Ally Walker, actress, writer, director, and now debut author joins me to discuss her new book THE LIGHT RUNNER.You might know Ally from TV and film, most notably as Agent June Stahl on SONS OF ANARCHY, but Ally hasn't just been in front of the camera her entire career. As well as being in popular shows like PROFILER, THE PROTECTOR, LONGMIRE, GHOSTED, LA LAW, THE SHIELD, BOSTON LEGAL, LAW AND ORDER SVU, and SONS OF ANARCHY, she's been in the directors chair behind films like FAR MORE and FOR NOMAN WHEREVER YOU ARE.Ally was discovered in a small diner while utilizing her degree in biology as a biochemist sequencing DNA and working in labs when she landed her first role. From there, she was in big movies like UNIVERSAL SOLDIER and more.Now, she's a debut author exploring the metaphysical and alternate realities in THE LIGHT RUNNER. In this episode we talk acting, writing, directing, producing screenplays, and what it takes to make it in Hollywood and the publishing industry.Bookmarks:0:00 - Intro1:50 - The Light Runner16:00 - Award Winning Film "Far More"18:50 - LA Child Welfare System Documentary28:00 - Sons of Anarchy

The show opens with CPI numbers remaining in-check and within expectations while tariff revenue continues to soar. The fiscal policies are working as good, if not better, than expected. Yet, Too-Late Powell continues to keep the interest rates unreasonably high. We then spend a good amount of time looking at a move by the FBI and the DOJ to ensnare all of the law-breakers we have wanted to see face their day in court since the initial Russian collusion hoax all the way through to the 51 spies who lied and beyond. It looks like a criminal investigation by Fannie Mae has concluded that Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) committed mortgage fraud over the span of several years. On top of that, we have the autopen story continue to reveal how the pardons are likely null and void. So, Schiff also has the concern over his role in the J6 Reality TV Show. At least two generation of Americans have been so thoroughly indoctrinated and groomed in our halls of academia, that we literally have an example of an LA City Council member asking their police chief to commit willful obstruction of other law enforcement officers. It's a stark example of how we have too many overly credentialed and overly degreed people who have no idea how the world really works or even what it means to follow the rule of law. A brilliant move by DHS has them sending out collections notices to illegals who already had their final deportation hearings, yet refused to leave. They are getting a bill of $1.8 million unless they choose to leave immediately. Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) has stuck the citizen's of his state with a near $500,000 legal bill for the time spent prepping him for his few hours of testimony before the House Oversight Committee. Finally, we need to perhaps keep some of the wins in mind when it comes to AG Pam Bondi and the DOJ. It's easy to focus on the negative (even if only a perceived negative) rather than the many positives. Former Congressman Matt Gaetz reminds us that she is actually a really solid performer.

Dozens of farmworkers were detained and federal agents deployed tear gas at protesters during an immigration raid at a Ventura County agricultural business Thursday. For millions of Americans, the dream of homeownership is becoming increasingly elusive — and in California, the financial barrier is especially high. FBI deputy director Dan Bongino took a day off from work Friday after clashing at the White House with Attorney General Pam Bondi over their handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, four sources familiar with the conflict told Axios. Christmas shoppers got a gift of sorts from the White House this week when the president pushed the tariff pause to August 1. The shift should give retailers more time to stockpile most goods ahead of the holiday season, potentially pushing some tariff-related price increases to next year.

FRED'S BIO Fred Rivera is as accomplished as he is a terrific human being and has had a remarkable career. He is one of the highest ranking (and few) Latinos in the business of American professional sports. He currently serves as Executive Vice President and General Counsel for the Seattle Mariners, loves the game, started pitching as a young kid (great curveball), played in college, and deeply knows the economics of sports - and their positive impact on communities across America. We talk about school, multi generational influences, LA Law (the show), community fabric, leadership, and of course, emotional connections to baseball. His Mariners role was preceded by another big role: Fred served as Managing Partner of Perkins Coie's Seattle office, one of the largest and most prestigious law firms in the United States where he spent about two decades. He started his  career in the 1990's as a trial attorney in the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice and in the early 2000's he served as Vice President in charge of internal investigations at Fannie Mae. He serves on the boards of directors of Heritage Bank (NASDAQ: HFWA), Delta Dental of Washington and OAC Services, and ROOT Sports, the Mariners-owned regional sports network. He has been recognized  in the U.S. News-Best Lawyers in America and as Director of the Year (2022) by the Puget Sound Business Journal. Fred also serves, or has served, as President of the Latina/o Bar Association of Washington, Regional President of the Hispanic National Bar Association and the boards of Rainier Scholars, Trustee of the King County Bar Association, Board of Directors of the Downtown Seattle Association, ArtsFund, and the United Way of King County, where he was Chairman.

This week, I talk to legendary TV composer Mike Post about everything from the Law and Order dun-dun to his original album of musical suites.   If you've had a TV turned to a network station anytime in the last forty years, you've heard Mike Post's music. A stalwart in the TV scoring game, he is the voice of so many police and law procedurals, from The Rockford Files to LA Law to his Emmy-winning theme for Murder One. But most know him best as the voice of the long-running Law & Order franchise, having scored almost all of its varying spinoffs since the Dick Wolf flagship series premiered in the late 1980s.   But outside of his stuff TV schedule, Post is also incredibly busy as a solo composer, having just released his first standalone album in thirty years. Message from the Mountains & Echoes of the Delta is a two-part series of suites inspired by the blues and bluegrass music of his youth, lending an orchestral heft to the American musical traditions that have inspired his iconic career. It's a stellar series of tracks, ones that feel like an already-accomplished musical artist spreading his wings and revisiting the music that made him who he is today.   Message from the Mountains and Echoes of the Delta is currently available on your preferred music streamer, courtesy of Sony Music Masterworks.

Chipotle, McDonald's, Starbucks, Jack in the Box and Shake Shack are planning to raise menu prices. Fast-food franchisees are laying off employees or cutting their hours. Smaller independent business owners, meanwhile, worry their workers will bolt unless they also increase wages. Rule makers, rule breakers and the laws that oughta be. Deadly/Not Deadly. We're going to go ahead and call the Ohtani gambling saga an LA Law topic because we make the rules. Rule makers, rule breakers and the laws that oughta be. As a Gen X'er, I like to imagine what life would be like if we had therapy in our teen years rather than angst ridden grunge music.  Maybe, we would see more hope in the world.

Andrew and Raul go to Mexico. Oh, it's that time of year when we change our clocks, complain about changing our clocks, run a thousand media stories about why we change our clocks, hear politicians say they intend on putting an end to the practice and then do nothing about it. LA Law meets LA mystery this week.  With a side of Show Business. They say you're far more likely to die on the way to the airport than in the air... tell that to the sensational news!  Oh, I'm one of them and I LOOOOOVE IT!

Remember the magic of Willow and the thrilling suspense of Cobra Kai? As we gathered around our mics for this episode, we kept replaying these shows in our minds, wondering what the sequel of Willow might have looked like. The excitement turned into a lively chat and nostalgia took us on a ride as we reminisced about Warwick Davis and his illustrious career. His daughter's involvement in the sequel was like the cherry on top!Stream award-winning shows and movies safely with Surfshark VPNWhether you're traveling, staying abroad, or just want to explore a different culture via local content, a VPN can help you stay safe and private when doing so.

As we journeyed further, we bumped into a classic, The Omen. There's a prequel coming up folks, and we had a good laugh discussing the parody of The Omen on Netflix.Our passion for movies and TV shows took us back to 1985, where we found "Vision Quest". This movie has left a huge impact on us, shaping our journey of 500 episodes. We were thrilled to delve into the life lessons it imparts. We had the chance to explore the making of the film, the star-studded cast and how the movie has aged like fine wine. And as we wrapped up, we recommended some TV shows and movies to watch, including "LA Law" and a heartwarming documentary about Daniel Radcliffe's stuntman.
