Suzanne Lambert, Maya Wiley and How To Fight Back For Real

from Andy Beshear Podcast · host Andy Beshear, John McConnell, Suzanne Lambert, Maya Wiley

This week, Andy sits down with two guests bringing very different energy to the same fight. Comedian and political creator Suzanne Lambert, the voice behind "Mean but True" joins to talk about Southern women fighting back, the best french fries, and how the right has learned to weaponize Democrats being too nice. It's a candid, funny, and sharp conversation about why playing nice isn't working. Then Maya Wiley, president and CEO of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, joins to break down this week's confirmation hearings for Todd Blanche, Trump's pick for Attorney General, the growing wave of attacks on nonprofits across the country, and the unprecedented indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center. Plus, Andy gets into affordable housing, the Colorado governor's race results, mental health, the latest on Iran, and a much-awaited update on Senator Mitch McConnell. A lot of ground covered this week, let's get into it.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
