Hey folks, due to an annoying technical glitch, I'm just re-releasing this episode. This was some weird backend problem with our hosting.

President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke on Thursday, the first time since Israeli strikes killed seven aid workers with World Central Kitchen in Gaza. Biden reportedly told Netanyahu that an immediate ceasefire was necessary and seemed to condition future U.S. support on improved treatment of Gaza's civilians. Hours later, the White House said Israel agreed to open another border crossing into Gaza so more aid could get into the area. Crooked contributor Max Fisher explains the tonal shift happening in the White House right now and what we could expect to see going forward.Biden heads to Baltimore Friday to assess the damage to the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge. The wreckage has almost completely shut down the Port of Baltimore, which supports tens of thousands of jobs in the region. Baltimore's Democratic Mayor Brandon Scott talks about how the cleanup effort is going and what he hopes to show Biden during his visit.And in headlines: The centrist group No Labels ended its bid to field a 2024 presidential candidate, judges in Florida and Georgia slapped down separate efforts from former President Donald Trump to toss some of his criminal charges, and the first living person to ever receive a kidney transplant from a pig was able to head home after surgery.Show Notes:What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

Former Baltimore mayor Sheila Dixon joins us to discuss her campaign to return to city hall. She is a familiar political figure whose service in city government began nearly 40 years ago. A Democrat, she represented the 4th District on the City Council for 12 years beginning in 1987. She later served as the President of the City Council from 1999 until 2007, and then became Mayor in January of that year when Martin O'Malley was elected governor. After reelection to that position, her term was cut short when she resigned in early 2010 as part of an Alford Plea in a perjury case. Currently, she works with the MD Minority Contractor's Association.Email us at midday@wypr.org, tweet us: @MiddayWYPR, or call us at 410-662-8780.

It's Midday with the Mayor.  As he does each month*, Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott joins Tom Hall for an unrehearsed conversation about key issues on the city's agenda. Top officials in the city are at loggerheads about a deal that the Scott Administration negotiated with BGE to manage the city's elaborate, 741-mile underground conduit system, which houses electric and fiber optic cables for BGE and other companies. The draft agreement was first reported in January by the Baltimore Brew. After we hear from the Mayor today, we'll hear from the other two city-wide elected officials in Baltimore: Comptroller Bill Henry and Council President Nick Mosby, both of whom oppose the deal. On Wednesday, March 1, the Board of Estimates was scheduled to vote for the second time on the deal, but that vote has been delayed until April 5th. The Board of Estimates voted to approve the deal on February 15. The Comptroller and Council President skipped that meeting, thinking their absence would leave the board without a quorum. But the remaining three members of the board, the Mayor and his two appointees, voted without the two opposing members. Henry and Mosby assert that that vote is not valid because they did not participate. City Solicitor Ebony Thompson, one of the people voting for the measure, declared in a legal opinion that the vote was, in fact, valid. The Mayor, the Council President and the Comptroller disagree about several aspects of this deal. We talk with each of them today. (Tom's interviews with the City Comptroller and City Council president are combined in a separate Web post/podcast). And we start with Mayor Brandon Scott, who joins us on Zoom during a break in his visit to Northwood Elementary School, the Baltimore City public school on Loch Raven Boulevard. *Scheduling conflicts prevented the Mayor from joining Midday in February.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tom's Midday Newsmaker guest today is Shantay Jackson, the Director of the Baltimore Mayor's Office of Neighborhood Safety and Engagement (MONSE). Director Jackson is in charge of implementing the Mayor's plan to reduce violence in Baltimore City. At the heart of that plan is the GVRS, or Group Violence Reduction Strategy, a pilot of which was begun last year in the Western District. MONSE has announced that it will be expanded to include other areas of the city soon. Director Shantay Jackson joins us on Zoom from her office in City Hall. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We begin the hour today with Midday with the Mayor, and another of Tom's monthly conversations with Baltimore City Mayor Brandon Scott about key issues facing the city and residents of Charm City. Among the topics on the agenda today: the city's new police districts; some progress in reducing gun violence; continuing concerns about the city's wastewater treatment facilities; and the mayor's latest allocations of funds from the federal American Rescue Plan.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today on Midday, another edition of our election-year series, Conversations with the Candidates, 2022. In the race for Governor, Democrats nominated Wes Moore, a popular author and non-profit executive, making his first run for public office. Republicans voted for Dan Cox, an election denier and acolyte of Donald Trump. Mr. Moore is heavily favored to win, but at a unity rally in Silver Spring on Monday, Democrats vowed not to take anything for granted, and to run vigorous campaigns up and down the ballot. Mr. Moore and Del. Cox will not be the only candidates on the ballot. There are five registered parties in Maryland. In addition to Democrats and Republicans, Libertarians, Green Party and Working Class candidates may appear on general election ballots, along with Independents. This year, the Green Party has nominated Nancy Wallace, a lawyer and environmentalist. The working class candidate is David Harding, who ran unsuccessfully for Baltimore Mayor in 2020. An independent named Kyle Sefcik will be on the ballot as well. The Libertarian Party of Maryland's candidate is David Lashar, who is Tom's guest today. David Lashar is an IT executive who served for as the Chief Information Officer at the MD Department of Health, where he later served as the Chief Operating Officer and Chief of Staff. His running mate is Christiana Logansmith, a Navy veteran and businesswoman. This is Mr. Lashar's second try at public office. He ran as a Libertarian for Congress against John Sarbanes in 2018. David Lashar is 59 years old. He holds a BA from Dartmouth College in Russian Studies and an MBA from Carnegie Mellon University. He lives in Annapolis. He and his wife Margaret are the parents of a teenage daughter. David Lashar joins us today in Studio A.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This is his third try for public office. He ran for State's Attorney in 2018, and he ran for Baltimore Mayor in 2020.

A fourth candidate, Roya Hannah has announced her intention to run in the general election as an independent. Mr. Vignarajahserved as a federal prosecutor at the U.S. Attorney's Office in Baltimore.

Today on Midday, we are going to talk about the case of Keith Davis, Jr., who is accused by the Baltimore State's Attorney of murdering Kevin Jones in 2015. Mr. Davis has already been tried four times for this murder. Two of those trials ended in hung juries. The other two, including the most recent one, ended in guilty verdicts that were overturned. Mr. Davis remains in jail while awaiting his fifth trial, which is currently scheduled for May, although it could be delayed. This case has garnered a lot of public attention, largely due to the efforts of Mr. Davis' wife, Kelly, and a passionate and vocal group of advocates who for years have been critical of State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby and the prosecutors in her office. These advocates have been working to bring the details of the case to wide attention. One of those advocates is DeRay Mckesson, who joins us today. DeRay is an activist and co-founder of Campaign Zero, an organization founded to combat police violence. Campaign Zero has taken-up the cause of Mr. Davis, claiming that Ms. Mosby's prosecution is due to what the group calls “vindictiveness and personal and political animus.” That was the language used in a motion to dismiss the case filed on March 8 by Deborah Katz Levi, the Director of Special Litigation at the MD office of the Public Defender. We made the State's Attorney's Office aware of the fact that we would be talking about this case today on Midday. Citing that it is an on-going legal matter, they declined to participate in the conversation. Here's what's happened in the case so far: Kevin Jones was shot to death in June of 2015, as he walked to work at Pimlico Race Course in Northwest Baltimore. In 2016, Keith Davis was tried on charges of armed robbery of a cab driver, a charge for which he was acquitted. He was, however, convicted of illegal possession of a firearm and sentenced to five years in prison. In 2017, he was charged in the murder of Kevin Jones. Davis' trial in May of that year ended in a hung jury. He was re-tried in that case several months later. In that trial, he was found not guilty of first-degree murder, but guilty of second-degree murder. That verdict was overturned because the court found that the prosecution had not informed the defense and the jury of the background of one of the witnesses, a jailhouse informant. A third trial, in June of 2018, also ended with a hung jury. A fourth trial, in February of 2020 ended in a guilty verdict. Mr. Davis, who maintained his innocence, was sentenced to 50 years in prison. That guilty verdict was overturned because of problems with questions that were posed to potential jurors. Each of these trials were presided over by different judges, and prosecuted by different lawyers from the State's Attorney's office. Last December, Mr. Davis turned down a plea bargain that would have reduced his sentence to 15 years. As mentioned earlier, Mr. Davis remains in jail, awaiting a fifth trial. We do not know whether or not Keith Davis killed Kevin Jones. There is certainly ample evidence that he did not, but two juries have been convinced by evidence at trial that he is responsible for Mr. Jones' death. Ms. Mosby has said that prosecutors are pursuing this case to bring justice to Mr. Jones' family. Mr. Davis' supporters are seeking justice for him, as well. (In an unrelated case, Mr. Davis has been charged with attempted murder for an alleged fight he had in jail with another inmate. That fight took allegedly place in June 2020. Mr. Davis wasn't charged until May, 2021. The delay is cited by Mr. Davis' lawyer as proof that Baltimore State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby waited until Mr. Davis was granted another trial in the other murder case before charging him with something else. Again, this is according to a motion to dismiss his case filed on his behalf.) Host Tom Hall notes that he has not attended the trials, and does not claim to know every detail of this complicated case. Tom has, however, read recent motions filed to the court by the State's Attorney's office and the public defender, Deborah Katz Levi, on behalf of Mr. Davis. DeRay Mckesson is here to explain why he and his organization, Campaign Zero, think the case against Mr. Davis should be dismissed. DeRay is the host of the Pod Save the People Podcast and the author of On the Other Side of Freedom:  The Case for Hope.  In 2016, he was a candidate in the Democratic primary for Baltimore Mayor. Tom Hall has known DeRay for several years, and believes him to be a thoughtful advocate for whatever causes he champions. He is happy to give him the opportunity to share his perspective and to respond to some of the points the State's Attorneys have made in the motions they filed in this case a couple of weeks ago. DeRay Mckesson joins us now on our digital line. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Almost two years into the pandemic, the threat of eviction and homelessness looms large for financially insecure families. Although Baltimore got millions in federal funds to forestall evictions, Karen Wabeke of the Homeless Persons Representation Project says her group is seeing more and more landlords refuse to take part, "We, along with partners in the Baltimore Renters United coalition, have advocated for the city to begin making direct to tenant payments. We have had clients who were evicted because their landlords refused the funding." Find information about emergency rental assistance across Maryland here. Get information about rental and security deposit assistance in Baltimore City here.

In 2026, the United States, Canada and Mexico will share the stage of the largest World Cup Soccer Tournament in history.

(This conversation was originally aired on July 20, 2021) Welcome to this archive edition of Midday.  Today, a conversation about Nancy Pelosi, the most influential and powerful woman in American political history. Born and raised in a tight-knit Italian family in a home on Albemarle Street in the Little Italy neighborhood of Baltimore, Nancy D'Alesandro Pelosi is the daughter of a three-term Baltimore Mayor, and a politically savvy and adroit mother. She learned politics early on, but she didn't hold elective office until her mid-40s. First elected to Congress in 1987, she was elected Speaker of the House 20 years later; second in line to the Presidency, and the first woman to hold that position. Her moral compass was shaped by her Catholic faith, and her political instincts were honed by her experience of motherhood. Democratic allies marvel at her mastery of the behind-the-scenes machinations of political sausage making. Republicans, not so much. In 2018, the GOP spent more than $65 million dollars in ads attacking her, and during the insurrection at the Capital this year, Trump supporters chanted her name and ransacked her office. Speaker Pelosi is the subject of an assiduously reported, fascinating and best-selling book by Susan Page, the award-winning Washington Bureau Chief of USA Today. Page interviewed Pelosi in ten different sessions, and she spoke to more than 150 others to compile a portrait of the Speaker that is revelatory and insightful. The book is called Madam Speaker:  Nancy Pelosi and the Lessons of Power.   Susan Page joined Tom on Midday's digital line from Washington, DC, in July. Because our conversation was pre-recorded, we aren't able to take any new comments or questions. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
