This week, an attack on the Freedom Flotilla boat, The ‘Conscience', was launched while it was off the coast of Malta. The ‘Conscience' was loaded with life-saving humanitarian aid for Gaza before being disabled. The Palestine Solidarity Network Aotearoa, has said that the attack, which happened in international waters, was a thoroughly predictable war crime committed by an “out-of-control” Israel, and shows that Israel's genocide strategy has now gone global. To talk about this, as well as how the New Zealand government should respond, Producer Max spoke with John Minto, National Co-Chair of the Palestine Solidarity Network Aotearoa.

We woke to the death of Pope Francis today so we reached out to priest whom Pope Francis defrocked in 2015 over his outspokenness on being pro life. Frank Pavone is the national director of Priests for Life and the National Co-Chair of Pro Life Voters for Trump and as always he pulls no punches in his reaction to the death of Francis. We also get reaction from Father Dennis Gill from the Philadelphia Archdiocese. Also, what in the world is SCOTUS up to halting President Trump's efforts to deport more illegal alien gang members over the weekend? Democrats are disgustingly desperate to make this analogous to the Easter holiday. Reaction and analysis from Mark Weaver, former DOJ spokesman and Constitutional scholar. Plus, the Democrats' circular firing squad for leadership continues. -For more info visit the official website: https://chrisstigall.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrisstigallshow/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChrisStigallFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/chris.stigall/Listen on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/StigallPodListen on Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/StigallShow-Help protect your wealth with real, physical gold and silver.

Tech-related business insurance is evolving fast and Anthony Dolce, our guest on this episode of Chattinn Cyber, is a thought leader at the forefront. As head of Professional Liability & Cyber Underwriting at The Hartford, he brings 25 years of industry expertise to the myriad issues shaping policy development and recommended coverages for businesses – whether tech giants or third-party users of technology. Anthony explains the differences between Cyber and Tech Errors & Omissions (E&O) policies – as well as who needs which and in what combination. He also highlights for Host March Schein, National Co-Chair of the Cyber Center for Excellence, the confluence of factors that make tech companies such attractive targets for threat actors. You'll learn about the most common – and damaging – cyber liabilities out there; things like network attacks, ransom ware assaults, data breaches, business interruption, data restoration costs and third-party vulnerabilities. And don't miss our guest's comprehensive list of best practices to control risk for companies of all kinds, whatever their core business. “Nothing's a silver bullet, but you can help mitigate potential exposure,” says Anthony, whose Connecticut-based career began in claims before migrating to underwriting. Find out what differentiates The Hartford's Tech E&O and Cyber insurance solutions and how their team of experts guarantee insureds the best possible outcomes when privacy breaches, data hacks or other negative events occur. (Hint: specialized expertise and preparedness are key!) Key Takeaways: Why taking a leap and moving to the business side at The Hartford was one of those pivotal choices that changed the course of Anthony's career – and all too the good! From claims to underwriting: How Anthony made the jump and why it has shifted his focus. About the collaborative, social elements that define much of the underwriter's process and goals. What's a Cyber Policy? If you're doing business of any kind on the internet, then you probably need some form of coverage. What's a Tech E&O Policy? If you providing a tech service of some kind, then you probably need some form of coverage. At the intersection: A look at insurance policies that simultaneously cover exposures in the realms of both Cyber and Tech C&E exposure. About the evolution of Tech E&O + Cyber and coverages required in an internet economy full of data transmittal, management and risk exposures. Why large technology companies are such high-value targets for threat actors eager to double-dip by accessing downstream secondary client information. How The Hartford differentiates itself as an established carrier with a wide array of solutions for any business eventuality: Stand-alone Tech E&O coverage. Tech E&O coverage + cyber coverage. A wide variety of mix-and-match options. Specialized tech expertise to ensure optimal insurance outcomes. About potential cyber liabilities unique to technology firms: Network cyber-attacks. Ransom ware attacks. Data breaches (and related extortion). Business interruption. Data restoration costs. Professional/product exposure due to third-party contractual, regulatory or subrogation issues. Supply chain and systemic risk: A closer look at the variety of vulnerabilities passed down to companies impacted by global industry events. Recommended best practices to note: Perform regular software composition analyses. Deploy tools to track vulnerabilities. Undertake regular code reviews, including both static and dynamic scans. Implement regular in-house or third-party security and resiliency testing. Develop a solid IRP (Incident Response Plan). Ensure that your cyber insurance carrier is an integral part of your IRP. Stage incident response table-top exercises to align all stakeholders. Establish a roll-back plan to close vulnerabilities and limit negative events.

Less than ten months to Election Day in November, a Trump-Biden rematch is looking more and more likely, even though voters surveyed consistently say that's not what they want. So the bipartisan organization No Labels continues its efforts to offer an alternative, seeking ballot access across the country while considering potential candidates for a possible unity ticket. They've had some legal fights already along with questions raised about who their donors are, something the nonprofit group is not required to disclose. Now, they're facing a different headwind, accusing other, mainly left-wing, groups of illegally trying to block their efforts and subverting voters' rights. A complaint filed with the Justice Department points to activists and party officials. This past week, FOX News Rundown host Lisa Brady spoke to former Republican North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory, a National Co-Chair of No Labels about the complaint, their movement and one progressive group's claim that they have a hidden agenda. We made some edits for time and thought you might like to listen to the whole thing. On the FOX News Rundown Extra, you'll hear even more from No Labels Co-Chair Pat McCrory and learn more about his group's mission and how they're answering their critics on both sides of the aisle.

Welcome to RIMScast. Your host is Justin Smulison, Business Content Manager at RIMS, the Risk and Insurance Management Society.   Justin visits with two guests today to discuss the RIMS Canada Conference 2023 on September 11th–14th in Ottawa! The first guest is the National Co-Chair of the RIMS Canada Conference 2023, Valerie Barber. Justin and Valerie discuss her risk career, her role with the government of Manitoba, and how Canada's provincial government is a good place to establish a risk management career. Valerie discusses some of the Plenary and educational events to expect at the RIMS Canada Conference. Valerie talks about Plenary Speakers Sinead Bovell and Melissa Agnes.   Melissa Agnes joins the episode as the second guest. Melissa is a world-renowned expert on crisis management and is the Founder and CEO of Crisis Ready Institute. She discusses consulting for agencies and large organizations, and how “Crisis Ready” beats managing a crisis as it happens. She talks about her Plenary talk for RIMS Canada Conference 2023 and what hampers people from being ready for a crisis. She shares some steps to being ready before a crisis comes and managing it when it does.   Listen in and learn to be Crisis Ready and protect your brand.   Key Takeaways: [:01] About RIMScast and the RIMS App, an exclusive benefit for RIMS members. [:32] About today's episode, where we will talk about RIMS Canada Conference 2023 and hear from one of the plenary speakers about crisis management. [:55] All about exciting, upcoming RIMS events! Registration is open for the RIMS Canada Conference 2023, which will be held September 11th–14th in Ottawa! Visit RIMSCanadaConference.ca for more information. [1:16] For those of you based in Canada, Justin needs to hear from you about a game show he will be hosting on September 13th. A link to a survey is in this episode's notes. He needs your honest feedback, so he can say, “Survey says: …” Please check out the links in this episode's notes! [1:39] On September 14th, the Spencer Educational Foundation returns to New York City for its Annual Funding Their Future Gala. The event will be held at the Cipriani on 42nd Street. A link is on this episode's notes. You can also visit SpencerEd.org. [1:56] The RIMS Western Regional Conference will be held October 4th–6th in Vail, Colorado. Visit RIMSWesternRegional.com for more information and to register. [2:08] Head to the RIMS.org/Advocacy page to find information about The RIMS Legislative Summit, which is returning to Washington, D.C. on October 25th and 26th. [2:22] We are very excited about the RIMS ERM Conference 2023, which will be held November 2nd and 3rd in Denver, Colorado! The theme is Elevate and Evolve. Registration is open, as is a call for nominations for the ERM Award of Distinction. Those submissions are due September 1st. [2:43] The first guest on today's episode is the National Co-Chair of the RIMS Canada Conference 2023. She has also been a risk leader for the government of Manitoba for more than 20 years. She will share her risk philosophies and then we will talk about RIMS Canada Conference 2023. [3:01] Justin welcomes Valerie Barber to RIMScast! [3:18] Valerie started in accounting, for an insurance agency and company. After five years, she worked in claims at a brokerage office for several years. She took a position next with the government of Manitoba in claims and loss prevention, then insurance and risk management, and later, the director of the insurance and risk management branch. [4:18] Her background in working with losses as they happened and preventing future losses was a good foundation to move into the risk management side. Valerie is going on 24 years of working with the government of Manitoba, [4:53] Valerie's employer is a small but mighty branch of the government. There are four individuals, an increase. They are now fully staffed. It was incredibly relieving for Valerie to get the third and the fourth person hired. Since she started, she has done three of the four positions in the branch. [6:40] In Canada, there are significant numbers of pubic sector risk professionals in RIMS, attending the conferences and other educational opportunities. Risk professionals that Valerie has met are quick to share knowledge and experiences they've encountered that may help others going through similar situations now. [7:46] Among the RIMS provincial membership there is an informal group called GovRIMS, that meets before the conference every year. [9:32] The theme of the RIMS Canada Conference 2023 is Risk Evolution...Be a Part of It. Risk continues to evolve in Canada, as everywhere else, as old risks develop and new risks emerge. Risk managers today have to reimagine and adapt. What worked before may not work today. [10:15] Valerie notes numerous challenges: cyber, political, financial, weather-related events, fires in Hawaii and Canada, flooding, artificial intelligence, and pandemics. In 2020 RIMS was to have Vision 2020 in Ottawa which did not occur because of COVID-19. Three years later we are finally getting there! [11:32] RIMS Canada Conference 2023 will be held on September 11–14 in Ottawa, the beautiful capital city of Canada, named by CNN Travel as one of the best destinations to visit in 2023. There are many local attractions. Shops, the ByWard Market, Parliament buildings, and National Museums are close to Shaw Convention Centre. [12:50] The Shaw Convention Centre is exceptional, with stunning views of the canals and city skyline. The Conference Centre is very spacious to accommodate all aspects of the conference, including the opening night reception, the plenary sessions, concurrent sessions, and the exhibit hall, which we are pleased to say was sold out in space. [13:54] The Plenary Sessions feature speakers who are making an impact on the risk landscape with their followers. Day 1's plenary is Melissa Agnes, who is recognized as a leading authority on crisis preparedness, reputation management, and brand protection. There are many crises out there for which we need to be prepared. [14:45] It will be interesting to learn the types of strategies and the secrets to successful crisis management. The next big event is potentially around the corner, globally, nationally, or in our backyards. [15:28] The second featured Plenary Speaker, Sinead Bovell, is a future-of-work expert. She will discuss the future of AI in her address. AI is a prime example of risk revolution. An AI-related age discrimination case has been filed recently. AI hiring software was rejecting candidates over certain ages. [16:49] Valerie is interested in learning about the good things that will be happening with AI in risk management. [17:06] Closing out RIMS Canada Conference 2023 on September 14th is Lt. General Roméo Dallaire, an international champion of human rights, a mental health advocate, and a leadership & crisis management expert. Lt. General Dallaire is a Canadian national treasure not only for his military background but also for the work he's done afterward. [18:27] The RIMS CRMP Exam Prep will be a pre-conference workshop on September 10th and 11th on-site. See the link on this episode's notes.

[23:37] Our next guest, Melissa Agnes, is a world-renowned authority on crisis management and the Founder and CEO of Crisis Ready Institute. She will kick off the RIMS Canada Conference 2023 on September 11th with the Plenary Session. Melissa joins us today to provide a brief preview and talk about her risk management career. [24:03] Justin welcomes Melissa Agnes to RIMScast and introduces her. Melissa has advised people around the world from all walks of life. She has worked with NATO and other notable agencies and organizations to help them understand risk and build invincible brands that can withstand even the most devastating of events. [25:01] Global agencies and governments are slow to create change. One of the great things for Melissa is to work with the individuals who recognize the slowness of the change process and continue to advocate internally to uplevel the organization's skillset in crisis response. [25:49] Around the world in governments and agencies, Melissa finds incredible people with thankless jobs where even their stakeholders don't understand the complexity of their roles and there are a lot of negative viewpoints, yet they continue to work to level up their skillset and bring the cultural component of “crisis ready” to the organization. [26:38] Melissa coined the term “crisis ready” about 14 years ago. It came out of her frustration with the status quo of crisis preparedness. Melissa didn't agree with the status quo. She created a definition for “crisis ready” that is similar to but more than crisis preparedness. She started it as a hashtag, #CrisisReady, and it became a brand. [27:23] Crisis ready is about having a culture. It's not about having a crisis management plan document that sits on a shelf but about developing a program that permeates the organization. It consists of the mindset, skillset, and capabilities designed to respond to crisis in a way that strengthens trust. [28:07] Melissa explains about measuring trust. You can feel it. It's just not easily quantifiable. That's part of the struggle. In organizations, getting buy-in support for the “crisis-ready” culture is universally the biggest challenge that I experience. [28:51] No matter how “crisis ready” an organization is, there's constantly the obstacle of gaining buy-in and support. It's against human nature to talk about the negative. They don't understand what a strength-building positive it is to get past viewing “crisis ready” as a negative. [29:33] In her future presentations and book, Melissa will be talking about the five hindrances people face in getting “crisis ready” or dealing with crises as they occur. It's against our human nature to get ready. The five hindrances are avoidance, ego, fear, ignorance, and politics. [31:23] Melissa's advice for non-profits: First, go through your core values and make sure that they are your foundation, what you stand for, and why you exist. Make sure that you're living by them. Second, in alignment with the first, know how to respond to controversy. Controversy is a big part of the world, There is a tactic for responding. [32:24] When responding to controversy, be thoughtful, decisive, clear, and quiet. Being thoughtful means looking at the controversy, understanding what it is, and understanding the emotion and how it drives the controversy and complicates things. [33:26] Understand why it is controversial and divisive. Understand where it aligns with your core values. If you think you can appease everyone, you will have a hard awakening. Don't try to make everybody happy. [34:31] Being decisive means taking a stance. If you don't, it looks like you are trying to appease everyone. Instead, you will lose everyone. State your core values and the stance you are taking in alignment with your core values. [35:13] Being clear means being as clear and concise as you can in your response to the controversy. Talk about your core values. Do not leave room for ambiguity. Talk about why you're taking the stance that you are in alignment with those core values. It needs to be concise and clear. People may not like it, but they can respect it. [36:08] Being quiet comes when you have been thoughtful, decisive, and clear; there will be nothing left to say. Let the conversation unfold by itself. Let your advocates come to your defense. Let those who are upset have the space to validate how they feel and then they'll move on. Then you can move forward with recovery. [36:59] Often it takes an unfortunate situation for people to wake up and see they're not ready. At the beginning of her career, Melissa learned that she wanted her brand to be Crisis Ready, not crisis management. Crisis is an emotional time. Unless Melissa has a relationship with the leadership team before the crisis, her job is 100 times harder! [38:00] Without a prior relationship, it's hard for Melissa in the moment to help the organization cross that border of fear and ego. People get in their own way, and Melissa feels that she didn't do as well as she could have for them because they blocked it. [38:35] Melissa decided that she would build relationships before clients were hit with a crisis, so when they got in crisis, Melissa could kick into gear and serve them instead of fighting against their human nature of self-protection. She never wants to waste energy selling something to somebody who isn't ready. She started her brand with a clear blog. [40:04] A crisis can stem from social media or a physical event. We live in a complex world. A crisis has to hit certain criteria to be a crisis. If you call every social media issue a social media crisis, some people will not take it as seriously. [41:13] Melissa sat on the panel that developed the updated International Standard for Crisis Management, or ISO 22361. That was pre-pandemic, in 2019. It was a UK committee but Melissa Canadian, based in the U.S. Melissa says it was a huge honor to be put on this panel. It's always interesting to work by committee, but it was great. [42:59] Melissa can spot her influence in the standard. No one person can create all of that alone. She feels proud of the collective efforts and collaboration of the committee and their lived experiences that contributed to creating that whole. [44:06] Melissa is very excited about RIMS Canada Conference 2023! She will be bringing to the stage something that she can't find anywhere else. The message is so important so she has so much passion for sharing what she's going to share and engaging and interacting with the audience. She feels very honored to be able to do that. [44:47] Without ego, Melissa says she hopes the audience will listen in. She is passionate about this message in the talk she's been giving this year. It lights her up. Melissa doesn't believe we've been set up for success in our society, from kindergarten straight through, and that will be part of her message.

They continue to advocate  internally for the need to uplevel their skillset in crisis response.” — Melissa Agnes   “In these large organizations, … getting buy-in support [for a ‘crisis ready' culture] is universally the biggest challenge that I and anybody in my shoes, whether they're consultants or they're internally advocating for this, experience.” — Melissa Agnes

Nina Turner talks about her latest congressional race, which she lost, where the Congressional Progressives Caucus was, & what's next for her. Amy Vilela talks about her own congressional race for Nevada's First District. https://twitter.com/amy4thepeople https://twitter.com/ninaturner Amy Vilela grew up in poverty, relying on programs like WIC & SNAP in order to make ends meet as a single-mother. She took classes at night while working multiple jobs to become the first in her family to earn a degree. She became a national advocate for Medicare for All after her daughter Shalynne died at the hands of our nation's profit-driven healthcare system. After working her way up to become a CFO, Amy has since retooled her professional experience to provide vital campaign services to other progressive candidates. In 2020, serving as a State Co-chair, Amy led the charge for Bernie Sanders' landslide victory in the Nevada caucuses. The Vilelas first moved to Nevada when her husband, Major David Vilela, was transferred to Creech Air Force Base. If elected, she would be the first ever active duty military spouse to serve in Congress. In addition to Congresswoman Cori Bush & Senator Nina Turner, Amy's campaign has attracted national attention and has been endorsed by Brand New Congress, Sunrise Movement Las Vegas, the Center for Biological Diversity & more. Nina Turner, the oldest of seven children, grew up in a working-class family in Cleveland's Lee-Harvard community. Her Mother was a nurse's aide & her Father was a truck driver. Experiencing the impact of income inequality firsthand, Turner took her first job at age 14 to help support her siblings & keep the family afloat. Turner's Mother battled high blood pressure her entire life & died at age 42. This experience exposed to Turner the serious problems with our health care system, especially for Black & lower-income families. After working her way through college and graduate school (she earned an Associate's Degree from Cuyahoga Community College & a Bachelor's and Master's from Cleveland State University), she started a career dedicated to keeping Ohio working families afloat too. Turner made history in 2005 as the first African American woman to represent Ward One on the Cleveland City Council, & again in 2008 as the first African American woman to serve as a State Senator in Ohio's 25th District. In the legislature, Turner repeatedly defended against attacks on women's health care freedom & partnered with working families & organized labor to protect collective bargaining rights. As a champion for criminal justice reform, she led the effort to create Ohio's first task force on police & community relations in the wake of tragic police killings in Ohio & across the country. Turner went on to serve as the Chair of Party Engagement for the Ohio Democratic Party, leading the effort to build a more robust & inclusive organizing infrastructure & support for local Democratic candidates across the State. Turner took her record of accomplishment & commitment to justice nationwide when she became a national surrogate for Bernie Sanders' 2016 Presidential campaign & National Co-Chair for Bernie 2020. In those roles, she traveled coast to coast building support for progressive values such as a $15 living wage, free education from kindergarten through college & health care as a human right in the form of Medicare for All. Between those two campaigns, Turner also served as the President of the national grassroots political organization “Our Revolution.” Nina Turner is a wife, mother & proud grandmother. A former Assistant Professor of History at her alma mater Cuyahoga Community College, she is also the current host of the “Hello Somebody” podcast on iHeartRadio. ***Please support The Katie Halper Show *** On Patreon https://www.patreon.com/thekatiehalpershow Follow Katie on Twitter: https://twitter.com/kthalps Callin link: https://www.callin.com/episode/nina-turner-amy-vilela-qsJgTwzHDK

Jason Stuart talks the ups and downs of his career,  writing his book, and a few audition stories that will make your jaw drop! About Jason: When you think one of the most prolific character actors, who's also an outrageous openly gay stand-up comedian, one name comes to mind…. Jason Stuart. Stuart has been asking this question for the last few years. When you break the ground do you get to walk on it? After years of steady work in film & television and on stage, with over 250 credits on his IMDB page, Jason Stuart has achieved a pinnacle of success. “For the last few years, people have started to approach me and say ‘you're that guy,'” he explains with his characteristic gravelly laugh. Stuart is the co-star, co-writer and co-producer of the hit Amazon comedy series “Smothered" along with Mitch Hara. The outrageous series tells the tale of a longtime hateful gay Jewish couple who cannot stand each other... BUT can't afford to get divorced. He also just completed an episode of "Goliath" starring Billy Bob Thornton opposite J.K. Simmons on Amazon. Currently he is featured in the thriller "Immortal" opposite Samm Levine, starring Dylan Baker, Tony Todd and Robin Barlett. As “Joe”, a private detective who deals with spy equipment, available now on demand. Next up, he plays a Polish immigrant in the dark comedy “Tribes" starring & produced by Jake Hunter that had its premiere at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival and Cann Film Festival. From filmmaker Nino Aldi also starring Jake Hunter, Adam Waheed and DeStorm Power.He has wowed TV audiences with guest roles on such shows as Swedish Dicks (Keanu Reeves), Love (Judd Apatow), Sleepy Hollow, Real Rob, Entourage, The Closer, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, House, Everybody Hates Chris, George Lopez, Will & Grace, Charmed and as “Dr. Thomas" on My Wife and Kids.Stuart has nabbed the title role in Hongyu “Neo” Li's sophomore film “Hank" now on REVRY. Stuart has received rave reviews and the film has received several award nominations and wins. Li approached Stuart with the part of Hank after watching his performances in the Sundance hits “Tangerine" as “Joey the doorman”, the comedy made on iPhone and the historical drama, "The Birth Of A Nation" — the latter Stuart's breakthrough performance as a southern plantation owner. His autobiography "Shut Up, I'm Talking!" has been getting great reviews on Amazon from CCB Publishing. It's the funny, poignant story of a gay Jewish boy whose life changed after seeing "Funny Girl" at a second-run movie theatre in Hollywood. “I thought to myself, I'm in love with Omar Sharif – who am I left to be but Barbra Streisand! And I'm a guy... Oy!” It's about surviving a crazy family who survived the Holocaust and clearing up the wreckage of one's past while learning how to become a man. As is his new stand up comedy Album “I'm The Daddy And I Have Candy”. His work as an activist has always been a big part of his life. He has stated that “when you go up in the elevator of success, take people with you”. With that said, Stuart is currently the National Co-Chair of the SAG AFTRA LGBT Committee. He was honored with the Jose Julio Sarria International Civil Rights Award, which was presented by the International Imperial Court System and The Persist Award for his work with the union.

In today’s final episode of “Reparations Are Coming,” we hear the remaining panelists share their final thoughts on witnessing history, and as Mark calls it, the “unfinished business of America.” These panelists are deeply ingrained in the fight for reparations, and they express their gratitude for those who work alongside them, as well as the giants whose shoulders they stand upon, as we watch the bill advance to the House of Representatives. Panelists: Kamm Howard, National Co-Chair of NCOBRA; Kennis Henry, Chairperson of NCOBRA Legislative Committee; Reverend Dr. JoAnn Watson, Senior Pastor of Westside Unity Church; Dr. Raymond Winbush, Director of the Institute for Urban Research; Nkechi Taifa, Founder & Principal CEO of Taifa Group LLC; Dr. Ron Daniels, President of the Institute of the Black World Conference; Dr. Greg Kimathi Carr, Professor of Africana Studies, Howard University

History is captured in today’s episode as we hear the Judiciary Committee vote to approve the reparations bill, H.R. 40, advancing it to the floor of the House of Representatives. The panelists discuss the GOP’s strategy to obfuscate the discussion on reparations with a mention of “packing the court,” or more accurately known as expanding the court. You’ll hear the historic vote as well as initial reactions from the panelists as they focus on the next big question: what happens now? Panelists: Kamm Howard, National Co-Chair of NCOBRA; Kennis Henry, Chairperson of NCOBRA Legislative Committee; Reverend Dr. JoAnn Watson, Senior Pastor of Westside Unity Church; Dr. Raymond Winbush, Director of the Institute for Urban Research; Nkechi Taifa, Founder & Principal CEO of Taifa Group LLC; Dr. Ron Daniels, President of the Institute of the Black World Conference; Dr. Greg Kimathi Carr, Professor of Africana Studies, Howard University Executive Producer: Adell Coleman Producer: Brittany Temple Distributor: DCP Entertainment For additional content: makeitplain.com

On April 14th, for the first time in history, the House Judiciary Committee voted in favor of the reparations bill, H.R. 40, which would establish the commission to study reparations proposals. As the bill was getting marked up on Capitol Hill, Mark moderated a panel of some of the key players in the reparations movement, and we’ll be bringing you that motivating conversation all week long. In today’s discussion, the panelists explain what it means for a bill to get “marked up” and they unravel the complicated process of (hopefully) getting this bill passed. They also explore the misrepresentations of the movement, and parse the relationship between local versus national reparations. Panelists: Kamm Howard, National Co-Chair of NCOBRA; Kennis Henry, Chairperson of NCOBRA Legislative Committee; Reverend Dr. JoAnn Watson, Senior Pastor of Westside Unity Church; Dr. Raymond Winbush, Director of the Institute for Urban Research; Nkechi Taifa, Founder & Principal CEO of Taifa Group LLC; Dr. Ron Daniels, President of the Institute of the Black World Conference; Dr. Greg Kimathi Carr, Professor of Africana Studies, Howard University Executive Producer: Adell Coleman Producer: Brittany Temple Distributor: DCP Entertainment For additional content: makeitplain.com

As the bill was getting marked up on Capitol Hill, Mark moderated a panel of some of the key players in the reparations movement, and we’ll be bringing you that motivating conversation all week long. Today begins with part one, where the panelists discuss the reasons why reparations are still necessary, how we can get there, what the long-fault battle has been like, and how we can get to the point where we are seeing a range of remedies that would produce healing for Black people.  Panelists: Kamm Howard, National Co-Chair of NCOBRA; Kennis Henry, Chairperson of NCOBRA Legislative Committee; Reverend Dr. JoAnn Watson, Senior Pastor of Westside Unity Church; Dr. Raymond Winbush, Director of the Institute for Urban Research; Nkechi Taifa, Founder & Principal CEO of Taifa Group LLC; Dr. Ron Daniels, President of the Institute of the Black World Conference Executive Producer: Adell Coleman Producer: Brittany Temple Distributor: DCP Entertainment For additional content: makeitplain.com

The House passed an expansive policing overhaul bill in honor of George Floyd. Will this protect communities of color? On this episode of "Be Heard Talk," Candace Hollingsworth, the National Co-Chair of Our Black Party, addressed this new legislation, the upcoming murder trial of Derek Chauvin, and the push for a Black agenda under the Biden administration.

As the fate of the reparations bill, H.R. 40, continues to hang in the balance, Mark talks with Kamm Howard, National Co-Chair of the National Coalition of Blacks for Reparations in America (NCOBRA). Kamm details the next steps in the legal process, and responds to Herschel Walker’s comments that denied African Americans’ need and right for reparations.

So the 2020 election is in the history books. On Thursday, November 5th – two days after the polls closed – we hosted the first ever live episode of Sorry Not Sorry to put it in perspective. Our guests had such great information, and so many smart things to say that I know you’ll forgive the slightly less than perfect audio that comes from a live streamed event. At the time, it was clear that Biden has a significant popular vote margin, and was then about four million votes ahead of Donald Trump. But, despite that big win, the electoral college was not settled. Disunity still in our country, with a huge divide between Trump’s supporters and Biden’s supporters over the fundamental questions of what it means to be American. But the issues in this election go far wider than the presidency. Control of the senate still hangs in the balance, and won’t be decided until January. The conronavirus just reached its highest daily rate of new infections since the pandemic started and the fate of the affordable care act will decided by the Supreme Court, and what happens with healthcare by the new government next year. More than 100,000 Americans are victims of gun violence each year, and 40,000 of them die. And we can’t find the families of more than 500 immigrant children we separated at the border. It’s a lot. To help us make sense of it all, I’ve invited an incredible group of experts here tonight. We were joined by E.J. Dionne of the Washington Post and Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution and the author of Code Red: How Progressives and Moderates Can Unite to Save Our Country, Jesse Wegman is a member of the New York Times Editorial Board and the author of Let the People Pick the President: The Case for Abolishing the Electoral College, Po Murray is Chair of the Newtown Action Alliance, Laura Packard is National Co-Chair of Health Care Voter, and Hassan Ahmad is an immigration attorney and immigrant rights activist. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/alyssa-milano-sorry-not-sorry/message

Our guest today is California Senator, Maria Elena Durazo. Maria Elena was born the 7th of 11 children to migrant workers. It was at a young age that Maria Elena first experienced the exploitative conditions and challenges migrant laborers face. In spite of the obstacles of being born into a migrant working family, Maria Elena went on to earn her college degree from St. Mary’s College, which is where she became involved with the Chicano movement. Following her studies, she entered the labor movement as an organizer with what would later become UNITE-HERE. While working she also received her degree from the People College of Law. In 2004 Maria Elena became the Executive Vice-President of UNITE-HERE International and In 2008 she served as the vice-chair to the DNC and National Co-Chair of the Obama Presidential Campaign.

In 2018 Maria Elena was elected to serve public office as Senator of the 24th district of California.

Dr. Liz Theoharis, National Co-Chair of the Poor People’s Campaign, about the campaign, its faith-rooted vision, and how the movement presents a concrete way to shift our political economy, uproot white supremacy, and expand the decision-making power of workers in a way that emerges from our religious and ethical traditions.

"51 Days: In Conversation with Nina Turner" Nina Turner, National Co-Chair Bernie Sanders for President 2016 & 2018 She is the "hell-raising humanitarian" for marginalized people and is one of Sanders's best-known surrogates. She's a former Ohio state senator who has made her name advocating for voting rights. Articulate, engaging, and perceptive, Nina Turner offers a prescient vision of the future and inspires us to advance our own humanity For the marginalized — for those who believe in “the America” that was promised, Nina Turner is the speaker and activist that’ll motivate people to take action on the needs of the many and not the few. We need to figure out what to do with them. What voter participation strategies are essential and how do we implement them in the time that we have? What and how to meet the challenges of both options presented on Nov. 3rd. What of the Electoral College? What of the legal and corruption challenges before us?

Our latest episode of "Heart of a Heartless World" is a recording of the latest webinar put on by the Religion & Socialist working group. On July 16th, Linda Sarsour, the co-founder of Until Freedom and former co-chair of the Women’s March, spoke with Rev.

This Thursday, August 20th, at 7:30pm EDT, Rev. Wilkes will be in conversation with Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis, National Co-Chair of the Poor People’s Campaign, on how to build an inclusive movement for economic justice. We hope you enjoy the podcast, and can join us at the webinar!

There is no doubt who would be in charge of a Joe Biden presidency. He has become the radicals' best radical, and his embrace of the far-left’s disastrous proposals would ruin America. From their deranged movement to defund the police to their shameful manipulation of the coronavirus pandemic to promote fraudulent universal mail-in voting, Joe Biden and his socialist base have shown they want to fundamentally change our country for the worse. President Trump has delivered for all Americans through his Promises Made, Promises Kept and will always be a champion for the American people. National Co-Chair of Women for Trump Dr. Gina Loudon and Chairman of Students for Trump Charlie Kirk discuss all this and more. Hosted by Lara Trump. Text TRUMP to 88022!
