On Today's Episode –“Save Okefenokee Swamp From UNESCO Control,” Mark and Bonner talk about the 450,000 acres, designated as a wildlife refuge by President Roservelt, and located mostly in Georgia, but spreading as far south as Florida, that was nominated to become a UNESCO World Heritage Site, by the Biden Administration. Numerous GA. County commissioners and other concerned stakeholders who want to keep this wildlife refuge in American hands.

Listeners, let's dive straight into where the courts stand right now on Donald Trump and the trials that still define his post‑presidency.Over the past few days, the center of gravity has shifted from the drama of live testimony to the slow grind of appeals courts and the Supreme Court, where Donald Trump is still fighting the fallout from his earlier criminal and civil cases. News outlets like the New York Times and CNN report that his legal team has been zeroing in on one overarching goal: pushing back or weakening the criminal convictions and keeping any remaining trials away from the spotlight as the election year calendar fills up.According to reporting from the Associated Press, Trump's lawyers are continuing to press appeals in the New York hush‑money case, the one where a Manhattan jury previously convicted him on multiple felony counts related to falsifying business records tied to payments to Stormy Daniels. Those appeals hinge on claims that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg stretched state law to criminalize conduct that, the defense insists, should have been treated as a federal election issue, not a state‑level fraud scheme. Legal analysts on NBC News say the appellate judges are now weighing not just the trial judge's rulings on evidence and jury instructions, but the larger question of whether New York law was used in a way it was never intended to be.At the same time, the federal election‑interference case in Washington, led by Special Counsel Jack Smith, remains in a kind of limbo, dominated by higher‑court arguments over presidential immunity and the scope of official acts. The Washington Post reports that Trump's team is still arguing that a former president cannot be criminally prosecuted for actions taken while in office that are even arguably official. That issue has already gone through one round in the D.C. Circuit, and commentators on Lawfare note that the next moves will determine whether a full retrial timetable is even realistic this year, or whether the case stays frozen while the Supreme Court is asked to step in again.Down in Georgia, in the Fulton County election‑subversion case brought by District Attorney Fani Willis, recent coverage from the Atlanta Journal‑Constitution describes a proceeding that is technically alive but politically and logistically bogged down. Multiple co‑defendants have launched appeals attacking the use of Georgia's racketeering law and challenging Fani Willis herself after earlier questions about her conduct and conflicts. Courts are now wrestling with which defendants, including Donald Trump, can be tried together and whether a streamlined, smaller trial is the only way forward.Meanwhile, the fallout from the civil fraud case in New York, brought by Attorney General Letitia James over alleged inflation of asset values, has moved deeper into the appellate phase. Bloomberg reports that Trump's lawyers are asking New York's appellate courts to roll back the sweeping financial penalties and long bans on acting as an officer of a New York company, arguing that lenders were repaid in full and were not victims in any traditional sense. Business groups are watching closely, because the final word on that judgment will shape how aggressively state officials can police alleged corporate fraud by a former president or any other high‑profile executive.Threaded through all of this is a broader institutional question: how much of a former president's behavior, political or financial, belongs in criminal court, and how much should be left to voters or Congress? Legal scholars quoted in the Wall Street Journal say that whatever happens in these Trump cases will set precedents that long outlast him, defining how prosecutors, grand juries, and judges treat the next national‑level scandal.Listeners, thanks for tuning in.

As Atlanta moves into 2026, local journalism faces a defining moment. Ron explores what it means as the Atlanta Journal-Constitution ends its print edition and goes fully digital, signaling a broader shift in how news is consumed. Matt Scott, executive director of the Atlanta Community Press Collective, joins the show to explain how nonprofit, grassroots outlets are filling gaps left by corporate media—and why community support is now essential.On the national stage, James Comer (R-Kentucky) is a lot like the Wile E. Coyote cartoon character, in Ron's opinion: always chasing after something that'll get him crushed. This time it's testimony from Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. The more we learn about the Minnesota fraud story, the better Walz is going to look when he's mopping up the floor with Congressional Republicans if he goes.Later, Ron speaks with Darl Champion of the Champion Firm about concerns over-aggressive client solicitation practices (we think "ambulance chasers," they call 'em "runners") in the Georgia legal profession and what consumers should know after an accident. BONUS: Ron's 2026 Resolutions and predictions.Tune in to catch the Ron Show weekdays from 4-6pm Eastern time on Georgia NOW!

What does it really mean when a vice president declares that white Americans no longer have to apologize for being white? Ron digs into J.D. Vance's controversial Turning Point USA remarks and the larger political strategy behind white grievance politics. He's joined by Atlanta Journal-Constitution columnist Bill Torpy, whose sharp new op-ed breaks down how race, resentment, and power are being reshaped for today's MAGA audience.Together, Ron and Torpy explore how DEI became a political punching bag, why empathy isn't the same as guilt, and how grievance is being weaponized in modern campaigns.ALSO: more on MTG's NYT piece & reverberations from it, and what's the deal with Nick Shirley's so-called "expose' " of Minnesota's (mischaracterized) Somali-led, supposedly Walz-permitted fraud bombshell? Would it surprise you there's a crap-ton of hot air shrouding a three-year old story that Walz & the Biden DOJ & FBI were already dealing with? More from Minnesota-based political influencer "Off_JaWaggon" to fill in the blanks for me.Tune in to catch the Ron Show weekdays from 4-6pm Eastern time on Georgia NOW!

One year after the passing of President Jimmy Carter, Ron reflects on what Carter's life and legacy still mean for a country struggling with division and distrust.Drawing from a powerful Atlanta Journal-Constitution op-ed, Ron is joined by Linda Peek-Schacht, who served in the Carter White House press office, to talk about civic virtue, truth-telling, and the kind of leadership America may be searching for next. The conversation looks back at Carter's moral imagination, his willingness to confront uncomfortable truths, and how those qualities shaped both his presidency and his life after the White House. Plus, it's the plucky determination of The Carter Center, led by CEO Paige Alexander, that should inspire us all to keep moving forward despite the obstacles - or in their case massive funding cuts - because "the work" still needs to be done. Lastly, Marjorie Taylor Greene's most recent "mainstream media" exposure via the New York Times sees her going "scorched earth" on MAGA and Donald Trump, going even so far as to questioning his faith.  Tune in to catch the Ron Show weekdays from 4-6pm Eastern time on Georgia NOW!

Donald Trump has spent the past several days not on a campaign stage, but inside and around courtrooms, as a web of criminal and civil cases continues to tighten around him. Listeners, I want to walk you straight into what has been unfolding right now.In the federal election interference case in Washington, brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith, prosecutors have been pressing Judge Tanya Chutkan to keep this trial on a firm schedule. According to reporting from The New York Times and CNN, Smith's team has been pushing back hard against Trump's efforts to delay, arguing that voters deserve a jury verdict on whether he criminally tried to overturn the 2020 election before the next major political milestones. Trump's lawyers, by contrast, have continued to insist that the case is a partisan hit job and that they need far more time to review discovery. That clash over timing has dominated hearings in recent days, with Judge Chutkan signaling she will not allow the defense to simply run out the clock.Down in Georgia, in Fulton County, District Attorney Fani Willis's sweeping racketeering case charging Trump and multiple allies with trying to reverse Joe Biden's victory has turned into a marathon of pretrial skirmishes. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and NBC News report that over the last week defense attorneys have peppered Judge Scott McAfee with motions to dismiss, motions to sever, and renewed attacks on the credibility of key state witnesses. Trump himself is not required to appear for most of these arguments, but his presence looms over every exchange, as prosecutors detail phone calls, pressure on state officials, and the now-famous effort to “find” votes.In Florida, the classified documents case has also seen movement. According to the Miami Herald and Politico, Special Counsel Jack Smith's team has used recent hearings to argue that Trump's continued public comments about witnesses and the FBI search at Mar-a-Lago are edging toward obstruction. Judge Aileen Cannon has been under scrutiny for months, with legal analysts at Lawfare and Just Security noting that her rulings on evidence and trial timing could determine whether this case is heard by a jury anytime soon. Trump's lawyers have leaned into claims that the documents were declassified or planted, while prosecutors have focused on surveillance footage and witness testimony that, they say, shows deliberate concealment.Meanwhile, in New York, the aftershocks of earlier trials are still being felt. The civil fraud judgment obtained by New York Attorney General Letitia James, which, as reported by the Associated Press and The Washington Post, found that Trump and the Trump Organization inflated asset values for years, has morphed into a battle over money and control. Recent filings have centered on how fast the state can collect hundreds of millions of dollars and what limits will be placed on Trump's ability to run his real estate empire in New York. Those financial pressures hang over every other case.Layered on top of all this, Supreme Court litigation involving the Trump administration's current actions has kept his legal team shuttling between lower courts and the high court. According to coverage by SCOTUSblog and Lawfare, emergency appeals over executive power, immigration, and the removal of independent agency officials have produced a rapid-fire series of shadow docket orders. One such case, Trump v. Slaughter, was argued this month, with Oyez and the Supreme Court's own docket noting that the justices are again being asked to define the reach of presidential power.Taken together, the past few days have not been about one trial, but about a landscape where Donald Trump's political future, personal fortune, and even his freedom are being tested, line by line, in legal filings and courtroom arguments.Thank you for tuning in, and come back next week for more.

Listeners, in courtrooms across America, Donald Trump's legal saga is still unfolding, and the past few days have shown how tightly his political future is tied to these trials.In New York, the hush money criminal case that led to Donald Trump's felony convictions earlier this year continues to shape what happens next. After a jury in Manhattan found him guilty of falsifying business records connected to payments to adult film actor Stormy Daniels, the focus has shifted from the drama of trial testimony to the grind of appeals and sentencing strategy. Major outlets like the New York Times and CNN have reported that Trump's lawyers are pressing arguments that the case was politically motivated and that key testimony from Michael Cohen, Trump's former fixer, should never have been trusted. At the same time, New York prosecutors under District Attorney Alvin Bragg are emphasizing to the courts that a jury heard the evidence and spoke clearly.In Georgia, the election interference case brought by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis remains a slow burn rather than a daily spectacle. According to reporting from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and Associated Press, recent hearings have focused less on the explosive racketeering charges and more on pretrial motions: what evidence can come in, which co-defendants will be tried alongside Trump, and how quickly a trial could realistically happen in the thick of a presidential election cycle. Judges in Georgia have been acutely aware, as those outlets note, that every scheduling decision may be read as a political act, even though it is rooted in criminal procedure and logistics.On the federal side, two major criminal cases still hang over Donald Trump: the classified documents case in Florida and the 2020 election interference case in Washington, D.C. The Washington Post and NBC News report that the election interference case, brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith, has been slowed by endless pretrial fights over presidential immunity, privileged communications, and the scope of what jurors would be allowed to hear about January 6. In Florida, in the classified documents case before Judge Aileen Cannon, recent hearings reported by Politico and CBS News have focused on how to handle highly sensitive national security material at trial, with Trump's team arguing for broad access and delays, while prosecutors push to keep the schedule moving.Even the Supreme Court has been pulled into the Trump legal orbit again. CBS News and SCOTUSblog have been covering arguments in Trump v. Slaughter, a case testing whether President Trump can fire Federal Trade Commission commissioner Rebecca Slaughter without the usual “for cause” protections that shield many independent agency officials. In oral arguments, several conservative justices suggested that limiting a president's power to remove such officials may violate the Constitution's separation of powers, while the liberal justices warned that giving Trump nearly unchecked removal power could destabilize agencies far beyond the FTC. A ruling expected in the coming months could reshape how future presidents, not just Trump, control independent regulators.Taken together, these court battles show a former president and current political force fighting on every legal front: criminal, civil, state, federal, and even constitutional at the Supreme Court. Every hearing date, every ruling on evidence, every appellate brief now doubles as both a legal move and a political message, with Trump portraying himself as a target of what he calls a weaponized justice system, and prosecutors and judges insisting they are simply applying long-standing law to an unusually powerful defendant.Thank you for tuning in.

The week in Donald Trump's legal world has felt less like a series of isolated hearings and more like one long, rolling courtroom drama, shifting from New York to Washington and back again, with judges, jurors, and prosecutors all pulling on different threads of the same story.In New York, the civil fraud case that once delivered that massive judgment against Donald Trump and the Trump Organization is now in its post-trial grind, but it is far from over. New York Attorney General Letitia James is still pressing to enforce the judgment, while Trump's lawyers are working every angle on appeal, arguing that Judge Arthur Engoron overreached when he found that Trump, his adult sons, and senior executives systematically inflated the value of properties like Trump Tower and Mar-a-Lago to secure better loans and insurance. Outlets like the New York Times and the Associated Press have noted that the appeal filings in the past few days sharpened their focus on what they call “political bias” by New York state officials, framing the entire case as an effort to drive Trump out of business in his home state. At the same time, the state has been quietly filing its own responses to keep pressure on Trump's assets, setting up a long appellate fight.Down in federal court in Washington, the special counsel election interference case remains technically on track but practically bogged down in pretrial maneuvering. According to recent reporting by CNN and Politico, Trump's team has been leaning heavily on arguments of presidential immunity and First Amendment protection, trying to narrow what Special Counsel Jack Smith can present to a future jury about Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election, the fake electors plan, and the chaos leading up to January 6 at the United States Capitol. Judges on the D.C. Circuit have been working through dense briefing on whether a former president can ever be criminally prosecuted for “official acts,” and in the last few days, legal analysts at Lawfare and Just Security have been dissecting how those arguments might ripple into other Trump cases.At the same time, the classified documents prosecution in Florida has been crawling forward under Judge Aileen Cannon. NBC News and the Washington Post report that the most recent hearings have focused on what evidence can be excluded because of alleged mishandling by the FBI during the search at Mar-a-Lago, and how to protect national security secrets while still giving Trump's team access to the material they say they need to defend him. Prosecutors have kept pressing the core claim: that Trump knowingly kept highly sensitive documents at his private club and then obstructed efforts by the National Archives and the Department of Justice to get them back. Trump's lawyers, in turn, have tried to reframe the case as a dispute over records that should have been handled under the Presidential Records Act rather than as a crime scene.Meanwhile, in Georgia, the state election interference case in Fulton County remains a looming threat even as no trial has begun. According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, defense lawyers for Trump and several co-defendants have spent these last days filing motions to limit the racketeering charges brought by District Attorney Fani Willis, arguing that normal political advocacy is being criminalized. The pressure there is less about a trial date and more about whether the sweeping racketeering structure survives early challenges.Stack all of this together, and what you have over these past few days is a picture of Donald Trump not in a single courtroom showdown, but in a legal siege on multiple fronts, each case feeding into the political and personal narrative he presents to his supporters as he continues to seek power again.Thank you for tuning in, and come back next week for more.

Exploring and Collecting African American History Harriet Tubman is, if surveys are to be trusted, one of the ten most famous Americans ever born. Yet often she's a figure more out of myth than history, often rightly celebrated but seldom understood. Tiya Miles's Night Flyer changes all that, probing the ecological reality of Tubman's surroundings and examining her kinship with other enslaved women who similarly passed through a spiritual wilderness and recorded those travels in profound and moving memoirs. Tiya Miles is the author of eight books, including four prizewinning histories about race and slavery. She is a two-time winner of Yale's Frederick Douglass Prize and a two-time winner of the National Council on Public History Book Award. Her 2021 National Book Award winner, All That She Carried: The Journey of Ashley's Sack, a Black Family Keepsake, was a New York Times bestseller that won eleven historical and literary prizes, including the Cundill History Prize. All That She Carried was named A Best Book of the Year by The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, The Atlanta-Journal Constitution, NPR, Publisher's Weekly, The Atlantic, Time, and more.  Her latest work, Night Flyer: Harriet Tubman and the Faith and Dreams of a Free People, was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award in biography.  Her other nonfiction works include Wild Girls: How the Outdoors Shaped the Women Who Challenged a Nation, The Dawn of Detroit, Tales from the Haunted South, The House on Diamond Hill, and Ties That Bind. Miles publishes essays and reviews in The New York Times, The Boston Globe, The Atlantic, The New York Review of Books, and other media outlets. Miles is also the author of the novel, The Cherokee Rose, a ghost story set in the Native American plantation South. Check out more books by this author at your library. Miles has consulted with colleagues at historic sites and museums on representations of slavery, African American material culture, and the Black-Indigenous intertwined past, including, most recently, the Fabric of a Nation quilt exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Her work has been supported by a MacArthur Foundation "Genius" Award, the Mellon Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Guggenheim Foundation.  Miles was born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, and she is currently the Michael Garvey Professor of History and Radcliffe Alumnae Professor at Harvard University. You can find her online at https://tiyamiles.com/ or on Facebook and Instagram  @TiyaMiles. Interviewer Tammy Cherry has taught at FSCJ as an English professor for 22 years.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is a darling of MAGA. But this week a disagreement with Trump over the Epstein files has seen him brand her as a traitor. Born in 1974 in the suburbs of Georgia, Marjorie Taylor Greene had a conventional upbringing. She graduated from the University of Georgia with a degree in Business Administration, and later owned her family's construction business and a stake in a CrossFit gym. But like so many Americans, Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign was a turning point for Marjorie Taylor Greene. In 2020, the newly-styled ‘MTG' ran for election in her home state, winning a seat to the House of Representatives. Soon she was a recognised name on the national stage, known for her provocative style and endorsement of conspiracy theories. In the years since, MTG has aligned herself so closely with the president that some called her ‘Trump in heels'. But her campaigning for the release of the Epstein files has caused a rift between her and her one-time hero.Stephen Smith spoke to Professor Gina Yannitel Reinhardt, senior POLITICO staff writer Michael Kruse, QAnon expert Gabriel Gatehouse, political scientist Andra Gillespie and Atlanta Journal Constitution columnist Patricia Murphy, about career, her life in politics and what this rift could mean for her future.

Join me as I tell John the heartbreaking cases of Nacole Smith and Betty Brown and we explore the parallel stories of two young victims, the forensics that tied their experiences together, and the long, painful wait for the truth.

Ashley and Albert Debelbot had just put their newborn McKenzy to bed for the first time, but hours later rushed the infant back to the hospital after finding a bump on her forehead. When she died, police concluded the parents harmed her and charged them with murder. Facing an overzealous prosecutor, a partial judge, and ineffective defense attorneys, the Debelbots spent twelve years in prison trying to clear their names. But a new legal team uncovered evidence suggesting McKenzy died from a prenatal injury, not a beating.Season 11 of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's investigative series “Breakdown: Three Days in May” looks into the Debelbots' complicated case. Hosts Bill Rankin and Tamara Stevens recount the investigative rush-to-judgment, the flawed trial, and the evidence pointing to a medical cause of the baby's death—not a criminal one.OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "BREAKDOWN: THREE DAYS IN MAY" BEGIN IN THE FINAL 13 MINUTES OF THIS EPISODE.In Crime of the Week: going nuts!
