Send us a textCliff Rosenthal literally wrote the book on CDFIs, community development financial institutions. Hear his story in this podcast that dates back to 2019, episode 37 in the vaults. Rosenthal was on the show last year - episode 311 - talking about a new book he co-authored with Michael McCray entitled Community Capital. It's part Rosenthal autobiography, part the sgtory of the death - the murder? - of an African AMerican credit union. Hard hitting stuff.But the story starts here, in episode 37 and it now is our Greatest Hit #24Listen up
Send us a Text Message.Probably you think a book titled Community Capital has to be a snoozefest. And then there's the new book with that title written by Clifford Rosenthal and Michael McCray and it's a book that will rock you and your beliefs about NCUA, African American focused credit unions and more.The book splits into two parts. There's Rosenthal's part where he looks at the struggles of smaller community based crest unions - he served as CEO of the National Federation of Community Development Credit Unions (now Inclusiv) for almost 30 years. He also put in a stint at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. He also has been a guest on the podcast, episode 37 back in 2019.And know that although Rosenthal documents the struggles of small community development credit unions, recent developments at the federal level have left him sounding downright optimistic.Then there's Michael McCray's part of the book, which documents what he sees as NCUA's systematic destruction of the Kappa Alpha Psi Credit Union, the country's first virtual credit union. Kappa Alpha Psi is an historic African American fraternity and the credit union did not go down without a fight.Note: there are a few minor audio problems early in the podcast - crackling sounds that technology didn't filter out. But the words are always audible and the content is compelling.Listen up.Like what you are hearing? Find out how you can help sponsor this podcast here.

For the first half of this week's show, Mickey brings on co-organizers and participants of the upcoming 2022 Whistleblower Summit and Film Festival in Washington, DC, including Marcel Reid, Michael McCray, and Marsha Warfiled. They make the case for a broader public understanding of what whistleblowing is, and why those who call out corruption need better protection and support given the retaliation they face for exercising what Daniel Ellsberg, of the Pentagon Papers fame, has called civil courage. In the second half-hour, Eleanor Goldfield and her guest look at the recent election in Colombia, which saw leftist candidate Gustavo Petro winning the presidency and the first Afro-Colombian, Francia Marquez, an environmental activist, win the vice-presidency. They discuss what this may means for the region and US influence and imperialism there. Notes: Michael McCray and Marcel Reid are the co-founders of the International Association of Whistleblowers and co-organizers of the Whistleblower Summit and Film Festival. McCray is also General Counsel for the Federally Employed Women Legal Education Fund. Reid is a former member of the Pacifica Radio National Board. Marsha Warfield is a nationally-known, comedian and actress, and will be hosting some events at the Whistleblower Summit. Gimena Sanchez is a staff member at the Washington Office on Latin America.

Michael McCray explores Whistleblowers.
On tonight's episode of The Critical Hour with Dr. Wilmer Leon, US District Judge Amy Berman Jackson revoked Paul Manafort's bail, he's now in jail. The judge emphasized to Manafort how she could not make enough rulings to keep him from speaking improperly with witnesses, after he had used multiple text messaging apps and called a potential witness on an Italian cell phone.Weekly Roundtable Wrap Up: Dr. Bandy Lee-American psychiatrist with Yale University and a specialist in violence prevention programs in prisons and in the community.Michael McCray, Esq. - author, speaker and public interest advocate. Michael hosts the Whistleblower Summit for Civil & Human Rights Topics:Judge sends Paul Manafort to jail, pending trial Two weeks after Robert Mueller's prosecutors dropped new accusations of witness tampering on him, US District Judge Amy Berman Jackson Friday revoked Manafort's bail, he's now in jail. The judge emphasized to Manafort how she could not make enough rulings to keep him from speaking improperly with witnesses, after he had used multiple text messaging apps and called a potential witness on an Italian cell phone. "This is not middle school. I can't take his cell phone," she said of Manafort. "I thought about this long and hard, Mr. Manafort. I have no appetite for this."Later they recount the IG Michael E. Horowitz, Inspector General for the DOJ, Department of Justice released his much anticipated 500 page report; the most comprehensive look back at the investigation into Mrs. Clinton's use of an unclassified private email server. They raise the question: How can Comey remain disconnected from the bias of his underlings? When this evidence seems damning than people want to admit.Defense Contractors Cashing In On Immigrant Kids' DetentionSeparating refugee and immigrant children from their parents isn't just an emotionally wrenching policy. It's an enterprise that is benefitting intelligence and defense contractors.Those contractors—including one with a history of scandals—have advertised a flurry of jobs in recent weeks to support the infrastructure surrounding undocumented children whom the Trump administration has taken from their families.Trump's “Beautiful” Employment Numbers Mask an Ugly Reality for US WorkersThe Trump Administration and the media were positively giddy at the news: the U.S. had added 223,000 jobs in May, representing a record 92nd consecutive month of jobs growth, and reducing the unemployment rate to 3.8 percent, its lowest level since the height of the dotcom boom in 2000.“New Milestones in Jobs Report Signals a Bustling Economy,” read the New York Times headline trumpeting the data. “Looking forward to seeing the employment numbers at 8:30 this morning,” Trump tweeted ahead of the Bureau of Labor Statistics June 1 press release.The panel then delves deeper into the conversation on suicide. Suicide rates rose sharply across the United States. Suicide rates rose in all but one state between 1999 and 2016, with increases seen across age, gender, race and ethnicity, according to the report. In more than half of all deaths in 27 states, the people had no known mental health condition when they ended their lives.They explain what this really means. Good or Bad When Police Keep Count of Racial Profiling?Two things happened within a couple days of each other that rammed the perennially touch and volatile issue of racial profiling back on the public table. The first was the mistaken arrest of actor Darris Love by the Glendale Police Department. Love was spread eagled, handcuffed on the ground at gunpoint, after a report of a robbery in the area. When the mistake was acknowledged, Love immediately screamed, “racial profiling!”An American editorial cartoonist has been fired for skewering Trump. He likely won't be the last.Pittsburgh Post-Gazette cartoonist Rob Rogers, the editorial cartoonist for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette for more than 25 years has been fired. Most working cartoonists have had an occasional idea spiked by his or her editor. But in the past few weeks, editorial director Keith Burris and publisher John Robinson Block have refused to publish six of Rogers's cartoons, all criticizing Trump or his policies. Block and Burris have also rejected many of Rogers's rough sketch ideas for several months and now he's done. They discuss what does this really mean?

While ACORN 8 may sound like a description of a squirrel's daily life, it's actually a whistleblower organization. Widespread corruption isn't a secret, but without prosecution nothing will happen.
