The Politics Bar After Hours - Fugly On The Inside
It seems forever ago we were all gripped by the "Fulton County v Donald Trump" summer court drama, but since Trump & his co-conspirators slipped out of DA Fani Willis' grip (and that of Jack Smith, too), it seems surreal to think that her office - and in essence the taxpayers of Fulton County - may be on the hook for the Trump defense team's $17 million legal tab, right? […]
A younger Debra Shigley wrote a fan letter to Soledad O'Brien, and from that early interaction sprung a mentorship. Now the Emmy Award-winning journalist & documentarian (now Oscar-nominated) filmmaker joined Debra and co-host Caroline Wells for an episode "At The Kitchen Table" to discuss O'Brien's most recent documentary - an Oscar-nominated piece her production team filmed in Atlanta. O'Brien's latest doc, "The Devil Is Busy," follows the trials and tribulations […]
Ron launched into an important week, politically, in Georgia with Melita Easters, executive director of Georgia WIN List, who shared new data showing a record number of women running for office and Democrats competing in most legislative seats this cycle. They also discussed gerrymandering, crossover day at the Georgia legislature, election policy debates, and what - if anything - to make of sparse polling on the gubernatorial race. RELATED: Trump […]
The last few days saw a shakeup of sorts, notably with state Senator Elena Parent announces she won’t seek reelection, Rep. Saira Draper - who wasn't running for re-election - stepping up to qualify to run for that Senate seat, Nabilah Islam-Parkes pivoting from running for state insurance commissioner to challenging Senator Josh McLaurin in the party's primary. States Newsroom / Georgia Recorder eporter Kelcie Mosley-Morris joined to explain how […]
On the day President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to announce he's replacing Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem following controversy over a costly DHS advertising campaign, Ron revisits one of the final "dress downs" Noem got - at hand of Georgia Rep. Lucy McBath. The detention of Atlanta-based quadriplegic barber Rodney Taylor drew McBath's ire, and rightfully so. Ron caught up with comedian Steve Hofstetter ahead of his show […]
A Georgia jury delivered a historic verdict in the Apalachee High School shooting case, finding Colin Gray guilty on 27 charges after prosecutors argued he ignored repeated warnings about his son’s mental health and gave him access to the gun used in the attack. Ron and WABE criminal justice reporter Chamian Cruz, who spent hours in that courtroom, dug into what the conviction could mean for parental responsibility and future […]
Former state Senator Jason Esteves is a husband, father, former schoolteacher, former school board member, former state senator and small business owner. Oh, and now he's running to be Georgia's next governor. Sounds like a man with a lot on his plate and with a lot of practical experience needed to shape who will be the state's next chief executive. He recently unveiled a new childcare program that caught our […]
PLUS: Ossoff, slew of GA Democrats qualify. Meet the young candidate running for HD 4 and what impact will this session have on housing affordability, availability and advocacy for the unhoused? A couple notable bills are picking up steam under the Gold Dome; both a bit concerning. GA Senate Republicans want to return to hand-marked paper ballots (fine), but also to eliminate early in-person voting (why?). Also, now there's a […]
It’s qualifying week at the Georgia Capitol, and Ron caught up with Dr. Everton Blair, the former Gwinnett school board chair now challenging Congressman David Scott in the Democratic primary. Blair explained why he’s running - particularly against an incumbent Democrat, called for new leadership in the 13th District, and weighs in on affordability, transportation, LGBTQ representation, and U.S. strikes on Iran. Then, Ron caught up with CBS News legal […]
