Send us a textIn this conversation, Will Wright and Pastor Josh Burtram are joined by Amanda Carpenter, an author, writer, and editor at Protect Democracy. They discuss the potential rise of authoritarianism in America if Trump is reelected and how his administration has focused on consolidating executive power and dismantling checks and balances. They highlight the importance of institutions like Congress, the courts, and the civil service in containing authoritarianism, but express concerns about their vulnerability. They also discuss the role of elections as a constraint on authoritarianism and the need for a broad opposition network to counter its rise. The conversation explores the potential threats to democracy and the role of various institutions in safeguarding it. The principal themes include the importance of focusing on priorities that protect the right to disagree and resolve differences through elections, the role of the media in countering authoritarianism, the impact of Trump's manipulation of the church and religion, the potential challenges in confirming Trump's cabinet in a second term, the exploitation of unconventional legal arguments to solidify power, and the risks of future elections being undermined or delayed. The conversation emphasizes the need for voters to consider the consequences and make informed choices.Learn more about the work Protect Democracy is doing: https://protectdemocracy.org/Guest Bio:Amanda Carpenter is a writer and editor at Protect Democracy.

Former President Donald Trump held an audition of sorts on Saturday for his top vice presidential picks. At least seven known Veep wannabes attended the Republican National Committee's spring retreat at Mar-a-Lago, including South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance, House GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, Florida Rep. Byron Donalds, and South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott. The attention-seeking behavior continued into the Sunday talk shows when Scott refused to say whether or not he would accept the 2024 election results during an appearance on NBC's “Meet the Press.”And in headlines: Israel and Hamas traded blame over an impasse in the latest round of cease-fire negotiations, the Israeli government shuttered Al Jazeera's news operation in the country and raided one of its offices, and the first civil trial over the lethal crowd surge at rapper Travis Scott's 2021 Astroworld music festival has been delayed over a free speech claim by Apple.

Jim and Greg finish a very long and busy week by mulling over the four names reported to be on Trump's VP short list, some concerning signs in the April jobs report, and President Biden taking a page from Barack Obama's guide to political pandering.First, they consider the pros and cons of the four figures reported to be under serious consideration to be Donald Trump's running mate. What benefits do North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, and Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance potentially bring to the ticket and what are their liabilities?Next, they size up the April jobs report - which showed positive job growth but not as much as expected. Plus, they highlight the massive number of Americans who have stopped looking for work and dropped out of the labor force.Finally, they discuss President Biden's election year ploy to add DACA recipients (people who were brought to the U.S. illegally by their parents) to Obamacare. And guess who gets to pay for those health care bills?
On CNN's State of the Union, Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham tells Dana Bash that he will still support Donald Trump for president even if he's convicted in his hush money trial. Then, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders tells Dana that antisemitic displays at college protests must be condemned but that they shouldn't distract from criticism of Netanyahu's handling in Gaza. Next, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass joins Dana to discuss the protests at USC and UCLA as well as her efforts to combat homelessness. After, Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin tells Dana that he will protect peaceful protests in Virginia but not “hate speech and intimidation.” Finally, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), Ana Navarro, SE Cupp, and David Urban join Dana to discuss the White House Correspondents Dinner and troubling new poll numbers for President Biden.

Senators reconvened in Washington this week to negotiate a crucial deal that intertwines U.S. border security issues with foreign aid for Ukraine and Israel. While lawmakers have expressed optimism about reaching an agreement, there remains a significant divide over policy changes at the U.S.-Mexico border. West Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin emphasized the focus is on border security rather than comprehensive immigration reform. Echoing this sentiment, Delaware Sen. Chris Coons said there is a "border security crisis." On the other hand, Republicans led by South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, are pushing for what they are calling substantial new border policies. He expressed concern for national security, stating he will not support aid to Ukraine, Taiwan, or Israel without first addressing the border. The challenge for the Senate is to devise a plan that not only garners bipartisan support but can also be passed by the House, which is already adjourned for the year.

South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott is dropping out of the 2024 Republican presidential race. Many women and children who qualify for a federal nutrition program never apply for benefits. And Caitlin Clark sets a new scoring record for women's basketball at the University of Iowa.
Hour 1 - Good Monday morning! Here's what Nick Reed covers this hour: South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott announced Sunday he is suspending his 2024 presidential campaign. New York City Mayor Eric Adams' electronic devices were seized by the FBI this week as part of the investigation into whether his 2021 campaign received illegal donations from the Turkish government. New York City Mayor Eric Adams' office lashed out Sunday against any FBI employee who might have "improperly leaked details" of a federal corruption probe implicating Hizzoner. Former President Donald Trump entered Madison Square Garden for Saturday night's UFC fights to a loud ovation from the crowd, flanked by an entourage of Kid Rock, Tucker Carlson, Dana White and son Don Jr. Meanwhile, illegal immigrants chanted "Biden! Biden!" as they head to our open border.
AP correspondent Donna Warder reports on a surprise move by U.S. presidential candidate Senator Tim Scott.
Just days after his participation in the GOP debate and introducing his girlfriend to the public, South Carolina Senator Tim Scott has decided to suspend his presidential campaign. Despite early fundraising momentum, Scott's decision to withdraw comes as no surprise to many within the political sphere. As the Republican field adjusts to Scott's departure, former President Trump remains the frontrunner, despite his countless indictments from New York to Georgia to Florida, and refusing to participate in any of the Republican debates. Scott's announcement underscores the Trump-dominated nature of the GOP race, where factors such as polling dynamics, campaign strategies, and unexpected events appear to have no impact on Trump being the frontrunner.

The third Republican debate. On Wednesday night, five Republican candidates took the stage in Miami, Florida, to debate foreign policy, abortion, former President Donald Trump's record, and the economy. To qualify for the third debate, candidates needed to poll above 4% in either two national surveys or in one national survey and two surveys from early-nominating states. Each candidate also needed to receive more than 70,000 individual donations. The Iowa caucuses for Republicans begin in just over two months. On stage were Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. Former President Trump, who is leading in the polls, skipped the debate for the third time. You can read today's podcast here and today's “Have a nice day” story here.

Larry Elder, the conservative voice who claimed election fraud in California's recall with no proof and controversially suggested that slave owners deserve reparations, is feeling the burn of exclusion, this time from the Republican presidential debate. Elder cried foul on digital platform X, formerly known as Twitter, asserting the Republican National Committee's snub felt all too familiar. The RNC has announced the lineup of eight participants for the first primary debate (Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis; Vivek Ramaswamy; former Vice President Mike Pence; former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley; former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie; South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott; former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum), but Elder insists he's met every mark to be center stage. While notable names like Ron DeSantis are in, the candidate leading in the polls, former President Donald Trump, opted out. Another Black candidate, Will Hurd, will not be on stage either. The irony is Elder is once again feeling sidelined, especially in a party he staunchly supports. Is Elder's exclusion a genuine oversight or another episode of his ongoing drama with the GOP?

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), one of Capitol Hill's leading voices on student loan forgiveness, owes the Department of Education up to $50,000 in student loans, according to the New Yorker's recent financial disclosure. The filing, which was reviewed by the Washington Examiner, documented that the congresswoman owed the department between $15,000 and $50,000 for her student loans as of 2022. That same year, Ocasio-Cortez led the call for the Biden administration to cancel thousands of dollars in loans for each student. "Now would be a great time to cancel student loan debt, take significant climate action, and pass voting rights," Ocasio-Cortez posted on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, in May 2022 in response to a Marist poll that showed President Joe Biden had a low approval rating among young adults. Ocasio-Cortez's student loan debt was already known, as the congresswoman's 2021 financial disclosure showed her holding up to $50,000 in liability. Biden revealed his student loan forgiveness plan in August 2022 to forgive up to $20,000 worth of student loan debt for borrowers who make under $125,000 a year individually or $250,000 for married couples. Members of Congress earn an annual salary of $174,000. Although Ocasio-Cortez celebrated the plan, she called for more forgiveness for people who owed even more debt. "It was YOUR pushing, YOUR pressure, YOUR organizing that got them to this point," Ocasio-Cortez posted on Instagram. "I am very grateful for this watershed moment of a first step — it is so encouraging, thrilling, and has already changed SO many people's lives. But I am also thinking about how this still leaves a question mark for those in the highest amounts of debt, who need the most amount of help. So let's celebrate and keep going." Fellow "Squad" member Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) is among those who owe money, with Tlaib owing more than $100,000 to the Department of Education for her law degree. Tlaib pushed for the Biden administration to forgive at least $50,000 in student loan debt for individual borrowers last year. More Trump news now… https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2023/08/15/morning-consult-poll-trump-boasts-41-point-lead-one-week-ahead-republican-debate/ Trump Boasts 41-Point Lead One Week Ahead of Republican Debate Former President Donald Trump is boasting a 41-point lead in the Republican primary roughly one week ahead of the first GOP debate, which will take place in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on August 23. The survey found Trump maintaining majority support, with 57 percent of potential Republican primary viewers choosing him as their candidate, despite ongoing legal troubles which have not had a negative effect on him. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who has attempted to revamp his campaign over the last few months — from laying off dozens of staffers to replacing his campaign manager — remains in a distant second place, 41 points behind Trump with 16 percent support. Anti-woke businessman Vivek Ramaswamy comes in third place, just seven percent behind DeSantis with nine percent support. Former Vice President Mike Pence came in fourth place with seven percent support, followed by South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who all saw three percent support. All others listed saw one percent support or less. That portion of the survey was taken August 11-13, among 3,064 potential Republican primary voters and has a +/- 2 percent margin of error. Again, the survey shows choices for a second-choice candidate diversifying, as 36 percent of Trump supporters choose DeSantis as their second choice, followed by nearly one-quarter, 23 percent, who chose Ramaswamy. Another 11 percent said Pence, followed by five percent who said Haley and Scott, and 14 percent unsure. Similarly, 37 percent of DeSantis supporters chose Trump as their second-choice candidate, followed by 21 percent who said Ramaswamy, 14 percent who said Pence, 12 percent who said Haley, eight percent who chose Scott, and three percent who remain unsure. The survey coincides with the latest Kaplan Strategies poll, which shows Trump leading with 48 percent support, Ramaswamy moving to second place with 11 percent support, and DeSantis falling to third with ten percent. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2023/08/15/biden-promises-700-per-household-in-maui-less-than-what-is-spent-on-ukraine/ Biden Promises Maui Fire Survivors $700 Per Household — Less Than What Is Spent on Ukraine President Joe Biden announced Monday that survivors of the Maui fires would receive “a one-time $700 payment per household,” after he faced criticism for telling a reporter he had “no comment” on the rising death toll. His account posted: “We’re laser-focused on getting aid to survivors, including Critical Needs Assistance: a one-time $700 payment per household offering relief during an unimaginably difficult time.” The one-time payment of $700 per household is less than the estimated cost to each American household for the Ukraine War, according to a budget expert at the Heritage Foundation. Richard Stern, director of The Heritage Foundation’s Grover M. Hermann Center for the Federal Budget, calculated that the congressionally-approved aid to Ukraine of $113 billion amounts to roughly $900 per American household. “The formal aid packages alone amount to a staggering $113 billion — roughly $900 per American household and almost 12 times the spending cuts promised by House leadership in the annual spending bills,” Stern said in an email to The Daily Signal, Heritage’s news outlet. Furthermore, he said the $113 billion would cost more than $300 in interest costs per household over the decade. On Thursday, as the Maui fires continued burning, Biden asked Congress for an additional $20 billion more in aid for Ukraine. https://www.dailyfetched.com/us-homeless-population-balloons-as-biden-seeks-millions-to-house-illegal-migrants/ US Homeless Population Balloons as Biden Seeks Millions to House Illegal Migrants The homeless population in the US is rapidly increasing at a record pace as Joe Biden seeks hundreds of millions of American taxpayer money to house illegal migrants across the country. According to new data published by the Wall Street Journal, over 577,000 Americans are homeless today, representing an 11 percent increase compared to 2022. The increase “would represent by far the biggest recorded increase since the government started tracking comparable numbers in 2007,” the Journal notes/ “The next highest increase was a 2.7% jump in 2019, excluding an artificially high increase last year caused by pandemic counting interruptions,” the outlet adds. Out of the nearly 600,000 homeless Americans, 150,000 are considered chronically homeless because they have lived on the streets for over a year, with many suffering from mental illness. Despite the homeless problem, Biden is asking Congress to approve hundreds of millions in American taxpayer dollars for a housing development project for illegal migrants. As The Daily Fetched reported last week, Biden is asking for more funds as part of a $40 billion emergency funding request to Congress. The request includes a whopping $2.7 billion for the Department of Homeland Security’s various border efforts. There are 57,300 migrants in the city, with an estimated 100,000 that will need services by June 2025. Adams admitted that the massive increase in migrants could cost the city as much as $12 billion over the next three years. As Breitbart noted: “Much of the taxpayer money would end up in the hands of left-wing non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that have profited immensely from illegal immigration in recent years via federal contracts with DHS. Border crossers and illegal aliens who would get to take advantage of the housing project would likely stay for an extended period of time, as a sample size of DHS data recently found that fewer than 2-in-10 are being placed into deportation proceedings after release into the U.S. interior.” Now in entertainment news… slash sports. https://www.boundingintosports.com/2023/08/all-lies-retired-nfl-player-michael-oher-says-biographical-film-the-blind-side-mostly-made-up-was-never-adopted-by-the-tuohys/ All Lies: Retired NFL Player Michael Oher Says Biographical Film ‘The Blind Side’ Mostly Made Up, Was Never ‘Adopted’ By The Tuohys Michael Oher, the retired NFL star depicted in the 2009 film The Blind Side, filed a petition Monday in Shelby County, Tennessee probate court challenging the portrayal of his “adoption” by the now-famous Tuohy family. According to the 14-page petition, the Tuohys never formally adopted Oher. Instead, they allegedly had him sign conservatorship documents shortly after he turned 18 in 2004, giving them the authority to make business decisions on his behalf. Oher claims he was unaware of the specifics, believing all along that he had been adopted by the family. Oher accuses the family of also profiting from the popular film about his story, which grossed over $300 million, while he received nothing. Oher stated that the Tuohy’s wealth and notoriety “would not have existed without him.” Since the film came out in 2009, the Tuohys have continued to profit off of Oher using the, as Oher claims, false story to enrich themselves. The Tuohy family did not immediately respond for comment when reached out to by ESPN. Oher’s petition seeks an end to the conservatorship, prohibits the Tuohys from using his name and likeness, and demands an accounting of the profits they derived using his story. In previous statements, the Tuohys claimed they shared their movie earnings with Oher. However, the NFL star’s trust in the family eroded over time, especially due to the film’s portrayal of him. “The lie of Michael’s adoption is one upon which Co-Conservators Leigh Anne Tuohy and Sean Tuohy have enriched themselves at the expense of their Ward, the undersigned Michael Oher,” says Oher’s official legal filing. “Michael Oher discovered this lie to his chagrin and embarrassment in February of 2023, when he learned that the Conservatorship to which he consented on the basis that doing so would make him a member of the Tuohy family, in fact provided him no familial relationship with the Tuohys. “Since at least August of 2004, Conservators have allowed Michael, specifically, and the public, generally, to believe that Conservators adopted Michael and have used that untruth to gain financial advantages for themselves and the foundations which they own or which they exercise control,” the petition continues. “All monies made in said manner should in all conscience and equity be disgorged and paid over to the said ward, Michael Oher.” Legally, adoption would have made Oher a Tuohy family member with financial autonomy. However, under the conservatorship, the Tuohys had financial control. The petition claims the Tuohys negotiated the movie deal after the 2006 book “The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game,” and received $225,000 each and 2.5% of the film’s net proceeds.

B-O-H-N-E-T MA.com/crosspolitic https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/house/aoc-owed-up-to-50k-student-loans-cancellation AOC owed up to $50,000 in student loans while leading calls for debt cancellation Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), one of Capitol Hill's leading voices on student loan forgiveness, owes the Department of Education up to $50,000 in student loans, according to the New Yorker's recent financial disclosure. The filing, which was reviewed by the Washington Examiner, documented that the congresswoman owed the department between $15,000 and $50,000 for her student loans as of 2022. That same year, Ocasio-Cortez led the call for the Biden administration to cancel thousands of dollars in loans for each student. "Now would be a great time to cancel student loan debt, take significant climate action, and pass voting rights," Ocasio-Cortez posted on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, in May 2022 in response to a Marist poll that showed President Joe Biden had a low approval rating among young adults. Ocasio-Cortez's student loan debt was already known, as the congresswoman's 2021 financial disclosure showed her holding up to $50,000 in liability. Biden revealed his student loan forgiveness plan in August 2022 to forgive up to $20,000 worth of student loan debt for borrowers who make under $125,000 a year individually or $250,000 for married couples. Members of Congress earn an annual salary of $174,000. Although Ocasio-Cortez celebrated the plan, she called for more forgiveness for people who owed even more debt. "It was YOUR pushing, YOUR pressure, YOUR organizing that got them to this point," Ocasio-Cortez posted on Instagram. "I am very grateful for this watershed moment of a first step — it is so encouraging, thrilling, and has already changed SO many people's lives. But I am also thinking about how this still leaves a question mark for those in the highest amounts of debt, who need the most amount of help. So let's celebrate and keep going." Fellow "Squad" member Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) is among those who owe money, with Tlaib owing more than $100,000 to the Department of Education for her law degree. Tlaib pushed for the Biden administration to forgive at least $50,000 in student loan debt for individual borrowers last year. More Trump news now… https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2023/08/15/morning-consult-poll-trump-boasts-41-point-lead-one-week-ahead-republican-debate/ Trump Boasts 41-Point Lead One Week Ahead of Republican Debate Former President Donald Trump is boasting a 41-point lead in the Republican primary roughly one week ahead of the first GOP debate, which will take place in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on August 23. The survey found Trump maintaining majority support, with 57 percent of potential Republican primary viewers choosing him as their candidate, despite ongoing legal troubles which have not had a negative effect on him. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who has attempted to revamp his campaign over the last few months — from laying off dozens of staffers to replacing his campaign manager — remains in a distant second place, 41 points behind Trump with 16 percent support. Anti-woke businessman Vivek Ramaswamy comes in third place, just seven percent behind DeSantis with nine percent support. Former Vice President Mike Pence came in fourth place with seven percent support, followed by South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who all saw three percent support. All others listed saw one percent support or less. That portion of the survey was taken August 11-13, among 3,064 potential Republican primary voters and has a +/- 2 percent margin of error. Again, the survey shows choices for a second-choice candidate diversifying, as 36 percent of Trump supporters choose DeSantis as their second choice, followed by nearly one-quarter, 23 percent, who chose Ramaswamy. Another 11 percent said Pence, followed by five percent who said Haley and Scott, and 14 percent unsure. Similarly, 37 percent of DeSantis supporters chose Trump as their second-choice candidate, followed by 21 percent who said Ramaswamy, 14 percent who said Pence, 12 percent who said Haley, eight percent who chose Scott, and three percent who remain unsure. The survey coincides with the latest Kaplan Strategies poll, which shows Trump leading with 48 percent support, Ramaswamy moving to second place with 11 percent support, and DeSantis falling to third with ten percent. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2023/08/15/biden-promises-700-per-household-in-maui-less-than-what-is-spent-on-ukraine/ Biden Promises Maui Fire Survivors $700 Per Household — Less Than What Is Spent on Ukraine President Joe Biden announced Monday that survivors of the Maui fires would receive “a one-time $700 payment per household,” after he faced criticism for telling a reporter he had “no comment” on the rising death toll. His account posted: “We’re laser-focused on getting aid to survivors, including Critical Needs Assistance: a one-time $700 payment per household offering relief during an unimaginably difficult time.” The one-time payment of $700 per household is less than the estimated cost to each American household for the Ukraine War, according to a budget expert at the Heritage Foundation. Richard Stern, director of The Heritage Foundation’s Grover M. Hermann Center for the Federal Budget, calculated that the congressionally-approved aid to Ukraine of $113 billion amounts to roughly $900 per American household. “The formal aid packages alone amount to a staggering $113 billion — roughly $900 per American household and almost 12 times the spending cuts promised by House leadership in the annual spending bills,” Stern said in an email to The Daily Signal, Heritage’s news outlet. Furthermore, he said the $113 billion would cost more than $300 in interest costs per household over the decade. On Thursday, as the Maui fires continued burning, Biden asked Congress for an additional $20 billion more in aid for Ukraine. https://www.dailyfetched.com/us-homeless-population-balloons-as-biden-seeks-millions-to-house-illegal-migrants/ US Homeless Population Balloons as Biden Seeks Millions to House Illegal Migrants The homeless population in the US is rapidly increasing at a record pace as Joe Biden seeks hundreds of millions of American taxpayer money to house illegal migrants across the country. According to new data published by the Wall Street Journal, over 577,000 Americans are homeless today, representing an 11 percent increase compared to 2022. The increase “would represent by far the biggest recorded increase since the government started tracking comparable numbers in 2007,” the Journal notes/ “The next highest increase was a 2.7% jump in 2019, excluding an artificially high increase last year caused by pandemic counting interruptions,” the outlet adds. Out of the nearly 600,000 homeless Americans, 150,000 are considered chronically homeless because they have lived on the streets for over a year, with many suffering from mental illness. Despite the homeless problem, Biden is asking Congress to approve hundreds of millions in American taxpayer dollars for a housing development project for illegal migrants. As The Daily Fetched reported last week, Biden is asking for more funds as part of a $40 billion emergency funding request to Congress. The request includes a whopping $2.7 billion for the Department of Homeland Security’s various border efforts. There are 57,300 migrants in the city, with an estimated 100,000 that will need services by June 2025. Adams admitted that the massive increase in migrants could cost the city as much as $12 billion over the next three years. As Breitbart noted: “Much of the taxpayer money would end up in the hands of left-wing non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that have profited immensely from illegal immigration in recent years via federal contracts with DHS. Border crossers and illegal aliens who would get to take advantage of the housing project would likely stay for an extended period of time, as a sample size of DHS data recently found that fewer than 2-in-10 are being placed into deportation proceedings after release into the U.S. interior.” Now in entertainment news… slash sports. https://www.boundingintosports.com/2023/08/all-lies-retired-nfl-player-michael-oher-says-biographical-film-the-blind-side-mostly-made-up-was-never-adopted-by-the-tuohys/ All Lies: Retired NFL Player Michael Oher Says Biographical Film ‘The Blind Side’ Mostly Made Up, Was Never ‘Adopted’ By The Tuohys Michael Oher, the retired NFL star depicted in the 2009 film The Blind Side, filed a petition Monday in Shelby County, Tennessee probate court challenging the portrayal of his “adoption” by the now-famous Tuohy family. According to the 14-page petition, the Tuohys never formally adopted Oher. Instead, they allegedly had him sign conservatorship documents shortly after he turned 18 in 2004, giving them the authority to make business decisions on his behalf. Oher claims he was unaware of the specifics, believing all along that he had been adopted by the family. Oher accuses the family of also profiting from the popular film about his story, which grossed over $300 million, while he received nothing. Oher stated that the Tuohy’s wealth and notoriety “would not have existed without him.” Since the film came out in 2009, the Tuohys have continued to profit off of Oher using the, as Oher claims, false story to enrich themselves. The Tuohy family did not immediately respond for comment when reached out to by ESPN. Oher’s petition seeks an end to the conservatorship, prohibits the Tuohys from using his name and likeness, and demands an accounting of the profits they derived using his story. In previous statements, the Tuohys claimed they shared their movie earnings with Oher. However, the NFL star’s trust in the family eroded over time, especially due to the film’s portrayal of him. “The lie of Michael’s adoption is one upon which Co-Conservators Leigh Anne Tuohy and Sean Tuohy have enriched themselves at the expense of their Ward, the undersigned Michael Oher,” says Oher’s official legal filing. “Michael Oher discovered this lie to his chagrin and embarrassment in February of 2023, when he learned that the Conservatorship to which he consented on the basis that doing so would make him a member of the Tuohy family, in fact provided him no familial relationship with the Tuohys. “Since at least August of 2004, Conservators have allowed Michael, specifically, and the public, generally, to believe that Conservators adopted Michael and have used that untruth to gain financial advantages for themselves and the foundations which they own or which they exercise control,” the petition continues. “All monies made in said manner should in all conscience and equity be disgorged and paid over to the said ward, Michael Oher.” Legally, adoption would have made Oher a Tuohy family member with financial autonomy. However, under the conservatorship, the Tuohys had financial control. The petition claims the Tuohys negotiated the movie deal after the 2006 book “The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game,” and received $225,000 each and 2.5% of the film’s net proceeds. The Blind Side grossed over $300 million and earned significant home video sales. It was nominated for Best Picture, and Sandra Bullock won Best Actress. Oher went on to a very successful NFL career, which includes a Super Bowl victory with the Ravens in the “Harbaugh Bowl” of 2013, and later played in Super Bowl 50 for the Panthers, covering quarterback Cam Newton’s blind side.
The 2024 presidential race in Wisconsin is tightening in some circumstances. A new Marquette Law School Poll shows the Republican presidential primary, Donald Trump vs. Ron Desantis, in a one-point race. “Among Republicans and independents who lean Republican, the GOP presidential primary is a near-even divide, with 31% supporting former President Donald Trump and 30% supporting Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis,” pollsters noted. “Former Vice President Mike Pence is the choice of 6% and South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott receives 5%. A substantial 21% say they have not decided whom to support.” --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wisconsininfocus/support

In an email sent Dec. 31, 2020, attorney John Eastman shared a thought with fellow members of then-President Donald Trump's legal team. “I have no doubt that an aggressive DA or U.S. Attorney some place will go after both the president and his lawyers once the dust settles on this,” Eastman wrote. Eastman, a former law school dean, was one of the architects behind the fake elector scheme and he authored legal memos detailing a plan in which Vice President Mike Pence could refuse to count some of President Joe Biden's votes. As for his email, Eastman turned out to be right. He, the former president and other members of the legal team now find themselves under investigation by a Fulton County special purpose grand jury. Episode 18 of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Breakdown podcast explores the possible ramifications of emails exchanged between Eastman and other Trump lawyers. The emails were turned over to the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol and obtained by the news organization Politico. The ninth season of Breakdown – “The Trump Grand Jury” – is closely following the special purpose grand jury probe of possible interference in the 2020 presidential election in Georgia. Episode 18 also covers the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision involving South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham's attempt to avoid testifying before the special grand jury. And it explains what happened in a Virginia courtroom where former House Speaker Newt Gingrich also sought to avoid traveling to Atlanta to testify.

This week Markos and Kerry talk about how every step the Republican Party makes seems to be into another pile of manure. From Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' inhumane political chicanery to South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham's poorly received abortion bill, the GOP isn't making any friends, even with their own voters.
Republicans in South Carolina tried to pass a bill banning abortions in the state but failed. A day later, South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham proposed federal legislation to ban abortion after 15 weeks.
