Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Church Protest Precedence The arrest of an organizer tied to the anti‑ICE church disruption in Minnesota, announced by Attorney General Pam Bondi. The hosts react to DOJ confirmation that Nekima Levy-Armstrong (identified by Bondi as a key organizer) was arrested for allegedly coordinating an attack on a church service in St. Paul. Clay and Buck emphasize the speed and clarity of the DOJ’s action, praising the Department of Justice for responding quickly with a charge backed by evidence rather than performative outrage. They contrast the arrest with pre‑arrest media appearances in which the organizer claimed the church protest was “peaceful,” arguing that video evidence flatly contradicts that narrative. Hour 1 of the program breaks down the legal foundation for the arrest, including laws protecting religious services from disruption. Buck explains that statutes originally designed to protect churches—historically justified by Democrats as safeguards against extremist interference—are now being enforced against left‑wing activists. Clay and Buck argue this represents an “open‑and‑shut” case where probable cause is clear, while cautioning that conviction still depends on a Minneapolis jury. Black Lives Mattered to Trump Clay points out one of the most underreported accomplishments of Trump’s second term: a historic drop in violent crime nationwide. Citing newly released data, the hosts highlight that the U.S. murder rate has fallen to its lowest level since 1900, with murders down 21% year‑over‑year, the largest single‑year decline ever recorded. They spotlight staggering city‑level declines, including Washington, D.C. and Omaha, both seeing murders drop by roughly 40%, and argue these results reflect a nationwide return to law‑and‑order policies. Clay and Buck stress that these statistics carry particular significance for Black communities, noting that reductions in violent crime overwhelmingly translate into lives saved among populations most affected by homicide. Clay argues that Trump has, by policy outcomes rather than rhetoric, done more to save Black lives than any modern president—an assertion they say stands in direct contradiction to activist narratives that oppose enforcement‑focused policing. FOFO Multiple Minneapolis church protesters have now been arrested, with Attorney General Pam Bondi announcing additional suspects taken into custody. Clay and Buck focus on reports from CBS News and The Daily Wire that a federal judge refused to sign a criminal complaint allowing Don Lemon to be arrested, despite DOJ efforts. The hosts argue this judicial refusal underscores a growing concern about politicization within the courts, especially when contrasted with how aggressively Trump allies were previously prosecuted. They note that, despite early attempts to downplay the incident, Democrats appear to have abandoned public defense of the protesters due to the overwhelmingly negative optics of storming a church service. A core discussion in Hour 2 of the program centers on sanctuary city policies and obstruction of immigration enforcement. Clay and Buck explain that Minneapolis leadership—including Mayor Jacob Frey—has openly refused to cooperate with ICE, even in cases involving violent offenders already in custody. The hosts argue this refusal forces federal agents into more visible enforcement actions and directly fuels unrest, while also potentially violating the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution. They emphasize that refusing to enforce federal law is not passive resistance but deliberate obstruction. Mayor Jacob Frey claims ICE operations exist solely to “terrorize” communities. Buck sharply disputes those claims, arguing the mayor is misrepresenting facts and ignoring his own refusal to cooperate with federal authorities. They contrast Frey’s statements with DOJ actions targeting protesters who openly challenged and taunted federal officials, including one individual who dared Attorney General Bondi to arrest him—only to be taken into custody hours later. Davos Drama Humor and commentary about California Governor Gavin Newsom’s failed Davos appearance, before welcoming Katie Zacharia, a California political and legal analyst, to unpack Newsom’s national ambitions and the state of Democratic politics on the West Coast. Zacharia explains that Newsom traveled to Davos largely to troll President Donald Trump, only to be politically sidelined as Trump advanced what she describes as a historic Greenland and Arctic security agreement. The discussion frames Newsom as the Democrats’ likely 2028 presidential front‑runner, despite what Zacharia characterizes as weak policy substance and declining credibility outside coastal blue states. Clay and Buck examine polling odds showing Newsom far ahead of other Democratic contenders and debate whether his polished media style could translate into national electability against potential Republican nominees such as J.D. Vance or Marco Rubio. Hour 3 of the program also explores California’s deep internal struggles, including speculation around potential successors to Newsom such as Eric Swalwell, whom Zacharia argues is politically and legally unviable due to residency issues and extreme policy rhetoric toward ICE. The conversation expands into California’s broader political decline, including discussions of wealth taxes, billionaire flight to states like Florida, high energy costs, and voter identification laws. Zacharia emphasizes that voter ID reform is the most realistic path for Republicans to regain statewide competitiveness in California, calling it an overwhelmingly popular issue even among Democratic voters.

What's your most vivid school memory? Do you remember it as a time of exploration? Was it a place where you could figure out who you were and what you wanted to become?Or did it feel like it wasn't made for you? Did it feel constricting, or like a place with lots of rules about how you had to act and what you couldn't do?Your experience of schools likely depended on the administrators, who your teachers were, how your city or state set up the curriculum, and the resources your school received. Writer Eve L. Ewing argues that experience could also be shaped by who you are.We sit down with Ewing to talk about her new book, "Original Sins: The (Mis)education of Black and Native Children and the Construction of American Racism."What has school meant for students, and who influenced how schools function the way they do? And what are alternatives for how school could work for students?Find more of our programs online.

What's Your Superpower?In this episode of CockTales: Dirty Discussions, Kiki and Medinah tap into reflection, purpose, and grown-woman clarity as they unpack the question: what's your real superpower? From unexpected “God wink” moments to conversations about confidence, imposter syndrome, and walking into rooms knowing you belong, this episode is about recognizing your value without needing permission.The ladies open up about how their strengths show up in work, relationships, and community — and why sometimes it takes a stranger, a producer, or a quiet moment to remind you that you're exactly where you're supposed to be. They also talk about commitment in this season of life, learning how to say no without guilt, setting boundaries that actually protect your peace, and why burnout isn't a badge of honor.In Weird Sex, the conversation turns to curiosity, threesomes, and ethical non-monogamy — breaking down how to talk about fantasies honestly, why curiosity doesn't equal dissatisfaction, and how consent and communication make all the difference.As always, things take a turn into real life: fostering chaotic cats, stepping back from dating, learning new skills, choosing rest, and staying grounded when life feels overwhelming. If you've been questioning your path, feeling stuck, or wondering whether you're doing enough, this episode is a reminder that your presence, your voice, and your energy matter more than you think.Sometimes your superpower isn't loud — it's just consistent.

[Black metal voice] KRRRRRRAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!It's time for something cringe! No, it's not wearing corpse paint. It's far worse: Nick Fuentes, the Tate Brothers, Clavicular, Sneako, the ever insufferable Myron Gaines and a list of random orbiters infested a Miami Beach club to bang Ye's pro-Hitler rap anthem. Jared and Mike talk about that bullshit, alongside Fuentes' alleged monster deal to hawk gold, and his new pivot to Jeffrey Epstein apologia. The hosts also talk about “Nick Sordid,” the new Andy Ngo in town and why he sounds palpably unhinged. And, finally, Mike presents to the class on the genre of black metal, with an emphasis on the Norwegian variation of it. Jared doesn't like it but he learns something new. That has to be worth at least seven figures, don't you think?Unlock this episode by signing up for our Patreon: https://patreon.com/PostingThroughIt

KJ opens up about Andy’s complicated relationships, why boundaries in love matter, and how success doesn’t always translate to emotional maturity. She also shares deeply personal stories about family trauma, forgiveness, and how real-life sibling dynamics mirror what viewers see on screen. Jordan reflects on joining a long-running, well-established cast in Season 10, the responsibility of stepping into such a successful show, and how Sistas continues to evolve while staying grounded in real-life experiences. The conversation expands into Black maternal health, emotional labor, relationship red flags, and why Andy’s flaws make her one of the most relatable — and frustrating — characters on television.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on The Stitch Please Podcast, Lisa tackles one of sewing's most surprisingly controversial topics: notches. That's right those tiny cuts in your pattern that somehow inspire big feelings. Lisa breaks down the three main camps: outward notches (aka outies), inward notches (ennies), and the bold rebels who say “no notches, no rules.”With help from the sewing community and plenty of real talk wisdom, Lisa explores the pros, cons, and emotional baggage of each method plus how she landed on what works best for her own projects. Whether you're team snip, team clip, or team absolutely not, this episode proves that good sewing is less about following rules and more about finding what makes your process smoother and your seams happier.===========Dr. Lisa Woolfork is an associate professor of English specializing in African American literature and culture. Her teaching and research explore Black women writers, Black identity, trauma theory, and American slavery. She is the founder of Black Women Stitch, the sewing group where Black lives matter. She is also the host/producer of Stitch Please, a weekly audio podcast that centers on Black women, girls, and femmes in sewing. In the summer of 2017, she actively resisted the white supremacist marches in her community, Charlottesville, Virginia. The city became a symbol of lethal resurging white supremacist violence. She remains active in a variety of university and community initiatives, including the Community Engaged Scholars program. She believes in the power of creative liberation.Instagram: Lisa WoolforkTwitter: Lisa Woolfork======Stay Connected:YouTube: Black Women StitchInstagram: Black Women StitchFacebook: Stitch Please Podcast--Sign up for the Black Women Stitch quarterly newsletterCheck out our merch hereLeave a BACKSTITCH message and tell us about your favorite episode.Join the Black Women Stitch PatreonCheck out our Amazon Store

In this episode of Selective Ignorance, host Mandii B joined by super producer A-King, journalist Jayson Rodriguez, and Jason “Jah” Lee, deliver a layered conversation that blends breaking news, cultural critique, and sharp humor, beginning with a viral American Airlines emergency landingthat sparks a candid discussion about fear, entitlement, and survival instincts as passengers prioritized carry-on luggage over safety [01:25]. That moment opens a broader examination of common sense in crises and how individual behavior reflects larger societal issues. The episode then shifts to pop culture and current events, including pointed reactions to the Golden Globes and what award-season optics reveal about race, recognition, and media narratives [15:37]. From there, the tone deepens as the hosts unpack the controversy surrounding Morris Brown College, following the firing of its president amid ongoing accreditation struggles [20:27], which leads into Jah’s in-depth breakdown of the state of HBCUs and higher education funding in America [01:04:23]. He highlights the alarming reality that nearly 60% of HBCUs risk losing federal funding due to high student loan default rates, connecting these systemic challenges to broader conversations about the American Dream, institutional support, and cultural responsibility. The episode later pivots to lighter but still culturally revealing territory with a discussion of Kirstie Scott’s divorce and the rigid dating norms within Jehovah’s Witness culture, offering context on how faith, relationships, and public perception collide [01:08:27]. The conversation closes with a humorous yet critical take on Cam Newton’s podcast blunder, using the moment to interrogate media representation, stereotypes, and the scrutiny placed on Black men in public-facing platforms [01:21:35]. Balancing serious discourse on education, race, and institutional power with timely celebrity commentary, this episode delivers an engaging, thought-provoking listen that encourages awareness, accountability, and cultural literacy.

Dow Drops 700. Don't Protest Inside a Church. Oil From Venezuela Ships. Chris Pratt or Lindsey Vonn for MN Gov? Impeach Trump. Indiana an Example for America. Measles Is Back. ICE Crosses Another Line. Independent Americans host Paul Rieckhoff returns with an unfiltered conversation cutting through the turmoil of Trump's America, a Greenland crisis, and a shaken NATO to focus on a pivotal political battle: Mississippi's independent U.S. Senate candidate, Ty Pinkins. From New York to the Mississippi Delta, Rieckhoff explores how this historic campaign could disrupt Washington's balance of power—without a Democrat or Republican label. Pinkins shares what he's heard across all 82 Mississippi counties, where voters are rejecting “the same two parties saying the same things.” A Black combat veteran and Delta native, he's emerging as a serious challenge to an entrenched MAGA incumbent. He shatters the myth of “splitting the vote” in a state where Republicans have dominated for decades and argues that independents now represent the most energized political force in the country. Rieckhoff and Pinkins also connect the global stakes—from Trump's destructive foreign moves on Greenland, NATO, and Venezuela—to local crises like hospital closures, job losses, and political neglect across Mississippi. Drawing from his deployments and three-year grassroots tour, Pinkins outlines an independent message built on courage, accountability, and inclusion, aimed at uniting a multiracial, multigenerational coalition ready to redefine Mississippi—and America's—political future. Because every episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff breaks down the most important news stories--and offers light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows.

A few years ago, a small, private school in an underprivileged Black community in Louisiana made national headlines for propelling student after student into elite universities like Harvard and Yale. But according to the new book "Miracle Children," the school's success was built on lies and threats. Amna Nawaz spoke with the writers, Katie Benner and Erica Green.

Heather McGhee is a leading expert in economic and social policy and the New York Times–bestselling author of The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together. A former president of the think tank Demos, McGhee is a frequent commentator on national affairs and now serves as chair of the board of Color of Change, the nation's largest online racial justice organization. McGhee explores one of the central tragedies of American life: how a majority of white Americans have historically chosen to "drain the public pool," both literally and metaphorically, rather than share it with Black and brown Americans. This zero-sum, winner-take-all politics has left the nation less prosperous, less safe, less humane, and concentrated extraordinary wealth and power in the hands of plutocrats while undermining the American Dream for everyone else. She also reflects on the enduring lessons of the Black Freedom Struggle for resisting authoritarianism and building a more inclusive and democratic future in the Age of Trump and beyond. In this special Martin Luther King Jr. Day episode, Chauncey shares Dr. King's sermon on navigating fear in dark and dangerous times. WHERE CAN YOU FIND ME?

The struggle for labor across the color line has often been credited to white activists. However, as sociologist Cedric de Leon argues, the black labor movement, independently organized outside of the official union movement, propelled such efforts. He discusses the black labor movement's divisions, including in the face of the state's attempt to destroy it. Cedric de Leon, Freedom Train: Black Politics and the Story of Interracial Labor Solidarity UC Press, 2025 The post The Black Labor Movement appeared first on KPFA.

We're taking a trip back to the 90s and exploring the lives of single Black women and how their stories still show up in media 30 years later. This episode comes from NPR's Books We've Loved podcast series. Brittany joined hosts Andrew Limbong and B.A. Parker to revisit Terry McMillan's classic novel, Waiting to Exhale. The three get into how the book was a blueprint for Sex & The City and how it depicts the complexity of Black women's lives - and echoes the lives of Black women today.Support Public Media.
