The lawyers settle with the county, which agrees to pay the kids who were wrongfully arrested and illegally jailed; the hard part is actually getting the kids paid. 

From Serial Productions and The New York Times in partnership with ProPublica and Nashville Public Radio, “The Kids of Rutherford County” is reported and hosted by Meribah Knight, a Peabody-award winning reporter based in the South.

“We’re constantly being told that there are all of these threats around us, but the threats that the media and the police and certain large corporations want us to be focused on are not the things that actually most determine our safety.” Civil Rights Corps founder and executive director Alec Karakatsanis discusses how liberal publications and politicians are shaping the narrative that supports police funding and “copaganda.”

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, the latest on the murder of five infants by an abortionist serial killer in DC. It’s a story that the corporate media, the local government, and the federal government has decided to completely ignore. Also, Judge Jackson is confirmed as the first black woman Supreme Court Justice, and also the first Supreme Court Justice who can’t define the word woman. A historic occasion, indeed. Plus mainstream media journalists hold a seminar on “disinformation,” but things don’t go as they planned during the Q&A portion. And American Airlines has an exciting new aviation invention: buses. In our Daily Cancellation, what the hell is a bi-romantic asexual? It’s the latest LGBT innovation, and it makes no sense at all.

In July, Eric Adams narrowly won the Democratic nomination for mayor of New York, making him the odds-on favorite to win in November. And he won the nomination by running directly against the verities of today’s progressives: asserting that the police are the answer, not the problem; that “defund the police” misjudged what communities of color actually want; that Democrats had lost touch with the multiracial working-class voters they claim to represent.

Adams won on that message. He won in deep-blue New York City. It’s made him a national figure, and he’s been emphatic on what that means. “I am the face of the new Democratic Party,” he said. And “if the Democratic Party fails to recognize what we did here in New York, they’re going to have a problem in the midterm elections and they’re going to have a problem in the presidential election.”

When politicians become national stories, they often release, or rerelease, a book. Adams is no exception. But instead of a campaign manifesto or an autobiography, “Healthy at Last” is a book about the health benefits of plant-based eating. “Outspoken vegan” isn’t a political identity I tend to associate with ambitious politicians at odds with the progressive wing of the Democratic Party, but that’s Adams for you. He doesn’t shy away from a fight.

In this conversation, Adams and I talk about the fights he is picking, or will have to pick, in the coming years: with progressives who he thinks have lost their way, with police unions he wants to reform, with wealthy communities where he wants to build more housing, with critics who think plant-based eating is a hobby for foodie elites and with voters who may not be willing to wait for Adams’s “upstream” approach to social problems to pay off.

Healthy At Last by Eric Adams

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, we'll discuss the very funny but also instructive story of a woman who left America because of its violence and racism and moved instead to Mexico, a country that is far worse than America in every category and by every measure. Also Five Headlines including Joe Biden continuing to fall apart on camera, and the supposedly surging QAnon movement. And in our Daily Cancellation I cancel Ryan Reynolds for being the latest celebrity to issue a groveling and ridiculous apology.
