WOMENACE to SOCIETY

Lindsey Boylan is running to represent NY State in the US Congress. We chat about what's making Lindsey run- she's doing this for her daughter, Vivienne, and all the other girls and women of New York. Lindsey comes from a working-class family. Her dad is a veteran and her mom was a single mom at the age of 16. Lindsey's focus on inequality, mental health, and climate change, and she wants to restore hope to so many who feel the American Dream is dying.

Summer Wesley is running for State Representative because Oklahoma needs leaders with the right knowledge and expertise to move us forward. She graduated from the OU Law and has years of experience as a social worker, community advocate, and helping the most vulnerable Oklahomans navigate hardship and take control of their lives. Our schools are failing, staggering numbers of our citizens are suffering without healthcare, incarceration rates are alarming, and our infrastructure is literally crumbling.

Sabrina Matthews is one of the first comedians to ever appear on Comedy Central where you may have seen her half-hour special. She is also one of the very first queer comedians to appear on TV, perform around the country, tour the world, and she was a semi-finalist on NBC's "Last Comic Standing". Sabrina and Lisa chat about Socrates, monsters & animals, and what it means to be an artist.

Marty Percy is an investigative journalist and author who is interested in Justice Reform. He live-tweets Oklahoma City Council meetings for everyone who can’t make it to the meetings- which is pretty much everybody with a family or a job since they are held bi-monthly on Tuesday mornings at 8:30AM. We discuss how local politics affects our daily lives more than national politics but most people don’t know that so that which is one big reason we're getting messed over as citizens.

Dr. Darnell Blackmon is an orthopedic surgeon and medical cannabis investor in Tulsa, Oklahoma who recommends medical marijuana as a healthier alternative to patients suffering from opioid abuse and to relieve the severe pain caused by cancer. Lisa and he discuss Oklahoma’s overwhelming acceptance of a plant most here find extremely beneficial. In fact, there are now about 700 dispensaries in OK and cannabis use may be completely legal for everyone 21 and over within a very short time throughout the state

Bryan Scott is a California dad and American citizen who was disgusted when he found out an Orange County Judge he thought was a no-nonsense conservative guy who made tough decisions was actually impaired with massive bias and had a reckless history of giving lenient sentences to child rapists. So he worked with other activists in California and Illinois to have the judge recalled from the bench.

Juanita Broaddrick is this week's esteemed guest WOMENACE. One of the original (and reluctant) #metoo’s before there was even a #MeToo Movement, her 1978 sexual victimization by the General Attorney of Arkansas William J. Clinton heavily impacted the 2016 American Presidential election, and she only returned to our national consciousness because she responded to a tweet Hillary Clinton sent in 2015. Please welcome Juanita Broaddrick to the podcast. Please Stand With Survivors.

Based in Chicago, Mike Volpe is a freelance journalist whose work has appeared in The Daily Caller, Front Page Magazine, Washington Examiner, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference Newsletter, Crime Magazine, and Counter Punch. Mike investigates judicial misconduct and corruption, has written three books, and joins Lisa to explain precisely how fathers who sexually abuse their children invoke “Parental Alienation” as their defense in Family Court.

You may recognize our wonderful guest Nanine McCool from her Jumbotron appearance with Tony Robbins, where he tried to intimidate her in front of everyone attending his worship in an arena. But I know this former Family Law attorney from Facebook, where I first noticed her for losing her bar card because she refused to pretend her client's ex-husband wasn't sexually abusing her children. Please welcome Nanine McCool.

Part 2 with our esteemed guest, Rachel Bruno. Rachel and I chat more about her lawsuit against the social workers and the rest of the "professionals" who trafficked her sons through CPS and California Family Court because she brought her 4-month-old baby to the ER with a brain injury. Did the nanny get arrested? Are her son's okay? How did Rachel have the strength to make it through this horrible ordeal? Please enjoy Truth Teller and Advocate for Family Court Reform, Rachel Bruno.
