"Her name is Miss Fanny Lou Hamer. I don't know about you, but I've been to the Mississippi Delta once. Mea culpa for the cliche, but I did meet some of the kindest strangers I've ever met there. If you're molded from the city suburbs like I am, the Delta will shock your sensibilities. 200 miles long, 87 miles across at its widest point and encompassing approximately 4,415,000 as you stand you are no more special than an average stock of corn. The flatland, strong enough to tango with tornadoes, will effortlessly swallow you up if you dare it to. Yet the bodies of African-American children, men, and women were forced to stretch across the Delta to domesticate the land for the profit and riches of the patriarchy. First through human exploitation of slavery and then through the economically exploitative system of sharecropping. Now sharecropping has and is practiced globally in Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America. In the United States after the Civil War sharecropping seceded slavery as a system of agricultural labor where landlords would contract with tenant farmers to lease a portion of land in exchange for a value of the crops. Under this system the tenant farmer would work the land and receive a share of the value of the crop less charges for seed, tools, tenancy, and food. The system was rife with price manipulations which indebted many sharecropper tenants from harvest to harvest. These landlords were largely the same individuals who just months and years before were the slave holders of the now tenants who were just months and years before slaves. After plantation owners were forced to sever their stronghold of human exploitation through the Civil War. It's not a difficult logic leap to understand that the new system with the same old players in the same old place wasn't going to produce a different outcome other than human exploitation. The sharecroppers were living under poor working conditions that kept them in a poverty trap. It was a rigged system but what other choice existed in the South following the Civil War? To live, to eat. Where was a Black person supposed to go? How were they supposed to survive? As compelling testimony to how life can force the hand of change in the inertia of oppression. A once child laborer on a sharecropping plantation in the Delta at the tender age of 45 became a catalyst to end the sharecropping industry's 62-year reign. Her name was Fannie Lou Hamer. She was a force for social change. All she wanted was freedom. All she wanted was to be a first-class citizen amongst equal citizenry. The best place to begin to know Ms. Fannie might be at the crescendo of her life following an 18-year period of sharecropping on a cotton plantation near Ruleville, Mississippi. In this season of her life she built a serious career as a voting rights, women's rights, civil rights activist, and community organizer during the violent era of Jim Crow which were racial segregation laws and formal and informal policies. Everyday life for Blacks in Mississippi was a sentence and perpetuity of embodied hardship and then the most extraordinary thing happened. The intention of disruption from community organizers introduced Ms. Fannie to the promise of change through democratic participation of voting. She said, they talked about how it was our right as human beings to register and vote. I never knew we could vote before. Nobody ever told us. We hadn't heard anything about registering to vote because when you see this flat land in here when the people would get out of the fields if they had a radio they'd be too tired to play it so we didn't know what was going on in the rest of the state even much less in other places. On August 31, 1962, Ms. Fannie was denied her lawful right to register to vote after failing a literacy test, a discriminatory practice adopted in many states including Connecticut, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, and South Carolina to obstruct the rights of immigrants, the poor, and those without access to education. And in southern states African American and Native Americans right to vote impeded their democratic participation in the communities they lived and worked in. Typically the tests were made up of 30 questions which had to be completed in 10 minutes. Some states focused on citizenship and laws others on logic. Okay fascinating fact the Voting Rights Act of 1965 makes the use of literacy tests as a prerequisite to voting unenforceable. Yet even today literacy tests are a part of the North Carolina constitution. In fact under house bill 44 North Carolinians will vote on November 5, 2024 about whether they will repeal this language through a constitutional amendment in a statewide general election. True story. In the mid-1960s Duke law professor William W. Van Alstine conducted an experiment in which he submitted four questions found on the Alabama voters literacy test to U.S. constitutional law professors. The professors answered the questions without the use of any reference aids just as other voters were required to do. Out of the 96 respondents who submitted answers only 30 percent were correct. In preparation for the podcast I took a previous Alabama voting literacy test. I got dizzy and gave up. Anyway I digress. Ms. Fanny's attempts to register to vote was a complete disruptor to the patriarchy. It destabilized the system locally and nationally. That's when the real trouble began. She was fired from her job of 18 years at the plantation. Extorted threatened harassed shot at and assaulted by racists. The Ku Klux Klan and members of the police while trying to register for and exercise her right to vote undeterred by the harassment of the devil. Ms. Fanny was determined to meaningfully participate in democracy and to support others in their pursuit to exercise equal rights under the law. She said if I fall I'll fall five feet four inches forward in the fight for freedom. I'm not backing off. We've been waiting all our lives and still getting killed. Still getting hung. Still getting beat to death. Now we're tired waiting. I was forced away from the plantation because I wouldn't go back and withdraw. You know my literacy test after I had tried to take it I wouldn't go back. I know lots of people in Mississippi who have lost their jobs trying to register to vote. Nobody's free until everybody's free. One day I know the struggle will change. There's got to be a change not only for Mississippi not only for the people in the United States but people all over the world. Ms. Fanny was forced to leave the plantation she supported. After Ms. Fanny was forced to leave the plantation she supported thousands of African Americans in Mississippi to become registered voters and helped hundreds of disenfranchised people in her area. Three months later when Ms. Fanny took and failed another literacy test she told the voter registrar you'll see me every 30 days until I pass and one month later on her third attempt Ms. Fanny became a registered voter in Mississippi only to discover her county required voters to have two poll tax receipts before they would be allowed to vote. After the right to vote was extended to all races through the enactment of the 15th amendment to the United States Constitution many states required a poll tax as a prerequisite to voting registration. In some states they were a part of the Jim Crow laws. Often these laws included a grandfather clause which allowed any adult male whose father or grandfather had voted in a specific year prior to the abolition of slavery to vote without paying the tax. Proof of payment of a poll tax was a prerequisite to voter registration in Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and Texas. Ms. Fanny eventually paid the poll tax and received the poll tax receipts. She captivated the nation and rose to national prominence as she testified before the credential committee at the 1964 Democratic National Convention on behalf of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party. She co-founded to stand as the official delegation from the state of Mississippi. The active disenfranchisement of black voters was a high state conflict of national significance gaining the support of Martin Luther King Jr. and rising to the attention and political gamesmanship of President Lyndon B. Johnson. Ms. Fanny's nationally televised testimony was so compelling that President Johnson attempted to silence her by strategically disrupting her speech with an impromptu press conference. Ms. Fanny's eight minute and 12 second televised testimony was interrupted because of the speech that Lyndon B. Johnson gave to 30 governors in the White House East Room. It was a speech about just about nothing, but most major news networks rebroadcast her testimony later that evening to the nation giving Ms. Fanny and her organization a lot of exposure. Okay, this is important. Section one of the 15th Amendment of the United States Constitution states, the right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. Section two gave Congress the power to enforce section one through legislation. When Ms. Fanny spoke, people listened. She told the country about the deep aches of trying to register to become first class citizens and subsequently arrested, jailed, sexually assaulted, and nearly fatally beaten by police and under police orders by cellmates. Her colleagues were jailed and beaten. She said, all this on account we want to register to become first class citizens. And if the Freedom Democratic Party is not seated now, I question America. Is this America, the land of the free and the home of the brave, where we have to sleep with our telephones off the hooks because our lives are threatened daily because we want to live as decent human beings in America? In the years that followed, Ms. Fanny went on to co-found the National Women's Political Caucus, where she emphasized the power women could hold by acting as a voting majority in the country, regardless of race or ethnicity. The people have crowned her the mother of voter registration. I want to introduce you to Ms. Fanny Willis. In the northwest quadrant of Washington D.C. is a historically black college and university, Howard University. It has been there since 1867 and since 1867 the university has churned out unforgettable and unabashed changemakers. The highest ranking female in the United States history, first black, first Asian, and first woman, Vice President Kamala Harris. Civil rights leader and the nation's first African American justice, Thurgood Marshall. American novelist and the first black American to win the Nobel Prize in literature, Toni Morrison, whose books teach freedom and confront freedom's enemies. She found language to speak truth to power in ways that arrest its readers and demand a resolution of the visceral cognitive dissonance that surface. That's why her books find themselves on so many banned school lists under a pretext of one thing or another. Polly Murray, Isabel Wilkerson, Sonia Sanchez, Emmett G. Sullivan, Paul Lawrence Dunbar, Zora Neale Hurston, Stokely Carmichael, Elijah Cummings, and so many others. But I think the most notable Howard University graduate is now Fanny Willis. She is the first female to serve as the Fulton County, Georgia District Attorney, a graduate of Emory School of Law. After serving the public as a prosecutor in the Fulton County District Attorney's Office, serving as Chief Municipal Judge in South Fulton, Georgia in 2020, she was elected to the seat of District Attorney of Fulton County, Georgia, the first woman to hold that office. Can we just have an honest dialogue here? We can't be worried about stepping on toes. I need you to listen to me. A beneficiary of the patriarchy has lost his mind. He had all the power, all the power. In plain sight, the patriarchy lost control of one of their own, who's now trying to break democracy and sell it to the highest bidder, foreign and domestic. The patriarchy homies can't figure out how to stop the derailment of outlaws off the tracks at 250 miles per hour, almost one mile for every year the United States of America has been in existence. I have read about and then watched the very system that the outlaw was created from try to rein him in. I have read about and then watched the very system that the outlaw was created from. Try to rein him in, by my count, for the past 59 years. They can't do it. They cannot figure it out. And in a fantastic unfolding of a fluid federal republic and the only country with a continuous democracy of more than 200 years, we are witnessing the courage of someone born and shaped outside of the patriarchy coming to rescue the patriarchy. Coming to the rescue of the patriarchy to protect the free world. They call this person, with the courage of conviction, District Attorney Fannie Willis. The 45th President of the United States has been criminally charged in Fulton County, Georgia, for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia. He is accused through the legal system of trying to nullify the votes of Fulton County citizens. Fascinating fact, the United States Census estimates that in 2022, 45% of the Fulton County, Georgia population was African American. The detail of the charges aren't the point here. And whether you may be persuaded of the efficacy of the charges cannot be known before the trial has occurred. The story here that we are witnessing is a collision of two opposing universal paths. I mean, can you stand to watch this without putting your fingernails, popcorn, or a fine crystal glass of dark liquor in your mouth? The history of voting in the state of Georgia is replete with voter disenfranchisement. In 1907, the governor of Georgia signed an act to amend the state constitution to impose a literacy test as a prerequisite for voting and included exemptions for white citizens to vote, even if they failed a literacy test. Grandfather Claus became a part of law in 1908, and it stated that any Union or Confederate veteran or their descendants could vote. Georgia women could not vote until 1922, and the state did not ratify women to vote under the 19th Amendment until 1970. States continued to disenfranchise citizens, particularly Black citizens, with literacy tests, poll taxes, and other voting laws or practices, until the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which was an act to enforce the 15th Amendment to the Constitution. The Constitution was passed in 1965, and the Constitution was passed in 1965. It was signed into law 95 years after the amendment was ratified. It outlawed the discriminatory voting practices adopted in many southern states after the Civil War, including literacy tests as a prerequisite to voting. It was at this point that African Americans could register and vote in large numbers. There are Georgia residents living today who were voting disenfranchised Georgia voters prior to 1965. The United States Census counts the population of Fulton County, Georgia in 2020 at 1,066,710. Now check this out. On August 7, 1971, Ms. Fannie Lou Hamer spoke at an organized peaceful student demonstration against the Vietnam War amongst a crowd of White and Black citizens. That demonstration was held at Hurt Park in downtown Atlanta, Fulton County. Just over six months after Ms. Fannie Lou Hamer's house was bombed. Incredibly. Don't miss what's happening. Don't miss this. What's happening now is that voting history has reached an apex in Fulton County, Georgia, and the 45th president attempted to resurrect voter disenfranchisement. And now district attorney Fannie is representing the voters of Fulton County, Georgia. 45% who are African Americans and protecting the hard earned right to vote. So yeah, I've got Fannie Fever. She's a mother from Southern California. Her father was a Black Panther. She lived in Washington, DC, graduated from the esteemed HBCU Howard University, and an alumna of Emory University School of Law. All things we could connect with over a good meal. But the reason I have Fannie Fever is because I am a great respecter of the magic of the universe and of God's plan unfolding. I am a great respecter of the courage that it takes for one to live up to the call of one's destiny. She is fearless because she just may have been born for this moment to stand in the gap for voters for democracy. Because her name is Fannie or Fannie. Standing for freedom. She is exactly where she needs to be in the moment she needs to be in. Doing the thing she was born to do. We're just lucky enough to have a front row seat. District Attorney Fannie Willis is standing in the gap for the long arc of justice that Martin Luther King Jr. at Washington National Cathedral spoke about when he said, we shall overcome because the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Fannie Eisenberg, Fannie Lou Hamer, and Fannie Willis. What does it look like to support courage and integrity in a showdown between those who choose to show up for courage and integrity, for freedom, and for democracy? Who will you support? Have you considered whether or not you are living up to the full potential of your name? I have Fannie Fever because through extraordinary trials, these women have carried the torch of freedom for us, for you, for our dreams of freedom. Won't you join me in honoring their journey? Won't you join me in valuing their gifts? Until next time, be well in your journey.

"Okay. Today, you need your Divorcing Patriarchy journal, preferably a pencil over a pen and a glass of water. We will be working from both an intellectual and spiritual space, and when you work from a spiritual space, it's important to drink water. You know, water is equated with healing and energy, and our bodies are composed of 55 to 60% of water. Your senses will be stretched today, so you will need to be well hydrated. All right. Let's do a review. Now, we Divine Patriarchy as a complex structure of 10 pillars of interconnected legal, social, cultural, political, and economic systems. These systems are economy and work, education, family, food or agriculture, government, health, law, marriage, military, and religion. When we refer to the Patriarchy, we're talking about this superstructure or any or all of these systems. The Patriarchy isn't a person. It's not a gender. It's a superstructure of power that organizes and operates to protect and privilege its primary beneficiaries, males. The problem with Patriarchy is a problem of inequality. The critical project of the Patriarchy is to be and to maintain absolute power. Now, both males and females can be agents, beneficiaries, males as primary beneficiaries, and females as secondary or benefactors of the Patriarchy. The existence of the Patriarchy depends on two things. One, agents or individuals willing to be in its service, and two, that there are no competing structures that threaten its dominance. Although the Patriarchy has been a dominant structure around the world, since the existence of settled agriculture, like all structures, what has been constructed can be deconstructed. Now, to divorce Patriarchy, you need to do four things. One, you need to make an informed decision to break from an identity formed from the structure of the Patriarchy. That's why we're here. We give lots and lots of information. We do our work and we work hard together to educate ourselves to be in an intellectual community to understand the logic of the Patriarchy. That will inform any decisions that you make in the future. And then there's the informing part that you have to do on your own to understand your own identity and how it was formed from the structure of the Patriarchy. The second thing you need to do is you've got to decide and actually break from being in service to the Patriarchy. The third thing is commit to a life outside the Patriarchy. Those steps will begin your journey. And lastly, just take the first step. This is the process that we're talking about when we say, divorce the Patriarchy. And we do this process to divorce each of the 10 pillars of Patriarchy. I've been obsessed lately. I'm in search of people with depth of courage and integrity. We live in a world where we're facing difficult situations in our food supplies, government, health systems, environment, our schools, homes, and our families and with our spiritual practices. Where are the people who can lead us through these thick and snarled dark matters? People with integrity and courage, you know, champions. Where are they? It's overwhelming sometimes. I consume information from lots of different sources in print, web, research, lectures, news, court cases, television, podcasts, books. I consume a lot of information on a lot of different topics. We have problems. And lately, these problems seem to be stacking and growing. And you know what I don't see a lot of? That's right, you know where I'm going with this. There's not enough depth of information about people who live with integrity and courage. My dad, one of my greatest teachers told me to look for people with integrity. He said that it's one of the most valuable qualities you can find in a person. And then he said that few people possess this quality. Well, with these problems stacking up and because we're all affected, it follows that as global citizens, we have a duty to work together to solve some of these problems. I'm obsessed. I'm in search of integrity. Who's got it? I want enough people to create a web of interconnected light filled persons with integrity rooted in courage. Shout out to Michael Beckwith for the working metaphor of an interconnected web of light. This leads me to my current thought. Is one born with integrity? Or is it nurtured? You know, nature versus nurture. I think the makings of integrity are within all of us. Integrity developed over time requires constant attention and nurturing to become deep layered and complex like a beautiful roux. We can develop our own integrity, encourage it in one another, and we can teach about integrity. But ultimately, every day, you choose who you are in the world and how you're going to show up. But in our search for integrity, we did find something uncommonly special. We found out that there are some who walk among us, destined to lead us in moments that demand great integrity and courage. Let me tell you a story. It's time to come close. A little closer. Come on in just a little closer. I want to tell you something. I know a woman. She's a metaposition who believes that your birth name is your superpower. She says it carries the encode of your spiritual DNA with information about who you are and the trajectory of your contributions to this world. Your name has an energetic charge that amplifies your character, strengths, and weaknesses. The power of your name, when invoked, conjures universal vibrations as powerful as a music chord that echoes the arc of the songs of your life journey from origin to destiny. Songs that foreshadow and songs that communicate the dynamics of your story. The precise moment you lean into your name, its meaning, its intention, and the texture of its vibrations is the precise moment that triggers magic, where you tap into your superpower to become the fullness of who you are. In that space, the fullness of who you are meets the fullness and the readiness of the universe. Many cultures around the world understand the power of a name. Parents carefully consider weigh and deliberate the choice of their newborn's name. These choices are influenced by sentiment, tradition, and spirituality. In Yoruba communities, babies are given a name describing the circumstances of their birth. In Western culture, newborns are given a first and middle name, sometimes just because it sounds pleasing, other times to carry a family name generationally forward. And when it comes to the patriarchy, names become a matter of capital. Quick cross-reference here on the social, cultural, and economic capital episode from season one. The name's become a matter of capital for its beneficiaries, a property right, a birthright, an asset as capital to buy, sell, or trade. Think of family dynasties and political and religious first families. To the patriarchy, a name, particularly the surname, is a marker that represents power and status. And that power and status is only conferred upon its primary and secondary beneficiaries. I read this really great article from The Wire called The Strange History of the Bastard in Medieval Europe. The article historically tracks the origin of the term bastard and suggests that the stigma of the term's original meaning comes not from a child being born out of wedlock, but from a child being born from a lineage lacking economic and social significance. In other words, the patriarchy assigns a person to their brand of social and legal implication through the lineage of their name. That patriarchy surname, well, it belongs to them to assign blessing or burden. But your birth name, that's a contract between you, God, and the parent or special person who God bestowed the honor upon to name you. When the heavens whisper your name, it will be in divine time. Some of you will rise to meet the moment with courage. You will accomplish great things. You are destined to bless the world right when they need it most. Magic in the making. What if you were able to observe the unfolding of magic in real time? Would you watch with wonder? What do you believe when you saw it? Can you conceive of the moment where your destiny whispers to you by name? The divine ripple effect you will create in the universe will alter the course of humanity. And we call that universal flow. To others choosing or who have chosen a life and an identity outside of the patriarchy. We owe the others a debt of gratitude for taking that magic carpet ride. Others named Fanny. The name Fanny means free one. Its French origins include the diminutive name Francis. That was grandmother's name. In Spanish, the name becomes Estefania or Stephanie, meaning crown. In Yiddish, the name is anglicized as Fego or fea meaning bird. Throughout the course of human throughout the course throughout throughout the course of human history, there is a clear evidence trail of women named Fanny who are inextricably bound to a moment in time where they fully committed themselves to showing up as an embodied force of freedom. Where freedom had been denied to all but the patriarchy. Okay, I just want to list off a few amazing women named Fanny. Fanny Brownbill was an Australian state politician and the first woman to win a seat for the Labor Party in Victoria at a time where others in power did not believe that women were suited for politics. Fanny used her political power to champion for women, children, and seniors. Fanny Hertz, a German-born British educator, was a dialogue leader and advocate on issues that advanced opportunities for women to receive an education in reading, writing, math, and needle work, rejecting the policies that single-tracked women to prepare for a life of domesticity as wives, mothers, mistresses, and servants. Fanny Allen was the first woman from New England to become a Catholic nun in the state of Vermont, demonstrating an unflinching courage to worship her God in the way she felt convicted to do so at a time in history and from a family where she had to stand on her rock alone. Then there was Fanny J. Crosby. She was an American Methodist rescue mission worker, a poet, lyricist, and composer. She was a prolific hymnist writing more than 8,000 hymns and gospel songs and became a household name by the end of the 19th century. They call her the queen of gospel songwriters. She was a strict abolitionist and was the first woman to speak in the United States Senate as she read an original poem, an advocacy for the education of the legally blind. Fanny Raoul was a French writer who challenged the patriarchy through a career of prolific, unapologetic writing. Fanny Kimball. She was an English actress, writer, and abolitionist. While staying on her husband's plantation, a slaveholder and heir to cotton, tobacco, and rice plantations in Georgia on Butler Island and St. Simon's Islands, she kept a private journal of her observations documenting the conditions of the slaves. When she spoke to her husband about her witness to the mistreatment of slaves, he threatened to deny her access to their two daughters if she published any of her observations. Well, their marriage failed and she lost custody of her children and not reunited with them until after they turned 21 years of age. During the American Civil War, she did publish those journals. Fanny Baubach was a prominent Noongar Whajuk woman who lived in Perth, Western Australia, and demonstrated an unwavering commitment to protect aboriginal land rights and resisted the British colonization of traditional Noongar lands. And then there was Fanny Carrillo. She was a leader of the women's suffrage movement in Uruguay, believing in the right of women's vote and against narratives that positioned feminism as anti-male or anti-family. The threads among, between, and through these eight global figures that span time and space form an anvil forged with the herculean strength and courage of women named Fanny and there were others. I want to talk to you about three more women with the superpower name Fanny. Fanny Eisenberg, Fanny Lou Hamer, and Fanny Willis. Miss Fanny Eisenberg or Vega Orenbuch was a Holocaust survivor born on December 3rd, 1916 in Lutz, Poland. Ten months after Miss Fanny married, she gave birth to her only daughter Josiane and in May of 1940 during the Second World War, Germany invaded and ultimately occupied Belgium. Nearly 25,000 Jews were deported from Belgium to Auschwitz, most of them murdered. Research from the United States Holocaust Museum cites that fewer than 2,000 deportees survived the Holocaust. Fanny Eisenberg was one of them. Through the Belgian resistance movement, she hid refugees in her attic and made the impossible decision to separate from her one-year-old daughter to place her into hiding so that she could have a chance to live and to be free. She wasn't permitted to know where her daughter would be or who she would be with. Following that decision, Miss Fanny and her mother were beaten by the Gestapo and taken to the Auschwitz deportation camp where she and her mother were placed in separate lines and she never saw her mother again. At Auschwitz, Miss Fanny became a part of a small group of women who encouraged each other and helped them to endure their loss, the beatings, forced labor, and other Holocaust atrocities. It was five painful years later that she was reunited with her daughter and Miss Fanny spent the remainder of her life until she was 101 years old testifying about what she witnessed during the Holocaust and teaching others to stand against hate and anti-semitism. There's another Fanny that I want to introduce you to.

"Course of human history, there is a clear evidence trail of women named Fanny who are inextricably bound to a moment in time where they fully committed themselves to showing up as an embodied force of freedom. Where freedom had been denied to all but the patriarchy. Okay, I just want to list off a few amazing women named Fanny. Fanny Brownbill was an Australian state politician and the first woman to win a seat for the Labor Party in Victoria at a time where others in power did not believe that women were suited for politics. Fanny used her political power to champion for women, children, and seniors. Fanny Hertz, a German -born British educator, was a dialogue leader and advocate on issues that advanced opportunities for women to receive an education in reading, writing, math, and needle work, rejecting the policies that single -tracked women to prepare for a life of domesticity as wives, mothers, mistresses, and servants. Fanny Allen was the first woman from New England to become a Catholic nun in the state of Vermont, demonstrating an unflinching courage to worship her God in the way she felt convicted to do so at a time in history and from a family where she had to stand on her rock alone. Then there was Fanny J. Crosby. She was an American Methodist rescue mission worker, a poet, lyricist, and composer. She was a prolific hymnist writing more than 8 ,000 hymns and gospel songs and became a household name by the end of the 19th century. They call her the queen of gospel songwriters. She was a strict abolitionist and was the first woman to speak in the United States Senate as she read an original poem, an advocacy for the education of the legally blind. Fanny Raoul was a French writer who challenged the patriarchy through a career of prolific, unapologetic writing.

"Know a woman. She's a metaposition who believes that your birth name is your superpower. She says it carries the encode of your spiritual DNA with information about who you are and the trajectory of your contributions to this world. Your name has an energetic charge that amplifies your character, strengths, and weaknesses. The power of your name, when invoked, conjures universal vibrations as powerful as a music chord that echoes the arc of the songs of your life journey from origin to destiny. Songs that foreshadow and songs that communicate the dynamics of your story. The precise moment you lean into your name, its meaning, its intention, and the texture of its vibrations is the precise moment that triggers magic, where you tap into your superpower to become the fullness of who you are. In that space, the fullness of who you are meets the fullness and the readiness of the universe. Many cultures around the world understand the power of a name. Parents carefully consider weigh and deliberate the choice of their newborn's name. These choices are influenced by sentiment, tradition, and spirituality. In Yoruba communities, babies are given a name describing the circumstances of their birth. In Western culture, newborns are given a first and middle name, sometimes just because it sounds pleasing, other times to carry a family name generationally forward. And when it comes to the patriarchy, names become a matter of capital. Quick cross -reference here on the social, cultural, and economic capital episode from season one. The name's become a matter of capital for its beneficiaries, a property right, a birthright, an asset as capital to buy, sell, or trade. Think of family dynasties and political and religious first families. To the patriarchy, a name, particularly the surname, is a marker that represents power and status. And that power and status is only conferred upon its primary and secondary beneficiaries. I read this really great article from The Wire called The Strange History of the Bastard in Medieval Europe. The article historically tracks the origin of the term bastard and suggests that the stigma of the term's original meaning comes not from a child being born out of wedlock, but from a child being born from a lineage lacking economic and social significance. In other words, the patriarchy assigns a person to their brand of social and legal implication through the lineage of their name. That patriarchy surname, well, it belongs to them to assign blessing or burden. But your birth name, that's a contract between you, God, and the parent or special person who God bestowed the honor upon to name you.

"The Patriarchy isn't a person. It's not a gender. It's a superstructure of power that organizes and operates to protect and privilege its primary beneficiaries, males. The problem with Patriarchy is a problem of inequality. The critical project of the Patriarchy is to be and to maintain absolute power. Now, both males and females can be agents, beneficiaries, males as primary beneficiaries, and females as secondary or benefactors of the Patriarchy. The existence of the Patriarchy depends on two things. One, agents or individuals willing to be in its service, and two, that there are no competing structures that threaten its dominance. Although the Patriarchy has been a dominant structure around the world, since the existence of settled agriculture, like all structures, what has been constructed can be deconstructed. Now, to divorce Patriarchy, you need to do four things. One, you need to make an informed decision to break from an identity formed from the structure of the Patriarchy. That's why we're here. We give lots and lots of information. We do our work and we work hard together to educate ourselves to be in an intellectual community to understand the logic of the Patriarchy. That will inform any decisions that you make in the future. And then there's the informing part that you have to do on your own to understand your own identity and how it was formed from the structure of the Patriarchy. The second thing you need to do is you've got to decide and actually break from being in service to the Patriarchy. The third thing is commit to a life outside the Patriarchy. Those steps will begin your journey. And lastly, just take the first step. This is the process that we're talking about when we say, divorce the Patriarchy.

Wealthy Behavior
A highlight from A Primer on Mortgage-Backed Securities
"Welcome to Wealthy Behavior, talking money and wealth with Heritage Financial, the podcast that digs into the topics, strategies and behaviors that help busy and successful people build and protect their personal wealth. I'm your host, Sammy Azuz, the president and CEO of Heritage Financial, a Boston based wealth management firm working with high net worth families across the country for longer than 25 years. Now let's talk about the wealthy behaviors that are key to a rich life. On this episode of the Wealthy Behavior podcast, we have a special guest, Ken Shinoda, portfolio manager at Double Line Capital, where he manages and co -manages several fixed income strategies, as well as overseeing the team investing in non -agency backed mortgage securities. I can think of a few people who would be better to speak with at a moment in time like this for the market, just given the sharp moves we've had in interest rates, which have impacted bonds and stocks and mortgage rates being higher than we've seen in a long time. And be sure to stick to the end as I digest this conversation with our chief investment officer, Bob Weiss, and share his key takeaways as well. I'm excited for this conversation, so welcome to Wealthy Behavior, Ken. Thanks for having me. Appreciate it. Absolutely. Could you provide our listeners maybe with a brief overview of Double Line and your role with the firm? Absolutely. Double Line is a Los Angeles based asset manager. We predominantly manage fixed income, but we also have some passive smart beta equity strategies that have done quite well. We have a commodity strategy, but I would say about 90 % of our assets are fixed income based with a heavy tilt towards securitized products, which are things like mortgage backed securities, asset backed securities, collateralized loan obligations. We have about 95 billion under management. And what is your role specifically with the firm? I know I mentioned the bio, but how would you explain that to listeners? Yeah, I am a portfolio manager across a variety of our products, especially those that are more focused on mortgage backed securities. I also have the structured products committee, which oversees the asset allocation process on our securitized focused strategies. How did you get started on this career path? How did you get to this point? I wanted to get into something real estate related coming out of school. I had a couple of interviews. I actually was interning at Trust Company West TCW, which where many of the Double Line employees came from and just happened to stumble onto this role. I never didn't come out of school thinking, hey, I want to trade mortgage backed securities. It wasn't really something that was pushed on the West Coast. I think East Coast schools are more investment banking trading focused. So, luck happens. Pretty big asset management community out in the West Coast with a pretty big presence, especially in Southern California with PIMCO, WAMCO, Capital Group out here. So there's actually a pretty big fixed income focus, at least in the Southern California area. Great. And we've talked a couple of times already about mortgage backed securities. How would you explain those to listeners or maybe people who've read the big short and have some misconceptions about what they are and how risky they could be? If you go back a long, long, long time ago before we created the government sponsored entities, Fannie, Freddie and Jeannie Mae mortgages, if you went to a bank to get a mortgage, it was always going to be floating rate, a digestible rate mortgage because the banks didn't want to take on such a long duration risk. And what happened was Fannie and Freddie and Jeannie Mae were put into place to try to get the cost of debt down for Americans to buy homes and a goal to increase home ownership or help more people get into homes. And they introduced the 30 year fixed rate mortgage and then they would package up those mortgages eventually and create bonds backed by these mortgages. So you can basically buy a bond that's government guaranteed, that's whose cash flows come from these mortgage backed securities. And so instead of taking on credit risk, what you're really taking on is prepayment risk. If rates go down, borrowers have the ability to refinance without any cost really. And if rates go higher, then the refinancing activity slows down. So you have this kind of like uncertainty of how long your investment is. Is it a one year bond or is it a 10 year bond? It all depends on the prepayments through time. So instead of sitting around and worrying about credit risk and default risk, you're really sitting around and worrying about the direction of rates and what that means for refinancing activity. And so the direction of rates is a great place to go. You've been doing this for a while. How would you characterize the investment environment, the interest rate environment that we're in right now? Well, it's been the worst interest rate environment that I've seen from a sharp movement and rates higher. I mean, we've been in a bond bear market now for three years, the 10 year yield on a closing basis. The low was in August of 2020. Intraday, we were a little bit lower in March during kind of the fiasco when the shutdown started. And we've reached new highs in August across the curve really. So it's been a really tough market. Part of it's been driven by the Fed with their reaction to high inflation. And we've seen a pretty dramatic increase in short term rates and the long end has fallen. And we have a little rally as there was hopes and glimmers of a soft landing and data rolling over. But what we have now is the soft landing narrative is still there, but the data's coming in better than expected. So I think a couple of prints, the GDP print came in strong, you had services coming strong, you had some jobs that are still coming in strong. And so the whole curve has kind of shifted back up with the market now thinking the Fed may still have more to do. And if they don't have more than one hike, they're at least going to keep rates higher for longer. And if the economy is strong, then why should long term rates be so low? Maybe they should normalize up towards, let's say, four and a half, five percent on the 10 year. So that's kind of what's happened, I think over the last 30 days is the narrative has shifted from kind of this expectations of growth rolling over to, you know, perhaps growth is better than expected. And now the market's just waiting and watching for more data to come in to guide them. So you're not to put words in your mouth, but maybe you're more in the camp then that the higher rates that we've been seeing is a good sign for the economy versus a bad sign for the economy? I think in the near term, it's a good sign. It means that the data is coming in positively. The data is backwards looking, though. So I think inevitably the lags will kick in and higher rates will start hurting certain pockets of the market. You know, the what's happened is so many high quality companies locked in such low cost of debt and so many Americans locked in such low cost of mortgage rates. Right. Three, three and a half percent, you know, maybe a year or two years ago that it's just taking long for the transmission mechanism of higher rates to come to the economy. We just have way more fixed debt than than we used to. Europe is a place where the transmission mechanism is perhaps working faster because more of their lending to companies is floating rate at banks. So the places where we're going to see the pain and we're already seeing pain now are pockets that are more floating rate. So commercial real estate is a good example. A lot of floating rate debt there. You're talking about people that borrowed it like, two percent, three years ago, and now they got to roll their debt at like seven percent. Right. It's going to create issues. Bank loans, bank loans float and the cost of debt is effectively double. The average spread on the bank loan index going back 10 years is about 500. And short term rates are now 500 basis points. So these companies went from borrowing at five percent to now having to pay 10 percent. It doesn't happen overnight. It takes time. Those are those lags that everyone talks about. And I think that they'll still come through eventually. And it's probably going to happen sometime in the fourth quarter or first quarter next year. So right now, the move higher in rates, I think it's in reaction to the positive economic data that we're seeing. But I still think it's an attractive entry point. If you haven't owned long treasuries or assets that have interest rate risk, it's been a good thing for you. So congratulations. But now it's probably one of the cheapest parts of the market. I mean, you want to buy assets when people are pricing in all the bad things. There's not much downside left. When I think about treasuries, that's kind of how it feels right now. Like everything bad that could happen is happening or has happened. Right. The Fed is hiking. Inflation was high. Foreign buying is very low. Economic data surprisingly upside. So it's kind of like all the bad news seems to be in. Last week was interesting because you had that services PMI come in stronger than expected. It will jump up. I think it went from like 52 to 54 or something. If it's north of 50, it's expansionary. And the economy in the US is very service oriented. And off that news, the bond market didn't really move much. It's already kind of at these high levels. I think you would have expected another move higher in rates on that news, but it kind of just settled in. So the big headwind right now is the supply. There's just a ton of treasury supply coming. But if you get any data surprise to the downside come kind of Q4 or maybe Q1 of 2024, I think that could ignite a pretty strong rally in rates. So the thing to worry about is really, does growth stay stronger than expected? We grow our way out of this, right? Yeah, absolutely. So would you agree that the Fed is much more influential in determining short term rates and the market is much more influential in determining like 10 year yields? Yeah, I agree with that. I think that's accurate. So maybe back it up and help our listeners understand what makes the 10 year yield move in either direction? What does it mean when it's moving up or when it's moving down? Yeah, I mean, there's different ways to models that have come out from different participants to like estimate what the fair value for the 10 year should be. One of them is what is the neutral rate of interest that's neither accommodative or restrictive? The R star. And that's, I think, the first layer. So let's just throw a number out and say that's like 2%, right? Then sometimes people say, well, then you need to layer in what long run inflation will be over that 10 year horizon. So let's call that, that's another 2 % or so core CPI gets back down to that level. And then some term premium, maybe that's 50 basis points. So that would get you to like a 4 .5 % 10 year treasury yield. You're getting the neutral rate plus some premium for inflation over 10 years plus some term premium. And you could argue over the term premium, maybe it's supposed to be 50, maybe it's supposed to be a hundred. If you think it's going to be a hundred, then you should think 10 years going to 5%. Now on the flip side, there's buying from pensions and there's buying from money managers and other institutions that kind of can drive the fair value below that four and a half number we just came up with, things like QE, right? That's why we got to such low levels is that the buying outside of those that are just looking at that fair value coming in, maybe it's lack of supply, maybe it's foreign buying and so on and so forth. So part of it's driven by kind of expectations of inflation through time. And then part of it's just driven by the supply and demand of bonds that are out there. And that can be, things like QE can affect that, right? So that first 2 % that you called, I was picturing in my head is almost like the neutral rate. What determines that? What would cause that to be higher or lower? Or is that just fairly static across time in that assumption or that model? That's the big debate upon the context right now is, are we in a new world of higher inflation where the neutral rate would need to be higher? Whereas if you go back to like the last 20 years pre -COVID, let's call it when we were in this like world of secular stagnation, where there was arguments that maybe that neutral rates is much lower since we're living in a world of lower growth, lower inflation, so on and so forth. So depending on how things shake out and what the future looks like, maybe that neutral rates higher. What are some things that could make inflation and growth stay higher? There's like the three D's I call it. It's like demographics, right? We've had a smaller workforce every year going back the last 10 years because the baby boomers are retiring. We also stopped immigration pretty aggressively too. So demographics are part of it. You got defense spending, right? Governments are definitely spending more on defense and that could be inflationary, expansionary. We've got spending on decarbonization, right? There's going to be trillions of dollars spent on decarbonization. There's infrastructure spending that needs to happen in the US. There's all these sources of potential growth that are coming that in theory could keep growth higher, inflation higher. And this is not a bad thing for the economy, but it just means that rates will probably have to be higher. And so I guess the real truth will be shown is after we kind of get through the next 12 to 24 months, soft landing, no landing, hard landing, whatever, what comes next? And are these long -term forces that are potentially pushing through into the economy going to keep growth and inflation higher in the future? Got it. So pivoting to mortgage backed securities, what are you seeing in the mortgage backed securities market now? Yeah, mortgages look the most interesting they have in almost 10 years. If you look at the spread on current coupon mortgage backed securities, which are the bonds that are being manufactured today by the loans being made today. So these are like seven and a half coupon loans get packaged into six and a half coupon bonds. The spread on them somewhere call between it like 165 to 175 and relative to corporate spreads, which are almost a hundred or a hundred ish, maybe a little bit wide of that.
The Dan Bongino Show
Georgia Judge Shuts Down Effort to Try Trump & Co-Defendants Together
"It's not easy, I'm going to take the easy way out and give you a little bit of a sweetheart plea deal. We'll see. But there was another issue that happened, two issues actually, that happened legally speaking in the course of the last 12 hours or so. You had one rejection of a shady tactic by the Fulton County DA go down. I mean, you got 876 more of them to dismiss. But at this point, the good news for Donald Trump and others is that the request by the DA, Fannie Willis, out in Fulton County, Georgia, she where attempted to try all, how many people have been indicted, 12 million people because they breathed a error in a state while using the system to challenge results the way that they're allowed to do. She took them all at the same time, which was never, ever, ever, ever, ever, plus 12 more evers times times pie ever going to happen. And that she brought it up suggests that she's an even bigger clown than any of us ever realized. And I think most people probably saw when she made her announcement a few weeks ago in that late night conference, we saw incompetence behind that podium. But now, I think everyone can say, Yeah, no, we thought it was kind of weird. She wanted to try everybody at the same time thinking that was that even feasible. We thought that that was weird. I guess it was because the judge Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McCaffie said, Nah, not going to do it. He's quoted as saying in his decision. The court joins the skepticism expressed by several federal courts that denying severance always ensures efficiency, especially in mega trials such as this. Now, what does this mean? Other than the obvious of not everyone's going to be tried at the same time? Well, it means Trump is not going to be in a courtroom
Discussions of Truth
A highlight from AZ Congressional candidate, Jeff Zink exposes J6 truth
"So, Alright, that's James Hetfield's Seek & Destroy Metallica, I believe that's from 1985, something like that, around there. I've been opening up with that for a few years now, that's more for me than for you, but Metallica has not given me official permission. I use it anyway, and I have sent them one of my Discussions of Truth hats. Folks, Ian Trottier here, I've been doing my podcast now since 2016, I started it in Miami Beach because of the Zika virus and because, well, frankly, the mainstream media is not giving you the truth. Very basic and frank as that, they are meant to divide you politically, and in that division they will conquer you, and that is the deep state, not the mainstream media, those that control the mainstream media, otherwise known as the deep state. And democracy has been under attack for many, many decades, it has now reared its very disgusting head, as the 2020 election was taken blatantly from the majority of the people in the United States to land, which the United States of America occupies. So, what we have here are some pretty interesting things going on nationally. We have now a former president of the United States jailed, he's out on bond in Fulton County, Georgia. Why? Because there was no crime committed. His crime is and was in 19 of them, 19 others, or 19 of them total, I'm not sure what it is, but his group of folks, lawyers, et al., had supposedly committed a crime according to, was it Fannie Willis, who's a daughter of a black panther. Folks, I'm from California, and it just so happens that I was born in Oakland, California. I believe that's where the black panther started, and no, I'm not black, I am a white man, and today I am the enemy, aren't I? I am the enemy. Well, that is the white man, is the enemy. If you listen to some of my previous podcasts, I'd tell you exactly who my research shows is the deep state, and no, the deep state does not conceive in the United States of America. This is a European entity, otherwise known as, well, if you start with the Knights of Malta, then yes, you'll be heading down the right road. That is the deep state, and they want to destroy all your religious freedoms. They want to destroy your freedom of speech. They want to destroy your freedom of press, and they're doing a really good job of it. So, anyway, California here nor there, I'm just drawing a parallel. Fannie Willis is saying that if you, basically, from my understanding, I haven't read any of the indictments, but if you essentially question the federal election process, which is greatly tainted on a technological era or a technological format with many, many glitches in its systems and various systems, if you question that, you are committing a crime, which is basically what this woman is saying to the American people and certainly to a former president of the United States who can't go anywhere without drawing, what, more than 50 ,000 people? Yet, the guy that's in office right now can hardly even stand up and draw five people. Okay, I'm exaggerating a little bit. He gets more like five people, but it's pretty blatant who the American people elected in 2020.
The Financial Guys
A highlight from Political Opportunism with Forgiato Blow
"So, I think when people start to see that the everyday things that are happening to Donald Trump too, being so powerful, so happy to go through this, they're able to relate to him. Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests and my fellow citizens, America's comeback starts right now. Welcome back to Financial Guys Podcast and the Financial Guys Media Network. Mike Speraza in with another exclusive interview today. I am excited about this one. Forgiato Blow is joining us, a conservative rapper. He is the intro music to our podcast. That is his song, Trump Saved the USA. Love that song. Love that that's part of our podcast. Now, Forgiato, thanks for joining us. Hey, thanks for having me and thanks for liking that song. Absolutely. That one hit the charts pretty good. I know you've had a few others recently. Can you tell us a little bit about yourself and some of those songs that are climbing the charts on iTunes and all of the streaming platforms? Yeah, definitely, Mike. So I've been doing pro -Trump music since 2016. I feel like people like to go outside, people like to wave their flags, like to have an anthem to what's going on. So pretty much I'm making a soundtrack here to the Donald Trump saving America election here in 2024 is coming back. But I mean, I just like to make the music. It's pretty much I'm doing the same thing that news analysts are doing. I'm just rapping it. I'm giving it to the culture different. I'm hitting a different generation with it, I think. And I think that's really important because as you're seeing here, you know, we need to bring the party together. We need to bring youth to middle aged people, to retirees, right? We need to bring everybody together. I think we're learning. Let's start with Donald Trump for a second. I think we're learning that we have some serious issues. And I don't know if there's anybody else that can handle this and deal with it like the former president can. I think we need him back in 2024. I don't think Ron DeSantis is an answer, I don't think Vivek Ramaswami is the answer. I think there's surely one answer to 2024 and that is Donald Trump. Well, we all know Donald Trump's been the answer since day one. He brings America together, right? Only the media shows some type of light on him that real people don't have. I go to all these rallies, I'd be outside, there's not that much hate for Donald Trump as, you know, the media tries to show it or the paid protesters or agitators that show up to these events. I was outside the Fulton County, you know, jailhouse and I would say there was 500 supporters to 200 media and then maybe two or three people that were just agitators. Let's talk about that because I wanted to get into what happened this past week. On Thursday, he obviously turned himself into authorities because he had to by Friday. What were your thoughts about that whole indictment? I mean, there's now things coming out that Fannie Willis herself has protested elections before. You know, Stacey Abrams is from that state. She protested her election 35 times in comments and media appearances and whatnot. What were your thoughts about the whole Hollywood show that that was? Well, first of all, we should hire Fannie Willis for the Trump campaign as a sponsor or some type of promoter because she's made a lot of money for Donald Trump. I think he's made over $7 .1 million since that mugshot hit. Donald Trump's strong, right? You've got to have thick blood in this game, so I don't think he's fazed by none of this. He flew in, he came in like a boss. It'd be embarrassing for some people, but I'm glad that everybody's embracing it and making it a good thing or putting them on t -shirts. Everybody's supporting Donald Trump with it, but Fannie, I think this was just her trying to get some attention, right? I think it's going to backfire on her. I think she ended up getting sued and losing a lot over this, but if we're going to talk about questioning elections, people have been doing it their whole life. I mean, Hillary Clinton, they questioned the 2016 election nonstop. I think all the way until Trump got back over there, got the election stolen in 2020, but they were still talking about it. Well, and here's my thing. You mentioned hiring her for the campaign. Great idea, actually, because I've been saying this, the left as a whole, not just her, right? The guy, Alvin Bragg in New York, who's in my backyard, Jack Smith, the media, they don't understand. I don't know when they will get it. At some point you have to understand the more you do this, the stronger he gets and the stronger his following gets. When will they learn that and what will it take? Will it take him winning another election? I mean, when will they learn their lesson? They got to stop doing this stuff that's only making them stronger. This might be far -fetched, what I'm about to say here, but they could be, you know, sacrificial lambs. Maybe these people don't even want to do this to Donald Trump and this is being forced to them by the Democrat Party and Joe Biden and them saying, hey, Trump's not stopping. We need him to get hit with this. You need to do this. And they're forcing these people to do that. You never know what's really going on behind the scenes. They're about to come back out with this new mandate. You know, COVID's coming back. They have a lot of crazy things about to happen. I think by September 1 we're supposed to be back locked down again and they're bringing back mask mandates. So I just urge everybody not to fall for it. But I mean, who knows? You never know. It's like the whole thing with my songs like Target and these other companies that came out with their agenda. You don't know. It's like they could be the only one that doesn't do it. Then they still get ridiculed from the left for not doing it. So it's just a tough spot. A lot of companies and a lot of people in America are put in. But, you know, I believe in just staying in tow, staying down to what you believe in. If you stand with Trump, if you're against, you know, sexualizing children, just be against it. It's not something bad to be against out here.

The thing about Karen Bass, just a couple of years ago, she was talking about how great it is that Los Angeles is a sanctuary city. So this continues to be the political own goal of the decade. Well, Biden said COVID shots are coming back, like it or not. People want someone they know can already do the job. President Trump has done the job. We have the best economy of my lifetime. Everyone was doing better. The border was secure. And now, in the ReliefFactor .com studios, sitting in for Mike today, here's Kevin McCulloch. It is an honor to be back for my good friend, Mike Gallagher, a colleague here at the Salem Radio Network, and also someone who cares very much about what is happening to our country. Kevin McCulloch is my name. You can find me on the Salem News Channel and many of the same radio stations on Saturday nights at 9 o 'clock Eastern with that Kevin show. If you're local in the New York area, you can listen to me on AM 570 each weekday afternoon at 3 o 'clock, AM 970 the answer each weeknight at 7. And we have a lot of fun. My handle across all social media at that Kevin show. Please be in touch with me. I love to interact on the top stories of the day. We've got a lot to get to this morning. Yesterday, one of the judges in the federal trials that is the former president is going to face in upcoming months set the trial date for March 4th. This is in the special case against President Trump that Jack Smith is bringing the U .S. District Judge for the District Tanya Chutkin. Remember that name? It will live in infamy. She's rejected a proposal by the Trump defense team that the trial began in April of twenty twenty six long after the election. She instead set the date far closer to the one proposed by Smith and the government who wanted it on January 2nd. And if you happen to be a criminal attorney, please dial me eight hundred six five five Mike eight hundred six five five six four five three. I'd love to have some validation on this, but one of the one of the broadcasts I do here in New York for AM 970 the answer focuses on litigative issues every Thursday night. And we just talk legal stuff. I'm not a lawyer. I'm fascinated by the law. I think that lawyers that that proves a faithful service to their clients and to the government are are valuable people in our society. But I think it's interesting to see this chess match being played to the public in a way as though lawyers wouldn't know what was really going on here. So let me kind of break it down for you. You had the indictment and the the perp walk and the cuffing and the fingerprinting and all the stuff that they wanted to do to try to embarrass forty five. They had their moment in the in the sun to do that. And then they come back and they say, oh, we're we're going to go to trial quickly. We're going to put you on trial on the second of January. And Jack Smith said, Judge, you've got to put them on trial on the second of January. And the Trump team said, no, we're going to ask for twenty twenty six. And the judge comes back and says, no, no, no, no, we can't give you that much time to prepare. We're going to make sure that you're ready for trial by March the fourth. Now, of all the dates and all the calendars in all the world, March 4th is the day that she just happened to land on. I'm just I'm just looking at this calendar and I'm just seeing of all the choices and options that I have here. And you know what? I'm going to go with March the fourth for no reason whatsoever. Except that March 5th happens to be Super Tuesday. And there's however many states, twelve, fifteen, sixteen states in it. I forget the number. It's one of the most important days of the election calendar. This judge, Tonya Chutkin and and the prosecutor in the in the in the Georgia case are both embarrassing themselves. Fannie Willis and Tonya Chutkin are both embarrassing themselves because their behavior begets kindergartners on day one of preschool. Like it's they're not even in the in the class yet. And they're already like goofing around. Here's what happens between now and March 4th of next year. The Trump team will do a number of things in all of these cases, but they're going to they're going to be filing mainly, especially in the in the state cases for a couple of things. They're going to want those cases moved out of the Georgia state realm and they're going to want to put them into the federal realm because the federal system will be one that's easier to to manage and to and to kind of go through. But beyond that, there are a boatload of motions that will be being entered into the record between now and then that they are going to do everything from filing a motion to dismiss to filing an extension for discovery. And let me just let me just tell you on this on this alleged interference in the 2020 federal case that Jack Smith is doing out of D .C. It's my understanding that there are more than 12 million documents. That will be entered into the evidence, and this Tonya Chutkin joke, this this judge, this this joke of a judge laughed yesterday when told by the Trump team that for proper discovery to be allowed, there's no human way that they could sit and read 12 million pages between now and March 4th. And she just kind of giggled like, ha ha ha. Well, you've already you already know a bunch of the stuff that's in there. Ha ha ha. Friends. We talked about this yesterday. The left is trying to systematically dismantle America and they're starting to let the evil be seen. Right. That was my theme yesterday on the show. We talked about it for three hours. This is another example of that. There's there's this kind of open knowledge that this judge is dismissing. The normal procedures that what would be accustomed to any other criminal defendant, they're not going to allow President Trump. Why aren't they going to give him the same rights and the same protections that they would give a serial killer or a gang banger or anyone else? They're going to have to. And if the judge continues this kind of embarrassing behavior, chuckling at the people that are involved, chuckling at the requests that are made. She's there's a there's a there's a circuit court that oversees this court. And those judges have authoritative roles that they play over the over the sitting judge. That's that's in the court. That is Tonya Chuck him. And if they don't want to be embarrassed, if they don't want to have their circuit embarrassed, they will advise their underling to comport herself differently. But I just find it amazing that we're supposed to buy all of this. This is this is the great lie. They sit here and they pull this stuff and they and they set these unrealistic dates. And by the way, I'm going on the record. They would not have made a January 2nd start date. They're not going to make a March 4th start date. You had it is law. His he has a right to an informed defense. He has he has a right to have his defense know every piece of evidence that's going to be introduced as it's introduced before it's introduced. If the if the prosecution has had twelve point eight million documents in their possession and the defense is just receiving and being made aware of what they're going to introduce. They have to have time legally to not only understand what every document says, but they have to process it and comprehend the implication of what that document has to do with within the case. And then they have to have the right to prepare proper defense of those facts. This isn't a kangaroo court. We're not in a kangaroo nation. There are still laws. And I know these Obama judicial appointees and the Biden administration and the Justice Department all think it's hilarious. What's going to be hilarious is when they get their teeth slapped back at them by their their their upper judges and maybe eventually the Supreme Court, because they're such lunatics with how they're proceeding at current pace. Eight hundred six, five, five, Mike, eight hundred six, five, five, six, four, five, three. Take your calls right now. Eight hundred six, five, five, Mike, eight hundred six, five, five, six, four, five, three. Do you think that Trump will be in court on March 4th, the day before Super Tuesday next year? By the way, some of his fellow Republicans think that he will be. Chris Christie, the shameful, shameful behavior of Chris Christie in recent days coming right back. It's the Mike Gallagher show. Don't go away. Left leaning activists are attacking Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Read The People's Justice Clarence Thomas and the constitutional stories that define him on sale now from Regnery Publishing. You know.

I need to know from my Broadway Maven friend Mike Gallagher how many productions of West Side Story have you seen? I think I've seen three and I'm just a pretender in terms of consumers of the compliment. That sounds like an absolute slur. No, no, no. Is that a slur? No, a maven is somebody who is immersed in something, an expert in something, somebody who is well versed in something. Broadway aficionado or as they say in Maryland affectionado. Great, great. Well, last night was a big night. Sit tight, sit tight, sit tight. I do everything for a reason. First answer the question. It's Leonard Bernstein's 120th birthday. I don't know. Close, close. How many times have you seen West Side Story? A few, a lot. It's probably either that or Man of La Mancha or I don't know what is my favorite but it is indeed Leonard Bernstein's birthday born this date 1918. There's a movie about him coming up in November with Bradley Cooper as Leonard Bernstein. A lot of drama about that controversy. Tell us why. Do you know why? Yeah, well he has a prosthetic nose apparently to try to recreate what Leonard Bernstein looked like. He had a big schnoz. He had a honker on him and Bradley Cooper doesn't so they did that but now all of a sudden it's Jew face which is just uncomfortable to say. It's like blackface where somebody white plays somebody black. It's like Broadway maven. No, it's not like that at all. So that's a stupid controversy. Bernstein's own family said we love Bradley Cooper. We love the movie. It'll come out. Now let's talk about the real life drama. The floor is yours, political maven Mike Gallagher. Let's talk drama. You know I love talking about swapping stories. So let me tell you a story. Let me first stipulate. I've got such a splendid team. I've got a team. I was thinking last night, Derek, Eric, Tracy, Adam, these are can -do people. They spring into action. You've got them there in Dallas. You've got Rhonda and of course all your great people around you, Gordon and Matt and everybody. We love to be surrounded by positive can -do people. So last night I get off the plane from Tampa. I'm in Atlanta. It's about 190 degrees here and I say to Derek, Derek, I gotta really hustle. I gotta drop my bags off. Give me the address of where the action is. Tell me where to go because I'm not sure, you know, the Fulton County system where he goes, got it, got it. And Derek goes fast. Sometimes when you go fast, you miss some key details. So he gives me the street address. Now I show up at the courthouse. It's a row of TV trucks. I'm thinking good. I'm in the right place. Look at all these TV trucks. But there are no people. So I'm now walking. Now bear in mind, I'm not kidding you. It is 100 degrees. I'm not exaggerating. It's literally 100 here and the humidity is about 200%. I'm schlepping around, schlepping around the courthouse and I can't find anybody. Finally I see a TV reporter and cameraman. I say, can you tell me where the protesters are? Oh yeah. Yeah. They're two blocks over. Cause I want to interview some people. I want to enter. I'm there to get the action, right? Of course. Of course. And I see a hundred TV trucks. It's gotta be, so I go to us two blocks over. So I go over and there's like a handful of like young people and they're like black and white kids. And I go into the crowd and I said, do you mind, Hey, I'm Mike from Salem radio network. You mind doing some interviews? Oh sure. Sure. I'm glad you're here. We'll talk. And they say, Hey, how are, why are you? They start talking about the police state and the, the, the, the, the authoritarians of the police department. I'm thinking, Oh gosh, I got a bunch of young pro Trumpers talking about the weapons, the weaponization of law enforcement. So then I bring it back to Trump and they look at me and they cock their heads and they say, Trump, I'm like, I said, finally the third kid I interview. And I started to notice there's a, I started to see, well, there's a rainbow flag over in the and background there's a black lives matter flag. This is a strange, this is a pro strange pro Trump group. I said, you're here for Trump. He said, Trump, we're here for Johnny. I said, who the heck is Johnny? Johnny is apparently somebody who was killed by the police. It's one of those police shooting protests. I get on the phone to Derek. I said, Derek, where are the peers? He goes, Oh, are you at the jail? I said, no, I'm at the courthouse. He said, Oh, you're in the wrong place. So now I said, please tell me the jail is a block away from here. It's just cause you're schvitzing like nobody's business. Try 25 minutes away. Try 20. Now, meanwhile, Trattup is, Tom Trattup is texting me saying, you better get there. He's landing. He's at the airport. Trump's on his way. I'm like, now I'm, now I'm running now. By now they've closed the highways because you see for a motorcade, that's one of the dog on his motorcades I've ever seen him. Well, but I want to talk about that with you in just a moment. Because he's just an ordinary prisoner, right? Exactly. Yeah. Just another prisoner. But now I can't get there because the roads are all closed for the motorcade. Cause I've been, you know, hanging out with black lives matter protesters, you know, giving them business cards and show materials. Let's go Donald Trump. And they're looking at me like I'm out of my mind. And then they're nice kids. I mean, they're just upset about a police shooting. Listen, let's put it this way. Let's stipulate Edward R. Murrow in the trenches covering the battle of the bulge. I ain't, I mean me walking around in a hundred degree weather trying to, so finally I get to within about two miles of the jail, the Uber driver Mustafa, who's already annoyed about the traffic. He drops me off two miles from the jail. And as CJ, the great engineer here in Atlanta put it, the jail is in the hood. The jail is in, I'm now walking, well, I'm in the hood walking the whitest guy in America and people are offering me drugs. I've got it. I had a discount on some crack. They're friendly people in Georgia. They're trying to do business with this, you know, white guy walking through the hood, clearly trying to find protesters. So it was unbelievable. And I'm not kidding you. It was, I will put it this way. Let me put this in a very dangerous neighborhood. Okay. And I am walking and I'm walking and I'm cursing and I'm saying I'm going to do things to Derek that third world countries do. I could not believe the position I was in. Anyway, long story short, I finally get there. As it turns out, when I got there, what comes pulling out of the Fulton County jail? The Trump motorcade. So I got video of the motorcade. I saw, you know, the whole procedure. I interviewed a bunch of people, white, black, pro -Trump, anti -Trump, and it all turned out, you know, fine. But it was interesting to talk to all the angry Atlantans who came out to witness this spectacle and they can't believe that their city is front and center in this disgraceful act of the prosecution of Donald Trump. You know, Biden yesterday celebrating the arrest as a great day to donate to his campaign. Did you see that vicious Nicole Wallace at MSNBC? Did you see what she did? Stifling a laugh. She's laughing about the fact that Trump was booked in a jail where two people had died. She thought that was funny. I mean, you know, the great Jesse Waters dressing down Jessica Tarloff calling her out for being giddy about the arrest. It's Christmas in August. It's Christmas in August for them. And as Jesse put it to the liberal on that, this is no time to celebrate. This is beneath you to celebrate, but they do celebrate this because it isn't serious. It isn't legitimate. I mean, this is brutal, just brutal. And, you know, I'm just trying to make sense of it all, Mark, with you and me, and we're trying to understand the enormity of it all. We're trying to survive this. And I will tell you that for people who live in Atlanta, who came in the brave, the heat to stand out there and wave a Trump flag or wave an American flag. I met a guy from South Dakota, incidentally, who came here in a truck convoy from South Dakota and a great. And incidentally, the guy was like, I can't believe I'm talking to you about two years ago. I was yelling at you on the radio when you was out driving and he was the nicest guy. We had such a great visit and we just commiserated about how low we've sunk. Historians are going to look back at this day and say, what were they doing? What did they do? Do you think they will? Well, I won't give you my speech on historians again. Historian is like a constitutional scholar. It's a law. I'm pretty serious, too. It is a lost profession. Historians are political hacks. If Trump does prevail in this, and especially if he is elected and wins, the historians who seem to be working today and dominating today will say that America missed an opportunity to heap accountability onto an evil leader who is elected by the enthralled cult worshiping masses. That's what today's brand of historian will say. I pray to God historians pull their heads out and realize what is happening. Well, I saw Jonathan Turley when I got back to the hotel and I put the cold compresses on my forehead and I got the smelling salts and I sat in the cold tub for two hours to try to recover. Again, a war correspondent I ain't. Jonathan Turley said something last night to Sean Hannity. It's a quick paragraph. I want to read this to you. He says, this is a law professor. And oh, and by the way, speaking of social media, Trump's back on Twitter. Back on Twitter. Eighty six million followers. How many likes? I wonder how many? How many views? I'll look while you share the quote. Go ahead. The quote is this is Jonathan Turley's exact words. This is criminalizing the challenge of elections. You have a Democrat prosecutor saying, how dare you challenge a Democrat victory? That's it. And it's been done before by Democrats, including this one. Red State found all these instances of Fannie Willis questioning the outcome of elections. She's done it before. You have a Democrat prosecutor saying, how dare you challenge a Democrat victory? The case is based on the theory that Trump was it was challenging this election illegally was pointed out. This is the eleven thousand. I need to find eleven thousand votes. The way the way she portrayed that phone call. These are Jonathan Turley's words, Mark. The way she portrayed that phone call is evidence of the bias and unfairness of aspects of this indictment. And to the left and to the Trump haters, this is the whole indictment. I need how many? Eleven thousand. Eleven thousand. Jonathan Turley said it makes perfect sense when you're challenging an election to say, I only need eleven thousand photos or votes. That's not a lot in Georgia. That's not criminal. That's making a case for a recount. Especially when the number is especially when everybody woke up and found that things had changed crazily overnight in a number of states. And there were votes that were being counted that maybe shouldn't have something were being not counted that maybe should have. So, OK, in that fog of uncertainty, find me eleven thousand legal actual real votes. And let's see what we can do here. There's nothing illegal about that. There's nothing criminal about that. And that's their whole case.

Donald Trump has once again made history on Thursday as the first former sitting president to submit to a mugshot. He turned himself in at an Atlanta jail where he faces criminal charges related to trying to overturn his 2020 election defeat in Georgia. When the former president arrived at the Fulton County jail, he was fingerprinted and required to take a booking photo. Unlike in other cities that did not require Mr. Trump to say cheese for the mugshot, Fulton County officials were adamant about treating Mr. Trump like any other defendant. Kudos to those guys, man. I got to say that. Here on Convo Over Cigars, I'm your host, Derrick Andre Flemming. Trump was on the ground in the ATL for about an hour. The bulk of that time was spent at Fulton County jail. Following his arrest, he told reporters this was a sad day for America. It sounded like a broken record. Every time Trump's being interviewed, he says that. This is a sad day for America. He said he believed the 2020 presidential election was rigged and stolen and also a travesty of justice. Fulton County District Attorney Fannie Willis set a deadline of noon for everyone that was indicted last week in the election subversion case to turn themselves in. Bond for our Rudy Giuliani was set at $150 ,000. That is second only to Trump's $200 ,000. I got to take my hat off to Fannie Willis. I really do because here's an African -American woman. She puts me in the mind frame of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. This is an African -American woman who is not showing any type of preferential treatment. I thought it was astounding that she requested that Mr. Trump take a mugshot. You know, Florida, all these other places, New York, they were like, hey, we give Donald Trump. This is Donald Trump we're talking about. He doesn't have to be subjected to a mugshot. This is a very high profile person. But let's just be clear, a mugshot is basically photographic evidence that authorities use. That's protocol for pretty much any defendant. So why should Donald Trump be any exception? So I'm taking my hat off to this woman, obviously the YSL case, the very high profile case with Young Thug and Gunna and those guys. I think she is trying to set a precedent in Fulton County. You can do anything you want to do in these other places, but if you come to Fulton County with that nonsense, I'm going after you. I'm a prosecuting attorney that's going to go after you. And she is holding Trump and Giuliani and his cohorts, all these people, she is holding these people accountable. Now, Trump is 77 years old. He is the first U .S. former sitting president to face criminal charges. This is actually the fourth criminal case against Trump since March. Now in the state of Georgia, this case, he faces 13 felony counts, including racketeering. You guys have been locked into another edition of Convo Over Cigars. I'm your host, Derrick Andre Flemming on a Thursday night. Take care, guys.

I have the benefit of getting a great deal of attention for what's been done to me. I have tremendous experience in this area, and I've been through far worse than this. There are a lot of people going through it for the first time, and it's terrible. But it's almost impossible to describe if you were brought up like a normal American. I wake up mornings thinking I'm not in America. I wake up mornings thinking I'm in what used to be described as the Soviet Union or East Berlin or maybe even Nazi Germany. The idea that people can be charged based on politics, even if you just posit the following. Right now, we have under indictment based on the indictments of four different Democrat district attorneys, all very questionable different attorneys. The strongest and most powerful candidate of the opposition party for president, who was the prior president. Now, that never happened in America before because we're a democracy and a country of laws. It does happen in communist countries, fascist countries, Nazi countries and totalitarian states. If that doesn't frighten the hell out of us, nothing will. So, Rudy, walk us through, I mean, you in a different time, you were one of the top prosecutors on the planet going after actual RICO cases, actual gangsters. And for doing nothing wrong now, they are coming after you for the same sort of similar charge that you once prosecuted. They don't know RICO if it hit him across the face. No, they don't. I mean, they've made unbelievable errors. I wish that the professor who wrote this, Professor Blakey, could be here because I think he'd give him an F minus. You know, missing from the RICO case is the extortion. People say, well, is it organized crime? And actually, it's crime by a very large organization over a very long period of time that has at the core of it very serious extortion. For example, if Trump had called the AG and said, get me 11000 votes, which, by the way, the president meant out of the 200000 that you and I know was stolen. And I know that for a fact, because that AG had sitting in his desk a report that he was hiding that virtually says that. Now, nobody tells you that, but it came out eight months, eight months later with a John Solomon request. FOIA But in any event, it would have to have been magic words there, words like, if you don't do it, I'm going to break your legs. If you don't do it, I'm going to shoot your wife. Those are the cases I prosecuted, not cases where people are persuading, people are debating, people are even arguing. We're all entitled to do that because of the First Amendment. What we're not entitled to do is to threaten harm and we're actually entitled to threaten harm as long as we don't have the means to carry it out. But we didn't even get to that stage. So this is a ridiculous RICO case. It's a ridiculous case to start with. And the worst part of it is it's a frontal attack on the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. It will deter other people from contesting elections that may very well have been stolen from them. And the only way they're going to find out is to go to court and aggressively argue their position. And this is in order to ensure a single party state. That's exactly right, Mr. Mayor. So I need to ask you, do you think that part of the reason they went so wide on the RICO is to try to get you to turn against Donald Trump in a multilevel kind of gangster type indictment? Do you think that's what they're trying to do here, Mr. Mayor? Yeah, I mean, they could get me to turn on Donald Trump and Donald Trump would turn out to be innocent. I mean, people say to me, are you going to cooperate? I'm happy to cooperate. I don't know a single damn thing that suggested Donald Trump committed a crime. You want me to tell you what happened? I'd be happy to tell you what happened. And look, I've already, Charlie, gone through my house being raided, my iCloud account taken for three years and spied on. And the day they took my iCloud account was the first day that I represented Donald Trump. And the day they gave it up was the day that I stopped representing him. So they took it in order to spy on Donald Trump. And then about eight months ago, they wrote a letter to the grand jury after costing me three or four million dollars in my law practice that there's no evidence over 20 years that I committed a crime. And then this Fannie Willis comes up with this garbage in Atlanta, which is me being a lawyer as well as Professor Eastman and the others. We were acting as lawyers. I mean, you used to think you got some protection for that. But Donald Trump has no First Amendment rights. Donald Trump has no right to counsel. I mean, they raided my law office. When I was a prosecutor, which I did a lot better than they ever did, I never raided a lawyer's office. Yeah, and I had lawyers representing the mafia, terrorists, Nazis. I had a lot better reason to do it than in an election dispute. So this is an assault on our Constitution. No one is exaggerating. And the president certainly isn't. When he says to people, it is very likely this administration continues. This can happen to you. So, Rudy, you're going to have to defend yourself. And in this particular venue, how can people help you with your legal fees and the costs associated with that? I'll get for you the exact place. But we have a legal defense fund, which they can help out with. It'll allow us not only to defend ourselves, but to become more aggressive and to go after them and try to get the information that they have. Because the strange thing is, Charlie, the crimes being committed here are being committed by them. I mean, this is Chapter 7. This is Chapter 7 in a book that begins with a Russian collusion. So that book has a conclusion, right? That conclusion is Democrats lying, Trump, Giuliani, Republicans telling the truth. And then there's another book, Improper Conversation with Ukrainian President Leading to Impeachment. That has a conclusion also. Democrats lying, particularly shifty -shift, Trump, Giuliani, Republicans telling the truth. Then we got the hard drive for which, if you go back and pick out the last debate, you see Biden accusing us, the president and I, of being Russian pawned. In fact, he calls me specifically, Rudy Giuliani, a Russian pawn. Well, that ends up 16 months later with Democrats and Biden lying, Trump, Giuliani and Republicans telling the truth. Now, I go on and on. There's no reason to believe that these aren't going to end up the same way. The sides didn't change here. I mean, the lifetime criminals, the Biden crime family didn't all of a sudden change and become honest. Believe me. If you could get that link or whatever for us so that we could promote it. I'll get the link for you. OK. Yeah. I just want to reiterate here on The Charlie Kirk Show, we are proud to be a place of political asylum. If you're under attack, you're going through a crisis and you're a good person. You are welcome on this program. Most of the Vichy French media run away. Oh, we don't want Rudy. We don't want that's not what we do here. One of the reasons why the left is taking over the country is we turn our back on our own far too easily. We're here to change that. Rudy Giuliani has done great service to this country and he is welcome anytime.
Dennis Prager Podcasts
A highlight from Trump v. the Others
"We get it. You're busy. You don't have time to waste on the mainstream media. That's why Salem News Channel is here. We have hosts worth watching, actually discussing the topics that matter. Andrew Wilkow, the next D 'Souza, Brandon Tatum, and more. Open debate and free speech you won't find anywhere else. We're not like the other guys. We're Salem News Channel. Watch any time on any screen for free 24 -7 at snc .tv and on local now channel 525. at preggertopia .com I'm not going to say that George Strait automatically means that I'm here, but it's a good signal. Mark Davis in for Dennis. A certain Texas twang coming from George, if not from me, but a certain Texas flavor when I am here and it is always a joy to be here. Mark Davis from 660 AM, the answer where I am the happy morning host. And boy, was I happy to be here this morning. Happy being a relative term. It was demanding for everybody because I'm here in central time talking to the West Coast crew out there in Pragerland where everybody was working really late between radio and the Salem News Channel. Just fantastic coverage last night, post debate, all kinds of opinions flying thick and fast. So I'm just really enormously pleased to be here in one of my frequent fill -ins. It's always a joy to be here for Dennis. And you can follow me on Twitter or X or Guacamole or whatever they're calling that thing these days, at Mark Davis, M -A -R -K Davis. And the best way to get ahold of us, of course, is the phone lines that are used in the show every day. 1 -8 -Praeger -776, 1 -8 -Praeger -776. Again, I'm Mark Davis here in the big bustling DFW. And wherever you are, I have some things I need to know from you. You ready? And what I'm gonna do is put some of it in question form. Most of my obvious offering is to get your thoughts and ask the blanket question. What did you think of the two big things that you could see last night? One of them was the debate on a stage in Milwaukee. And the other one was seen by perhaps 10 times more people. I mean, are we at 200 million? At some point, everyone in America, if not around the world, will have seen Trump on Tucker. And we'll talk a little bit about whether it was smart for Trump to do Tucker instead of the debate. It certainly wasn't dumb, it certainly didn't hurt him. Because after all, as we've learned by now, nothing hurts him, at least not yet. And by the way, every candidate on the stage last night, every candidate on the stage last night, dreams of having a bump, having a boost like Trump will get today from another arraignment. This time under the aggressive thumb of Fannie Willis in Fulton County in Atlanta, Georgia. He will turn himself in at some point and you will then almost be able to palpably sense the fundraising boost, the poll boost. Here is the truth of the Trump poll numbers. There's something we know, but there's something numerical we don't know. Again, one eight Prager 776, one eight Prager 776. Talk about Trump's decision not to be on that debate stage. And then we'll talk about everybody that was on that debate stage. Cuz it was a fascinating night for Vivek, a so -so night for DeSantis. A really good night for Tim Scott, a surprisingly, momentarily at least interesting night for Mike Pence. Nikki Haley did great, but did she get enough Mike time? Chris Christie, that New Jersey bully boy thing, that just gets really old, really fast. And Doug Burgum and Asa Hutchinson were there as well, which is about the old, I got nothing bad to say about these guys. I've got nothing bad to say about these guys. Hutchinson was an okay governor of Arkansas, really needs to be awakened on some of the gender clarity necessities. Doug Burgum seems like a wonderful guy, and what a tough nut, keyword nut. Who plays basketball the night before a debate? Who does something that has even a remote injury risk? My colleague Mike Gallagher and I were talking, and he said, if I'm on the debate stage the following day, I'm putting myself in lockdown. I'm gonna be in bed, in some type of pneumatic bubble. Nothing will get to me, but so that I don't rip open my Achilles tendon. Which he did, so he had to crutch himself onto the stage. And I don't wanna be cynical enough to say that this strikes me as debate theater and that it was faked. I don't believe that, I don't wanna be that guy, I don't wanna be that cynical, but I will be this judgmental. How dumb is it to do something the night before a debate that can hurt you? So of course, I know driving on the highway can hurt you and da, da, da, da. So I have all kinds of hot takes on how I think everybody did. I'm gonna frame it in terms of what I expected versus how they did. And then we'll talk about what I expected from Trump on Tucker. I expected it to be stratospherically good, and it was. So we have specific Trump on Tucker observations, and we have specific debate participation observations. And it all takes place against this glorious, fascinating backdrop of late August, 2024. Here we are, we are still September, October, November. So we're still four and a half months before anybody votes for anything. Change is still possible, but how plausible is it? How many times have you heard people say, yeah, in this particular year, by this point, Newt Gingrich was in the lead? Yeah, in this particular year, Rudy Giuliani was in the lead. Well, guess what was not going on when Newt, obviously, neither gentleman ever became president or ever will, it seems, for multiple reasons. There was no Trump, nobody had a 50 point lead. It was just wide open, it was five or six or eight or 10 or 14 or 17 people all running now. Trump is the alpha dog, the king of the hill. There is nothing that has dented his support yet. I will tell you the one thing, I wouldn't even say might, I'd say the only thing that can, the only thing that can, and I'll do that here in a second. In fact, probably got to get to that first. 18 Prager 776, 18 Prager 776. And again, my name, Mark Davis, follow me on Twitter, X, whatever you want to call it. I can't say X, it's Twitter to me, I don't know, I'm an old fart, what can I say? At Mark Davis, and I'll take a look at those during the break. But the best way to get ahold of us, of course, with your thoughts, 776. 18 Prager Okay, I do have a fresh column in the Fort Worth Star Telegram, I'm proud to write for the Star Telegram and the McClatchy newspaper chain and Newsweek and Town Hall, but the thing I did an immediate, I pretty well do mean immediate, turnaround reaction column for was the Star Telegram. So if you go to star -telegram .com and look at opinions, find me, Mark Davis, there is my column that talks about how Vivek and Pence and Tim Scott helped themselves. I mean, the only people who did, but they did. But the enduring question, the enduring question is, can anybody catch Trump? Is that even possible? So if we start with the premise that they say anything is possible, not anything, okay? Asa Hutchinson, Doug Burgum, or Will Hurd winning the nomination is as close to not possible as the English language permits, okay? But let's just say that in these turbulent times, where almost everything seems volatile, it was volatility that kind of lofted Trump in 2016. There were a lot of frustrations, there he was, he seemed anti -establishment, he caught the wind of that in the sales of so many Americans. The timing was just, it was perfect for Trump. Now, eight years, next month, wow, he and Melania came down the golden escalator at Trump Tower. In a way, it seems like yesterday, in a way, it seems like 100 years ago. But anyway, everybody knows him now. And the love for him and hatred of him are both baked in so solid, so two things are true at the same time. With Trump as the nominee, you're going to get two things, guaranteed two things. The love for him and the devotion to him and the desire to flip a huge middle finger to the establishment that now pursues and persecutes him, that will be on fire with energy. The other thing that's gonna be on fire with energy, every Democrat, Biden could be actually dead and on the ticket, and Democrats will crawl on broken glass and walk through fire to deliver another loss to Trump. So that will be in furious force. So which of those forces, which of those phenomena is greater? I don't know, and neither do you. Are there risks to making Trump your nominee? There sure are. But are there risks that a whole lot of people seem totally willing to take? Yes, indeedy. So what is the one thing that might erode Trump support? And I'm not saying it will, but it's the only thing that can. I'll tell you next, and take your calls next, 1 -8 Prager 776. Mark Davison for Dennis. The Dennis Prager Show. Gold dealers are a dime a dozen. They're everywhere. What sets these companies apart, and whom can you really trust? This is Dennis Prager for AmFed Coin and Bullion, my choice for buying precious metals. When you buy precious metals, it's imperative that you buy from a trustworthy and transparent dealer that protects your best interests. So many companies use gimmicks to take advantage of inexperienced gold and silver buyers. Be cautious of brokers offering free gold and silver, or brokers that want to sell you overpriced collectible coins, claiming they appreciate more than gold and silver. What about hidden commissions and huge markups? Nick Grovitch and his team at AmFed always have your back. I trust this man, that's why I mentioned him by name. Nick's been in this industry over 42 years, and he's proud of providing transparency and fair pricing to build trusted relationships.

So, whether you are watching, or listening, or both, we appreciate it. Mark Davison for Dennis here on Debate Night. I was gonna say morning after, depending on your time zone, the day after, what do we think? I'm gonna take some calls here and sort of intermingle my specific thoughts about how each candidate did. And of course, you know what the short part is, how Trump did with Tucker? Simply superb. It was just vintage Trump for 47 minutes and it was awesome. It was just a reminder of how great he is and why everybody wants him back, or nearly everybody wants him back. I will tell you, not to be a curmudgeon about this, but I still think he should have been on the debate stage. I totally understand his logic. Why should I? They're 50 points behind me. I don't need to show up for this. I totally get it. He's right about that. It did not hurt him to not be there, but it was a missed opportunity. There are millions of people for whom the last 10 times they heard Trump talk, it was all about Jack Smith, and Fannie Willis, and Alvin Bragg, and this persecution, and that lawsuit, and this vendetta, and that witch hunt, all of which is true. But it can be fatiguing to some folks who are not a junkie for this. And this would have been an opportunity for Trump with a bunch of rivals, and a bunch of pretenders to be sure, and a bunch of people at 0 .5%, and I know, I know, I know, I know, I know. But it would have been him talking about borders. It would have been him talking about crime. It would have been him talking about climate, which by the way, he did with Tucker, but he could have done that too. Not to get greedy, but why not do the debate and then sit down with Tucker tonight? Wouldn't that have worked? So yeah, but it was a statement. I understand it was a statement. It was a positioning statement that says, I don't even need to be on that stage as they all run for who's going to be the last person left when there are two candidates left standing. That is, by the way, what last night's debate was about. It's what the entire campaign is about for everybody not named Trump. At some point in the spring, there'll be two candidates left. One of them will be named Donald Trump, and the other one will not. And everybody wants to be that other person. And forever it looked obvious that it was going to be DeSantis. It doesn't look that way so much right now. Now it could really be the vague. Will that sustain? Is this kind of a flash in the summer pan? I don't know. Your thoughts are welcome. 18 Prager 776. As I get ready to go to the phones, here's the thing. Everybody, I get asked this all the time. Is there anything that could change the calculus? Anything where Trump just doesn't have that 50 point lead anymore? Because while we're talking math, here's what's undeniably true. Trump can win the nomination, can breeze to the nomination without poaching one single supporter from anybody on that stage last night. Obviously, he could do it tomorrow. DeSantis, just to pick somebody or the vague, let's go with DeSantis for the moment. He needs to poach half of the Trump poll numbers. He's got to go get half of those people. Half of the people saying we want Trump, half of the 50 some percent, if not more, who say we want Trump, who say that now in August, have to stop saying that by the time people are really voting in Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina, and Nevada, etc, etc. So what is the one way that happens? And this is a half court shot, maybe a full court shot. And that is that some of the poll emotions right now, some of it, most of it is we want this guy to be president. We loved him then, we love him now, we want this guy to be president. You know, the usual earth logic that people use in expressing support for a candidate. But some of it, and it'll have to be a lot of it. And I don't know that it is. But certain x percentage of it has to be folks who may or may not require Trump to be their next president. But they are furious at what's being done to him. It is a show of support. I mean, why do you think the poll numbers will go up after he is arraigned today in Atlanta? Is it because a bunch of people will just look at issues around America and decide, oh, he is my guy? Some may, but most of the poll bursts and the fundraising bursts that happen after each continuing litany of indictments is people saying, oh, hell no. It's what I call the Jason Whitlock effect. Jason Whitlock is the wonderful broadcaster, blogger, who was on the Tucker one, I think might have been after the first indictment or the second one, I lose track. Jason Whitlock was on with Tucker when Tucker was on Fox and said, I don't even know what I think about Trump. I'm halfway with him, halfway not. I like some of what he does, some of it not. I don't know. But tonight I'm hardcore MAGA. Tucker, tonight I am hardcore MAGA, Jason Whitlock said. And it was as a statement of revulsion at what was being done to him. Now, if that's a bunch of Trump support, cuz here it is in one nutshell. By the time we get to, we go through Christmas, we go through the holidays, everybody digests their holiday meals. And then we all get rolling in January of 2024. And millions of Republicans go, whoa, okay, now it's what's always been serious. But now it's time, time with a capital T. It's not about whether we don't like Jack Smith or whether we think 2020 was rigged or whether we're just not about anything else. Other than it's about one thing, one thing, who beats Biden? Who gives us the best chance of beating Biden? And if the similar numbers of people who think so today think that that's Trump, and by the way, it may well be, then nothing will change. All these campaigns, all the DeSantis's, all the Viv Hanks, all the everybody's, I don't wanna say it'll be for naught, but it will not bear fruit. It will not bear fruit. If, however, and it's funny because right now we got the sort of the fresh angst, the renewed emotion and determination of what will happen after Trump is dragged before yet another tribunal for yet another non -crime. And we can talk about this some today if you want. There's really only one thing out of every single one of these stupid persecution prosecutions, all these indictments, all these things. Really, they only got him on one thing. There's one thing that he just really should have done differently. And that's the handling of those stupid documents. Give back the stupid documents. If you do that, then that's not even a problem. But all this election related stuff is insane. He thinks he got screwed. And guess what? So do I. Guess what? So do most of you. We don't get to believe that. And if we're him, we don't get to act on that and make phone calls and secure meeting space and tweet to somebody to watch a TV show, all of which has been criminalized by these lunatic prosecutors. But in January of 2024, it's not gonna be about that anymore. No matter how we feel about that. No matter how we feel and no matter how resentful we are of that and how much we wanna stick with him. And I mean, in that regard, if millions of people say, God bless you, sir, God bless you, we love your presidency. We want those policies back, but the damage seems to have been done.

He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA. We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country. That's why we are here. Brought to you by the loan experts I trust, Andrew and Todd at sierra pacific mortgage at andrewandtodd .com. Joining us now exclusively, Senator Colton Moore, a great American. There is fight left in the state of Georgia. And there is an official petition to investigate Fannie Willis, as well as now his letter to Governor Brian Kemp. I'm going to read this. Colton Moore, welcome to the program. Dear Governor Kemp, we, the undersigned, being the duly elected members of the Georgia House of Representatives and Georgia Senate, and compromising three -fifths of each respective house pursuant to article four section two paragraph 7b, making sure my Roman numerals are right, hereby certify to you in writing with a copy of the Secretary of State that in our opinion emergency exists in the affairs of the state, requiring a special session to be convened under that section for all purposes to include that limitation, the review and response of the actions of Fannie Willis. Sincerely, Colton Moore. Colton, welcome to the program. Tell us about it. Charlie, thank you for having me. I mean, we're in a dire situation. After these indictments came out, I woke up, ate my biscuit, and I was like, is there a hair in my biscuit? I mean, this is disgusting. We have a district attorney using taxpayer money, using her government authority to persecute her political opponent to the tune of the death penalty. I will not be a sitting senator in this state and potentially have the former president be executed in the state of Georgia. Yeah, so let's just kind of walk through this. You are now leading a legislative campaign of oversight. What does that look like constitutionally in the state of Georgia? Tell us about it. So I have a job to do as a Senator, Charlie, and part of that job in the legislature is providing oversight. The Constitution gives us some tools to do that. First of which is the power of the purse, right? We control the money. And my constituents, Georgians outside of the city of Atlanta, don't feel that their tax dollars ought to be used for this type of purpose. You know, we've also got the power to investigate any judicial or executive official, and we ought to be doing an investigation on Fannie Willard. And if that investigation turns out that she's corrupt, like many of us suspect, it's time for impeachment. And so what is impeached? So in the Georgia Constitution, the House or the Senate can impeach a prosecutor. Is that correct? That's correct. Yeah, it's one of those checks and balances that we're blessed with here in the presidential system of American government. So let me ask you, read the room for us amongst your colleagues. You're leading this. It's now going totally viral as finally, praise God, good on you. Let's use some of this constitutional power to slow this down, investigate her. Was she given an external power? Why is she and why is she indicting the entire Republican Party, such as Trump? It's John Eastman, Rudy Giuliani, Jen Ellis. It's totally out of control. It's a fellow senator. It's a colleague of mine in the Senate. Is it also included on that indict? So what is what is the temperature check of the Georgia Senate? Is this going to be met? Yeah, please. Yeah, I mean, Republicans in the state of Georgia are asleep at the wheel, OK? Everything is talk, talk, talk. I talked to my other fellow senators and everything's well, you know, we're kind of wait this out, talk about it, you know, post the tweet, you know, let's make a Facebook post. I have a job to do. It's time to take action. And Charlie, let me tell you, right after this and that, I was having dinner with my mother and I told her, I said, no more talk like I have a job to do. Time to take action. And she was worried. He's like, I don't know, you know, they've got these guys charged with crimes that could potentially result in lethal injection. I don't know if I want you meddling in that. And I was like, mom, that's the time to take action, because as a red blooded American, you should never fear a Gestapo political tactic from a power like a D .A.. So I don't want to get you in trouble here, but just I want to I want to drill this down. Your other do you think your colleagues are going to support this? Oh, I think when their constituents start calling them up, they're going to be supporting them. Boom. Right. Because it's time to take action. Well, according according to Fannie Willis, it's a conspiracy to ask your lawmakers to do something. But whatever. Let's let's let's just be clear. So for the patriots of Georgia, they need to call their state rep on their state senator. And what is the ask? What is the order? To help us with this process to begin defunding the district attorney and investigating through the means of a special session. That's our job as a legislature to put a check and balance on this judicial branch, to put a check and balance on the judicial branch. And and praise God, you have the courage. Were you cautioned not to get into this by certain, let's just say older Republicans? Were you told, don't send this letter? You know, the caution comes in many forms. They're all cautious. And that's the scary part. That's what makes me so afraid. I mean, I'm 29 years old, Carly. I do not want to live the next 30 years of my life worried about a regime. I mean, this is some Putin fascist nonsense. So the letter is composed to the governor. Does he have to be the one to actually call the special session? No, no. So part of that check and balance process, the governor himself could call a special session and we could start right now. We could start tomorrow. But the governor has already made his statement. You know, he's looking back at this like this is a 2020 issue. Well, it took 19 days to count the votes. And these individuals have a legitimate concern about the election. Right. They were they were using their First Amendment to express concern about the election. And then now they're being charged with it. They're being taken political prisoner. And so so then you guys can call the session with three. That's right. Without the governor. Right. Without the governor. Does he preside over it or is he called into it or? No, no. The legislature would be operating independently and it gives us full subpoena power. So what are the what are the numbers, the House and the Senate, as far as the Republican majorities? So if every Republican in the Senate signed on, we would have we would have what was necessary. It's going to take every GOP Republican to stand up and abide by the principles of freedom, regardless of whether you like Donald Trump or not, regardless if you have a beef with some of these other folks who are indicted. These folks were using their freedom of expression and they had a concern. So the problem we're going to have over in the House is we're going to have to pick up a few Democrats. The margins are a little tighter there. But here's the other thing about this district attorney. The ACLU reports that half of the inmates in her jail have yet to be charged with a crime. And in meanwhile, we've got Young Thug, Young Slime, who's got RICO charges similar to what these political prisoners are about to have, and they haven't even picked a jury in over a year now. So so now we have evidence it's Young Thug. I thought is this some sort of a rapper or something? I believe so. Yeah, I'm not I'm not a big rap music fan, but his name is Young Thug. And I think the crime syndicate called Young Slime. Got it. So, yeah, so they they're standing for RICO charges and she's going easy on him. Meanwhile, so I mean, and by the way, Fulton County, it's like a third world country. When I go there, crime is up. It's terrible. And yet she's going she's trying an interstate RICO case. I this and claims that she can get it done in like six months. Right. And 18 people. And yet it's ridiculous. And yet Republicans are asleep at the wheel and say, I don't know, just let's let it play out. You know, so we have to wake up the Republican Party. I'm sure you have some colleagues that are going to stand with you, but we have to each Republican Georgia senator one by one. We need every county in Georgia. We need mass mobilization. This is the call to action. I just want you to riff on this. I'll be honest. I love the people of the state of Georgia. I love Georgia. But you guys have really disappointed in some ways in the last couple of years. It's a strange Republican apparatus. This is a chance for Georgia redemption. Yeah, no doubt.

A highlight from The Indictment Game: Trump, Election Interference, and Deep State Corruption with Julie Kelly
"I just still, to this day, cannot believe what I see happening in our nation's capital. Not just by the Department of Justice, the top officials, with the line prosecutors, how they conduct themselves in these courtrooms, the filings that they put together, the accusations that they make, the gratification that they get in inflicting pain on individuals who have no criminal record, who have no resources, who, after being charged with even misdemeanors for January 6th, have their complete lives destroyed. And then they want to come in and pour salt into the wound of these people, and they are gratified by it. Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests, and my fellow citizens, America's comeback starts right now. Welcome back to Financial Guys podcast, you're on the Financial Guys media network. Mike Sbarrozza in studio today. I'm very honored to have Julie Kelly with us. She's been on every single conservative TV station you could name. She does a lot of good journalism, which we don't have very much anymore, Julie. We'll get into that in a little bit, but investigative journalist Julie Kelly joining us. Thank you for joining us. Mike, thank you so much for having me on. Really appreciate it. Look forward to our discussion here. We're going to get to one of the biggest things that I've seen you talk about, which is January 6th in a little bit. But I do want to start with the big news of the week. This is not what I intended on talking about until it happened two days ago. But Donald Trump indicted for a fourth time, Julie. It doesn't even feel like, I hate to say it like this, but it's like another day, right? I mean, it doesn't even feel like big breaking news anymore. It just feels like another day here in the United States of America, right? It's just becoming a spectacle. And I think actually the Fannie Willis indictment and her statement, you know, close to midnight on Monday discussing this indictment is starting to show people just what a farce all of these indictments are. I mean, you've got Fannie Willis now charging the former president with racketeering. And these are state racketeering charges. Georgia has a much broader version of the federal statute. And then, you know, ensnaring 18 of his associates, including some of his closest advisers like Rudy Giuliani, former chief of staff Mark Meadows. You know, these are all like the top villains of the media and the Democratic Party. So this lengthy indictment, 161, what she calls overt acts to prove this racketeering conspiracy. And so many of them are just ridiculous, absurd on their face. But it doesn't matter because this is happening in a county, you know, 75 percent Democrats. And it's just one more unfortunate political legal battle that the president has to confront now.

A highlight from All GOP Presidential Candidates Should Suspend Their Campaigns And Support Trump
"Turbulent times call for clear -headed insight that's hard to come by these days, especially on TV. That's where we come in. Salem News Channel has the greatest collection of conservative minds all in one place. People you know and trust, like Dennis Prager, Eric Metaxas, Charlie Kirk, and more. Unfiltered, unapologetic truth. Find what you're searching for at snc .tv and on Local Now Channel 525. This is your source for breaking news and what to make of it all. This is The Mike Gallagher Show. Even when everything you say makes sense except it's all bullshit. It's all non -stop. We know this is designed to banish and isolate and to destroy a political outsider. That's the funny thing about this Democrat party. It does hate America. It's hated America since its founding. Voters decide who our presidents are. Not district attorneys, not big donors, not anchors, not pundits, not lawyers. Voters decide. Now from the relieffactor .com studios, here's Mike Gallagher. The voters get to decide. And the voters are going to decide. I'm convinced of that. If not, my country is gone. Welcome aboard. It's Wednesday. I was reading this morning about the Fulton County Sheriff's Department and how the sheriff says, oh, they're all going to get booked and processed. Trump and the 18 other indicted co -conspiracers. There's going to be this three -ring circus next week, a week from Friday, where President Trump and Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell and all the rest of them are going to get booked and processed like common criminals at the Fulton County Jail. There's one goal there. You know what it is. It's to embarrass. It's to intimidate. It is to attack a guy that more than half the country loves. And every attempt to embarrass him is going to result in his popularity increasing. Every effort to embarrass him is going to result in greater popularity for President Trump. I had a No Interruptions podcast that dropped this morning. Wherever you get your podcasts, I hope you subscribe to The Mike Gallagher Show No Interruptions podcast. It's really special because we present two points of view without any interrupting. You know, there's a lot of interrupting with Mark Davis this morning. You'll hear it today, the Eminem experience. Mark and I disagreed mightily about my belief that if Ron DeSantis and all the other Republican candidates would simply throw their support behind Trump right now, drastic times call for drastic measures. Jack Smith and Fannie Willis and all the rest of them, Biden's Justice Department, Merrick Garland, they want to destroy your ability to elect the next president of the United States. They're what an amazing, inspirational move it would be if Governor DeSantis said, you know what, I'll try again in twenty twenty eight. But right now I'm all in for Trump. I can't believe they've weaponized the Justice Department this way. It cannot stand. It will not stand. I'm in for Trump. And first of all, DeSantis becomes the single most popular politician in the history of America. His twenty twenty eight landslide would be guaranteed. Second of all, Trump's election in twenty twenty four would almost certainly be guaranteed. These Republicans could unify and have the opportunity to turn this whole thing around just like that. Now, it's not going to happen. I'm sure I'm delusional, perhaps. But man, oh, man, what a game changer that would be. And Mark Davis, boy, he went off on me. He just thinks I'm crazy, delusional. I don't want to let voters vote. I'm Hugo Chavez. I'm Venezuela. He kept arguing with me today that I'm trying to take away the right to vote. I said, Mark, that's precisely what Biden's Justice Department is trying to do. Don't you get it? And for Mark and people who feel the way Mark feels, it's just business as usual. Let's let it all play out. Let's have the primaries. Let's have the debates. Oh, next week. OK, let's get our popcorn out. There'll be a lot of drama, but that's OK. It'll all sort itself out. It's not going to sort itself out. People are going to have to stand up and and do things they would have never considered doing before. And I believe that would include Republicans unifying behind Trump. It could be a pipe dream, but then again, hey, it's 2023. Anything is possible. So back to this no interruptions podcast, a back and forth. This week's no interruptions podcast was between Caroline Wren, who's the former finance adviser for Trump, his Trump Victory Finance Committee. She's also been working with Carrie Lake and David Carlucci, who's a Democrat strategist and a former Democrat New York state senator. And we debated election integrity. Caroline said something and there's no interruptions. First of all, make sure you check out this podcast. Again, subscribe to The Mike Gallagher Show, no interruptions podcast wherever you get your podcast. You're going to want to hear this one. Again, no back and forth, no crosstalk, no interference. You get to hear both points of you uninterrupted. But Caroline explain why there is so much doubt about the integrity of the 2020 election. And so I wanted to lift that cut. I want to play that clip for you from yesterday's pot for this week's podcast. I want you to hear why millions of us are cynical about the outcome of the 2020 election. I don't think I've ever heard anybody in just a minute and seconds 54 so perfectly summarize the problems of the 2020 election and why we have so much doubt. I want to play that for you coming up here in the Relief Factor Studios. I also want to invite you to join us, 800 -655 -MIKE. We've also been taking a poll, The Birch Gold Survey at MikeOnline .com.

Our number is 800 -655 -MIKE. And if you want to beat me up a little bit like Mark Davis did this morning, that I'm crazy and delusional over whether or not it would be a good thing for all the Republican candidates to endorse Trump now. You think that's nuts? We'll see. And wait till you hear what Caroline Wren says about election integrity, 2020 style. 800 -655 -6453. We have a line open and ready just for you.

"God love her. I don't know what's been going on with the work. Listen, everybody gets work, and you know, you can get the Melanie Griffith Duck Mouth or get really incredible high -quality work like Jane Fonda. I don't know what's going on with this woman. Incredible talent, soundtrack of most of my adult life. God bless her. She's 65. Hope everything's okay. She's back to rehearsing again. I just saw a video last night on the news that she's back to work, so hopefully she'll be okay. I do too. Frankly, I'm glad she's not in jail. When you threaten to blow up the White House, one would think there might be some consequences. I wonder why Fannie Willis is an indicting Madonna. This case is so dumb. And I was thinking last night about, what are historians going to say about this 100 years from now? Aren't they going to look at this and say, wait a minute, they didn't indict him in 2020, 2021, 2022. But late summer, 2023, months before the election, they decided they had to send him to prison for 712 years and six months. I love that I had somebody text me yesterday and say, Mike, do you think they're going to build one of those, there's some movie that has where you can be in prison for eternity and it's like you get cryogenically frozen. Demolition Man? Sylvester Stallone? That's what it was. And what's that prison? Is there like a prison that's like, so maybe Trump can go to that prison. Somebody else texted me. Like Demolition Man, he's defrosted and brought out like in 500 years in the future. Can you imagine what's going on here? Where's the Taco Bell? That's the only restaurant you got? Awesome. The future is great. I love it. Have you got a McDonald's? This is superb. Where's Mike Pence? Is he dead? Good. The country's better. Are the historians going to look at the indictments themselves and realize he was indicted for tweeting to tell people to watch TV? Well, you asked a funny question. Well, you asked a very, very telling question. And when you ask it, I know exactly what you mean, what will historians say? It is based on the presumption that there will be historians looking at things with an objective eye, who with the gift of distance in the rearview mirror will take a look at it and say, wow, that was crazy back in 2023 when they did that. But have you noticed the poisons that are working their way through the profession called historian? Not just this Michael Beschloss, who's MSNBC's favorite guy on Twitter all the time. I see people identifying themselves as historians saying we nearly lost democracy on January 6th. Thank God this is an opportunity for us to maybe get it back. Listen, if some Democrat senator or activist says that, whatever, it's another day. Historians? So my added prayer this morning is that we actually have a profession called historian, where people will write stories based on facts and based on objectivity and not their own political load. It almost comes down to who writes the history books. Always has been. And that always has been, always will be. And let's pray there's a shred of objectivity. But let's pray we get this right. I got so much traction yesterday when I woke up and I brought to the show my belief that this all gets turned around in the blink of an eye. And I know it's not going to happen, so don't worry about chastising me. Let me spare you. But if DeSantis and the rest of them next week said, you know what, we wanted to run, but guess what? I mean, DeSantis is, you know, underwater, continually.

Former President Trump is facing criminal conspiracy charges in Georgia related to his alleged efforts to overturn the state's 2020 election results. Fulton County District Attorney Fannie Willis said Trump has until noon Eastern time next Friday to voluntarily surrender after he was indicted last night. Trump faces felony racketeering charges and more. Willis refused to comment on the indictment copy called a fabrication by her office that was posted on the Fulton County clerk's Web site yesterday prior to the grand jury finishing up its work. The 97 page indictment includes 41 felony counts. 18 other people have also been charged in the case, including Trump's former lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, and former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. Willis noted she will seek a trial date within six months. The death toll in Hawaii from wildfires is at ninety nine. The massive wind driven blaze that tore through the once picturesque town of Lahaina on the island of Maui is now the deadliest wildfire in modern U .S. history. Damages are estimated at more than five and a half billion. And sadly, officials expect the death toll to continue to rise. This comes as the Hawaiian Electric Company is beginning the laboring task of restoring power to fire ravaged West Maui. Mounting evidence suggests power lines played a role in starting the fire that destroyed Lahaina one week ago.

"Hello. From wonder media network, I'm Jenny Kaplan, and this is will manica. This month we're highlighting ragers. Women who use their anger often righteous, though not always. To accomplish extraordinary things. Today we're talking about a fearless union leader who stood up to big bosses. She fought tirelessly to alleviate poverty and exploitation of workers. And risked her life to do so. Let's talk about Fannie selin's. Francis Fannie Mooney was born in Ohio, sometime around 1870. Soon after, she moved to St. Louis, Missouri, to the Irish neighborhood of Carey patch. Fanny grew up in labor unions. Her father, a riverboat painter, was an active member of a painter's union. And Fannie often went to her father's union meetings. There, she saw a path to a better way of life. A path she would follow till the end. Danny eventually married a man named Charles sellings. By the time she was 30 years old, he was dead, and she was now a widow with four children. To support them, she took on a job as a seamstress at a garment factory owned by the clothing company, marks and Haas. The working conditions were horrible. The shop opened at 7 15 in the morning. And if you didn't make it on time, you didn't work. At 7 15 sharp, factory locked the workers inside for the day. Sometimes it made me sick to think what would happen in that big flimsy barracks if a fire should come, fanny later said. Disaster seemed inevitable, and for measly pay. Workers that half an hour for lunch. After that, everyone, men, women, children as young as ten and elders with no other options, worked until 9 at night. The company also had a policy prohibiting workers from using the elevator. They had to climb 6 flights of stairs to reach their stations. One of Danny's coworkers was a tailor who was suffering from tuberculosis. One day, he used the elevator. When he got reprimanded for breaking company rules, the other tailors walked out in solidarity, and so did fanny and the other women. Fanny became a leader for the union. Going on tour across the Midwest to ask for boycott support. And in 1913, after four years of protesting and picketing, Marx and Haas recognized the union. Fanny's success made waves. Other industry unions looking for a win asked for her guidance. Soon after her work in St. Louis came to an end, she traveled to West Virginia to support the minor workers union there. Her work was intense. She distributed clothing and food to starving women and babies, helped mothers tend to their children in poverty, and aided the sick and dying in their final days. By 1919, fanny had a strong reputation in the labor movement. While helping striking coal miners and colliers West Virginia, she was arrested and sent it to 6 months in jail. After her release, fanny wasted no time getting back into the movement. Philip Murray, a steel worker and labor leader in Pennsylvania, was impressed by her reputation. He asked her to come help miners striking against the Allegheny colon Coke company and direct their efforts. On August 26th, 1919, conflict between the miners and police came to a head. From here, narratives of the event differ. But in all of them, fanny came to the aid of the workers. And all of them ended in her death. In some accounts, she rushed to help women and children after deputies opened fire on the crowd of strikers. In another, she intervened when she saw a picketer being beaten. She was then beaten and shot by the guards. Fannie was buried a new Kensington Pennsylvania. Though the united mine workers of America continued to bring attention to her murder. All deputies brought to trial were eventually found not guilty. Fanny's story is not well known or extensively written about, but her work encouraged and that of her peers helped create many of the workers rights we benefit from today. That are still under threat. All month, we're talking about rangers. For more information, check us out on Facebook and Instagram at will manica podcast.

Do you think I have a future in that? And advertising? Yeah. I could see it. That's pretty good, right? Pretty great. All right, let's get on to we have a great Bloomberg intelligence strategist in here. Erika adelberg is an MBS strategist and the reason that I find this so cool is that the fed bought so much of these securities, right? Mortgage backed securities, and now they're selling them off in quantitative tightening. And I wonder how it's affecting the actual market that consumers access, Erica, do you see it because we've seen a little bit of volatility in mortgage rates, right? They went up to 5.7 and came down to 5.3, that's, I think, the F the Fannie Mae Freddie Mac numbers, but bank rate maybe is different. Nonetheless, a little bit of volatility. Yeah, yeah, they own an impressive amount of mortgage backed securities. They own over 2.7 trillion at this point, which is about a third of the mortgage market. So what they own really has it influenced and what they do has an influence on mortgage backed securities, which translates into an influence on mortgage rates. They haven't technically started a sell mortgage backed securities yet. They've mentioned jawbone at least that they may at some point in the future in a way that technically they don't want to disrupt the market, but they have stopped adding them in any significant size to their portfolio. And in fact, they're letting it run off. So as the pay downs and refinances come in, they're not reinvesting the full amount. And they're going to actually stop reinvesting all pay downs going forward. So far, just the influence of them not adding has pushed mortgage rates up to around 6%. That's partly also because treasuries have sold off in anticipation of fed funds being pushed off, which has started to happen. But also spread to have widened and mortgage backed securities relative to treasuries, the current coupon, which is basically what's most closely tied to the consumer rate is up to about a 140 basis points. It was as tight as 60 basis points last year. So that's 8 tenths of a percent rise just because mortgages are widening because the fed is no longer planning to support the market. So if they sell, when they sell, they're gonna sell right, they're not just gonna sit here and let them run off. I mean, there are certainly a number of fed governors who have said that they don't believe in supporting the mortgage market in this environment and are talking about selling but for every fed governor that says that another one I heard chair Williams talk at a mortgage banker conference and he's like, if that happens, we're going to give you a lot of it's going to be pretty far in the future and it's we're going to do it in a way that doesn't disrupt the secondary market. So I think that kind of talking at both sides of their mouths and I think they want to give themselves the opportunity to tell. But probably not going to do so in a size that really destroys the market, hopefully. Erika, you know, your witnessing a pretty historic moment here in that Matt Miller talked about mortgage rates without talking about his own mortgage, never happens. He likes to brag about just how great of a rate he got. I locked it in at three quarter percent. And we just do it. You ruined it. That's excellent. You're ruined it. But anyways, point of the point of that is affordability at the end of the day, and that seems to be at the core of this housing market story, especially people like me, who are probably not in the market for houses, while a lot of my friends already put down payments on them because they could. I'm curious about the affordability story. How does that change? Well, affordability numbers came out yesterday, reflecting members as of the end of May. So it reflected most of the rise in mortgage rates, but not all of it, and most of the rise in home prices, but not all of it. That number is now one O 2.5 at a hundred. That means that the average median income no longer will be above the qualifying income below that we're talking about housing market nationally being unaffordable and believe it or not, the housing of affordability index as run by national association realtors has never been below a hundred. So we are approaching historic, not in the lack of affordability in the housing market. And one of the most palpable, by the way. I mean, because so many people, I know either have been priced out or have had to stretch so far that they can't afford to do anything else. Yeah, one of the interesting things we were actually seeing in the mortgage banker association loan application index is that the loan sizes are decreasing while home prices we know are still going up. So I think what that means is that people are compromising on the type of house or the location of the house that they want to buy. And probably that's a trend we might see going forward. I've heard of other people anecdotally that finally, their bid was finally accepted on a house and this competitive housing market, and then they can't qualify for the mortgage rate. So there's also been a big drop in locks, rate locks. Relative to history. All right, Erica, thanks so much for joining us, Eric adelberg here. She is mortgage backed security strategist for Bloomberg intelligence talking to us about, I think one of the issues that almost everyone cares about, you know, either you're in the market or you want to get in the market or you're priced out of the market. Or like Paul Sweeney, you're happy to be out of the market and you'll never get back in. We are looking at, by the way, equity index is here that are kind of mixed in a session that isn't that isn't going really one direction or the other. The Dow is gaining 33 points. The S&P is down 11 and

"At the court So guys let's look back at some of the most important cases of last term that came down in the last month of the term And I emphasize that because the most watched case is always seem to come down at the end of the term The court took up ObamaCare for the third time And Kimberly the decision was kind of anticlimactic It was but I do think that that's something that makes it a significant ruling from the Roberts court So this particular challenge was about an amendment to the law that was passed under the GOP led Congress in 2017 without going into the nitty Gritty The question was whether or not that amendment kind of undid the whole of ObamaCare And the answer from the justice was we don't really know And said they found a procedural off ramp as the justices are known to do when they don't want to decide a particularly thorny issue And here they said that the individuals who had brought the challenge didn't show that they had been harmed enough in order to be able to sue in court And I think the significance is that the Affordable Care Act once again survives this kind of existential challenge And it seems like critics of the Affordable Care Act are going to have to turn to Congress rather than courts if they want to undo the law Next a case that didn't get as much attention as ObamaCare but it did lead to president Joe Biden ousting Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's regulator Greg tell us about the investors challenge and how they fared This is the case about Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae and the government agreement back after the housing crisis where the government bailed those two entities out and in exchange basically took all the profits And so you had a bunch of investors who sued the government saying hey you have cost us billions of dollars that was illegal And the investors had two basic kinds of claims One they said that the federal government lacked the authority to do this under federal statutes And secondly they said there was a big constitutional problem with the agency that oversees Fannie and Freddie which is that it was set up in a way that director of the agency couldn't be fired by the president without cause And they said that unconstitutional arrangement meant you had to throw out this entire arrangement of taking the profits And basically what the court did is it sharply narrowed the scope of this suit So the investors lost in a big way in terms of what they were seeking They were allowed to go forward only on a very narrow portion of their claim And more broadly what the court said was we do actually think there's a constitutional problem here This official the head of the FHFA was insulated from being fired by the president unconstitutionally So we're going to strip out the director's job protections and that means the president can fire the director for any reason That's not really what the investors wanted but that's what the Supreme Court held And that's what gave Joe Biden the authority to fire the holdover Trump director a guy named Mark Calabria which the president did almost immediately as soon as the Supreme Court issue is issued as ruling and that's the kind of ruling that extends a line of decisions that can serve as conservatives tend to like that puts the executive branch of the government more firmly under presidential control A comprehensive answer to a complicated case Kimberly the court curbed voting rights by limiting the reach of the landmark Voting Rights Act And this was one of the 16 decisions that went strictly down partisan lines That's right So this was brnovich versus Democratic National Committee And it involves a challenge to two Arizona voting regulations that the challengers have said disproportion proportionately affect voters of color The court ended up holding those provisions But that in and of itself wasn't all that earth shattering Instead it seems like the significance of this case is going to be the legal test that the justices used to uphold those rules And that's because these claims were brought under section two of the Voting Rights Act that you mentioned And that section has really taken on more important than the Supreme Court effectively cut off challenges under another section of the law in Shelby county that was deemed to be more favorable to these claims So in this burner case out of Arizona the court really seemed to set up a test that will make it harder for groups to challenge states and their voting regulations But we may get a pretty early test that's because the DoJ under attorney general Merrick Garland has sued Georgia for its recent election changes under the section two So we'll see that one and how it plays out pretty soon It's a case with real immediate repercussions Thou good news decision Good news for everyone perhaps but the NCAA I suppose The court cleared the way for greater compensation for student athletes Greg Yes June This was an NHS for the court upheld a district court's order that said schools must be allowed to offer athletes things like post graduation internships and academic achievement awards of about $6000 The NCAA had argued that we get have broad antitrust immunity at least when it comes to our eligibility rules because those eligibility rules let us offer this distinct product of amateur sports And the Supreme Court unanimously said no we don't quote reflexively reject all challenges to the NCAA's compensation restrictions Court instead said we look at them under what's known as the rule of reason And that's what the district court did in this case It allowed a pretty limited amount of additional compensation something that the Supreme Court said wouldn't blur the amateur pro distinction So relatively narrow in terms of the practical effect but it's a marker and there was a concurring opinion by justice Kavanaugh that suggested he would be willing to go much further in a future case and potentially let student athletes get much more in the way of compensation Now we'll turn to something totally different Google versus Oracle which overturned a victory for Oracle which was seeking as much as $9 billion It involved programming code which is why it's close to the bottom of my list Kimberly So Greg did frannie Mae and Freddie Mac so you get Google Oracle Right So this is a copyright case that was really closely watched by the tech industry It was dubbed by some as the copyright case of the century So this is a dispute over oracle's Java programming language Known as application programming interfaces or better known as APIs And really at a 30,000 foot view these are just software interfaces that help you talk to your computer Now Oracle as you mentioned billions of dollars from Google saying that the tech giant had violated its copyrights by using that but ultimately the court sided with Google And that scene is a good thing for software development because otherwise technic companies said they wouldn't be able to piggyback on the use of this API which is really widely used And instead they have to develop their own something they said would really hamper the development of technology going forward My favorite case the case of the cursing cheerleader that's the way it was called at least But it did involve a person cheerleader So Greg tell us about that It involved a 14 year old cheerleader who used a profane SnapChat ramp to say what you thought about not making the varsity cheerleading team The.

"Even I'm talking on social media about what I need right now, any sellers that are default. Ought to probate, a state attorney's Anybody even get a hold up to say, I've got a need. Who do you know that property is gonna have to go on the open market with us a short sale or foreclosure. When it goes on the market open market, you could still have the first dibs at it. If you are prepared, and you knew about it, there is one work happy After that. There's something in some MLS is including ours locally in Chicago. That is called the Private Listing Network. I'm not particularly a fan of it first, when I feel like that doesn't mean for my cellars that that property gets the maximum exposure doesn't get on Zillow or realtor dot com. It doesn't get out to a lot of the public website, but it's an access point for a lot of agencies that when the pictures aren't ready yet when they know the property's coming soon They're trying to figure out what pricing it should have. They will put it on what they call the private lifting networks. Then again, the private listing network are various. They're called various things in different. I'm a lesson. It does give you the chance to maybe preview of property and get your client into it. At least Knowledgeable about it prior to attending the open market. So if your agent talk to your broker, make sure that they understand what that is. One more idea is There is a family may 1st look program if agents are educated on this, I think it's great. If not, I'll have some training on it soon. Uh, the site called home past they have what they call the first look program. Was Fannie Mae and what that is. Those are foreclosures that air bank owned or bank backed mortgages and those properties have gone back to the bank. Unfortunately, But because they are Fannie Mae owned, which is a government entity Day want the first look program to be for homeowners. They're gonna give a period of 20 days. In most states, I think in Nevada is 30 days. I don't know why that must be a state law. But I read that online. But there's a 20 day window where home owner occupant So a lot of our clients were really trying to get in there fit for their families and for you know, they're gonna live in that property. That's an opportunity to be a property coming soon. Within his first look, which means that the first book program is using a consumer that's gonna live in the home is your primary residence. You were going to be able to get that property for yourself. Living. It certified that you're gonna live there. We can't do anything weird, but you're gonna be able to live there. Get that property before the investors can make good done it So it's a really cool program. Check that out. Hope this was helpful. Appreciate you guys over every week talking to me. It's always fun, man. And I know this is an interesting time in the market. But there is opportunity because these interest rates you just gotta dig to find the right property.

"Biden administration has already come out and said they're gonna put another one year moratorium on foreclosures. Lenders are going to be forced to work with these people and do modifications. So most of these people, I think we might see some foreclosures. But it's not gonna be like back in 78 6009 when we had the great mortgage meltdown right now, right now, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Jenny may are the most securitized, meaning they're the best off. Right now than they've ever been. So why do you say that looking? Why don't I see that? You say that was the amount of money that they're bringing in off a PM I off of the V A funding feed off of FAA Tae loans. Be it the M I pop. Uh, They're all very, very, very solvent.

"He's going to try to. They're gonna try to use Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac again like they did. In the run up to the disaster of the great recession in 8 4009. They're going to try to give out mortgage loans, the people who shouldn't be getting them. Because they can't afford them and and it's just it's going to set up another another one of these real estate bubbles that's going toe eventually. Come crashing down on everybody who's legit. And you're you couldn't be more on point with that. And my late dad used to have a great observation about all this, he would say, because because they push they make homeownership. They make it like It's a right you have it. Exactly, but that in order to be American, and in order to be you know, the I guess. Impressive to others. You need toe own your property. You need to own your home Well. Unfortunately, there are certain people that should not buy a home and in addition to that, with regard to the property, what ends up happening is Just because a family or a couple can afford that mortgage payment for that asset. Doesn't mean the asset is worth what they are paying. So what my dad's point back in the day was just cause you can fit the mortgage payment into your current budget, which could change if either one of the secret fire there has got sick. God forbid, but the bottom line is when we go to buy something I know the You're known as a cheap bastard. So when you go to buy something, you will get the price of it. So it's almost gotten to a point now where it's homeownership is being pushed by the government's so aggressively that people just need to own in, one owner told But they're not qualified to own a home and they're paying for the property. You would think that you would think that the government you would think that Biden and these Democrats would learn something from what happened. Not not 100 years ago, 12 years ago this This was a disaster. It almost brought down the entire world economy. Justin Justin Manning. What do you What do you offer? J. J Manning? What?

We can help them. The most these days, the most again to the highest volume of clients that are reaching out to us for help are those that have looked at what the pending Capital gains tax change is going to be meeting. I don't know it hasn't been, I think, Put pen to paper officially, but it looks like the capital gains taxes going to double Okay, that I didn't stutter. It's double. So what does that mean? That means a family. Maybe somebody. Maybe there was a recent inheritance. Maybe there's a property and they've decided. Hey, I want to sell and I want to move down to Florida with how we were. You know, they economies running run is if there is no, I was just down there to see my in laws. There is no code, but down there, everything is open. 100% and people decide what they want to do or what they don't want to do, which is really what needs to happen. Right? I die aggressed. The point is that those that are looking at an asset where they want to sell it in the next They plan to sell it in the next five years wouldn't just sell it right away. But talk to your accountant and sell it right away so that you could avoid That double capital gains penalty. If you're not going to do it, 10 31 Exchange. Why wouldn't you want to sell it now?

It became more and more important to the administration to have things, um, manufactured here, and I don't know. I don't know what's gonna happen. So that so again we get back to where is the asset? What is it producing? It couldn't be reached again. We get back to what we talked about before. Repurpose ng. You know, we recently just had a foreclosure we handled of a substantial hotel. And it sounds like it's going to get repurposed into a hotel slash nursing home. Uh, you know, because something needs to change because certain segments of business are, you know, are becoming Relevant like hotels. Like hotels in in the in the major cities and like down in Florida, they're not. They're not irrelevant.
