Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Attorney General, City Atty and Judge Races with Attorney Tiffiny Townend Blacknell
Q: How should voters approach down-ballot judicial races, and why is it important to engage with interviews and non-majority candidates?
Voters should research candidates' records, listen to interviews, and consider diversity of thought and lived experience on the bench to ensure fair treatment of defendants and victims, as well as practical and humane approaches to justice that reflect community needs.
The Attorney General, City Atty and Judge Races with Attorney Tiffiny Townend Blacknell
Q: Why is the attorney general role considered important beyond headlines, especially in relation to local law enforcement and accountability?
The attorney general's office influences statewide prosecutions, oversight of policing, and the balance between enforcing laws and protecting civil rights, which can have a chilling effect on officers and agencies if politicized; keeping that office independent and focused on justice helps ensure accountability and transparency.
Tax Immunity, Criminal Immunity, Is Trump Untouchable? + Rep. Jim Clyburn Talks with Tavis Smiley
Q: You've spoken about the aging leadership and the dynamic of changes in Congress. What keeps you motivated to stay in the fight, and what do you see as your role moving forward?
Clyburn describes the importance of perseverance, the need to mentor younger lawmakers, and a commitment to safeguarding civil rights and democratic processes, even amidst pressure to step aside. He frames leadership as a duty to do hard work and build durable alliances.
Tax Immunity, Criminal Immunity, Is Trump Untouchable? + Rep. Jim Clyburn Talks with Tavis Smiley
Q: Can you explain why you view the SAVE Act as a continuation of old suppression tactics, and what its practical effects would be?
He explains that the SAVE Act would mandate voter IDs in ways that discriminate against certain groups, creating barriers similar to Jim Crow-era practices, and questions who would determine which IDs are acceptable, highlighting inconsistencies in ID policy.
Tax Immunity, Criminal Immunity, Is Trump Untouchable? + Rep. Jim Clyburn Talks with Tavis Smiley
Q: Congressman, how do you view the recent Supreme Court ruling gutting the Voting Rights Act and what does it mean for future elections?
Clyburn argues that the decision undermines protections that once allowed minorities to participate fully in the electoral process, forecasting more aggressive gerrymandering and reduced access to voting for African Americans if changes aren't reversed. He stresses the need to mobilize, adapt, and fight to preserve voting rights.
