Stand up.

Hey friends, it is Friday, and I have Dr. Christina Greer joining me today, and she does not

disappoint.

As always, if you want to jump to that conversation, it begins at 22 minutes into today's show.

But I've got your headlines and a clip show coming up.

I want to thank everybody who joined me last night for our subscriber hangout. We were there for almost three hours.

Gareth and Vicky sang to us. And we had a very special guest, Atima Omarah joined us to talk about her new book, The Instigators. She was there for about half an hour. And so we're about like, I don't know, I don't know how many people there, like 70 of you there as well. I did not record it. I'm sorry about that. But we had a great time and I hope to see you at next Thursdays hangout or anytime on the Discord platform. If you are a subscriber or Patreon.com slash Pete Dominic or go over to Substat and get a paid subscription there at Pete Dominic. I do still have a little bit of a cold.

The move comes in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court gutting the 1965 voting rights at that required states with a history of racial discrimination

to ensure minority representation in Congress. And the minute, they weren't required to do it,

like before the minute. They were prepared for when the decision came down. They, of course,

changed the rules. It's now legal for maps to be drawn

along partisan lines without any racial concerns. And so I've got some audio from Justin Pearson,

who is a state senator there in Tennessee, which is very powerful coming up in the clip show.

Huge story yesterday, really upsetting, very depressing, very important. And we've got to continue to talk about it.

We've got to continue to fight.

So here's more news.

A confidential CIA analysis delivered to the administration, the regime policymaker,

this week apparently concludes that Iran can survive a U.S. naval blockade for at least three to four months before facing more severe
