    EP 234: Law, Politics, and the Power of Informed Voting Pt 2. (Ft Attorney James Smith)

    Attorney James Smith is back for another insightful episode! This time, we dive into the complex world of political criticism, starting with Kamala Harris’s time as a prosecutor. We break down the misinformation campaigns—many fueled by foreign actors like Russia—aimed at distorting her record and influencing U.S. opinions. We also discuss the ongoing federal case in Tampa involving the Uhuru Movement, debunking exaggerated claims about Kamala's role, including the myth that she jailed 1,200 men for nonviolent marijuana offenses. By examining probation violations and judicial decisions, we reveal the truth behind these allegations.   Next, we tackle gender bias in political criticism, highlighting the double standards faced by women in politics. Our conversation touches on Donald Trump's handling of the transition process and his lack of preparedness for crises like the global pandemic. We contrast this with the need for experienced leadership. Finally, we explore economic policies like the childcare tax credit and the importance of universal healthcare, drawing comparisons to systems like Germany.   Join us for a packed episode full of clarity and real talk!   Watch Full Episode and Subscribe on YouTube ‌ Thank you to our Sponsors: BetterHelp - Get 10% off your First Month www.betterhelp.com/pwp Idea to Launch Podcast - Get $100 Off our signature course using code 'PIVOT' - LAUNCH YOUR PODCAST IN 30 DAYS Ready to start your own podcast?

    Join us on this eye-opening episode of "Pivot With Purpose Y'all" as we reunite with our favorite legal expert and dear friend, Attorney James Smith. Together, we peel back the layers of our early podcast memories while James demystifies the often convoluted legal language. You’ll gain fascinating insights into the future of law, where AI might handle consultations, yet some human aspects of legal practice could remain irreplaceable.   Ever wondered how elections shape the Supreme Court? We tackle the weighty influence of upcoming elections on the Court’s conservative majority, revisiting the contentious 2000 presidential election and the butterfly ballot debacle in Florida. Our discussion takes a dramatic turn as we investigate the shadowy financial ties between Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and billionaire Harlan Crow. The ethical implications of such relationships come to light, illustrating how they might sway judicial decisions and erode public trust.   We wrap up with a hard-hitting analysis of media biases and political corruption, scrutinizing how billionaire-owned news outlets prioritize clicks over substance. From Amazon’s labor practices to the pharmaceutical industry's deregulation, we expose how these corporate actions affect everyday Americans. Our conversation drives home the urgency of reclaiming political power from the donor class and stresses the importance of active participation in democratic processes. Don't miss this compelling discussion that underscores the power of informed voting and the need for a renewed democratic impulse.       Watch Full Episode and Subscribe on YouTube ‌ Thank you to our Sponsors: BetterHelp - Get 10% off your First Month www.betterhelp.com/pwp Idea to Launch Podcast - Get $100 Off our signature course using code 'PIVOT' - LAUNCH YOUR PODCAST IN 30 DAYS Ready to start your own podcast?
