    #22 - John McAfee - "I Was Seduced By Power"

    ***Be advised: this interview contains a lot of profane language used by the guest. Viewer and listener discretion advised. *** We interview John McAfee, the founder of McAfee Antivirus and an extraordinarily unique person who has, in recent years, become something of an international man of mystery. Most recently, he ran for President of the United States. Originally, we were set to discuss cybersecurity — a topic he knows a great deal about. However, the interview quickly went off the rails and became an introspective look at his impoverished childhood, rise to incredible wealth through the sale of McAfee, and how he feels, ultimately, that none of his financial success was worthwhile. McAfee said “I was seduced by power,” and explained that the reason he spent all of the money was “because he could.” He feels that to be financially successful, a person must lose other things that are important to them. Certainly, it is rare for a wealthy person to reflect on their life in this way — and McAfee has not, to our knowledge, ever given an interview quite like this.

    #21 - Rachel Cooper - Racial Disparities in America

    We interview Rachel Cooper, Senior Policy Analyst in Health and Wellness at Every Texan, a progressive think tank based in Austin, Texas (formerly the Center for Public Policy Priorities). Every Texan is a nationally recognized progressive think tank that focuses on both state and federal issues. Cooper spoke extensively and frankly about race relations and racial disparities in America, a timely topic given the continued protests and discussions borne out of the deaths of numerous unarmed African Americans in recent months, such as George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Breonna Taylor. She also gave a detailed view of her view of what it is to be black in America, and where she believes racial bias exists within the nation.

    #20 - Marc Levin - Reforming the the Criminal Justice System

    We interview Marc Levin, the Chief of Policy and Innovation for the Right on Crime Initiative at the Texas Public Policy Foundation, a conservative think tank. Levin is a nationally-recognized criminal justice reform advocate and researcher who has met with both President Obama and President Trump about his ideas. Levin walks us through an enormous amount of information on criminal justice reform, including a substantial amount of studies and research related to racial disparities in the criminal justice system. This topic could not be any more relevant given the recent calls for reform in the wake of George Floyd's death in Minneapolis. Marc asks the question of what would have happened to George Floyd, or to any other black man without resources, if he had not died? The criminal justice system, as he points out via research, is rife with disparities. For a detailed discussion of the disparities related to race and income after an arrest occurs, go to about 1:01:00 in the interview. He also explains how he has managed to get Republicans and conservatives on board with criminal justice reform, often considered a left-wing issue, and identifies clear opportunities for future reform of the criminal justice system. This interview cites many studies and research papers, allowing for further research on the issue if you are interested. This interview is coming out on Juneteenth, an appropriate time if ever to discuss the state of criminal justice reform and how that affects the black community.
