Juli Briskman just revealed how Trump’s brand damages Republicans in every election Nov 27, 2019

Show notes

Scott speaks with Juli Briskman about her journey from a morning bike ride with an unexpected interlocution by the President that led her eventually into an elected office. Supervisor-elect Briskman will be sworn in to represent the Algonkian District in Loudon County, Virginia where the Trump National Golf course is situated after flipping the bird at President Trump while he drove back to the White House from a golf outing. Briskman told us that there was a Trump effect even on the local level, which helped her flip her county commission blue. Most importantly, she stood up for what’s right by denouncing a demagogue, and in so doing set an example for every member of the resistance by getting involved.

Gale Anne Hurd just explained how you can help achieve pay equity in Hollywood Nov 26, 2019

Show notes

Scott talks with Gale Anne Hurd, the legendary Hollywood producer behind cultural touchstones like the Walking Dead franchise on television as well as the Terminator and Alien movies. Hurd told us about her impending launch of the third Walking Dead series in 2020, and about major developments in the Terminator franchise because a relatively new copyright law will give control back to her and James Cameron, its co-creators for the first time in decades. But her most poignant words had to do with the fight for gender equity in entertainment and empowering individuals, which is a central theme of her life’s work.

Former Mattis Comms Chief just revealed which reckless Trump tweets caught the Pentagon “off guard” Nov 08, 2019

Show notes

Scott speaks with Navy Commander (ret.) Guy Snodgrass, whose new book “Holding the Line: Inside Trump’s Pentagon with Secretary Mattis” is a personal memoir of his eighteen-month tour of duty at the Pentagon as Chief of Communications and speechwriter for former Defense Secretary General James Mattis. Cmdr. Snodgrass wrote a nonpartisan account of his time working with Secretary Mattis but didn’t hold back in our interview about the harm to America’s allegiances being done by President Trump’s duplicitous public messaging, or on any other topic. He also revealed the serious complications of Trump’s tweets, for example when he canceled military exercises with our South Korean allies or falsely told the public that he consulted with the Pentagon before tweeting a ban on military service by transgendered persons. It’s a unique, insider’s account of the top of the Department of Defense and how they handled an arbitrary and unpredictable Commander-in-Chief. You can find his first-hand account inside the Pentagon during the Trump Administration on your local store’s bookshelves at Barnes and Noble.

Peter Morley just revealed his vital campaign to stop Trump from harming our healthcare Nov 01, 2019

Show notes

Scott talks with healthcare activist Peter Morley about the start of open enrollment for the Affordable Care Act on healthcare.gov today. Best known as Obamacare, the law’s provisions protecting people with “pre-existing conditions” from being dropped by private insurance companies are under constant attack from Republicans in Congress, the White House, and the courts. Morley is a cancer survivor who has visited hundreds of members of Congress — on both sides of the aisle — to share his story of fighting ten different pre-existing conditions and why the ACA helped save his life, to serve as a living example of why we need to keep improving our national healthcare system.
