What You Need to Know is three big things about the terrible border bill. First, why does a border bill include billions of dollars of foreign aid for Ukraine and Israel? Foreign conflicts are a separate issue than our Southern border. Second, anything good that would come from the bill could be done right now by the executive branch, which is already empowered and expected to secure the border. Finally, all the other parts of the border bill would simply formalize the insane slew of illegal migrants flooding the country and would make it harder for the next President to deport them. Col. John Mills (Ret.), retired army colonel and author of The Nation Will Follow and War Against the Deep State, joins Ed to discuss the importance of election integrity and how it can be ensured. Col. Mills emphasizes the importance of validation of the 2020 election, because the truth is important. Ed and Col. Mills also discuss the involvement of nonprofit and for profit companies involved in government projects and impacting election integrity. Michael Morris is the Director of the Media Research Center's Free Speech America. He joins Ed to discuss Newsguard, an online firm that pretends to rate media outlets on their bias. As Morris and the MRC point out, Newsguard is not truthful and is itself biased. Newsguard has a liberal bent, and MRC is taking them on.

Terry Morris, President of Morris & Fellows Real Estate Services, Inc. joins the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to dive into the rich company history and remark on notable career milestones. Morris joins host Carol Morgan as the fifth Legends of Real Estate series guest. A 1970 graduate of Florida State University, Morris took his first professional leap by starting his career in retail management. After several years and a closer look at his financial goals, Morris began searching for new opportunities when a friend suggested commercial mortgage banking. In 1974, he accepted a position at The Commonwealth Corporation in Tallahassee, Florida as a commercial loan officer, a move that soon coincided with the first recession Morris would weather in his career. The company asked him to obtain his Florida real estate license and formally trained him in appraisals. When not working on a commercial project, Morris assisted the residential lending division of the company with residential appraisals, his first introduction to the residential side of real estate. The recession hit the southeast particularly hard, prompting Morris and his wife, Cheri, to look for greener pastures to better support their family of four. Morris said, “We studied the national economy by region and city and determined that the best opportunities at the time were in either Austin, Texas or Wichita, Kansas. For a young, dual-career couple raised in the south, this looked like an adventure and an opportunity to see another part of the country outside our comfort zone." Morris and his family packed up and moved to Kansas, Cheri working for Melvin Simon and Associates and Morris for J.P. Weigand & Sons, Inc., a residential and commercial brokerage firm founded in 1902. He opened a new office for the company and eventually took over relocation services as well. Brokerage is conducted somewhat differently in every state based on state laws and customs developed over decades. During this time, it was common for brokers to not only list and sell real estate but to also close loans in the broker's office, which led to some interesting situations. Morris said, “I'll never forget the day when a buyer showed up for an all-cash residential closing and put stacks of one-hundred-dollar bills on my desk. I couldn't get that closing done quick enough and get to the bank!” While they loved their life in Wichita, they felt far from home. Both Morris and his wife grew up in the southeast and knew it was time to pull out the map again and choose where their next and hopefully permanent stop would be. Atlanta seemed an attractive option with its opportunity for growth in both of their separate career paths. Cheri joined up with Tom Cousins as Vice President of marketing in the spring of 1978, and Morris joined Northside Realty, run at that time by Johnny Isakson. While working for Isakson, Morris first managed the North Sandy Springs office and then the Smyrna office, familiarizing himself with nuances of the Atlanta real estate market, Georgia laws, and customs. This was a wonderful opportunity to dig into the largest real estate market in the southeast working with a premier real estate brokerage firm. As Morris grew in his position with Northside, the second recession of his career loomed large. In the early 1980s, Morris found himself responsible for expanding a profit center while the market experienced interest rates of 18% and higher. Morris said, “That didn't stop us. We developed all sorts of creative ways to sell and finance homes. In our small office in West Cobb County, we sold one house a day on average in 1982 at 18% interest rates.” Morris and his team took advantage of the rent versus sell pros and cons and developed other innovative solutions to satisfy customer needs. Aided by Morris' financial background, he and his team became proficient problem solvers in challenging times. While in Smyrna,

Mania surrounding messianic prophets has defined the national consciousness since the American Revolution. From Civil War veteran and virulent anticapitalist Cyrus Teed, to the dapper and overlooked civil rights pioneer Father Divine, to even the megalomaniacal Jim Jones, these figures have routinely been dismissed as dangerous and hysterical outliers.After years of studying these emblematic figures, Adam Morris demonstrates that messiahs are not just a classic trope of our national culture; their visions are essential for understanding American history. As Morris demonstrates, these charismatic, if flawed, would-be prophets sought to expose and ameliorate deep social ills-such as income inequality, gender conformity, and racial injustice. Provocative and long overdue, this is the story of those who tried to point the way toward an impossible "American Dream": men and women who momentarily captured the imagination of a nation always searching for salvation.-Adam Morris is a writer and literary translator who lives in California. He is a recipient of the Susan Sontag Foundation Prize in literary translation, a Northern California Book Award in prose translation, and a Ph.D. in literature from Stanford University. His first book is American Messiahs: False Prophets of a Damned Nation.

For the newest Denver Nuggets Daily Podcast, T.J. McBride had a special guest. Denver Nuggets backup point guard Monte Morris joined the show to talk about his hometown of Flint, Michigan and the water crisis that his old neighborhood is currently enduring. Throughout the podcast, Morris discussed the water crisis, how he has been able to assist his community (so far), how the water crisis is hurting children more than anyone else, and how nothing has been done to solve the issue even after nearly five years of unusable and undrinkable water. If you are looking for a way to donate, support, or help fund people who are trying to make a difference in Flint as the community suffers through this water crisis, here are a few ways to do so: Reach out to the Flint Water Fund to donate money to supply residents with clean bottled water. The Convoy of Hope is another charitable organization that takes donations that they then use to supply the city of Flint with clean water. As Morris said in the interview, it is children who are usually most affected by the water crisis in Flint. You can donate to Save the Children or the Community Foundation of a Greater Flint which are organizations that specifically look to help educate and help kids in the area.
It's the question on everyone's mind: How the hell did we get here, Donald Trump's America? How did our belief in democratic ideals get warped into what Errol Morris terms the “bat shit craziness” of the Trump era? LARB's Tom Lutz talks with Morris about his brilliant new film Wormword, which debuts this week on Netflix, and how it's tale of an army scientist's suspicious death in 1953 relates to the current crisis of a government we feel we fundamentally can't trust. As Morris explains, a society that builds powerful, secretive, violent institutions cannot also be an honest democracy with citizens who demand to know the truth - and what better way to deliver this message than an uncanny, six-part, binge-worthy, murder mystery. Also, John Freeman returns to recommend Solmaz Sharif's sublime book of verse, Look.

But then something changed… As Morris was busy doing his thing making movies and television shows, he noticed that the extra weight wasn’t hopping off of his frame like it used to. In fact, the weight snuck up on him so fast that he barely knew what hit him.

How carbohydrate intake can affect water retention in the body. What carbohydrate spillover is and how it impacts body fat. How extra weight can creep up on you. Why actors tend to get fat on set. The most significant thing that a trainer has to establish with their client. How weekend weight gain changed Morris’ perception about fitness.

Why eating some smart carbs for dinner can actually help you sleep better. Items mentioned in this episode include: Onnit.com/Model
In this first episode we meet Michael J Morris, who was visiting Australia for the PSI conference. This wide-ranging discussion took place in a corridor at Melbourne University where we discussed ecosexuality, dance research, gender and all in between. Morris’ dance practices and interests are broad from Butoh to Burlesque, often concerned with destabilising normative gender and sexuality categories. Their experience in dance reveals there are multiple pathways to making a career in dance. As Morris explained “there are people who are fed from the experience on stage and others find it draining.” Morris’ PhD explored ecosexuality based partially on interviews with activists/artists Elizabeth Stephens and Annie Sprinkle. Morris is currently an Associate Professor of Dance at Denison University, where they teach Queer, Women’s and Gender Studies. Morris has an amazing blog full of musings and writing, which you should check out; you can also follow them on twitter If you have enjoyed this discussion share it with a friend. Stay tuned for another stimulating episode. We will be hitting the web in two weeks time as we continue to explore the world of dance, with interviews from Deborah Jowett, Gideon Obarzanek, Stephanie Lake, Rafael Bonachela and many more. “Even our most mundane sexual practices have an ecological impact”
