Richard Scrushy is back in the news and is asserting that exculpatory evidence was intentionally withheld which would have exonerated him from an unjust conviction back in 2006. In the early 2000s, Scrushy, the CEO of HealthSouth Corporation, was hit with charges of fraud and bribery. Acquitted of the fraud charges, he was eventually found guilty of paying $500K into then Gov. Don Siegelman's education lottery fund in exchange for a seat on the state's Certificate of Need Board. This week host Bryan Dawson brings on Scrushy for an exclusive interview to discuss his assertion regarding the exculpatory evidence being withheld, as well as hearing more about Scrushy's trip to prison and what he's been doing since his release.

Written by Will LochamyPlayed by Reed Lochamy, Bella Tucker, Hunter Briggs, Don Siegelman, Bob Lochamy, and Billie LochamyFor most rounds, there are three questions, and you rank your answers, assigning point values of 5, 3, and 1 each round, depending on your level of confidence. The one you feel best about is your 5-point answer, the one you're just guessing on is your 1-point answer. (For any rounds where the points don't work this way, we'll discuss that during the game.)If you feel certain that you know the answer to all three questions in a typical round, then instead of assigning points of 5, 3 and 1, you can go for 11 points. If you do that and you answer all three questions correctly, you get 11 points (instead of 9). However, if you do that and you miss just one question, you get a 0 for the round.The bonus round question has five possible answers. You get 3 points for every correct answer you submit. Like with going for 11 in typical rounds, though, you can choose to go for 20 in the bonus round (but doing so is risky in the same way that going for 11 in typical rounds is).Have questions about the game or how it works?

Sometimes life just doesn't make sense. Although today's show isn't really about two governors, it does involve two (actually three) southern governors whose actions were not reflected in the paths their lives and careers have taken. But, in all fairness, one of the stories hasn't yet reached a conclusion, so the odds are pretty good that fairness will win. But we'll see.I'm talking -in the second instance- of Florida's sad excuse for a governor. Ron DeSantis, who signed the bill into law just yesterday that will allow him to run for president without resigning as governor first, made his candidacy official yesterday, launching his campaign on Twitter Spaces. Yes, the correct response to that is "Twitter what?" . The little-known audio only section of Twitter did exactly what we expected: It crashed! The headlines "Failure to Launch" wrote themselves.Meanwhile, the day before, we heard from two former Alabama governors, one of whom I know much more about that the other. The one I don't know is Robert Bentley, a Republican, who resigned from office before he could be removed. The other is Don Siegelman, a Democrat, and one of the best Democratic governors from the south who could have been (and should have been) president. If only he hadn't been targeted, set-up and prosecuted (persecuted) by the nefarious forces on the right, likely led by one Karl Rove.--Click here to hear my interview with Gov. Siegelman about his story from June 12, 2020 ----Siegelman was accused of bribery and convicted based on lies and fabrications from the right, and he served a sentence as an actual American political prisoner. Unfortunately, the Democratic president Barack Obama did noting to right the wrongs perpetrated on him by those who sought to discredit him.He's not coming on to talk about that today, though. Instead, Gov. Siegelman joins me to talk about an op-ed he and Gov Bentley co-authored for the Washington Post earlier this week, expressing their regrets for going along with the death penalty when they each had the power to refuse.

Produced by KSQD 90.7FM “Democracy Abandoned with Governor Don Siegelman” Charles Blow, New York Times ~ May 14, 2021 opinion column excerpts: “Democracy cannot exist in a society in which nearly half the participants have abandoned it, a lie is elevated to the position of truth, participation becomes the thing being poisoned.” “The Republican Party is no longer simply a part of our political system; it is a threat to our political system. The party has converted itself into the enemy within.” ~~~ America is at a tipping point. One political party believes in democracy and the other one is a major anti-democratic force. In this special interview, we will be speaking with the author of Stealing Our Democracy by former Gov. Don Siegelman. Right before our eyes and that's why it is hard to believe, the Republican leadership (RNC/Congress/GOP governors) have a ruthless plan underway to subvert our constitutional republic. They have turned ‘democracy” into a wedge issue with the intent of dismantling democracy for the acquisition and permanent retention of illegitimate power = tyranny. It can happen here too and democracy is weakening around the world. We're heading towards a total breakdown in a few years and no one can take our democracy for granted any longer. We must realize it now so that we are equipped to stop it. Democracy operates on an honor system. What happens when dishonorable people are in charge? Interview Guest: Governor Don Siegelman is “America's Political Prisoner #1” who also is the only politician in Alabama history to hold all the state's top constitutional offices: governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, and secretary of state. As his 2006 campaign was getting underway, he was indicted ― wrongfully, according to scores of attorneys general from states across the nation ― convicted, and given a harsh prison sentence by a prosecutor and judge with links to GOP operatives Karl Rove and Jack Abramoff. Gov. Siegelman's case was the subject of a CBS 60 Minutes report and a full-length documentary titled, "Atticus v. the Architect.” He is the author of Stealing Our Democracy (now out on Audible!), that explodes the myth of an impartial U.S. judicial system and tells the story of his living nightmare of being an American political prisoner who was convicted of a crime he did not commit. https://donsiegelman.org

Produced by KSQD90.7FM "A National Reckoning on Racism" Tune in to “Be Bold America!” Sunday, August 2, 2020 at 5:00pm The former governor of Alabama has a few things to say about racism. Gov. Don Siegelman, author of Stealing Our Democracy now a “hot” top five book listed on “The National Book Review”, is uniquely positioned to speak on this subject as a life-long Alabama resident and as the only politician in Alabama history to hold all the state's top constitutional offices: governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, and secretary of state. While holding those executive offices, he methodically removed symbols of racism in the state. With his years of experience facing and addressing racism, he has a unique and deep perceptive on Donald Trump claiming the Confederate flag is a symbol of freedom of speech. In addition, as seen through his lens of experience, he will present his views about Confederate statues, renaming the Edmond Pettus bridge, police power and abuse, education, healthcare as a right, higher minimum wage, after school jobs, tax reform, and the imperative to change policies, politics, and the laws now. In addition, Dr. Pettis Perry, Walden University Leadership and Management Professor, will join this “national reckoning on racism” conversation. As a side note, Dr. Perry believes his father changed the spelling of his first name from using a “u” to an “i” when his father saw the bridge named for KKK Grand Dragon, Edmond Pettus.

Don Siegelman, Former Governor of Alabama on Racism & Police ViolenceTrump is trying to play out Richard Nixon’s “law and order“ theme from the 1968 election. “Law and order“ were Nixon’s code words for white supremacy, but nobody in the mainstream media identified that or called it out at the time; that commentary was largely limited to the black press. America today is a very different place, a multiracial and far more pluralistic society. Trump thinks he can pull off Nixon’s white supremacist routine and get himself reelected. He is wrong. The big question is what happens when Trump’s “law and order“ strategy fails. Will this lead to the emergence of a fully fascist government being led by Trump, Pence and Barr from the White House? Or will it lead to continued uprisings around the country that eventually lead to positive changes in policing and governance?For the Book Club Thom reads from his book "The Hidden History of the Supreme Court and the Betrayal of America" and also "The Polar Bear Expedition: The Heroes of America's Forgotten Invasion of Russia, 1918-1919" by James Carl Nelson.

Gov. Siegelman served five years in federal prison ― including long stretches in solitary confinement ― before being released on probation. One of the solitary confinements happened after Don spoke with progressive talk show host Thom Hartmann! 100 State Attorneys General - both Democratic and Republican - wrote a letter to President Obama requesting that Gov. Don Siegelman be released, since there had been no crime. He was a political prisoner, not a criminal. President Obama did nothing. Now 73, Gov. Siegelman has devoted himself to promoting prison and judicial reform. His book, "Stealing Our Democracy”, available June 16, explodes the myth of an impartial U.S. judicial system.

Dana Siegelman and Frank Vernuccio are first time guests. Dana's father, Don Siegelman, former governor of Alabama, was seen as a rising star in the Democratic Party and possible Presidential Candidate in 2004. The Bush Administration indicted Siegelman in 2002 and then again in 2005. Dana will talk about the miscarriage of justice and defiance of the rule of law against her father and how you can help to right this wrong that Republicans as well as Democrats have railed against. Not unrelated to this personal miscarriage of justice are economic lies and propaganda committed against the American people by both major political parties. Although the Obama administration and Wall Street spin the U.S. Economy in a positive light, Vernuccio will explain why our country and the middle class remain in an economic crisis mode. Crisis mode or not, we need to protect our wealth so Ken Cunningham of Miranda Gold will update us on his company's efforts to outline gold wealth in the ground.
