    “Immigration in America: Are We Fixing Anything?”

    Send us a text In this powerful episode, we dive deep into one of the most urgent and controversial issues facing America today — immigration. With border numbers rising and political tension at an all-time high, we ask the hard questions many are afraid to confront. Are deportations helping or harming our communities? What really happens to the children when their parents are removed? Are today’s detention facilities any better than the camps we condemn in history books? And is closing the border a solution or just another political talking point? Join us as we break down the human cost of our current system, the moral dilemmas behind enforcement, and the realities families face when hope drives them across dangerous borders. This is more than policy — it’s people, families, and futures. Tune in for a raw, honest conversation that challenges assumptions, sheds light on the truth, and asks: Is America actually fixing the problem, or just shifting the pain? Support the show

    New Book Learning to Protect Yourself from the Law: Episode 1: Mass Incarceration

    Send us a text https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FTM8MHMM Now, let me say this — this episode might make you uncomfortable, and that’s okay. Growth doesn’t come from comfort, it comes from awareness. And the truth about mass incarceration is one this country has avoided for far too long. We’re talking about a system that doesn’t just punish — it profits. A machine that feeds off of poverty, race, and ignorance of the law. But here’s the thing: when you don’t understand how the system works, you become a part of the statistic. In this episode, we’re going to peel back the layers — the history, the policy, the hidden motives — and most importantly, how you can protect yourself and the people you love from becoming another name in the system. This is not entertainment. This is education — and it’s survival.  So grab your book, grab your notebook, and get ready — because today, we’re telling the truth about Mass Incarceration: how it started, who it targets, and what you can do to fight back.

    ReOpening the Case in Florida

    Send us a text In 2008, Laura Bowdoin was a vibrant woman preparing to leave a toxic marriage. She was caring for her young daughter, working full-time, and looking forward to starting over. But on the night of June 18th, she went to bed—and never woke up. Her husband claimed she overdosed on Ambien and diet pills, but her family knew something was terribly wrong. Laura had previously told her mother about strange things happening. Her tea appeared foamy and tampered with. She suspected her husband was drugging her. In fact, she had been so concerned, she mentioned waking up paralyzed—unable to speak or move—with her husband standing over her. She feared for her life. She feared for her daughter. Just two nights before she died, she told her mother she would never let her husband take custody of their child. She feared he was a danger. Support the show
