Who else should be pardoned? The FBI has BEEN the Feds, and horrific prison conditions in Virginia. 

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum are all about Criminal Justice Reform. President Biden pardoned his son and all the breathless media coverage has completely missed the point. Who else could he pardon–and why hasn’t he?? 

Meanwhile, conditions inside of American prisons are so inhumane, that prisoners at one Virginia State institution have been lighting themselves on fire in protest. Tiffany guides us on a deepdive into Red Onion State Prison. 

And Trump has proposed a new director for the FBI, Kash Patel, who’s threatening to disband the FBI’s Washington bureau and fire its leadership. Sometimes politics makes for strange bedfellows… 

Does the hypocrisy of Mitch McConnell know no bounds? He’s been sounding off on Federal judges who have reneged on retirement since Trump won, calling it “naked partisanship.” Mitch, please. 

And of course we’ll hear from you, our #NLPFam listeners. If you’d like to submit a question, check out our tutorial video: www.instagram.com/reel/C5j_oBXLIg0/

Listener Comments, Project 2025, presidential immunity, and what can Biden do before inauguration? 

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum share some of the amazing comments we’ve gotten from you, our NLP fam, along with a replay of three of our best segments that feel especially relevant now: 

What’s up with Project 2025? The 900+ page document that outlines the republican plan to replace tens of thousands of public employees in the FBI, Department of Justice, and more with conservative loyalists. The plan could change the federal government as we know it. 

IMMUNE. That’s what the Supreme Court said a president will be for any “official” act taken while in office. To quote the dissenting opinion written by Justice Sotomayor, “Orders the Navy's Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune. Organizes a military coup to hold onto power? Immune. Takes a bribe in exchange for a pardon? Immune. Immune, immune, immune… In every use of official power, the president is now a king above the law.”

AND Biden’s laid out some of his priorities for the remainder of his term, like Supreme Court reform, but how can he actually get that done? And what other bold actions could he take now that he’s a lame duck? The hosts dream BIG.

Hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum question whether the Democratic Party is still capable of keeping together its diverse Rainbow Coalition. Many folks in the base of the party felt abandoned by a Harris/Walz campaign that tried to appeal to moderate Republicans. Then pundits blamed “wokeness” for Kamala Harris’ loss. 

Are there too many conflicting interests to hold together under the Democrats’ “big tent”?

This discussion was in part inspired by one of you, our #NLPFam listeners. If you’d like to submit a question, check out our tutorial video: www.instagram.com/reel/C5j_oBXLIg0/

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum discuss the future of NLP. We’ve heard from you all and appreciate your words of support so much! 

With all the insanity happening in national politics you may have missed state governments forcing Christianity into their public schools. Tiffany brings us up to speed and offers some calls to action. 

The media has said that Trump may use a workaround called “recess appointments” to skip the Senate confirmation process for his more controversial cabinet picks (see the accused Matt Gaetz). But what are recess appointments, when have they been used in the past, and how does that compare to how Trump might use them now? 

And in a discussion that’s to be continued on our next MiniPod–is the Rainbow Coalition of the Dem Party dying? Already dead?? 

And of course we’ll hear from you, our #NLPFam listeners. If you’d like to submit a question, check out our tutorial video: www.instagram.com/reel/C5j_oBXLIg0/

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum react to the results of the 2024 election and respond to your questions. 

President Biden has begun the peaceful transition of power, in the oval office he told Trump, “Welcome back.” After telling voters that Trump is a threat to democracy, is this kind of civility appropriate?

Trump has already announced many of his cabinet picks. We’ll hear from those picks about what we can expect from a second Trump presidency. 

Lastly, where does our show go from here? Should we even still have a show??
