Also tonight, a new wave of resistance is rising. The League of Women Voters has launched Unite & Rise 8.5, mobilizing 8.5 million Americans to push back against anti-democratic policies. CEO Celina Stewart is here to break it down and tell you how to plug in. And in tonight's Marketplace, we're drinking smarter!

Trump's week was wild: military parades met with mass protests, G7 drama, a snub from the NAACP, and—yes—a MAGA smartphone drop. In the B-Block, political tension escalates as we unpack the Padilla vs. Noem drama and a wave of shocking political violence.

Call Her Daddy Alex Cooper's abuse claims questioned, WATP Karl with Stuttering John & Woke Dad cringe, Trump warns Iran, R. Kelly's prison overdose, The Beach Boys abused Jan & Dean, and lesbians assaulted by a fart. Meghan Markle appeared on another podcast and remains annoying and elitist.

New York Mayoral candidate Brad Lander vs I.C.E. This is great news for his candidacy. My Pillow Mike Lindell loses in court and owes $2.3M. The NAACP hates Donald Trump. The Sunset Strip is a dud now. R. Kelly overdosed on his own meds in prison. He claims people are trying to kill him. The jury in the Diddy trial had a movie day. Their choice of film: Freak Off Videos. Karen Read trial will thankfully conclude soon. Conor McGregor is beating on people in night clubs. Antonio Brown is in hiding, but Tweeting his ass off. OKC takes the lead in the NBA Finals over the Indiana Pacers. Shaq settles his FTX case, Tom Brady and others are fighting it. Karl Hamburger of WATP drops by to promote the upcoming live show at The Magic Bag, Stuttering John back in the spotlight, rip apart Alex Cooper's latest endeavor with Hulu, slam Paris Hilton in the process, push more Woke Dad at us and more. US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem rushed to the hospital. Arnold Schwarzenegger didn't give Joy Behar the answer she wanted. Matthew Perry's doctor is screwed. Barbara Streisand can't remember nailing Warren Beatty. Just so you know, the little girl from Modern Family is bisexual. 3 nepo-babies releasing a song soon. Dhani Harrison gets snubbed. The Rolling Stones are looking to make another album. Jack White dropped a new video. Valerie Bertinelli won't go away. Jimmy Swaggart is going to die soon. The Beach Boys once hosted Jan & Dean to monstrous results.

Education has always mattered to Black people. Our enslaved ancestors risked their lives to learn what white oppressors withheld. Because those oppressors understood the important role knowledge of ones history, one's world, and oneself plays in Black liberation. Hundreds of years have gone by, and throughout them all, white supremacy has continued the work of suppressing Black education. So what can we do about it? In November 2021, Jay sat down with Dr. Ivory Toldosn. Dr. Toldson is the NAACP's national director of education, innovation, and research and has been a professor at Howard University for 16 years. Learning is the path forward, but we first have to challenge the barriers that prevent us from doing so.

Bush I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia.

Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: History looms over questions about Lewis twins' deaths The deaths of twin brothers Naazir and Qaadir Lewis on Bell Mountain in Towns County have sparked calls for an independent investigation, as their family and NAACP leaders question the Georgia Bureau of Investigation's (GBI) conclusion of a suicide-suicide. Concerns include gaps in the investigation, such as uncollected security footage and unanswered questions about the circumstances of their deaths. The family and NAACP cite historical distrust between the Black community and law enforcement, drawing parallels to past cases like Ahmaud Arbery. They are urging Governor Kemp to order a transparent, independent review to uncover the full truth. STORY 2: Duluth area lands new office for nations top mortgage lender CrossCountry Mortgage, named the nation’s top retail mortgage lender by Scotsman Guide and Mortgage Executive Magazine, has opened a new office in Duluth at 2675 Breckinridge Boulevard. The office will offer a full range of mortgage services, including support for first-time homebuyers, refinancing, and home equity solutions. Local officials praised the move as a testament to Gwinnett County’s thriving housing market and business-friendly environment. CrossCountry aims to deepen community support and help families achieve homeownership, further solidifying Gwinnett as a hub for financial services and economic growth. STORY 3: Police looking for man who shot at a car at Norcross gas station Gwinnett County police are seeking help identifying a man who fired shots at a car on April 10 at a Shell gas station on Singleton Road in Norcross. The suspect, described as a light-skinned Black male wearing a pink hoodie, white shorts, and carrying a gray book bag, fired multiple shots after an interaction with occupants of a blue Hyundai Elantra. No injuries were reported, but another vehicle’s rear windshield was damaged. Police recovered five 9mm shell casings and released security images of the suspect. Tips can be submitted anonymously to Crime Stoppers for a cash reward. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info.

Stephanie Potra, once a homeless teenager, reflects on her challenging experience with Family Promise during the 2006 housing crisis. After her family lost their home, they entered the program, moving weekly between church shelters. Potra, angry and ashamed, struggled with depression, rebellion, and trouble at school, despite maintaining strong grades. Her family eventually regained stability, buying a home through the program’s support. Years later, Potra’s perspective shifted, recognizing Family Promise’s role in helping families rebuild. The nonprofit, founded in the 1980s, continues to provide shelter, financial training, and community support to families facing homelessness. STORY 5: Gwinnett County Public Library Receives Carnegie Grant The Gwinnett County Public Library (GCPL) has received a prestigious national grant from the Carnegie Corporation of New York to expand English language classes in partnership with Gwinnett County Public Schools. The grant will fund free classes, stipends for volunteer teachers, and bus passes for participants, aiming to support English learners in the community. GCPL is one of 11 libraries nationwide selected through the "Libraries as Pillars of Education and Democracy" initiative, which promotes adult literacy and college readiness.

In Chambers v. Florida and the Criminal Justice Revolution, historian and former ABA Journal reporter Richard Brust lifts the veil on a case that laid the groundwork for some much more famous civil rights victories. On May 13, 1933, shopkeeper Robert Darsey was robbed and murdered in Pompano, Florida. Four Black migrant farm workers—Izell Chambers, Walter Woodard, Jack Williamson and Charlie Davis—were seized and pressured by the local sheriff into confessing to the murder under threat of lynching. Their appeals eventually reached the U.S. Supreme Court through the efforts of some dedicated African American attorneys, and succeeded in 1940. In Justice Hugo Black's written opinion for the majority, the justice drew parallels between the Jim Crow regime in the American South and the rise of authoritarianism and fascism in Europe. Chambers v. Florida forbade the use of psychological coercion—such as threatening to turn prisoners over to lynch mobs—as well as physical abuse to extract confessions. The court's ruling declared that the protections of the Bill of Rights extended into states' criminal cases, and began to change the kinds of cases that made it onto the Supreme Court docket.Brust sees it as part of a trio of cases, which includes Moore v. Dempsey (1923) and Brown v. Mississippi (1936), that led to a “criminal procedure revolution,” he tells the ABA Journal's Lee Rawles. In this episode of The Modern Law Library, Brust discusses the lawyers who worked on the case, most prominently Simuel D. McGill, a Black attorney in Jacksonville. He delves into the generational differences between the Floridian defense lawyers and the attorneys of the NAACP's Legal Defense Fund who would go on to win key civil rights battles. He explains why Justice Black would have been considered an unlikely author for this opinion. And he shares what he could discover about the fates of Chambers, Woodard, Williamson and Davis after the trial.

As an author, journalist and civil rights leader, Ida brought information and power to the movement for African-American equality.

The Second Chance Amendment Act of 2022, as enacted in March 2025, amends D.C.'s outdated record-sealing laws to align them with contemporary record relief laws in other states. Succinctly stated, the Act provides a comprehensive framework for expunging and sealing certain records. In doing so, it can help remove the stigma of past convictions and make it easier for eligible individuals to get a job, rent an apartment, or secure a loan—all while still ensuring public safety. Because navigating the Act's eligibility requirements can be tricky, joining us to explain it all are D.C.

Who is the most unsung hero of the American Civil War and Reconstruction? According to Zaakir Tameez, it's the abolitionist statesmen Charles Sumner. In his eponymous new biography of Sumner, Tameez portrays Sumner as a model of "moral ambition" who sacrificed a promising corporate law career to fight for racial justice. As slavery's fiercest opponent, Tameez describes Sumner as the “conscience” of mid 19th century America. And he argues that Sumner's famous Senate caning in 1856, his influence on Civil War-era legislation, his likely homosexuality, and his role mentoring young civil rights lawyers all should represent models of moral leadership for 21st century Americans. five key takeaways* Moral Ambition Over Self-Interest: Charles Sumner abandoned a lucrative corporate law career and prestigious academic prospects at Harvard to fight for racial justice, demonstrating how personal sacrifice can serve greater moral purposes.* Early Integration Pioneer: More than 100 years before Brown v. Board of Education, Sumner partnered with young Black attorney Robert Morris in 1849 to argue for school integration in Massachusetts, showing his ahead-of-his-time commitment to racial equality.* Economic Critique of Slavery: Unlike many abolitionists who focused on moral arguments, Sumner viewed slavery as an economic system where less than 0.5% of the population (major slaveholders) dominated American politics and resources at everyone else's expense.* The Power of Mentorship: Sumner was part of an extraordinary mentorship chain from Alexander Hamilton to Chancellor Kent to himself to Moorfield Storey (first NAACP president), illustrating how moral leadership passes between generations.* Contemporary Relevance: The interview connects Sumner's example to modern "moral ambition," suggesting that today's young professionals should consider using their talents for social justice rather than purely personal advancement.

Clay Edwards Show - Monday, May 12th (Ep #978) 1- We're breaking down President Trump's massive executive order to cut prescription drug prices by 30-80% using a “Most Favored Nation” policy, forcing Big Pharma to match the lowest global r2-ates. Joined by [guest names], we'll dig into how this could save Mississippians big money, rattle the pharmaceutical giants, and stir up the left. 2- Trump's hitting the ground running, folks! In just 100 days, illegal crossings are at historic lows, and he's calling Mexican cartels what they are—terrorists. This is what we voted for: a secure border and no more coddling criminals. Mississippians, are you proud or what?  3- We discuss a new phrase that's gone viral over the last week called "Black fatigue" which describes the frustration, often voiced in conservative circles, over the perceived overuse of racial narratives or "woke" policies, which some argue exhausts constructive dialogue and fuels division. 4- A Rochester, MN, woman, Shiloh Hendrix, is caught on a viral video allegedly hurling racial slurs at a 5-year-old Black kid at a playground, and it's blowing up! Rochester PD's done digging and sent the case to prosecutors, but nobody knows if charges will stick. Hendrix claims the kid stole from her, then rakes in over $675,000 online for “protection,” while the NAACP pulls $341,000 for the kid's family. The left's screaming racism; the right's yelling free speech or hoax.
