReplyDeleteI am on my THIRD TIME trying to get to the end of this interview. Soon after the Trig issue is announced, the feed cuts out.
I bet this interview really got someone's goat.
ReplyDeleteThis is hosted by the people who were her base.
Go ahead you opportunistic tundra turd, run as an independent. I think the floodgates to Palinland will flood open courtesy of your former base.
Ever heard the term, "Don't shit where you eat?
While we are waiting for Tri-G;s birth certificate, REMEMBER:
ReplyDeleteTrygve means "brave victory" or "trustworthy" in old Norse.
Tri-G means Trisomy G, Trisomy 21 or Down Syndrome.
Sarah, please address your alarming naming gaffe of your precious gift from god. Those of us eho really care for Tri-G children are shocked by your insensitivity to "your" son.
Gryphen, maybe you can DO SOmETHING ABout THIS or maybe not…… bur for me the audio always (3x so far) cuts out JUST when McGinniss describes Sarah's refusal to seek care other than at Mat-Su.
ReplyDeleteFor the THIRD TIME, I hear "no she does not" and then the audio cuts out.
The playback format does not allow for scanning the audio feed in any way; I have had to start from the beginning THREE TIMES already.
I COULD do so a fourth time but I know the audio will—again—cut out at the most interesting latter segment.
GRYPHEN, DO YOU HAVE A CLEAN AUDIO OF THIS ENTIRE SHOW???
That would be a great help/gift to us.
debinOH - @1:33 (ahem) is being sarcastic, hence the (ahem) in the start of the post.
ReplyDeleteI hear Bill Maher and Rachel Maddow are cowards, for pulling out on having Joe on their shows.
ReplyDeleteI ask all of you to join me in this. Feel free to take this, modify it, whatever.
ReplyDeleteDear Bio Channel,
For many years, I have enjoyed the programming offered by your channel. I loved the in depth profiles showcased on the A&E network and I was thrilled when Bio got its own channel. My family has watched many Bio programs and as a parent I like knowing there are shows which entertain and educate.
Due in part to these reasons, I am shocked to hear that Bio is featuring Bristol Palin on a new show. I do not believe Ms. Palin would have any measure of notoriety were it not for her high profile teenage pregnancy. I sympathize with young mothers having been one myself...the issue is that I would not have put myself up on such a pedestal and therefore implied others should be like me.
In this age of MTV paying teen mothers thousands of dollars to showcase pregnancies and groups of high schoolers getting pregnant "together" as if it were an after school activity, I really do not think it is appropriate to feature Bristol Palin in a reality show. Between her being paid over four hundred thousand dollars for ventures she only was part of due to her teen mother status and now being featured in a new show, why would other young ladies think anything aside from "teen pregnancy sells"?
When you factor in the incidents where Bristol has used racially or socially inappropriate language or gestures, I feel strongly that Bio should not feature Bristol Palin and I believe research on Bio's part would indicate many others feel the same way.
If Bio indeed showcases Ms. Palin in such a manner, I will no longer patronize the Biography network. I enjoy many of your programs and features, but I simply can't abide building an entire show around an individual who would not be known to the public were it not for a teenage pregnancy upon which she has already made half a million dollars.
At some point, someone needs to say "enough". I sincerely hope the Biography network will stand up and say "we made a mistake. We will not be featuring Bristol Palin as the center of any Bio program".
Most sincerely,
[my name]
Biography.com has several options you can use to send messages- facebook, feedback forum, etc.
I think I might post this on every thread that comes up for the next few days. Anyone want to wager how long it'll be before BristolBot tells me this is sooo, idk, immature???

Annoying!

Thanks for the second link!
ReplyDeletelmao, Gryphen, Palin is hilarious on Greta right now. She literally talks about how candidates shouldn't be allowed to not really answer the question in depth and pivot...and that the moderators should zero in and force detailed answers.
SHE IS THE MOST UNSELF-AWARE, HYPOCRITICAL, WITCH, EVER!!
It's unbelievable. That is all she ever did during her VP debate.
She gets to sit back and criticize and say what the candidates should do, all while she's too chickenshit to do the same.
Why does no one point out that she has no right to criticize any of the candidates, now that she has proven that she's too much of a coward to do what they have to do?
And she's talking about nitpicking and going back and forth.
ReplyDeleteDoes she not realize she's made a career out of that?
Does she not realize that she's spent almost this entire interview nitpicking the candidates? lol. She's pretending like she wouldn't do the same in debates. If she could remember all of the stuff her advisers drilled into her, that is.
She's sucking up to Newt big time. I wonder why. Maybe he knows the truth regarding Sarah's secrets.
You'er a lifesaver, Gryphen, thanks so much for this. I missed most of the first part yesterday when it was on live. Based on what I heard, it sounded like Joe was getting a fair shake.
ReplyDeleteBut hearing the whole thing today just blew me away! He was treated with the respect he deserves as an accomplished author. That Steve Noll guy sounded really scared, dazed, and confused. And Joe handled it with aplomb. His wild ride explanation was clear, concise, and spot-on.
I read his book and felt the "liberal media" failed us for the most part by either not interviewing him, or treating him like a lunatic. I'm amazed this was on an Alaskan Right Wing program that airs beck and limbaugh.
I'm just starting Paradigm Shift, while waiting for Fred's book.
What a great interview. Joe laid out the explanation of Sarah's alleged birth of Trig and why it raises so many questions in such a simple, forthright manner that is is almost impossible to dismiss it.
ReplyDeleteFor a right-wing radio host, the questions were not the least bit dismissive of the book or its author. I had to laugh at Steve Stoll calling in and saying Palin never tried to appoint him to city council. According to him, everyone else is lying, including all the Alaskan media. He really sounded nervous. Palin had to be spitting nails if she listened to that interview and was hoping for anything positive to come out. There wasn't anything about it that was a plus for her. Joe came across as reasonable with clear-cut answers and without any hesitation on his part.
Anon at 6:10---Ain't it the truth? Hypocrisy, thy name is Palin. Sarah Palin. Remember her one and only "debate" with "Can I call you Joe" Biden? She winked, did shout-outs, winked, didn't answer the moderator's questions, bragged about not answering the moderator's questions, winked, and sounded like the total fool she is. And now she's critiquing the GOP candidates, who, however despicable their stances may be, at least have the GUTS to get up there on the stage and hash it out on live TV! She's a coward.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job, Joe. My teenage daughter, who usually thinks my interest in the Plain saga/phenomenon is lame, said, "Oh my God!"
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link, Gryphen.
Birdwatcher wrote: "Okay, so HOW exactly is she inducing this fear."
ReplyDeleteSarah Palin is not the only person in Alaska and other places who bullies and induces others to do the same. People in other parts of the US (the deep south, NM, etc.) and countries where there are lots of isolated small towns, such as the bush in Australia have some of the same experiences. I do think it is worse in Alaska for the simple reason lots of them are run off from other states and end up here.
They start by spreading rumors, rolling their eyes so others can see them and telling lies about the person. Alaska can be very cliq-ish to begin with, then add the in-group and out-group mentality of the evangelical religions. The rumors cause people to think negatively about a person over time and are compounded when they come from a person of authority. People treat them differently at work, socially and in doing business with them. Here on the Kenai Peninsula this goes on within the women's shelters and the social work/mental health systems, especially the rumors. The target is left out of social activities, if they own a business less people buy from them or use their services. If they have a job people begin to sabotage them and workplace bullying may begin. Politically appointed heads of agencies can make things happen with just a phone call. Lets say their son is on probation, the governor (or agent of)calls the department of probation and encourages the P.O. to charge them with a violation so they go back to prison or does the same with a law enforcement agency or gets someone to file a false police report about them. Those appointed to protect a politician and do the bidding of those in power is probably not very good at their job, but that was not the reason they were appointed to begin with. They are selected for their lack of morals in the protection of corrupt politicians and retaliation of their enemies categories. This turns into a mobbing because they eventually can get a whole community against the person. Then when people at the state level participate people can get charged with crimes and incarcerated, get fired from their jobs due to lies, get blackballed from finding another job, etc. Even little things like not getting your PFD and then getting ignored when you complain, or applying for a hunting or fishing permit and having it sabotaged can happen. So, it is not just Sarah or Todd, they have a network of people who help them and many think bullying is justified for them due to religious wingnuttery. They ruin people's lives and can make them very ill.
Wow! That was a great interview! Thanks Joe and thanks Gryphen! Since I live in the area- that pretty much sums it up!
ReplyDeleteI listened to the entire interview with no problems at Progressive Alaska last night. You might try that.
ReplyDeleteI was extremely impressed by the whole thing. I think it may be the best so far. The host had clearly read the book, was respectful, asked pertinent questions, never interrupted and generally didn't act like we're accustomed to having rw radio hosts acting. Joe was incredible - best interview ever & his best babygate explanation to date. Bravo!
I'd be willing to bet that Steve Noll is one of Sarah's "under the bus" former supporters. She used both him & Chryson (AIP) extensively to get in the Mayor's office. His denials of all info about him were pathetic and weak. Saying he wasn't a Palinista was very revealing. He sounded like he was scared to death, he probably was knowing what the Palin's are capable of.

ReplyDeleteKeep plucking that chicken!
Hey Sarah how's that lawsuit thingy working out for ya?
ReplyDeleteI'm very disappointed in this interview..... Just kidding.... I loved it and I betcha Sarah's refrigerator has another dozen dents in it.
ReplyDeleteCelia Harrison, yes indeed bullying goes on in small towns. It is going on right now in the small town I live in and the target is a black mayor, and two other neighbors who are resisting the bully tactics. Supporters of the bullies are in cahoots with the bullies, and in positions of power.
ReplyDeleteThe spreading of false rumors and lies does start it off. It continues just as you say. One is left with a complete loss of trust, fear, and illness. Just what the bully wants.
