The world is full of bad news. We have so much bad news from Trump’s White House alone that it is truly hard to keep up. But this morning I’m so excited to be bringing our listeners some good news on top of the fact that we helped beat back the Republican push to Obamacare. […]
Are you familiar with the 10,000 hour rule that Malcolm Gladwell shares in his book, Outliers? It basically states that it takes about 10,000 hours of time and effort in a field to become an expert in it. I’m now nearing my 10,000 hours on police brutality and injustice in America. Going on four straight […]
New York City loves to brag about its liberal reputation. We have a progressive Mayor. Democrats absolutely dominate the City Council. The city is so firmly anti-Trump that it seems like he’s literally afraid to come home these days. We have a Democrat in the Governor’s Mansion. The state has a truly liberal Attorney General. […]
An astounding 661 people have been killed by American police so far in 2017. This year is on pace to be the deadliest year ever for people killed by American police. No other developed nation in the world has 10% of that number. We are experiencing a full blown crisis of police brutality in this […]
Every single day that passes, as we live through mind-numbing foolishness with Donald Trump, I like to remind myself that he was elected. The campaign was ugly. Both candidates were the two least liked presidential candidates of all-time. A foreign government did all it could to interfere, but Trump won the election. I also think […]
Today the White House is banning cameras from their press briefing. That’s not normal. They have absolutely no rational reason whatsoever for removing cameras from these briefings. This weekend Donald Trump had his daughter, Ivanka, sit in for him at the G20 roundtable among 19 other presidents and prime ministers. That’s not normal. On Saturday […]
Unless you are living under a rock, which increasingly doesn’t seem like such a bad idea nowadays, you no doubt saw that the President of the United States tweeted a video created by a known racist on the social network Reddit, which shows Trump grabbing, throwing, mounting, and pouncing on a body with the logo […]
The sustained crisis of police brutality, followed by charade of grand juries, charges, and trials – culminating either in a deadlocked hung jury or a unanimous exoneration of the officer(s) involved, has pushed tens of millions of Americans to a point of apathy or even hopelessness. Many have told me that they were already there […]
Police brutality is outrageously expensive. The human costs, in lost lives alone, number in the tens of thousands. Millions of other incidents of police harassment, discrimination, and non-lethal brutality have also taken a heavy toll on this country. The enormous physical and psychological costs of police brutality in America can never be fully measured, but […]
Earlier this summer I had the distinct honor and privilege of being the featured speaker for an amazing fundraiser in Seattle. Soon after I finished speaking, I called my wife to tell her I thought it was likely the most important event and audience I had ever spoken to. The organization, which I’ve grown to […]
Conor McGregor, the Irish darling of mixed martial arts, is a bigot. Dig a little bit, and you’ll see it for yourself. Is he entertaining? Yes. Is he a gifted self-promoter? Absolutely. Is he a skilled, hard-working fighter for the UFC? For sure. And because of his popularity, fans and brands alike are willing to […]
I’m a Warriors fan. My family and I caught the bug several years ago when we lived in California and have followed the team closely ever since. My 10-year-old son, who plays ball, worships the ground several of the players walk on. One of my best friends spouse is a longtime employee of the […]
