Welcome everyone. Today's episode is another pretty heavy one. It's not a topic I would feel good about interrupting with a commercial.

So I want to thank Casper for supporting today's episode and allowing it to run uninterrupted once we get started here.

Casper is a sleep brand that created one perfect mattress and they sell it directly to the consumer,

getting rid of all of the extra expense of showroom markups and they pass those savings right onto their customers.

An in-house team of engineers spent thousands of hours developing the Casper and it's manufactured here in the US.

It combined springy latex and supportive memory foams for a sleep service that's got just the right sync and just the right balance.

Time magazine even named it one of the best inventions of 2015 and now that same team has developed an adaptive pillow and soft breathable sheets.

All this and it'll cost you a lot less than a showroom mattress which can often be well over $1500 but Casper mattresses start at just $500 for a twin size and only go up to $950 for a king.

Plus they offer free shipping right to your door in an impossibly small box which is it's a joy to unpack.

You'll just have to take my word for it and your purchase is risk free because you get to try it out at home for up to 100 days with the option of a painless return

for a complete refund. As a special offer you can get $50 towards any mattress purchase and support this show by visiting Casper.com slash best and using the offer code best at checkout.

And now welcome to the award winning best of a left podcast with clips today from the young Turks democracy now David Pakman show citizen radio

and go on day on YouTube.

A former Stanford University student has been convicted of rape after he was caught after a

fraternity party

thrusting into an unconscious girl behind a dumpster. Now two people saw him doing so and they stopped him and then he attempted to run away

but they held him until police showed up and arrested him. Now Brock Allen Turner has been convicted

and he has been sentenced and the reason why he's in the news today is because his sentence is insanely short.

In fact he's only been sentenced to six months in county jail and probation.

Prosecutors were hoping that he would get six years in prison but of course that didn't happen.

Now jury convicted him of multiple felonies including assault with intent to rape an intoxicated woman.
