In this episode of the American Fourcast, Matt Frei is joined by Democrat state representative Dr Jasmine Clark and Republican strategist Eric Tanenblatt. Produced by Silvia Maresca, Calum Fraser, Rob Thomson, Ed Gove, Ka Yee Mak, Dani Isdale.

The podcast welcomes Michael Thurmond, Eric Tanenblatt and Kerwin Swint to discuss the first-ever criminal trial of a former U.S. president as Donald Trump's New York City hush money trial gets underway with jury selection today. They look at whether that trial could have an impact on the Georgia election conspiracy case, in which Trump and 14 other defendants are charged with illegal efforts to overturn the results of the state's 2020 presidential election.     Then, Republican and Democratic elected officials are sparring over how to respond to Iran's attacks on Israel. And in Washington, there are questions about whether the U.S. House will now be able to pass a stalled $95 billion military aid package for both Israel and Ukraine. Far-right members such as U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene have held up the bill the Senate passed weeks ago.     And Tia Mitchell describes how Georgia Congressman Mike Collins has used social media -- for good and ill -- to make himself one of the highest profile freshmen in the House.     Links to Topics  Could New York hush money trial influence Georgia case?  Will House pass military aid package for Israel and Ukraine?  Speaker trying to thread needle on military aid package  Mitchell: The double life of Georgia's 'meming' congressman       Have a question or comment for the show?

They also assess the likelihood of a possible runoff between the two candidates. Eric Tanenblatt is the Global Chair of Public Policy and Regulation of Dentons, the world's largest law firm. He also leads the firm's US Public Policy Practice, leveraging his three decades of experience at the very highest levels of the federal and state governments. Mr. Tanenblatt, a renowned lecturer and political counselor who's widely regarded as one of the nation's preeminent public policy thought leaders, has served in the administrations of three US presidents and as a senior advisor to a US senator and governor, and held a US Senate-confirmable post governing a federal agency.

Friday on Political Rewind: Consequential updates to Georgia's political maps are moving through a special session of the state General Assembly. The Republican-controlled legislature is redrawing the boundaries of state and congressional legislatorial seats as part of a decennial process mandated by law. Among the changes, Republican lawmakers look likely to deny U.S. Rep. Lucy McBath reelection in the 6th District. Patricia Murphy, politics columnist for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, said proposed changes to the 6th District would create a marked shift in its political makeup. Parts of Gwinnett County would be ceded and replaced by Republican-leaning communities in neighboring Forsyth, Cherokee and Dawson counties. "It's going from an area that voted for Joe Biden by 12 points, to one that voted for Donald Trump by 15 points," Murphy said. "So just a huge partisan swing." Meanwhile, the effort to create an independent city of Buckhead takes another step forward as state Sen. Brandon Beach filed legislation that, if passed, would give Buckhead residents the right to decide the issue in next November's election. Panelists: Patricia Murphy — Politics reporter and columnist, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Stephen Fowler — Politics reporter, GPB News Rep.

Wednesday on Political Rewind: Counties have until midnight to finish their audits of ballots cast in the November presidential election. No evidence of election fraud has been found. The audit revealed memory cards from voting machines in two counties were not properly uploaded. The votes were added to the final tally. After accounting for those ballots, Biden's lead dropped to about 13,000 votes. The Secretary of State's office said the post-election process catching mistakes was a normal step in certifying results not a sign of wrongdoing. Long before Republican senators began publicly denouncing how Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger handled the voting there, he withstood pressure from the campaign of Donald Trump to endorse the president for reelection. Our panel of experts break down the latest in Georgia's election races. Our panelists included: Eric Tanenblatt, Republican strategist; Greg Bluestein, Politics Reporter at The Atlanta Journal-Constitution; Riley Bunch — Georgia Statehouse Reporter at CNHI News; and Teri Anulewicz, State Representative (D-Smyrna).

We begin with democratic and progressive strategists including Abigail Collazo, former Democratic campaign manager & director of strategic communications for Democratic candidates, Alexander Hernandez, co-chair of the Immigrants’ Rights Working Group of the Democratic Socialists of America, and Megan DuBose, South Fulton Director for the Young Democrats of Atlanta.Next, we turn to conservative and Republican strategists for their perspective.

Monday on Political Rewind, the Republican National Convention begins this week, and promises to be a convention that breaks the traditional mold.

What will this week's programming tell us about Republican campaign strategy and internal party dynamic? Our panelists were Jim Galloway, Lead Political Writer at The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Buddy Darden, former Georgia U.S. Congressman, Eric Tanenblatt, longtime Republican strategist and Julianne Thompson, a Republican activist.

Dentons is the world's largest law firm, delivering quality and value to clients around the globe. You probably don't automatically associate the law firm with autonomous vehicles. But autonomous vehicle technology and legislation is a hot topic that Denton's is passionate about.

Authored by Dentons' Autonomous Vehicles team, the Driverless Commute interprets emerging innovations and implications facing the AV sector. It is an extension of a popular, long-running weekly email digest of the same name that will allow for a more nimble publishing of legal and policy analysis of the fast-changing automated car landscape.

Leveraging the Firm's experience serving the automotive, technology, and renewable energy sectors, Dentons' Autonomous Vehicles team was launched to act as a source for companies navigating the rapidly evolving landscape of laws and regulations relating to the development and deployment of AV technology.

We explore The Global Guide to Autonomous Vehicles 2020, and take a look at the top issues and challenges facing the development and advancement of autonomous vehicles worldwide.  

Law firms and lawyers have a reputation for being slow to adapt to the new digital world. But, as clients begin to demand better technology and services, all that is about to change, so I wanted to explore the world of legal tech. Dentons is the world's largest law firm and recognized by prominent business and legal publications for its innovations in client service. But, they are also pioneering the intersection of technology innovation and the legal industry and also exploring legislation and regulation around emerging technologies. However, when I discovered that Dentons also recently announced the launch of Driverless Commute, a blog geared toward the latest news and analysis on the autonomous vehicle (AV) industry, I had to find out more. Authored by Dentons’ Autonomous Vehicles team, the Driverless Commute interprets emerging innovations and implications facing the AV sector.

Driverless Commute provides insightful analysis of the current regulatory environment, monitors public perception of AV technology, covers the global race to market and highlights pilot programs, including shuttle buses, package delivery vans, robo-taxis, shared-fleet vehicles, truck convoys and row-cop tractors. As the industry is dynamic and new terminology quickly comes to the forefront, the blog includes hyperlinks connecting readers to outside articles that provide advanced industry data, market research, policy papers, proposed legislation, legal opinions, and information on events and government grant sources. Leveraging the Firm’s experience serving the automotive, technology and renewable energy sectors, Dentons’ Autonomous Vehicles team was launched to act as a source for companies navigating the rapidly evolving landscape of laws and regulations relating to the development and deployment of AV technology.
