Today on the Matt Walsh Show, New York City has abolished its jaywalking laws. Now, New Yorkers are free to get run over in the street, all in the name of “racial equity.” This is just a small taste of the kind of madness we'll see nationwide if Kamala is elected. Also, Donald Trump somehow continues to up his troll game. His latest stunt is the funniest one yet. And, Democrats are running ads claiming that Republicans want to ban porn nationwide. Click here to join the member-exclusive portion of my show: https://bit.ly/4bEQDy6 Ep.1476 - - - DailyWire+: My hit documentary “Am I Racist?” Is NOW AVAILABLE on DailyWire+!

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: 5:00pm- While speaking with Charlie Kirk and Turning Point Action, vice presidential candidate JD Vance stated: “When a Cheney is telling you how you should live your lives and how you should vote, you should run in the opposite direction...Don't reward the party of Liz Cheney, Dick Cheney, and Kamala Harris. Reward the party of Tulsi Gabbard, Elon Musk, and Donald Trump." 5:15pm- CNBC anchor Joe Kernen asked New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy which Harris-Walz policies he endorsed: Ending the filibuster? Decriminalizing illegal border crossings? Exorbitant levels of taxation? Murphy accused Kernen of pushing Republican talking points. Also, did anyone else notice that the Governor is having a particularly bad hair day? 5:30pm- With just days before the election, Senator Bob Casey is distancing himself from Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and the Democrat Party—does this mean his internal polling data shows Donald Trump and Republicans are doing well in Pennsylvania? 5:55pm- Rich has to leave the show a bit early—he's going to be on Fox News with Bret Baier later tonight!

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (10/31/2024): 3:05pm- On Thursday, Donald Trump held a campaign rally in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The Real Clear Politics polling averages currently have Kamala Harris up 7-points in New Mexico—but could Trump's internal polling suggest there's a chance the state is in play? 3:10pm- While appearing on The View, Harris-Walz campaign surrogate Mark Cuban claimed that you “never” see former President Donald Trump surrounded by “strong, intelligent women.” In response, Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) posted a video to social media disputing Cuban's claim and calling him “an out of touch billionaire.” 3:30pm- Congressman Dan Meuser—Representative for Pennsylvania's 9th Congressional District—joins The Rich Zeoli Show with just five-days until the election.

Meuser is a member of the U.S. House Committee on Financial Services and a member of the House Committee on Small Business. 4:00pm- Later tonight, Rich will be on Fox News with Bret Baier—but do you like his tie selection? Matt says it looks too long. 4:30pm- Lee Zeldin—Former U.S. Congressman & Former Candidate for Governor of New York—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his editorial for The New York Post (co-written by Speaker of the House Mike Johnson), “Why the House Speaker is Barnstorming Blue New York in Campaign 2024.” You can read the op-ed here: https://nypost.com/2024/10/30/opinion/why-the-house-speaker-is-barnstorming-blue-new-york-in-campaign-2024why-the-gop-house-speaker-is-barnstorming-blue-new-york/ 4:40pm- CNN Senior Data Analyst Harry Enten said of a potential Donald Trump Election Day victory, “you can't say you weren't warned”—noting that, according to polling data, Trump support seems to be surging at the most crucial time. 5:00pm- While speaking with Charlie Kirk and Turning Point Action, vice presidential candidate JD Vance stated: “When a Cheney is telling you how you should live your lives and how you should vote, you should run in the opposite direction...Don't reward the party of Liz Cheney, Dick Cheney, and Kamala Harris. Reward the party of Tulsi Gabbard, Elon Musk, and Donald Trump." 5:15pm- CNBC anchor Joe Kernen asked New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy which Harris-Walz policies he endorsed: Ending the filibuster?

Oct. 29, 2024 - We talk with Alexi Ashe Meyers, the director of anti-trafficking policy at Sanctuary for Families, about the increased brothel activity in a Queens neighborhood and discuss why she thinks the response to situations like this is to decriminalize the role of prostitutes, while enforcing criminal penalties against people who patronize sex workers or profit off them.

In Episode 47, Mark Graban and Jamie Flinchbaugh attempt another experiment in format, covering a range of quick-hit topics in the news rather than a single deep dive. As always, we welcome feedback. Before we got to that, however, our whiskey theme was also new, or new to us: we each picked a whiskey we hadn't tried before. Jamie's pick was Four Walls Irish American Whiskey, a celebrity whiskey from a group of stars from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, including Rob McElhenney, who famously co-owns Wrexham AFC, a 3rd tier football club in the UK, along with Ryan Reynolds. Mark's pick was inspired by his My Favorite Mistake podcast with the founder of Jeptha Creed with their Bloody Butcher's Creed 4 Grain Bourbon Whiskey, made from Bloody Butcher red heirloom corn grown on their own farm.  In the news, we covered four topics. First was Kentucky's decision to decriminalize medical errors, which allows healthcare providers to focus on providing care the best method possible and not going to jail just for a mistake, lessons from the RaDonda Vaught case in Tennessee. Next, while not really news, we discussed Jamie's Forbes article about Hanlon's Razor, including what a razor is, what it has to do with the lean principle of Respect for People, and how it can help choose a more productive path of action. Third we explore the Labor Notes' article declaring the end of lean production. Of course, we disagree, although both motivation and validly bad lean practices both contribute to their perspectives. Finally, we cover a Wall Street Journal article titled The Jiggle Is Up, about how companies are defeating attempts to manipulate work with mouse jigglers. There is so much wrong here, from culture to process to metrics, that we start to unpack.  We finally end, with July being so hot seemingly everywhere, with our favorite summer refreshing non-whiskey cocktails. But, you'll have to either listen to or skip to the end of hear our choices.  Jamie's pick: Four Walls Irish American Whiskey Mark's pick: Jeptha Creed Bloody Butcher's Creed 4 Grain Bourbon Whiskey My Favorite Mistake podcast featuring Jeptha Creed founder

When B.C. decriminalized small amounts of drugs in January 2023, it was seen as a promising weapon in the battle against the drug crisis. In May, B.C. walked that policy back, saying it caused disorder in the streets.In a similar move, Toronto tried decriminalizing, but the feds quickly shot down their attempt. So what gives? Was this year-long experiment a disaster? Was it not given enough time to flourish? To find out, Mattea Roach asked professor Gillian Kolla, journalist Andrea Woo, and former drug user and advocate Guy Felicella.Host: Mattea RoachCredits: Noor Azrieh (Producer), Sam Konnert (Producer), Caleb Thompson (Audio Editor), Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief)Guests: Guy Felicella, Andrea Woo, Gillian KollaBackground reading:#36 Is Canada Ready to Decriminalize Drugs? – The BackbenchDetox beds in B.C. routinely sit empty because of staff shortages – The Globe and MailOpinion: Backtracking on drug decriminalization is politically cowardly – and illogical – The Globe and MailBritish Columbia drops decriminalization of drugs in public – The GuardianAddictions minister had ‘deep concerns' with Toronto's decriminalization pitch – Global NewsDecriminalization in B.C.Decriminalizing people who use drugs in B.C.Sponsors: Douglas, AG1If you value this podcast, Support us!

Decriminalizing small amounts of illicit drugs is supposed to light a path to treatment for users and de-stigmatize addiction. But has harm reduction actually been achieved? The pilot decriminalization project in B.C. - in effect since January 2023 - has hit a snag due to concerns over public safety. Meanwhile, Toronto has been waiting two years for approval of its application to decriminalize drugs. Should that bid be adjusted as the city learns lessons from the west coast? We ask: DJ Larkin, executive director of the Canadian Drug Policy Coalition; and Derek Finkle, journalist and columnist for the National Post.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Decriminalizing drugs doesn't seem to have stemmed the tide of substance use in Oregon, and now the state is backpedaling. Yet over 100,000 drug overdose deaths in 2022, recently reported by the CDC, must be addressed somehow. Substance use disorder … How should policy address substance use?

In Latin America, legislation and debates around reproductive rights are moving in different directions. Abortion has been banned in Nicaragua and Guatemala in recent years, but other countries such as Mexico and Colombia have decriminalized or even legalized it.In Brazil, Latin America's largest nation, abortion laws remain restrictive. Today, abortion is only allowed in the case of rape or incest, if there is a risk of death for the pregnant woman, or in cases of anencephaly, a serious, fatal birth defect. In our latest IJNotes episode on reporting on reproductive health, I spoke with Ester Pinheiro, journalism producer at Revista AzMina, a Brazilian outlet that covers stories with a gender focus. Pinheiro is also the founder of Feminismos del Sur, a podcast that addresses gender issues in the Global South. Support the show

In 2020, Oregon voters became the first state to largely decriminalize drug use and small amounts of hard drugs like cocaine, heroin, and fentanyl. Lawmakers pitched Measure 110 as a progressive, fresh approach to helping treat addiction rather than punish it, and the law passed with 58 percent support. Oregon's governor recently declared a drug emergency, as overdose deaths have been climbing year after year and Democratic lawmakers who first pushed to decriminalize drugs are admitting it isn't working. Oregon State Representative Kevin Mannix is a Republican who opposed the measure, and he joins the Rundown to explain how drug decriminalization has caused a rise in overdoses, why drug traffickers are now targeting Oregon, and what he believes could be a compassionate solution to help addicts while keeping drugs off the streets in his state. Although he is facing several criminal trials this year, former President Donald Trump remains the Republican frontrunner in the race for commander-in-chief. He continues to allege that the legal proceedings are a form of election interference, with one case making it to the Supreme Court. Today, the Justices will consider his appeal to a Colorado Supreme Court ruling that could disqualify him from the Centennial State's primary ballot for participating in an insurrection on January 6th. FOX News Legal Editor, Kerri Urbahn, joins to break down the legal questions at play in this decision and what this unprecedented case could mean for the election.

Oregon State Representative Kevin Mannix is a Republican who opposed the measure, and he joins the Rundown to explain how drug decriminalization has caused a rise in overdoses, why drug traffickers are now targeting Oregon, and what he believes could be a compassionate solution to help addicts while keeping drugs off the streets in his state. Although he is facing several criminal trials this year, former President Donald Trump remains the Republican frontrunner in the race for commander-in-chief. He continues to allege that the legal proceedings are a form of election interference, with one case making it to the Supreme Court. Today, the Justices will consider his appeal to a Colorado Supreme Court ruling that could disqualify him from the Centennial State's primary ballot for participating in an insurrection on January 6th. FOX News Legal Editor, Kerri Urbahn, joins to break down the legal questions at play in this decision and what this unprecedented case could mean for the election.

Dozens of Oregon lawmakers, law enforcement and addiction leaders are back from a week-long trip to Portugal.The country's drug decriminalization was a model for Oregon's controversial Measure 110, and those who attended the trip say they have come to a clear agreement: Give people struggling with addiction places to detox and get treatment.They also say that Oregon should give law enforcement the tools to nudge people to treatment without recriminalizing drugs and repealing Measure 110.Support the show

Oregon’s Measure 110 — which decriminalized drug possession and directed more money into substance use disorder treatment   — was modeled after Portugal's drug policy approach. New York Times opinion writer and neuroscience journalist Maia Szalavitz has studied what’s happened over the last 25 years since the country began decriminalization. She’s written many articles and books on the subject of addiction, most recently “Undoing Drugs: How Harm Reduction is Changing the Future of Drugs and Addiction.”  She joins to tell us how and why decriminalization worked in Portugal and the lessons she believes it holds for Oregon — and the U.S. as a whole.

If signed into law, a new bill would make it legal to possess small doses of naturally occurring psychedelics. At Occidental College, “The Iridescence of Knowing” is an exhibit showcasing works made on Tongva land by generations of artists.

Several states in America are rethinking prostitution. Or at least how to address those who are involved in it.  For example, Maine's Governor Janet Mills recently signed a bill that will no longer make it a crime - for at least the adult offering sexual services. However, It would still be illegal to buy sex or be a pimp. And in New York state, lawmakers are also weighing a bill that would decriminalize 'sex work'.   Not surprisingly, these bills have reignited the debate over how best local and state governments should address the 'world's oldest profession' and those whose lives are negatively affected by it.  Earlier this month, New York Republican State Senator Anthony Palombo and Vice President of the National Center of Sexual Exploitation Eleanor Gaetan joined the FOX News Rundown's Lisa Brady to discuss the pros and cons of legalizing, decriminalizing, or over prosecuting prostitution.  Both guests had concerns for the safety of sex trafficking victims, but had different ideas on how best to help them and address the other crimes and social problems associated with the sex trade business.  We made edits for time and thought you might like to hear our entire conversation with Congressman New York Republican State Senator Anthony Palombo and Vice President of the National Center of Sexual Exploitation Eleanor Gaetan. On today's FOX News Rundown Extra, you'll our entire conversation about this complex issues.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

https://youtu.be/FmRhREbbl2w … it is peculiar that while liberals are in favor of any sexual activity engaged in by two consenting adults, when these consenting adults engage in trade or exchange, the liberals step in to harass, cripple, restrict, or prohibit that trade. And yet both the consenting sexual activity and the trade are similar expressions of liberty in action. - Murray N.

Despite the United States accounting for around 5% of the world's population, it houses nearly a quarter of the world's prison population. This often discussed metric begins to make sense when examining the major cities like Los Angeles, New York and others, where things like poverty and mental illness are often considered “crimes.” Host Robert Scheer digs into this phenomenon in Los Angeles on this week's episode of Scheer Intelligence with Melissa Camacho, a senior staff attorney at the ACLU of Southern California.“First of all, it has to do with the criminalization of poverty, the criminalization of mental illness. What are we talking about? These are people who are innocent at this moment and they have not had any day in court,” Scheer expressed. Together, Scheer and Camacho discussed the recent small victories in L.A. county, where subhuman conditions set for detainees have gradually improved, including new limits on how long detainees can be held at inmate reception centers and how long they can be chained to chairs and benches. Camacho explained that the fight for the improvement of these conditions has been ongoing with the ACLU for over 50 years.Before this recent victory, detainees would be subject to environments people often associate with third world countries. “[Detainees] were getting stuck in the [inmate reception center] for days at a time, and those who were the sickest were stuck on the front bench, chained to the front bench for literally 24, 48, 72 [hours]. I talked to somebody who had been on the front bench for 99 hours,” Camacho said.Camacho also mentioned the efforts to control the levels of overpopulation often experienced at these jails. “Our L.A. County jails are authorized to hold around 12,400 people, but they consistently operate above that level, 14,000, 15,000. Before COVID, it was up to 17,000,” Camacho said. As a resident of Los Angeles, Scheer describes how he sees and knows that most of the time, the people who are getting arrested are part of the thousands of houseless people who line the streets of the city.

In today's episode of The Wright Report, Bryan Dean Wright unravels three significant briefs shaping the world. First, he sheds light on a new study that contradicts the common perception about US military veterans being extremists. Then, we'll journey to the Indian Ocean, focusing on the strategic island of Diego Garcia and its changing role for the US military. Our third stop is Europe, where some countries are reneging on their promise to rebuild their militaries, expecting the US to foot the bill. We wrap up with a narrative of regret from Oregon, where voters are second-guessing their decision to decriminalize hard drugs.

A new government report finds religious persecution around the world is growing, states that decriminalized drugs are rethinking that plan and John and Maria discuss a leading voice in Artificial Intelligence saying he regrets his life work.

A new report from the United Nations calls for decriminalizing sex between adults and minors and abolishing all laws relating to sex work, which would mainly benefit traffickers, pimps, and abusers. 5) Head of Russia's Wagner Group says Putin should end “special military operation” in Ukraine; 4) Wagner Group mercenaries linked to civil war in Sudan; 3) New report from UN calls for sex between adults and children to be decriminalized; 2) Husband and wife in India decapitate themselves as grisly pagan sacrifice; 1) Tennessee National Guard soldier arrested after applying online to become a hitman.

She describes to her clients and in interviews that her brain “works like how psychedelics do” and considers herself neurodivergent, having what she calls a shamanic neurotype. Colette does not identify as a shaman as she was not born into a traditional shamanic culture, but she neurologically and psychologically identifies with the ways shaman's and traditional healers' nervous systems function.This brought her to work with the traditional ayahuasca cultures, where she had her first experiences with ayahuasca thirteen years ago. Colette finally felt the confirmation of her own neurological experience and framework after these experiences, directly connecting with traditional curanderos and shamanic entheogenic medicines. Colette is the founder and the Board Chair of Decriminalize Nature Philadelphia, a registered 501-C4 working to decriminalize entheogens in Philadelphia by passing a resolution at the city level. She works at the premier 5-MeO-DMT retreat center as a guest facilitator, Tandava Retreat Center, and supports retreat clients with psychedelic integration work. Colette is currently a consultant on psychedelic education, safety, and Indigenous advocacy for two different psychedelic startups.
