"Hop stars and professional athletes he's represented. When you see video of Cardi B leaving the courthouse after assault charges were reduced to misdemeanors, you can see Atlanta attorney drew Finland walking beside her. And now he may be walking next to an even bigger celebrity in the most high profile case you can think of. Finland will be representing former president Donald Trump if he's indicted for trying to overturn the Georgia presidential election in 2020. Joining me is Bloomberg legal reporter David vor yakis, who interviewed findling. Hashtag $1 billion lawyer. Tell me what that's about. Drew Finley is a defense lawyer in Atlanta who's built quite a reputation over the last decade, representing hip hop stars in reality people who've been caught in legal or criminal problems and he's gotten a number of people either acquitted or had their charges reduced and he's built such a reputation that one of the rappers that he represented called him the hashtag $1 billion lawyer. This was a guy named young Dahl, who Finland was visiting in Hollywood after he'd been shot. The nickname has stuck at young doll died in 2021 from 22 gunshots. And he represented Cardi B in that trial? There was an assault case in The Bronx, it involved assaults at two different strip clubs. And she had assault charges that were reduced to misdemeanors. He's also represented the rapper waka flocka flame, who had a gun charge after there was a weapon found in his bag at the Atlanta airport and he was acquitted and he also represented several members of the ref group Migos, most particularly after they were arrested at a concert at Georgia southern university. He's also represented other celebrities like Alvin Kamara, the New Orleans Saints running back and the record to baby. David, I have to congratulate you for saying waka flocka flame without hesitation. And findling feigned started with representing Atlanta rappers, and he says he's gone out of his way to try to understand rappers. They find that he is a very constant lawyer who also listens to them and gives them life advice and he's had a good track record of success. He's been defense lawyer in and around Atlanta for nearly 40 years. And so he knows the prosecutors and the judges and the jurors and able to connect with juries in a very powerful way that's brought him a lot of good results. He also connects personally with the various hip hop people that he represents. His practice goes beyond just criminal representation or is he just a criminal defense lawyer? He's a criminal defense lawyer who also does civil cases as well. And, well, he primarily built a really good reputation in the Atlanta area in the last decade or so he's done cases all over the U.S.. I always find that a lawyer's office says a lot about the lawyer. I know you visited his office. Tell us about it. It's an office in an upscale office park in the Buckhead neighborhood in Atlanta and there are dozens of framed photographs and newspaper clippings of him with his clients for whom he's gotten good results through the years. And there's also three large paintings in the entry room. One is of Sam Adams one is a thurgood Marshall and one is Ruth Bader Ginsburg. He has supported progressive legal causes through the years. He was the president for a year of the national association of criminal defense lawyers where he made a number of speeches and he supports people who are he believes unjustly detained and believes that the criminal justice system is tilted against black and brown dependence. So as you said, he supports progressive legal, causes he criticized Trump during his time in The White House once calling him racist and pathetic in a tweet. Why is he taking on Trump as a client? Well, that's not entirely clear to me except this he defends himself by saying that he's able to separate his clients and his commitment to the law and serving them from his personal life and his personal beliefs and personal political beliefs. Do you know how Trump found him or why he selected him out of all the attorneys in Atlanta? Drew fiddling said that some lawyers who worked with Trump reached out to him and interviewed him and that he ended up becoming his advocate in Atlanta. At this point, he's representing him in presumably trying to persuade the district attorney funny willows to avoid indicting Trump. Our understanding is that he would also represent him at trial, but I guess we'll have to see what happens when and if that becomes necessary. And you spoke to colleagues of his who said that he's very good at convincing prosecutors not to bring charges. Right. It's not only that these excellent on his feet in the courtroom and at birth across examiner and can really bond with a jury. But that he understands how state and federal cases are constructed and can convince prosecutors many times to either forgo charges altogether or not bring the charges that are a serious as their initially contemplating, so it could well be that his service to Donald Trump is in convincing funny Willis not to charge him at all. And do you know if he has met Trump yet? It's not clear to me if he's met him, but I know that he's spoken with him. What did he say if anything about Trump's case? He said a few things that sort of in reference to Trump's case, one about the RICO statute. He would not talk about the terms of his engagement or Trump's case specifically. What he would talk about is the reco statute, which, of course, is the racketeer influenced and corrupt organizations act under Georgia law, which is something that funny will us to just attorney has brought a number of times, particularly in her war on gang violence in Atlanta. And he believes

"Trees above them catch fire. Do you need to treat them with herbicides. Those serve invasive capital I invasive species that are particularly bad bullies. How about telling us a success story of rescuing or saving a rare plant? I got a great story. Yeah. And it's not just my story. It's a story of partners. It's the Georgia plank conservation lines. These are organizations that work together in Georgia, just bring together whatever resources and talents they have on behalf of critically rare plants and their habitats. A great Georgia success story is dwarf sumac. What's Russ Michelle looks like a sumac you might know, but it is it's dwarf and it's hairy and it's fuzzy and it's adorable. It's maybe maybe three feet tall when biologists got involved maybe starting 50 years ago. There were two populations left in Georgia. Populations were male and female and they were separated by hundreds of miles and wow. It's hard for B to get between those male plants and those female plants that were separated. Partners at the Atlanta botanical garden partners at department of natural resources, partners at state botanical garden, Georgia southern Botanic gardens, Georgia southern university, many partners working on behalf of this dwarf sumac, bringing it into cultivation. We pot up and have little snippets of males and females, but they just sit there. They don't flower at the same time, they don't reproduce. If I'm looking at it, I'm using a very technical conservation biology term. I'm looking at saying they're forlorn. They are forlorn. They are failure to thrive. In plant conservation, we tend to not mix populations. We're trying to keep the genetics of each population moving forward through time. Ginny crus Sanders, who is at the time at the Atlanta botanical garden. She's now the director of state botanical garden, and doctor mitzi Moffat, one of the state botanists of the department of resources. He's now with fish and wildlife. They're like, we are losing this plant. We were down to four male plants and a handful of female plants. We're dwindling, even in cultivation. They said, we've got to bring them together in the wild. So, on Valentine's Day, they planted the males and the females on some state property. That for a while, but within a year, those males took off. So we went from four males. Now there are tens of thousands of stems, ten years later. Maybe they needed privacy. I don't know. But they needed to be in the wild. So there are things that we don't understand. There's things that as much as we scientifically tinker with these species and try to learn everything about their life history. There's things we don't understand. So many species need to be in natural areas to survive and thrive. But now in this site they are reproducing. And they are making baby dwarf sumacs and that is a great success story because we came very close to losing that species in Georgia. When I hear sumac, I think about in boy scouts making tea with it or some kind of drink. Yeah, people still do that. There's so few seeds. I don't think I could do it with a dwarf sumac. But maybe someday, they'll be ridiculous amounts of seeds and we can have a sumac tea. There you go. You've met in connect to protect several times. Would you like to expand on some more? Yes, please, and thank you. Connect to protect is an idea that we borrowed from our Friends at Fairchild tropical garden, and they were planting gardens to connect rare plant habitat across the lower Peninsula, a Florida, a rare plant habitat, the pine barrens. We modeled our program in Georgia off of that, and that we can connect to protect for wildlife.

I could be. So give me give me the stick them up in the cowboy verbiage. Just stick them up. I don't say it hard. Hang them high, cow poke. Yeah, there you go. Yeah. I'm gonna character in real life. I don't need to. How would snazzy McGee in 1845 say this? Let's shoot. I would say something really basic. I'm a basic girl from kinetic and I don't know what she wants. I'm not accountant. I'm a cowgirl, but I'm not. It's like. Well, apparently we're not getting there. I'm not gonna give it to you. Like, listen, you know, we say we're normal people. We just dress up and we shoot cowboy. But if you're gonna dress up like you gotta go full you gotta go full cowgirl. I'm sorry, but if you're shooting cowboy action and you're gonna back it up with an outfit, cowboy hat, some spur, some chaps. How'd you know I have ChapStick? Like I've seen you shoot. I do have chaps. I have the whole outfit, but literally that's like why I started shooting, 'cause I wanna my parents were like, you know, you're gonna start shooting if you want. And I was like, do I get to be in front of people? And they were like, yes, and I was like, sweet. And here I am now on video all the time. So it makes sense. Yeah. But now I started doing that and I won my category and nationals when I was 16 and my mom was like, okay, figure something out to pay for college. Because obviously you like shooting, so like figure it out. So I got into clay target shooting and started doing that, got recruited to one of the top shotgun programs in the country. Shout out. Probably say bee top. Be top out of today when I was there, it was the top chakra program that you wanted to do. Multi national champion. But I think like 15 national championships. I mean, it was a big, it was like the Yukon women's basketball, the shotgun world. And I got started there, shot there for four years for national championships, loved it. And I think I was an English art history major. I never thought about getting in this industry with that. I was going to be an English professor. I was. I was, I was gonna be an English professor. I was gonna teach me. It would put her in front of people. I was gonna read Shakespeare exactly. I was gonna be in front of a whole. I was like, my stage would be my death in front of the doctor. Snazzy McGee. Doctor Smith. But that was my goal. I was like, I'm gonna do that, but then I was like, well, I should probably go to grad school because English and art history degrees don't get you anywhere. So I went to grad school. And I found a program at Georgia southern university where I could teach pistol classes and they pay for my school. So I got a free masters in public administration and which I was also not going to do anything with because who else at this table has a master's in public administration? Do you really? Yes. Yes I do. Okay, I have known KJ since my day one in this industry and I've never known that. Yeah. Okay, well, we learned something. Yeah, me too. Can you just my first friend in this industry guy? I was. I just met a shot show 2020. Right before the world I'm him. Yeah, and now we're here. And now we're here. No, but seriously, I think at that point I was like, all right, I'm stuck in this industry now. I'm like, I love it. I'm not stuck, but I was like, I'm addicted. I drank the Kool-Aid. I love it. I'm here, so I started at American outdoor brands. That's how I met you. I was a gallbladder and crimson trace and all those awesome brands over there. And then I just, you know, it was like I never wanted to be in any other industry. And that's it. You never want to go now. Once you're in, you don't want to go anywhere else. No. I've only known a handful of people that I've actually left the industry. Only to find out in a few years, they're back. Oh yeah, I've talked a lot like talk to a lot of people that maybe I've talked to people that were like school teachers and stuff. And they got into this industry later in life and then they were like, what was I doing? What was that doing in my life? So, yeah. I have decisions. This is the industry I was meant to be in. I love it. Oh, yeah. I love the people I get to hang out with and we get to watch guns getting built every day, just like ten feet away from our desks. I mean, it's freaking awesome.

What could i do to help this person. Help this brand or do whatever so. That's always been part of my path as well. What did your parents do to help others. That model that for you. My my parents helped no exaggeration. At least three hundred people come over from ghana to we used to call our house. A gun and refugee camp. 'cause they're always helping somebody come over and they stayed with us and they helped them get a job and get settled and get their paperwork and you know and send them on their way to help somebody else and so in the nose purse. Those people have somebody else and so they're integral part of a lot of people helping people come for a better life. That's very cool at a young age. Were you able to see that. That was a great thing. Be welcoming and open with your home. Were there times when you wanted attention or resources or otherwise and didn't always. Well you know i think it was. It was more that it was Well actually take that back. I don't think it was either. How about that. I think it was the fact that my parents were working and going to school. And so there The back there wasn't just my brother nine home by itself so that was a very thing that it was. We were glad that they were somebody else there and we were there long because there were always doing you know again working going to school. You mentioned track. I was a college track athlete. It sounds like he played both basketball and track in college. Am i play basketball. I stopped track early on. What was your track about. Iran the twenty and the one hundred. Okay nice so you end up at georgia southern what drew you to that school. So i honestly. I want to send them because it was a it was a deep also. I will say that. I'm so glad that i went there. Education i got mba because from where i was coming and i was in atlanta and i was looking for a program for the sports program. Am i contacted university. Georgia georgia southern university. Georgia never got back to me told much later in georgia's other then and so just went full speed on And saw the opportunity to to get my my education there. I'm so glad that happened. Because again i although i will send my big as broke but the education got it was like it was priceless so so you already knew. You wanted to go into sports psychology. What was it about becoming an athlete and getting involved with the helping of others that Made you wanna marry the two or made you fascinated by the element. So but i didn't always know when it'd be sports psychologists act you. Didn't even know about sports. Psychologist was twenty five. And that was because i was working at the so eddie graduated undergraduate and I was working at a facility for Bipolar depressed at all. Someone of my coworkers was born in sports conference in new orleans and so she knows an athlete so she asked by go with her in. Our job is gonna pay for it and so it was a free weekend in new orleans always looking now. Let's do won't half of your life. Yeah do that two people at a number of different ways. Yeah right. I was just going to have a great time. You know and i did. I had a great time in new orleans. I don't even know if i've intended to sports comforts event years later. I started thinking. What is this sports thing. What was that. what was that whole thing about. I contacted her and got my formation. Are looking it up and school wasn't so that hit me on the path that i again. I had no idea that even existed till i was twenty five. Yes i must have misheard. I thought you said that you're interested in georgia. Southern and and and georgia were based on the programs that they had so at the time. You weren't sure yet you were just sort of that. They were colleges nearby. And you wanted to go have a more amorphous study until you figured out what you wanted to do correct. I was living in atlanta and at that particular time i was actually working with adolescent male sex offenders. And that's the trajectory back. I wanted to do more. I don't know what it is. I want to do but i wanted to do more so i started thinking about that on conference that i didn't go to an orleans. And what does that really mean. Started thinking i actually. I like psychology and love sports and is this really a career. Did people get paid for this in at the side looking more and more and i was like wow this is this is. This is really cool. What do i need to do and then contacted the schools from there so when you graduated with your what was your undergraduate degree. It was in psychology. And then you end up going to pursue your doctorate and how did you choose and select where you wanted to work in what you wanted to focus on so might my focus was completely on wanting to work with athletes. I wanted to do the applied work. So in sports hike there is research and then there's teaching and then this applied work and i wanted to do the work. And so when. I was looking at programs into casey programs. They were all very academic for the first three years. And then you got to work with folks to figure out how to you know what your niches and how do you were players and so on and so forth and so I thought. I don't know if i really want to go that route because i don't know if i'm gonna do four more years of school or they actually finally school..

How my question this week involves the tricky issue of slavery. The questioner asks some disingenuous. People say the american revolution was about slavery slavery. How ever it was abolishing england in eighteen. Thirty three wooden colonial slave owners benefit from stable. English rule rather than revolution can result in property seizure. So as i said this is kind of a tricky question because it is a little bit nuanced. The wisdom controversy a couple years ago when the new york times sixteen nineteen project released some quotes which essentially said that the revolution was started in part at least to protect the institution of slavery in america. The project has since retracted. This comments and issued some much more vague comments on the subject. The basis for their argument comes from the case of somerset. V stewart. Which is something. I discussed way back in episode fifty eight but it involved a colonist who brought his slave to england. The slave escaped and the master recaptured. Him imprisoned him and announced that he intended to sell him to a plantation in jamaica. The slave went to court arguing. That britain had no law that recognizes status as a slave and therefore he was illegally imprisoned. Having not committed any crime. The court agreed. The judge found that there was no basis for slavery under british common law and that there was no statute in england that recognize his condition as a slave somerset was released as a free man. No doubt this was an important decision. The judge was lord mansfield. Who was a very important jurist. In britain at the time and many point to this case as a milestone on the move to the eventual abolition of all slavery within the british empire many decades later. But that said hey can by itself. this seventeen. Seventy two decision did not in slavery anywhere and did not directly threaten slavery in the colonies where slavery was established by statute not by common law. Even so there is some argument that colonial leaders particularly in south carolina so this decision as a concern and maeve encourage some leaders to join the movement seeking more autonomy from rule by parliament. Some historians have stretched that into arguing that slavery was in fact a cause of the revolution and that the fear of ending slavery caused many southerners to join the revolution..

Corinne is a Grad student at Georgia Southern University studying birds and before that she was zookeeper she's got a deep well of experience to draw upon for today's episode. What's your relationship with that phrase bird brained? I usually get a little bit offended when I hear the word bird brained as a person who spent a lot of time training birds For the purpose of education and showing off natural behaviors. I've gotten a chance to look very closely. At how birds think and understanding the way that they think and being very impressed with their cognition and so when I hear people use bird brained as an insult. I am. Dan Personally insulted. You gotta stand by Your burs. Starting off strong. I mean you gotta set the tone. Okay trusted expert. Witness Carina newsom approaching the bench. Hit us with that sweet sweet evidence. Carina SAYS BIRDS ARE OVERALL PRETTY SMART. Cognition depends on the species of course but birds in the Corbett family like crows and Ravens are wicked smart. Oh Yeah Yeah Yeah. They can memorize faces. They were Super Cool. Experiments on that in some crows can make tools which is usually associated with primates. Correct and you know what other birds are. Smart Parrots. They are incredibly social animals. They are also very skilled at mimicry. At recognizing even memorizing patterns At picking up on behavioral cues from humans. Corinna says that parents are tough pets precisely because they're so smart you have to give them mental stimulation and if you don't they're going to occupy themselves which oftentimes may end up looking like biting your furniture tearing apart your shoes wreaking havoc on your home here. It's need constant mental stimulation or else. It's just havoc and all of this has to do with connections inside their brains. Do I smell little data? Kwon Oh you. Do you better believe you do so a couple of years ago. This study came out that looked at brains across different types of birds songbirds parrots various birds of prey and the study looked closely at this part of the brain called the medial spira form nucleus which helps connect the Sara Bellum to the Tel and south one. Zero Bhalla is at the back of the brain deals with muscle movements balance. That kind of stuff. Do you know what that is yet? Yeah I know stuff kwong. Okay fine well do you know at the Telegraph. Alana's I yes. Go read do go right ahead. What is it okay. All right Gimme second. There's a lot of stuff in the brain Yeah it's this really intricate set up structures in the brain that are required for some of the most complex and evolved functions. Yeah you clearly. Google that With I can't you're breaking up on going through a tunnel. Ma'am you're in a closet? You can't be gone through the same time all right anyway. Moving on the key here. Is that the bridge connecting these two parts. The medial spire form. Nucleus and birds is a mark of strong cognitive abilities and parrots have an unusually large medial spiral form nucleus for their size so the birds have small low noggins but really advanced Lil Naga. Oh yeah good point. That was my follow up question to this research. Carino was talking about two and so despite the fact that birds have like very very small brains Usually like the size of a walnut forest and even larger Brain Bird. Those brains are the most effective at packing neurons compared to any other brains including Mammalian brains. So you hear that birds punching above their weight when it comes to neural density honestly. I'm not surprised. So some birds have about as many neurons in therefore brain than like a primate so because their brain has some complex folding and the the neurons are closer physically closer together inside of the brain. They can have a large number of neurons accomplishing a lot of the same goals that animals with bigger brains and their but fewer neurons have. Okay Kwong the verdict on bird brained. Oh you know what it is Mattie. Do I even need to say it slander? Getting so good that you taught me how could Lord okay? Okay my turn so I looked into the phrase eat like a bird. Oh yeah very curious about this. People will say that it suggests. Someone doesn't eat very much that they're like peckish right. Which you know the official. Npr shortly position is that just. Don't comment on how much or how little somebody eats you know what I mean. Generally speaking yeah mine. You're on food business. Yes so okay. Let us start our examination of eat like a bird by considering the simple hummingbird. Do you know how they eat. Deer Kwan no no I do not dear Mattie but I fear but I fear you are about to tell me in excruciating detail first of all let me start off by saying you're welcome second introduce you to Alejandro Trico. He is an assistant professor of biology at the University of Washington on curator of birds at the Burke Museum of the University of Washington. But before that when he was a graduate student at the University of Connecticut he was part of one of my favorite bird. Eating related experiments ever so humming. Birds have really long tongues that dart out to get nectar and for a long time scientists. Thought that the tongue worked like a tiny tiny little tube so small the nectar. Kinda just shoots up the tongue on its own by what's called capillary action Ali in his boss Margaret Ruby. The did not by this capillary action. Theory Oh We were discussing. How the equations and the predictions from those capillaries don really made sense in terms of what the actual the hummingbirds in nature look like. But here's the thing on one does not simply eyeball a hummingbird tongue. These little are as thin as a fishing line and they dart in and out of the beak at like fifteen to twenty times per second. Whoa so to solve these problems. What we devise were tiny transparent flowers with flat sides so we could film through it and see the action happening on. We needed high speed video because it's happening so fast so we were filming between a thousand and two thousand frames per second just to see how long would interact with the nectar. So cool all right so. They made little glass flowers so they could film through them. That's that's pretty genius. Yeah and what they saw kwong. It changed the Hummingbird game. What we saw is that the Humbert on when he touches the nectar. I the portion that is inside the liquid on falls on it has little fringes on those tubes on those open up. Oh so it definitely isn't just a static little tube no not even close as the tongue is shooting out of the beak. It's compressed by the beak but when the tip of tongue hits the nectar it splits into two like a little snake tongue and those tips. They have these little flaps that hoping an those flaps fill up with nectar. That is so amazing.
