Alarming questions about the security of U.S. elections involving so-called "ghost voters" and allegations of Russian interference are raised in this episode of Lean to the Left.

Investigative journalist Alison Greene discusses her work examining Florida voter registration records and explains why the evidence she uncovered deserves immediate public attention and further independent review.

Greene assisted the Election Truth Alliance (ETA) investigation featured in our previous episode with Executive Director Lilli McGregor.

But in this conversation, she takes viewers deeper into what she found in Florida, including claims involving so-called "ghost voters," missing voter records, unusual registration patterns, and public records that she argues raise troubling questions about election transparency and voter roll integrity.

Among the topics discussed:

• Why St. Lucie County became the focal point of her investigation

• Claims involving thousands of missing voter records

• The discovery of what Greene calls "ghost voters" in public databases

• Questions about voter registration anomalies and election oversight

• Why she believes these concerns extend beyond Florida

• What citizens can do now to verify their voter registration before the next election

This interview is Part 2 of Lean to the Left's examination of election integrity concerns raised by the Election Truth Alliance.

Part 1: Lilli McGregor discusses investigations in Florida, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina that she says uncovered statistical anomalies warranting independent review.

Part 2: Alison Greene provides a deeper look into Florida and explains why voters across America should pay attention.

Did Republicans benefit from election irregularities in key battleground states?

According to the nonpartisan Election Truth Alliance (ETA), statistical analyses in Florida, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and other states identified patterns that warrant further investigation.

In this episode of Lean to the Left, Bob Gatty speaks with ETA Executive Director Lilli McGregor about the organization's findings, ongoing legal action in Pennsylvania, concerns surrounding voting-system vulnerabilities, and why Florida may be one of the most significant cases under review.

ETA emphasizes that its findings do not prove fraud occurred. However, the organization argues that audits, hand counts, and additional investigation are necessary to ensure public confidence in future elections.

The conversation also explores:

✅ Voting machine vulnerabilities

✅ Election audits and recounts

✅ Pennsylvania election lawsuit

✅ Florida voter registration concerns

✅ Election security vs. voter fraud

✅ Why local election officials matter

✅ Protecting future elections

✅ What voters should know before the midterms

Whether you agree or disagree with ETA's conclusions, this conversation raises important questions about election transparency, public confidence, and how democracies safeguard the vote.

Is a historic Democratic upset coming in the deep South? Can a Democrat really flip South Carolina’s deeply red 7th Congressional District?

Retired Navy Command Master Chief and small business owner John Vincent says yes — and he explains why in this explosive interview with Lean to the Left host Bob Gatty.

Vincent, who is challenging MAGA Republican Congressman Russell Fry, argues that Fry’s unwavering loyalty to Donald Trump has made him vulnerable with independents, moderate Republicans, and frustrated voters across South Carolina.

In this wide-ranging conversation, Vincent discusses:

* Why he believes SC-7 is competitive

* How his military and business background shaped his campaign

* Why he calls himself a “fiscally conservative moderate Democrat”

* His plans to address veteran homelessness and addiction

* Concerns about Social Security solvency

* The impact of Trump’s influence on Republican politics

* Why he believes Democrats can compete in the South

Vincent also explains his grassroots strategy for overcoming Fry’s massive fundraising advantage and why he believes traditional political playbooks no longer work.

If you care about the future of democracy, veterans issues, economic accountability, and the battle for control of Congress, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.

Can a Republican candidate who is against Trump and rejects MAGA politics still win in deep red South Carolina?

Marine veteran and congressional candidate Sam Gibbons says yes.

In this revealing conversation with Bob Gatty on Lean to the Left, Gibbons explains why he’s challenging longtime Congressman Joe Wilson in South Carolina’s 2nd Congressional District — and why he believes Donald Trump has “bastardized” the Republican Party.

Gibbons discusses:

Why he opposes Trump’s policies and leadership style

His strong criticism of war with Iran

Concerns about Pete Hegseth and military leadership

Immigration, tariffs, and economic chaos

Organizing South Carolina “No Kings” rallies

Why he believes Republicans have been “sold a lie”

The future of the GOP beyond MAGA politics

A Marine veteran, teacher, and conservative who says he values honor, duty, and transparency, Gibbons offers a rare perspective from inside the Republican base in one of America’s reddest states.

Do you think voters are ready for Republicans who reject Trumpism?

What really happened in the Jeffrey Epstein case — and why do so many Americans believe the full truth is still being hidden?

Investigative journalist Nick Bryant joins the Lean to the Left podcast to discuss his 15 years-long investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, alleged government cover-ups, trafficking victims, blackmail claims, and why he says “the cover-up never ended.”

Bryant helped bring worldwide attention to the Epstein scandal after publishing Epstein’s “Black Book” and flight logs online in 2015. He is also the author of Compromised: The Politics of Sex, Lies, and Blackmail and director of the nonprofit organization Epstein Justice.

In this interview, Bryant discusses:

🔥 Why he believes multiple administrations protected Epstein

🔥 Claims of a broader trafficking and blackmail network

🔥 The significance of Epstein’s Black Book and flight logs

🔥 Ghislaine Maxwell’s conviction and unanswered questions

🔥 Alleged failures by the DOJ and FBI

🔥 Why victims still haven’t received full justice

🔥 The push for an independent congressional investigation

Bryant also explains why he believes both Republicans and Democrats have failed to fully expose the Epstein network and what Americans can do to demand transparency.

Another nugget: Bryant believes Epstein was murdered in his cell, that he did NOT commit suicide as the government claims.

Why are Americans going broke trying to stay healthy? The real question is why is healthcare in America so expensive in the first place — and who profits from it?

On this episode of the Lean to the Left podcast, Bob Gatty talks with Dr. Adam Cunningham, founder of Sylk Health, about the hidden costs of healthcare, the medical debt crisis, and why millions of Americans are struggling to afford treatment.

They discuss:

• Why hospital pricing is intentionally hidden

• How medical debt drives bankruptcy in America

• Why healthcare has become a social justice issue

• The shocking cost differences between U.S. and overseas treatment

• Medical tourism and affordable care abroad

• Insurance companies, hospital lobbying, and pharmaceutical profits

• Medicare, supplemental insurance, and rising costs for seniors

• Alzheimer’s care and the crushing financial burden on families

• Why meaningful healthcare reform remains so difficult

Dr. Cunningham explains how Sylk Health compares medical procedure costs between the U.S. and accredited hospitals in China, giving patients new options when facing massive medical bills.

This conversation goes beyond politics and gets to the heart of a broken healthcare system that leaves working families drowning in debt while corporations profit.

Why is healthcare in America so expensive — and why do insurance companies seem to control so much of the system?

On this episode of the Lean to the Left podcast, orthopedic surgeon and author Dr. Erica Rowe Urquhart joins Bob Gatty to expose what she calls the “hidden cause” of America’s healthcare crisis. Drawing on two decades of frontline medical experience, Dr. Urquhart explains how insurance companies use prior authorizations, retroactive denials, confusing billing systems, and corporate-driven policies to delay care and maximize profits — often at the expense of patients and doctors alike. 

Topics discussed include:

• Why healthcare costs are hidden from patients

• How insurance companies profit from delaying care

• The burden of Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement systems

• Why doctors spend huge amounts of time on paperwork instead of patients

• How AI could help modernize healthcare administration

• Prescription drug pricing and pharmaceutical greed

• Trump and the Affordable Care Act

• Whether Medicare for All is realistic

• The future of independent medical practices

Dr. Urquhart’s book, The Invisible Hand Wielding the Scalpel: The Hidden Cause of America’s Health Care Crisis, is an Amazon bestseller and offers an insider’s look at how corporate healthcare impacts real people every day.

US Healthcare Crisis: Why are Americans sicker—and dying younger—despite spending more on healthcare than any country in the world?

In this eye-opening episode of Lean to the Left, Bob Gatty interviews physician and author Steven Bezruchka, whose new book Born Sick in the USA exposes the real reasons behind America’s declining health.

👉 It’s not just healthcare.

👉 It’s inequality.

👉 It’s early childhood conditions.

👉 It’s political choices.

Bezruchka reveals:

Why U.S. healthcare spending doesn’t translate into better outcomes

How income inequality is literally shortening American lives

Why early childhood (the first 1,000 days) determines lifelong health

How U.S. policies compare to other wealthy nations

Why even wealthy Americans are less healthy than their peers abroad

The dangerous role of profit-driven healthcare

💡 Key takeaway: Healthcare accounts for only about 10% of what keeps us alive—the rest is driven by social and economic factors.

This conversation will challenge everything you think you know about health in America.

What if aliens could fix America’s biggest problems?

In this episode of Lean to the Left, host Bob Gatty conducts a fascinating interview with author Paul McGrath about his mind-bending sci-fi series Terran Incognito—including his latest book Left Is Right.

McGrath uses alien characters to tackle real-world issues like:

Gun violence in America

Militia extremism

Human trafficking

Political division and MAGA influence

A former journalist, McGrath explains how fiction allows him to say what he couldn’t in the newsroom—and why today’s political climate is giving him more material than ever.

👉 What happens when all civilian guns suddenly disappear?

👉 Can satire expose truths politics ignores?

👉 And what would outsiders think of America today?

This is sci-fi with a purpose—and a warning.
