Redone, rehabilitated and real entertaining.

This is the Carl Jackson podcast.

Hello and welcome to Friday's edition of the Carl Jackson Show podcast.

This is your daily dose of objective truth in the world of confusion and lies.

Guys today we have an amazing show lined up for you today. Heather McDonnell is joining us.

She is with the Thomas W Smith fellow or she is a Thomas W Smith fellow at the Manhattan Institute also a contributing editor of City Journal and the author of the newly published book which I just got have not read yet, but at least you will be able to see it and I'm going to ask you to buy it just because we all know that Heather McDonnell's books are reference books that we can go through and read and pretend like we're smarter than we actually are.

So that's why I love getting her material, but the name of the book is when race trumps merit, how the pursuit of equity sacrifices excellence destroys beauty and threatens lives and before we get to Heather first.

Let me talk to you real quickly about our sponsors today. My pillow, Michael and Dale has built a fabulous business at my pillow.com.

You know he's a patriot providing American jobs, American manufacturing. Well his latest is the new my pillow 2.0. It's just as actually it's more comfortable than the original my pillow.

If you could believe it, it has a temperature regulating fabric that surrounds it now, but it still has the original patented feeling.

So now the pillow is softer, smoother and cooler. You're going to absolutely love it.

Also guys, we know that we need to be inspired right now. I mean what we're witnessing in America what we're experiencing in America. I did not think we would I would live to experience frankly.

We all need times of inspiration. So I want to talk to you about the movie part and by grace from the makers of Grand Family films comes a powerful and inspiring true story that's going to touch your heart and renew your faith.

I want to introduce you to the movie part and by grace is the incredible journey of Scott high burger that's played by actor Joey Lawrence a convicted criminal turned prison minister who defies all the odds and receives an unlikely pardon to continue his ministry on the outside featuring Grammy award winning singer songwriter Michael W Smith as high burgers faster pardoned by grace showcases the transformative power of redemption and the boundless reach of God's love.

You can watch part and by grace on Salem now and when you purchase a copy at Salem down calm a DVD will be donated to Scott high burgers nonprofit prison organization called behind the wire ministries which provides hope and support to the incarcerated together.

We can share the power of faith and forgiveness for those who need it most you can visit Salem now calm Salem down calm Salem now calm purchase your DVD there and then again a portion of that the portion of that sale will be donated to Scott high burgers ministry behind the wire ministries now without any further ado because we have her for a short period of time Heather McDonald welcome back to the project and show podcast.

It's great being with you Carl thank you so much for having me on thank you Heather listen I gotta ask you right off the bat I remember when we spoke last year.

And I ask you about Mayor Eric Adams he had just become mayor of New York City I think if I recall correctly of you were withholding judgment he had said some promising things I think he's been a complete and utter disaster am I wrong and I said I thought he would be a complete and utter disaster at the time am I wrong Heather McDonald.

Carl you were right you are right then you're right now it's been he's been a non entity he has had no effect on the city's quality of life on public safety the post regularly recounts his late night carousing at various spots now you know maybe one can do both but he is simply torn between a sort of a business support that wants him to stand up for public safety.

And then wanting to play the race card wanting to demagogue on various crime issues and and that has basically paralyzed him.

This is honestly it's so I hate I hate to say this but I gotta say it just because it's true whenever there's a black left leaning leader I can predict that it's going to be a disaster you can call me a racist call me Uncle Tom sell out I really don't care the facts are the facts and I'm tired.

I think more people being victimized through crime and even murder I mean going so far as murder because as to murder because you have these woke mayors these woke D.A.s many times that are minorities that buy into the social justice craft and do nothing but harm the black community and Heather actually that's what I want to speak with you about today you wrote is it called an essay the city journal on race and crime account or murder.
