Attorney James Smith is back for another insightful episode! This time, we dive into the complex world of political criticism, starting with Kamala Harris’s time as a prosecutor. We break down the misinformation campaigns—many fueled by foreign actors like Russia—aimed at distorting her record and influencing U.S. opinions. We also discuss the ongoing federal case in Tampa involving the Uhuru Movement, debunking exaggerated claims about Kamala's role, including the myth that she jailed 1,200 men for nonviolent marijuana offenses. By examining probation violations and judicial decisions, we reveal the truth behind these allegations.   Next, we tackle gender bias in political criticism, highlighting the double standards faced by women in politics. Our conversation touches on Donald Trump's handling of the transition process and his lack of preparedness for crises like the global pandemic. We contrast this with the need for experienced leadership. Finally, we explore economic policies like the childcare tax credit and the importance of universal healthcare, drawing comparisons to systems like Germany.   Join us for a packed episode full of clarity and real talk!   Watch Full Episode and Subscribe on YouTube ‌ Thank you to our Sponsors: BetterHelp - Get 10% off your First Month www.betterhelp.com/pwp Idea to Launch Podcast - Get $100 Off our signature course using code 'PIVOT' - LAUNCH YOUR PODCAST IN 30 DAYS Ready to start your own podcast?
