    Each house in the New York State legislature released its budget proposal, and both called for raising taxes on wealthy New Yorkers.

    David Waldman remains on chaos cleanup today, as this weekend's spill is a pretty big one. The Iran war is worse than Hell, this war is Trump.  Is the war ending, or is it beginning? Yes.  Have we destroyed and killed enough, or not enough? Yes.  Does Donald K. Trump know what is happening? No.  Does that matter?  Again, no. Does Trump, himself, believe a word that he says?  You could say "both". Did Jeffrey Epstein kill himself? Well, he was certainly asking for it. New Mexico prosecutors are just getting around to searching his property. Then there's Jeff's BFF Donald… so much is known, so little has been proven... or at least proven in court. Then again, the 2020 election has been settled, has been proven, and yet will never be settled or proven. If Dems don't win for 50 years or so, maybe Gops will let this slide. U.S. District Judge Matthew Brann rules that the triumvirate replacing Alina Habba in the District of NJ is illegal. Trump has a new method for determining the brownness of staff noses: Florsheim shoes. Retribution sights are being set again on Cassidy Hutchinson. Following the red yarn from her pushpin we find Alexander Butterfield — who revealed the existence of the Nixon White House taping system to the world (and more recently befriended Cassidy Hutchinson during the January 6th congressional probe), dead at 99, nutter Barry Loudermilk, who led pre-Jan 6 tours around the Capitol, and Marjorie Traitor Greene, soon to be replaced by someone crazier... or possibly not! Darrell Issa isn't running again, which is only good news. Somehow, most liberals still have no idea that the NY Times is a problem. Pssst...  The Jan. 6 plaque honoring Capitol Police has been installed.

    Step into Episode 202 of On The Delo as Delo sits down with Dan Bogert, 10-year Government Affairs veteran at the Arizona Restaurant Association, to pull back the curtain on the policy battles, legislative wins, and behind-the-scenes advocacy that protect Arizona's restaurant industry every single day. From a viral "Free the Scoop" ice cream bill to negotiating directly with the governor's office twice a week through a global pandemic, Dan brings the kind of candid insider knowledge that rarely makes the news but directly shapes how every operator runs their business.The conversation covers a sweeping decade of high-stakes moments: COVID shutdowns, the $4M outdoor dining program, the messy road to getting alcohol-to-go codified into law, now finally simplified as a clean permit as of January 1, 2026, plus the ongoing fight against dram shop liability and the Torres Supreme Court ruling that changed the game. Dan also flags what operators should be watching right now in 2026: the mainstream rise of generic GLP-1 drugs quietly suppressing restaurant traffic, a new Tempe drink-spiking ordinance, and Arizona's shifting labor regulation landscape. They close with a genuine breakdown of why an ARA membership — starting at $495/year — can be one of the most valuable investments a restaurant owner makes, giving operators a strong voice at the Capitol and access to the advocacy that helps protect and shape Arizona's restaurant industry. The episode wraps with a rapid-fire round that reveals Dan was a competitive swimmer who'd choose dishwasher if he ever crossed over to restaurant life.Chapter Guide (Timestamps):(0:00 - 2:04) Intro: Episode 202, Meet Dan Bogert & the Arizona Rain(2:04 - 3:35) Dan's Background: Tempe Native, Wildland Firefighter & Federal Reserve(3:35 - 6:38) Landing at the ARA, Lobbying Life & the Learning Curve(6:38 - 10:38) First Big Win: The Ice Cream Bill & "Free the Scoop"(10:38 - 14:32) COVID-19: Shutdowns, Reopening Guidance & the $4M Outdoor Dining Program(14:32 - 18:40) Alcohol To-Go: AZ To Go Week, Executive Orders & the 2021 Legislative Fix(18:40 - 21:25) What Is an Executive Order?

    I never thought I'd be glued to my screen watching courtrooms turn into battlegrounds, but here we are in the thick of it with Donald Trump facing off in multiple high-stakes trials. Over the past few days, tensions have boiled over in federal court in Washington, D.C., where U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan just slammed down a firm trial date of March 4 for Trump's federal election interference case. According to ABC News reports from the hearing, special counsel Jack Smith's team pushed hard for a January start to deliver justice swiftly to the public, while Trump's attorneys, John Lauro and Todd Blanche, begged for a delay all the way to April 2026, citing a mountain of evidence—over 11.5 million pages from the government's first batch alone.Picture the scene in that courtroom on Monday: Lauro arguing it's a "miscarriage of justice" and a "show trial," not a speedy one, insisting Trump deserves years to sift through documents stacked as high as eight Washington Monuments, as Courthouse News detailed in their coverage. Prosecutor Molly Gaston fired back, revealing how Trump's team had secretly fought in five sealed proceedings from 2022 to 2023 to block grand jury testimony from 14 witnesses. She pointed out much of the discovery overlaps with public records Trump already knows—like his own Truth Social posts, White House files, and Jan. 6 committee transcripts. Judge Chutkan wasn't having it. "You're not going to get two more years," she told Lauro firmly, noting Trump's "considerable resources" and the public's right to a timely resolution. Politico captured the stark clash: Smith's push for January 2024 versus Trump's wild 2.5-year postponement, which Chutkan rejected outright to avoid dragging into post-election chaos.This isn't isolated. Trump's calendar is a legal nightmare. In Manhattan, District Attorney Alvin Bragg has the hush money case locked for late March, tied to payments to Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election. Down in Fulton County, Georgia, DA Fani Willis wants Trump in court on March 4 too, facing 41 counts alongside Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, and David Shafer for election meddling. And don't forget the classified documents clash in Florida under Judge Aileen Cannon, eyed for May. JustSecurity's master calendar tracks it all, showing how these dates pile up amid Trump's campaign.As I watched the ABC11 clip of Chutkan's ruling, it hit me: Trump's team hopes delays let him reclaim the White House and potentially derail federal cases, though state probes like New York's and Georgia's are bulletproof to that. Chutkan even coordinated with the Manhattan judge to manage overlaps, and she's issued a protective order warning Trump against inflammatory Truth Social rants that could taint D.C. jurors. The charges? A criminal scheme to flip 2020 results via fake electors, Justice Department pressure, and Vice President Mike Pence arm-twisting amid the Capitol riot—all to cling to power.These past days feel like the calm before a perfect storm of verdicts. Will March kick off a trial marathon that reshapes everything? Listeners, thanks for tuning in.

    Podcast Segment Description: Rep. Fred Shanks on the ABC Liquor Distribution Crisis & House Bill 2838 FixState Representative Fred Shanks joins Clay Edwards for a straight-talk Capitol update on the ongoing ABC liquor distribution meltdown that's crippling small businesses across Mississippi. Stores are placing orders and prepaying for dozens of cases, only to receive a fraction of what they paid for — leaving thousands of dollars tied up in undelivered inventory. This isn't just about empty shelves; it's hitting restaurants, bars, liquor retailers, tips, employee hours, and local economies hard. The major development? The House just passed House Bill 2838, a game-changing reform now headed to the Senate. Under the bill: If ABC fails to deliver your order on time, liquor stores can immediately bypass the state system and buy directly from private distributors. Stores can still use ABC if they want — or go pick it up themselves. The tax rate drops significantly from 27.5% down to 15% when sourcing outside the ABC system. It opens the door to real free enterprise: stores can team up, negotiate deals, and even source across state lines. The legislation includes a two-year repealer so lawmakers can review and tweak the new system. Shanks reports strong momentum in the Senate and urges listeners to contact their senators to help get it passed. They also touch on the direct-to-consumer spirits shipping bill and how the session has been impacted by other priorities. Raw, insider details straight from the Capitol on the conservative fix Mississippi businesses desperately need. Essential listening for anyone in hospitality or who wants government out of the way.

    I never thought I'd be glued to my screen watching courtrooms turn into battlegrounds, but here we are in early March 2026, and the trials involving Donald Trump are heating up like never before. Just days ago, on March 4, the federal election interference case kicked off in Washington, D.C., under U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan. Special Counsel Jack Smith, leading the charge, accuses Trump of a criminal scheme to overturn the 2020 election results—think fake electors, pressuring Vice President Mike Pence to alter the vote count, and pushing sham investigations through the Justice Department, all while the January 6 riot unfolded at the Capitol. Trump pleaded not guilty back in 2023, calling it political persecution, but now, with jury selection underway, his legal team, including attorneys John Lauro and Todd Blanche, is fighting tooth and nail.Flash back to that tense August 2023 hearing where it all ramped up. Trump's lawyers begged Judge Chutkan for an April 2026 start date—ironically, just weeks from now—citing 11.6 million pages of discovery evidence, everything from National Archives documents to Truth Social posts and House January 6 Committee transcripts. They claimed it was like reviewing stacks as tall as eight Washington Monuments, and rushing it would be a miscarriage of justice, denying Trump effective counsel. Lauro even accused Smith of turning it into a show trial. But Chutkan shot that down, setting March 4, 2024, as the date, saying it balanced preparation time with the public's right to a speedy trial. She told Lauro point-blank, you're not getting two more years. Prosecutors like Molly Gaston pushed back hard, noting 65% of those pages were duplicates or already public, with key docs front-loaded for quick review.It's not just D.C. Overlapping chaos: In New York, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's hush money case, tied to a $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election, was slated for late March 2024 but has dragged with appeals. Down in Georgia, Fulton County DA Fani Willis wants Trump and co-defendants like Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, and David Shafer in court over 41 counts of election interference—her team requested March 4, 2024, too. And don't forget Florida's classified documents mess at Mar-a-Lago, where Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee, pushed it to May 2024. Trump's strategy? Delay, delay, delay—hoping a 2024 win lets him pardon himself on federal charges, though state cases like New York's and Georgia's are bulletproof.These past few days, whispers from ABC News and Courthouse News suggest sealed proceedings from 2022-2023 are resurfacing, with Trump's team fighting grand jury testimony from 14 witnesses. Politico reported the stark clash: Smith gunning for January 2024, Trump eyeing post-election limbo. As of today, March 6, the D.C. trial's in full swing, witnesses lining up, and Trump's Truth Social rants risking contempt under Chutkan's protective order against inflammatory statements.

    What is the cost of speaking out against Christian nationalism? In 2024, Rob Reiner came on the podcast to talk about a film he produced, called "God & Country." In this episode from our archives, Amanda Tyler talks with Reiner and Dan Partland, the director of the film. "God & Country" discusses the dangers of Christian nationalism to the country, to the faith, and to pluralism.  This program originally aired January 18, 2024 SHOW NOTES Segment 1 (starting at 02:22): Rob Reiner and Dan Partland on Christian nationalism Released in February 2024, "God & Country" is available to watch on several streaming platforms. You can learn more at GodAndCountryTheMovie.com. About the guests: Dan Partland, the director of the movie, is a veteran documentary producer and director for film and television. His work includes several landmark nonfiction features and series over the past three decades, and he's a two-time Emmy winner for best nonfiction series. Rob Reiner was a producer of the film. He first came to fame as a two-time Emmy award winning actor in the landmark television series "All in the Family." He went on to become an acclaimed director of some of the most popular and influential motion pictures in American film history, and he remained a dedicated political activist until his death in 2025. The exact phrase "separation of church and state" is not in the U.S. Constitution, but the concept is laid out several times, including Article VI's prohibition on any religious test for office, the First Amendment's prohibition of a government establishment of religion, and the First Amendment's guarantee of the free exercise of religion. Read more in Brent Walker's "Top 5 Myths of the Separation of Church and State."

You can access it here. Dan Partland mentioned The Power Worshippers, a book by Katherine Stewart on the rise of religious nationalism. It serves as a basis for the movie.    Segment 3 (starting at 40:39): Closing Michelle Boorstein covered the screening for The Washington Post in this article: 'God & Country' film spotlights Christian nationalism's threat to democracy Respecting Religion is made possible by BJC's generous donors.

    124. President Trump has abused the presidential pardon

    Article II allows the president to grant pardons for any offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment. The presidential pardon power is among the most absolute authorities granted in the Constitution, and President Donald Trump has abused it. The pardons Trump issued to the 1500 people who took part in the January 6th insurrection have rightfully generated outrage. Those pardons are unprecedented and deeply troubling—particularly in light of the injuries suffered by more than 140 Capitol Hill police officers during the insurrection. Some have argued the pardons were warranted due to supposed unfair prosecution by the Biden administration. But the Department of Justice handled the cases appropriately: charges were brought, trials were held before judges and juries, and juries found guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. There is no evidence federal prosecutors fabricated or suppressed evidence or lied; claims of unfair treatment have not been substantiated.Even though the videos we have all seen of the insurrection show lawless violence, the White House has stated the insurrectionists were actually “peaceful patriotic protesters.”By pardoning the insurrectionists, Trump shamelessly abandoned and showed no concern for the Capitol police officers.Beyond the January 6th cases, over half of the other pardons granted were for white-collar crimes committed by business executives, politicians, and a few billionaires. Court-ordered restitution to victims was wiped out, leaving the victims to pursue civil action on their own.Examples include Trevor Milton, who defrauded investors of $675 million but contributed $1.8 million to Trump's campaign, and Paul Waze, who failed to pay millions in taxes and was pardoned, erasing court-ordered restitution. Other pardons involved individuals connected to Trump's business interests or political allies, raising concerns about the integrity of the process.The pardon of Juan Orlando Hernández, the former President of Honduras convicted of drug smuggling, is particularly perplexing given its contrast with U.S. actions against other foreign leaders. The underlying motivations remain unclear, and the transparency of the process is lacking.While questionable pardons are not new, what sets President Trump apart is the sheer volume. President Biden granted 80 pardons, Trump 144 in his first term, Barack Obama 212 over two terms, George W. Bush 189 over two terms, and Bill Clinton 396 over two terms. Trump surpassed all by granting 1500 pardons on his first day in office in his second term.Other presidents have also issued controversial pardons. Clinton pardoned Mark Rich, whose ex-wife donated sizable sums to Democratic causes, and George W. Bush commuted the sentence of Lewis “Scooter” Libby, convicted of perjury and obstruction of justice. Liz Oyer of the Department of Justice, who oversaw the pardon process, resigned in protest over controversial Trump's decisions and is now an outspoken critic of Trump

Why are men suddenly obsessed with getting stronger, sharper, and more driven?

Clay weighs in on why personal scandals don't matter when results do.   Plus, Dr. Michael Walker from Men's Health of Mississippi breaks down the TRT boom, the hidden dangers of telehealth testosterone, and why getting your levels checked locally with real lab monitoring and full health oversight makes all the difference.   We touch on the failed Sunday liquor sales bill, the new NIL income-tax exemption for college athletes, and what it all means for Mississippi.

    That Shakespeare Life
    Ides of March in Renaissance England

    That Shakespeare Life

    In this episode, we explore what the "Ides" actually meant in ancient Rome and how March 15th transformed from an ordinary—sometimes even festive—date on the Roman calendar into one of history's most infamous days. Jörg Rüpke explains how Romans understood their calendar, what rituals or superstitions may (or may not) have surrounded the Ides, and how news of Caesar's assassination would have spread through the city. We also examine the differences between ancient historical sources and Shakespeare's dramatic choices, from Calpurnia's ominous warnings to the political and religious tensions surrounding tyrannicide. We then turn to Shakespeare's England, asking how Renaissance audiences would have interpreted Roman dates, costumes, and political symbolism on stage. Did Elizabethans already fear March 15th, or did Shakespeare himself help create that association? Along the way, we consider how the play reflects the delicate political climate of Elizabeth I's reign, the moral dangers of overthrowing authority, and why the assassination scene unfolds at "the Capitol" instead of the historically accurate Curia of Pompey.
