Marianne Williamson Makes Her Case

The Ron Show ·

2023/04/26

Marianne Williamson was a viral presidential sensation in 2020 before she bowed out in mid-January of that year. She's back, and one of only two challengers aiming to wrest the Democrats Party nomination from a sitting President. She joined me today to make her case.

Joe's a go & I met a Mirracle Mom. Plus, why NOW, GBI?

2023/04/25

Joe's running ... and so is Marianne Williamson. She's on the show, with me, in-person tomorrow, but let's hear Joe's pitch first. Then we'll hem and haw about the arduous task his campaign will have to win over American and Democratic voters who aren't warm to his re-election bid. Heidi Mirracle, Cherokee County parent, LGBTQ+ parent, and one of the brave folks who spoke out at last week's Cherokee County School Board meeting while the board sat stone-faced & silent

Tucker's gone; Don, too. So why is Rob Rechsteiner...

2023/04/24

Ding dong, Tucker Carlson's gone; Media Matters for America's senior fellow Matt Gertz speculates - with me - what's next for Tuckums and Fox News. Don Lemon got whacked, too, and the "thing" folks are pointing to as the reason why doesn't really add up. I'll explain. So it turns out there were MULTIPLE Cherokee County residents and parents of current and former school district kids who attended their school board meeting last Thursday to look feckless Rob Rechsteiner

Micah's on the Cop City saga

The Ron Show ·

2023/04/21

Micah Herskind is a writer & activist, and his Twitter account is one of the most thorough when it comes to the "Cop City" saga, so I had him on today to review everything we know (and what we've been lied to about) in that regard. Governor Brian Kemp's ⁠choosing to whine about what Senators Ossoff and Warnock aren't able (yet) to do⁠ - and don't need to until 2025 at the earliest - while overlooking the real danger to his EV push in Georgia: Kevin McCarthy's debt

Checking in on our Cherokee Dems

The Ron Show ·

2023/04/20

The Dekalb County autopsy on Manuel Paez "Tortuguita" Teran found no gunpowder residue on his hands or body; kinda weird given that he's the one police and police investigators say fired from inside his tent shortly before being deluged with more than 50 bullet wounds from head to torso, arms, hands and legs. Just another chapter in the inability for pro-APD training facility folks to win folks' trust. With tonight's Cherokee County School Board meeting - and hopefully some

The Ron Show ·

2023/04/20

Will Atlanta local media EVER recall a Cherokee County School Board member was booted from a convention for using an anti-gay slur (f*ggot) and shouted anti-trans venom to a trans person? Well, the board meets tomorrow night, so I did a little refresh of the story, and started "at" tweeting media personalities who covered it when it was breaking news in early April but who've not covered it since. Then, it's important to note WHY I think the Supreme Court delaying the Mifepristone

Innocent Entities Don't Settle

The Ron Show ·

2023/04/18

As I went to tape today's show, I already had Andrew Lawrence on the line from Media Matters for America to discuss the Dominion v Fox News case - JUST as word got out a settlement had. been reached. So half the show is our reacting to it, and covering a host of other hot topics, including why the Clarence Thomas story isn't a bigger saga in media of any kind, and the lack of traction on the surprising lack of forthrightness from the Texas just at the center of the Mifepristone case.

Clarence, Marge & Non-Compete Clauses - all should go...

The Ron Show ·

2023/04/17

Thank goodness for the Braves & Dawgs, because Georgians have to be flat-out embarrassed, otherwise, with public figures from Georgia like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Clarence Thomas. Clarence - a Supreme Court Justice - can't seem to follow ethical guidelines, but gets to be one of the nine "end all be all" voices on legal matters? His latest? Not reporting income he and his wife got from a company that hasn't existed for more than fifteen years. Uhm, that seems ...

Why is Randy the Repub against "righting a wrong?"

The Ron Show ·

2023/04/14

New polling for Georgia's GOP presidential hopefuls and Trump's STILL in control, so far. Y'all know I love diving into polling, so I jumped right in. Blis Savidge from Georgia Innocence Project joins me to tell us what GIP does and how wrongfully convicted Georgians are still being screwed over by the state - with a familiar GOP name the giant clog in the pipe. Then, the latest Clarence Thomas / Harlan Crow "bromance novel" chapter is flat-out stunning, and I'll explain

Recycling Day - Rivian & Wrongful Convictions

The Ron Show ·

2023/04/13

Today's a bit of a recycling effort; we've had some glitches getting the show to AmericaOne Radio this week but with insightful conversations with Reason Magazine's Joe Lancaster (covering Georgia's heavy backing of a Rivian that's hemorrhaging cash) and Georgia WIN List's Melita Easters, on to discuss Mifepristone, Cop City & more, I felt compelled to make sure they were heard, so I recycled a good bit of both chats here. Also worth mentioning: why are wrongfully

Tim Scott's in ... sort of. He's against "weaponizing" race, so allow me to "weaponize" RACISM and let ya eavesdrop on a former Georgia high school football coach - who has trained several NFL players - as he videos himself spewing jawdroppingly racist crap while visit Atlanta recently. He sent these videos to a friend or friends thinking it was funny. Not kidding. Georgia's put more than a BILLION dollars behind a new Rivian EV truck facility in Social Circle and

Melita talks Mifepristone & more

2023/04/11

Melita Easters, Georgia WIN List executive director and frequent pundit from FOX 5's The Georgia Gang, joins me today to discuss a range of topics - from mifepristone to Cop City, Fani Willis, the lost DNC convention bid, &even a local anti-trans school board member.

My Monday with Amir

The Ron Show ·

2023/04/11

No lie; I had to book time with Amir Farokhi weeks in advance, and I'll give him his due - he doesn't cheat you. Atlanta's district 2 city councilman (my councilman) gave me a good chunk of show time to talk about everything on my list - "cop city," MARTA audit, gentrification & housing, infrastructure & more. He's a "one to watch" kind of politician so remember I told ya so.

Democracy dying in Tennessee; a conversation with...

The Ron Show ·

2023/04/06

Breathtaking to watch (as we produced today's show) the first of three Tennessee House representatives are being expelled from a majority - solely because they'd rather expel opposition than confront gun violence. This is democracy dying in Tennessee. Earlier today, I got to spend a good half an hour or so in conversation with Bobbie Paul from 'Regulate Guns Not Women.' I found it quite pleasant; hope you will, too.

Are Cherokee County school system parents even aware their school board's vice-chairman was banned from a professional wrestling convention last weekend for verbally harassing a transgender woman? I'm here to make sure they're aware. Then, Bill White (and uh, his husband? Who knew?) are taking their ball and going to north Georgia, leaving the "Buckhead city" movement in tatters. Naturally, I have to go off on Log Cabin Republicans. Sigh. Donald's (latest) inane speech at

The Ron Show ·

2023/04/04

Right off the bat, Craig Harrington, research director at Media Matters for America, joins to discuss the Trump arraignment spectacle, right wing media handling of it, Majorie's megaphone minute (or two) and more. We've some audio from Marge in Manhattan, along with their Representative, Jamaal Bowman hollering for her to get outta there, too. Ooh, stinging rebuke from civil rights activist Angela Davis, who un-accepts a city of Atlanta proclamation given to her last month while here

Marge's Big Night & Ruwa's Moment to Relax (a bit)

The Ron Show ·

2023/04/03

Marge had her big primetime moment on 60 Minutes last night; did she get the soft treatment? Even worse - did they elevate her? A little pretext from Kadia Goba at Semafor.com, too. Let's talk about on-court antics in women's basketball and the disparate reactions we have, societally, based on their ethnicity. Then Rep. Ruwa Romman spent a good bit of time reflecting on her first General Assembly session: the highs, lows, the calming influences, the surprise camaraderie with those across

Don's Cons & His Pearl-Clutching Flock

The Ron Show ·

2023/03/31

The "law & order" party isn't very fond of "the law" bringing "order" to their twice-impeached former president and current (and still) leader of the GOP. Their apoplectic reactions to his being indicted yesterday is predictably rich. Take a listen. Locally, the University of Georgia Athletic department could be in more legal hot water than we previously thought, as the deceased driver on their payroll had a history of speeding - and a fellow staffer tried to

Atlanta journalist, documentarian & podcast King Williams joined me on the show today to cover LOTS of Atlanta and Georgia political topics, including "Cop City Brian Kemp's political ambitions, Jon Ossoff's future & more. Oh, Ron DeSantis was in town today, too, and unfortunately the Donald Trump indictment came down after the show so - more tomorrow.
