JAG and TLeake debate the consequences of DA Fani Willis prosecuting the Donal Trump Election fraud case.

Dive into the intricacies of love and morality with JAG and TLeake. In the spirit of February, the month synonymous with matters of the heart, we tackle Al Green's provocative statement: Love is something that can make you do wrong. Join us as we embark on a thought-provoking journey through Philia, Eros, Storge, and Agape—four distinct types of love. Through lively debate and insightful discourse, we delve into whether each form of love has the power to lead us astray or if it's our perception of love that shapes our moral compass.

It's 2024, and JAG and TLeake are back with a vengeance! The year started with Claudine Gay, our Stanford Class of '92 classmate, resigning as Harvard University's President. JAG and TLeake pontificate what the attack on her may signify for Black America. Listen as JAG and TLeake are on a mission to provide consideration to Black America as 2024 - a critical election year - gets in full swing.

You've seen it. You've heard about it. But have you really thought about what the Alabama Waterfront Brawl means? JAG and TLeake are (FINALLY!) back to discuss the connections among a Trump rally, a seemingly race-based brawl and a fast-approaching 2024 major election and what it might tell us about where we are and where we may be headed in the United States.  Thanks so much for listening.

Will a 90-day extension be enough to get the truth behind Clarence Thomas' financials? JAG and TLeake debate the question of accountability for Supreme Court Justices. Article III of the Constitution states that Justices “hold their office during good behavior,” which means they have a lifetime appointment, except under extreme circumstances. JAG and TLeake debate whether Clarence Thomas will hold his office and maintain good behavior by divulging his economic situation before the new deadline. Thanks so much for listening.

WNBA star Brittney Griner was released from a Russian penal colony on 8 Dec. 2022 in a swap for convicted arms dealer Viktor Bout – the merchant of death. Griner has been detained since 17 Feb. and was sentenced to 9.5 years in August for having vape cartridges containing the marijuana concentrate hashish. You can read all about it here.

JAG and TLeake offer an opportunity to step back (and a breath) to reflect on the concept of a "new normal" in light of the recent mass shootings (Buffalo, Uvalde, and several since).
