Wednesday was jam-packed with new developments on and around the Democratic campaign trail. The White House announced that President Biden tested positive for COVID. Biden also appeared to give himself room to exit the presidential race, saying in an interview with BET News he'd reconsider running if “some medical condition” emerged. However, Biden remained defiant and said he had no plans to drop out. California Congressman Adam Schiff became the most high-profile Democrat to publicly call on Biden to exit the race, telling The Los Angeles Times he has “serious concerns” over whether Biden can beat former President Trump in November. And the Democratic National Committee announced it plans to move forward with a virtual roll call vote to officially nominate Biden ahead of the convention, despite calls to drop it amid the ongoing debate within the party over the president's candidacy. Politics reporter Todd Zwillich breaks down what it all means.And in headlines: Special Counsel Jack Smith appealed the dismissal of Trump's classified documents case, investigators looking into the assassination attempt against Trump at a rally this weekend reportedly told lawmakers that Secret Service spotted the gunman on a nearby roof roughly 20 minutes before shots were fired, and ‘Shogun' and ‘The Bear' lead this year's Emmy nominations. 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

In recent years, an influx of racially motivated attacks against people of color in local communities has made national headlines: and the cases of George Floyd, Breanna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery have sparked international conversations. In today's age, exposure to racial injustice is more accessible than ever with the rise of video recording and the intimacy of technology. The power to spread information globally, all with the touch of a button, is reshaping the civil rights movement and pushing social justice forward. Marc Lamont Hill and Todd Brewster are both award-winning journalists and bestselling authors who reveal the common thread between these harrowing incidents. They recognize that technology has irrevocably changed our conversations about race and, in many instances, tipped the levers of power in favor of the historically disadvantaged. In their newest book, Seen and Unseen: Technology, Social Media, and the Fight for Racial Justice, Hill and Brewster draw on the increasing role of media in the racial justice movement to discover why it took the horrifying footage of the murder of George Floyd—despite a wealth of video evidence of previous police brutality—to trigger outrage. The book is a riveting exploration of how the power of visual media has shifted the narrative on race over the last few years and reignited the fight toward justice. Join us as co-authors Marc Lamont Hill and Todd Brewster explore the powerful role technology plays as a driver of history, identity, and racial consciousness.

0:09: This is the game where we find out if this is the Bull***t. A Woman is arrested for putting fake KKK memos in her neighbor's mailboxes. A Call Center Worker and three other people were running a hotel scam on the government's dollar. And A 55 woman living in PA, drives to South Jersey, to kill her father and his girlfriend because she is no longer in the will. These crime stories are a mouthful and worth a listen on America's favorite intro: This is the BS.11:31: Intro/Takeoff12:59: Is it just me or has A.D.D. caused Black America to have selective hearing as well? I only ask because the brilliance of Dave Chappelle have made groups of people unhinged, jealous, bitter, and determined to cancel someone who has made keen opinions based on his observations and through educating himself.

Vice President Kamala Harris suggested during an interview Friday with BET News that voter ID laws will make it more difficult for those voters who do not live near Kinko's or OfficeMax to vote. "In some people's mind, that means you're going to have to Xerox or photocopy your ID to send it in to prove who you are. Well, there are a whole lot of people, especially people who live in rural communities, who don't -- there's no Kinkos, there's no OfficeMax near them," she warned. "Of course people have to prove who they are," Harris said, but "not in a way that makes it almost impossible for them to prove who they are."

Join Marc Lamont Hill, Mitchell Plitnick, & Noura Erakat for a launch event and discussion of the important new book, Except for Palestine. ———————————————— “For too long, many have championed the rights and liberties of oppressed peoples here and abroad, but remained silent on Palestinian freedom, or even worse, supported U.S. policies that render Palestinian humanity and suffering invisible. This clear and courageous book is a clarion call for moral integrity and political consistency.” —Cornel West In their major new work of daring criticism and analysis, Except for Palestine, scholar and political commentator Marc Lamont Hill and Israel-Palestine expert Mitchell Plitnick spotlight how holding fast to one-sided and unwaveringly pro-Israel policies reflects the truth-bending grip of authoritarianism on both Israel and the United States.

Join members of the COVID19 Policing Project in conversation with Marc Lamont Hill on pandemic policing and new ways forward to safeguard the health and well-being of Black communities most devastated by coronavirus, policing, and economic crisis. "The way forward through the raging pandemic and devastating economic crisis doesn't lie in more surveillance, policing and punishment of marginalized communities – it lies in the demands to stop pouring money and resources into policing and start pouring resources into people and communities." This conclusion to a Guardian op-ed penned by the Community Resource Hub COVID-19 Policing Project is drawn from their recently released report, Unmasked: Impacts of Pandemic Policing, documenting police violence and racial disparities in enforcement of public health orders. It should serve as a guiding principle to the incoming Biden administration as it takes leadership of a nation devastated by the impacts of a pandemic raging out of control, instead of doubling down on the policing practices that are the subject of Haymarket's recent book by Marc Lamont Hill: We Still Here: Pandemic, Policing, Protest & Possibility. ---------------------------------------------------- Speakers: Marc Lamont Hill is currently the host of BET News.

Today on Sojourner Truth: In addition to the on-going protests against racism and police violence, following the deaths of Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, new protests broke out this past weekend after the June 12 police killing of unarmed Black man 27-year-old Rayshard Brooks in Atlanta, Georgia. Mr. Brooks was a father of four and had just celebrated his daughters birthday hours before being murdered. And, over the weekend it emerged that on Wednesday, June 10, the body of a 24-year-old Black man Robert Fuller was found hanging from a tree close to City Hall in Palmdale, California. Furthermore, news is only now beginning to emerge about the body of 38-year-old Malcolm Harsch, another Black man, was found hanging from a tree close to a public library in nearby Victorville, California. Mr. Harsch was 38 years old. Both hangings took place in cities in Southern California. All of this comes amid more racist maneuvers by Donald Trump. To add insult to injury Donald Trump announced that he will hold a rally in Tulsa Oklahoma, where a white riot on May 31 and June 1, 1921 left 300 Black people dead and the entire Black area, businesses, churches, homes burned to the ground. Trump had first announced that the rally would be held on Friday, June 19, the very day that marked the end of slaver in the U.S., and is known as Freedom Day among Black communities across the country. Amid widespread opposition, Trump was forced to delay the event to Saturday June 20, but that is the very day that the Poor Peoples Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival will hold its long planned Virtual Poor Peoples Mass March and Rally. And there is more. Trump announced that he is moving the Republican Presidential Convention from Charlotte NC to Jacksonville Florida, this coincides with the 60th anniversary of the city's KKK race riot. Referred to as Ax Handle Saturday, on August 27, 1960, KKK members in the hundreds chased and viciously beat Black people with ax handles and baseball bats. This is where and when Donald Trump chose to give his acceptance speech for what he hopes will be another 4 years in office. As part of our ongoing coverage of this critical time in US history, we bring you a recent webinar held by Haymarket Books entitled, The Fire This Time: The New Uprising Against Racism and Police Violence.

Amid widespread opposition, Trump was forced to delay the event to Saturday June 20, but that is the very day that the Poor Peoples Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival will hold its long planned Virtual Poor Peoples Mass March and Rally. And there is more. Trump announced that he is moving the Republican Presidential Convention from Charlotte NC to Jacksonville Florida, this coincides with the 60th anniversary of the city's KKK race riot. Referred to as Ax Handle Saturday, on August 27, 1960, KKK members in the hundreds chased and viciously beat Black people with ax handles and baseball bats. This is where and when Donald Trump chose to give his acceptance speech for what he hopes will be another 4 years in office. As part of our ongoing coverage of this critical time in US history, we bring you a recent webinar held by Haymarket Books entitled, The Fire This Time: The New Uprising Against Racism and Police Violence.

Biden shows where Black Americans rate in the Democrat party. The KKK still runs the Democrat party and politicians show how they are not waiting for them to submit. Uncle toms vote Democrat in elections and the party want to replace these voters with Hispanics in the future. Why help people that vote blindly. Biden placed the Black Americans in jail and now wants all Blacks to vote Democrat so he can place Hispanics and Whites in the same place. Elites rule the Democrat party, and Hollywood helps sell the message. America was formed on the process of sending the tyrants home. Lets send all D.C. home and save America.
