Our guest is Legendary Athlete, Businessman, congressman - Tom McMillen - I'm excited to have a conversation with sports legend and old friend, Congressman Tom McMillen. Tom and I first met in 1980 at the Democratic National Convention in New York. I will speak with him about the evolution of the Democratic Party over the past 45 years, his predictions for the 2024 elections and, of course, his amazing athletic career which spanned decades.Tom McMillen is the president and chief executive officer of the LEAD1 Association.Founded in 1986, LEAD1 Association has 130 members located in 41 states. The association is dedicated to the success of student-athletes — both in the classroom and on the playing field for college and afterwards.As a high school student, McMillen was the most highly recruited athlete of his era and the second high school student ever to appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Tom was appointed by President Richard Nixon to serve as the youngest presidential appointee ever on the President’s Council on Physical Fitness.An All-American basketball player, Tom still holds the school record for career scoring average at the University of Maryland. The first Rhodes Scholar from the University of Maryland, Tom received a Bachelor and Master of Arts in Politics, Philosophy and Economics at Oxford University. A member of the controversial 1972 Olympic basketball team, he also played in the NBA for 11 seasons.Representing the fourth district of Maryland, McMillen served three consecutive terms (1987-1993) in the U.S. House of Representatives. He served on the Energy & Commerce Committee; the Banking, Finance & Urban Committee; and the Committee on Science, Space & Technology. He was president of the freshman class of the historic 100th Congress.President Bill Clinton appointed Tom as co-chair of the President’s Council on Fitness and Sports. McMillen also founded several publicly traded companies and has been a successful entrepreneur. He was a member of the Board of Regents of the University of Maryland System, the founding chairman of the National Foundation on Physical Fitness, Sports and Nutrition, and author of "OUT OF BOUNDS: How the American sports establishment is being driven by greed and hypocrisy – and what needs to be done about it." — a book examining the influence of sports on ethics.His op-eds and articles have been published in The New York Times, The Atlantic Monthly, USA Today and The Chronicle of Higher Education.56 min
- Shadow Politics, September 8, 2024Shadow Politics with Senator Michael D. BrownGuest, Dr. Jonathan Metzl author of Dying of Whiteness - How the Politics of Racial Resentment is Killing America’s HeartlandIt's more than just about the guns. Although it has become clear that any person who wants a gun can get one, the problem is more complex than that. I will discuss with Dr. Metzl the intersection of guns, race and mental health. What do we need to do to reexamine our approach to ending the plague of gun violence in America? Why do we vote against our own self-interest?Jonathan M. Metzl MD, PhD is an acclaimed physician and sociologist who speaks, teaches and writes on a range of topics including mental illness and gun violence, race and whiteness in America, health and healthcare and diversity and structural competency in higher education.Dr. Metzl is the author of the groundbreaking book, "DYING OF WHITENESS: How the Politics of Racial Resentment is Killing America’s Heartland." A New York Times bestseller, the book is an in-depth look at why so many working-class white Americans support politicians whose policies are literally killing them. The book was also the winner of the 2020 Robert F. Kennedy Book Award.Being a gun violence expert, professor and psychiatrist is a unique combination that allows Dr. Metzl to speak and write about gun violence in America, and in particular to address stereotypes that link guns with race or mental illness, or that blame mental illness for mass shootings and other gun crimes.The topic is the focus of Dr. Metzl’s most recent, "WHAT WE'VE BECOME: Living and Dying in a Country of Arms," a book that, by looking at a racially-charged mass shooting in Nashville, Tennessee, reexamines how we as a nation should address gun violence.Dr. Metzl is the Frederick B. Rentschler II Professor of Sociology and Psychiatry and the director of the Department of Medicine, Health and Society at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. Metzl received his MD from the University of Missouri, MA in humanities/poetics and psychiatric internship/residency from Stanford University, and PhD in American culture from the University of Michigan.Winner of the 2020 Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Book Award, the 2020 APA Benjamin Rush Award for Scholarship and a 2010 Guggenheim fellowship, Dr. Metzl has written extensively about the relationships between guns, mass shootings and mental illness.His books include: "THE PROTEST PSYCHOSIS: How Schizophrenia Became a Black Disease," "PROZAC ON THE COUCH: Prescribing Gender in the Era of Wonder Drugs," "AGAINST HEALTH: How Health Became the New Morality," "DYING OF WHITENESS: How the Politics of Racial Resentment is Killing America’s Heartland" and "WHAT WE'VE BECOME: Living and Dying in a Country of Arms."58 min

About Shadow Politics with US Senator Michael D Brown
From the publisher's feed
Shadow Politics is a grass roots talk show giving a voice to the voiceless. For more than 200 years the people of the Nation's Capital have ironically been excluded from the national political…
conversation. With no voting member of either house of Congress, Washingtonians have lacked the representation they need to be equal and to have their voices heard. Shadow Politics will provide a platform for them, as well as the millions of others nationwide who feel politically disenfranchised and disconnected, to be included in a national dialog. We need to start a new conversation in America, one that is more inclusive and diverse and one that will lead our great nation forward to meet the challenges of the 21st century. At Shadow Politics, we hope to get this conversation started by bringing Americans together to talk about issues important to them. We look forward to having you be part of the discussion so call in and join the conversation. America is calling and we're listening… Shadow Politics is about America hearing what you have to say. It's your chance to talk to an elected official who has spent more than 30 years in Washington politics. We believe that if we start a dialog and others add their voices we will create a chorus. Even if those other politicians in Washington don't hear you — Senator Brown will. He's on a mission to listen to what America has to say and use it to start a productive dialog to make our democracy stronger and more inclusive. If we are all part of the solution we can solve any problem.
