Iowa law limits gender identity instruction, removes books depicting sex acts from school libraries
"Iowa governor Kim Reynolds signed a bill limiting gender identity instruction. Teachers in Iowa will be banned from raising issues about sexual orientation or gender identity to students through the 6th grade. Governor Reynolds says this puts parents in the driver's seat when it comes to their children's education. The law also means the removal of all books depicting sex acts from school libraries. Religious books would be exempt. Also, school administrators would be required to notify parents if students asked to change their pronouns or names. Keenan crow with the LGBTQ equity group one Iowa says this legislation punches down on a vulnerable group of kids and it benefits no one. I'm Ed Donahue.

Amanda Gorman's poem for Biden's inauguration banned by Florida school
"A complaint from a parent is landed a poem written for President Biden's inauguration on a restricted list at a Florida elementary school. It's not clear what in the poem the hill we climb by Amanda Gorman is objectionable to a Miami Lake's parent, but daily Salinas says she doesn't favor eliminating or censoring any books, but she does want materials to be appropriate for students. Florida's governor Ron DeSantis has made headlines with his policies that promote books censorship. The nation's first national youth poet laureate then 17 year old Amanda Gorman, said her poem, which was read January 20th, 2021, was intended to be a message of hope, without ignoring the evidence of Discord and division in the country. In response to the restrictions at the school. She says she's gutted and concerned that authorities are robbing children of the chance to find their voices in literature. I'm Jackie Quinn

With all the politics and maneuvering, how is life in Florida changing for its residents?
"For many who live in Florida recent months have brought some changes. Many linked to Republican governor Ron DeSantis don't say gay regulations of books and classroom discussion, teachers, parents, and school librarians are all navigating new and uncertain ground, LGBTQ+ rights under attack, a very public spat between the state government and Disney and at the center of it all is desantis, who has emerged as a rival of former president Donald Trump and likely has his eyes set on The White House, lost in all of this are more traditional concerns, like the rising cost of living in Florida, rents are going sky high and property insurance is becoming less available and less affordable.

"Pro football Hall of Famer Jim Brown, the unstoppable running back who retired at the peak of his brilliant career to become an actor, as well as a prominent civil rights advocate during the 1960s has died.

Devin Nunes Did So Much to Debunk the Russia Hoax Five Years Ago
"You deserve great credit. Am I incorrect in saying that we learned very little from the Durham book report and most of the work was the work that you and cash did 5 years ago, repurposed with a couple citations. Devin, your thoughts. Well, look, I think that's exactly right. Back in, we knew this in 2017. I always like to say that when Mueller walked through the door with his pit bull Andrew weissmann, they knew there was no evidence of Russian collusion because they had none. They would have provided it to us already who were conducting an investigation, Charlie. And why do I say I know that? Well, they would have had every single bit of reason to give us everything they had in early 2017 right when Trump is becoming president right after he fires Comey, but why not give us all the evidence? And so, you know, we had been watching this for a long time, and we knew there was no evidence of Russian collusion. You know, even just in my experience dealing with Russia for many, many years before that. Fast forward, it took us only about 6, 8 months to put together what was called then the newness memo that we actually launched around the 1st of February 2018. And that clearly laid out everything. I think the only thing that we learned through his investigation is that it really dialed it in on just the people at the top. The only new names and maybe I'm forgetting a couple, but it was really the alphabet scam that went on from Georgia Tech joffe guy named joffe, danchenko, who was their phony Russian that was just a former brookings institution guy. And then the Clinton campaign operative Dolan. Now the worst part with all this is I think no one can understand why he wasn't able to bring a conspiracy charge. I think that's the frustrating part because against these DoJ and FBI rogue officials.

Prophetic Prediction About Trump's Presidency Shockingly Accurate
"Talking to Steven strang, the book is spirit led living in an upside down world. So I like talking to you Steven about these things because you bring a clarity, there's a lot of fuzz and smoke when we're talking about the prophetic, but so you mentioned that in 2007, Kim Clement said Donald Trump would be elected twice twice. Now, there are a lot of people like me who would say he was elected twice. He was elected in 2020, but the election was stolen. That seems to me dramatically clear on a hundred levels, but he did not serve a second term. So did Kim Clement say that he would serve two terms? Yes. And the way he said it is that God was going to raise someone up who prayed who didn't go in as a praying president, but would become a praying president. And we can only speculate what's going on with Donald Trump. And I just want to give a disclaimer. I've decided it is not my role to defend Donald Trump or anything like that. You know, I'm a journalist. I have interviewed him. I have a lot of respect for him. But part of it is, where is God in all this? Well, that's what I'm trying to say. I just interviewed somebody about Lincoln. He wrote a book called Lincoln's God, and it is clear that Lincoln became a believer in the course of his one term. There's no doubt about it that when he went in, you would have had to categorize him as a skeptic or whatever it was. But something within his term. And the person who wrote this is a Democrat, I don't know, agnostic. I don't know where he's coming from, but this is not some Christian christianization of the story of Lincoln.

Man Predicted Trump's Presidency in 2007
"Let's be clear. 2007, ladies and gentlemen, that's 10,000 years ago. 2007, Donald Trump as a political figure is not even a cloud, the size of a man's hand. We're talking about something very dramatic. Very out of the box. Beyond what anyone else was saying. So in recent years, we've had this echo chamber of profits and people are saying all this new stuff. But we have to just be clear and you document it in your book. In 2007, many people have talked about this. This figure, I didn't know anything about him. He's since passed away. He declares something that is the time sounds insane. That Donald Trump this businessman this brash thrice married New York real estate developer will be elected president to say that in 2007, that's about as far out on a limb as you can go. Well, I knew Kim personally. He moved here from South Africa in the early 90s. I got to know him back in that era. Okay. So I kind of saw his rise in the ministry, so to speak. Interesting, he died the same month that Trump was elected. And he died young, and he was sick for a while before he died. So there was no way this was fabricated. But it's just interesting that it happened. You know, there's a lot of prophetic words, but a lot of times they're not documented really, really well. Right. And sometimes things are prophesied, something bad will happen if people don't repent, and then it doesn't happen. And it's fuzzy and I got no use for that stuff. So let me say, this was delightfully clear and crisp. And there were a whole lot of Christians around 2015 picked up on this. There were others who said it as well. I used Kim Clement because it was very well documented. And it was clearer.

Frank Gaffney on Why the Court of Public Opinion Matters
"Just say the thesis of my book, which we'll talk about shortly is prosecuting this kind of misconduct. Or worse, really. It's far worse than misconduct. In court of public opinion. Yeah. Is not nothing. I think it's vitally important. I think it is a precursor to other corrective actions. Notably, you know, if the public, in fact, says, you know, this is not right. This is not America. This is not consistent with my values. Let alone the constitution of our country, then the corrective action, presumably, over time, becomes one that is adjudicated. Probably starting by throwing the bums out, getting yourself a new government that is going to live up to their oath of office to support and defend the constitution not to betray it at every turn.

Stephen Strang Is in the Studio to Talk More About His New Book
"Talk to my friend Steven strang, whom we have in the studio, Steven, welcome to the studio. Thank you. Welcome to New York. Congratulations on the book. Thank you. The book is titled spirit led living in an upside down world. Now we have talked about this on the program very recently, except not in person. And when I mention the Durham report, this corruption, corruption is a nice word for it. It is just like an inversion of everything that is good true and beautiful that is happening. And I feel like that ties into the title of your book an upside down world. I mean, we are living in a fallen world and sometimes we forget how fallen. You're absolutely right. And the crazy thing is how long it took them to come out with this. This all started when was it in 2016? And it heated up in 17 and 18. And it's just an example of how utterly ridiculous things are. And it's right at the same time as they're looking into the Biden family. So, you know, Congress. And the major news networks are ignoring the story. And when Trump, when his kids, if I remember right, they met with someone from Russia for like an hour and a half to talk, and they tried to make some crime out of it. And with the Biden family, it's example after example, after example, and it's like everybody just ignores it. Yeah.

Eric Welcomes Frank Gaffney to Discuss New Book "The Indictment"
"Daphne, welcome to the program. Congratulations, your book, which we will be talking about at length as we ought to. It's called the indictment, prosecuting the Chinese Communist Party and Friends, I didn't mention Biden by name. I want to be clear. I did not do that. Prosecuting the Chinese Communist Party and Friends for crimes against America, China, and the world. Forward by Steve Bannon, the book is the indictment, there is everything to talk about, but let's just start with the news of the day. Finally, after 40,000 years, we have the report from I can't even think of his name right now. From John Durham, the Durham report that we've been waiting for since we were kids. Here it comes out. And it corroborates what we all knew, but it carefully corroborates the truth that the Russia stuff, the FBI investigation, that this was all politically motivated that there was deep corruption there is deep corruption in the FBI in the deep state wherever you look, so I guess the question becomes, what about it? What do you, Frank Daphne, who live a little bit in this world more than I do, what do you make of this? I think it's a pretty strong indictment if I can use that expression. Is that the title of your book? The indictment is good. An indictment of the state of our rule of law. You know, of course, that if a Republican president, a Republican administration, a Republican FBI, had been involved in anything remotely like this kind of monkey business for one of a better expression or more to the point criminal misconduct. People would be walking the plank. They would be going to jail. They would be doing hard time for protracted periods.

"My book has a very particular readership. That's not to say that non south asian people don't read books like mine but i my my book sort of didn't adhere to the usual trump's that might be associated with a books that you know that's been set in india earned so in that sense that was a very particular readership. I wrote the entire book while. I was living in india for six years. Even though i wasn't thinking of reader at the time. I was writing each individual story but my stories are written for a person who's familiar to some extent with india and south asia and even south asian immigrants in the us and the issues and challenges. They deal with so i had to find my readership. I'll be honest. I had to seek out venues that a red or frequented by south asian folks south people of south asian origin in the us. That was the whole new process for me personally. Because sometimes i wasn't even aware of some of these. So i do think there's a whole thing here about when we talk about writers of color minority writers and publicists who may be not familiar with the minority readership that the book is four. I mean it's about finding your readers and that part of the journey was hard for me. It is defined the right media venues because of traditional media venues any book by an indie publisher. There's a whole lot of places that won't even touched indeed published a book right. I mean that's just not what they do. They look at the big five. So you already know you're not gonna get into some of the big name places so you are trying to find other literary venues way you can potentially have folks who might be interested in your kind of book though. Yeah i think when you're dealing with an industry that's still white including the publicist Scenery it's not easy for minority writer right so there's always been this issue for us finding our communities and being on the acquisitions and now of and talking to agent an agent of color earlier today.

Shook as i draw the have my you know independence. As far as how how i promote certain writer or talk about that books but i think i wouldn't want what happened to the pizza recently. Which is she was being dictated terms. By the publicist in about when to promote what to say how to say it. I would not want to deal. Yeah it's real. It's real annoying specifically i so but can you tell us a little bit about. How does he books podcast. How did that come about is like fubu situation for us by us. Even doing a podcast is just a lot of work. Having talked to mike second tagawa last fall. Winter days are weird right now. He broke down the amount of hours he spent per week on both of his respective podcasts. And it was basically a full-time job. While yeah i mean he's got to so i'm very much an of them well for me. I actually floated the idea of the podcast on twitter in two thousand nineteen. I think it was january. Twenty nineteen gun at that time. I don't think i'd even signed my book contract with leading toward anything.
