Earl invites Pat Dennis, President of American Bridge 21st Century, to discuss his lifelong commitment to helping others and the rising costs of state supreme court elections, which have surged to $30 million—more than double previous spending. Earl seeks Pat's thoughts on motivating apathetic voters. In response, Pat emphasizes the need to shift the political narrative to boost voter engagement. Meanwhile, the Republican Party aims to cut taxes for the wealthy and reduce healthcare funding by $800 million. Pat Dennis talks about Brad Schimmel who cut plea deals for child molesters and left 6000 rape kits untested and only 9 tested. At 8:30 AM, we welcome former Attorney General Eric Holder to talk about state government elections. Earl inquires how to motivate people who feel exhausted or frustrated with voting, emphasizing the need to keep fighting and not give up. The conversation then turns to Susan Crawford, with Eric Holder expressing his belief that she is the right person for the role, while he lacks confidence in Brad Schimmel.
