The Michele Tafoya Podcast

Alan Dershowitz is one of the most celebrated lawyers in the world. He joins Michele to discuss (1) how he intends to hold anti-Israeli NON-PEACEFUL protesters accountable in court and defend — pro bono — Jews who’ve been victimized by these attacks… (2) how and why antisemitism has taken root in academia… and (3) his latest book, “Get Trump: The Threat to Civil Liberties, Due Process, and our Constitutional Rule of Law.” You can’t hear Dershowitz speak on college campuses anymore (he tells us why), so listen to him here.

Wait, WHAT? What did the Biden Administration just do to Title IX? Why are there lawsuits? Gimme the details! OK, we will. The Biden Administration has bowed to the DEI industry by saying trans-women (biological men identifying as female) can play on women’s teams, change in women’s locker-rooms and more. May Mailman, Director of Independent Women’s Law Center tells us about the lawsuit that’s been filed to stop these unfair changes to what was a law designed to protect women.

Remember the Fall of the Roman Empire? Many have predicted a similar fall for the United States. Are we on the brink? Our guest, Jeremy Ryan Slate, believes history doesn’t necessarily repeat itself, rather it rhymes. Either way, there are signs that inflation and immigration — two huge problems for the Roman Empire — could spell massive trouble for the US. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

She was abused by her family, dealing with mental illness, and finding solace in the wrong places. In an effort to shed her skin, she decided to transition from girl to boy. This involved cross-sex hormones and a double mastectomy. Now, she has a strong warning for parents and anyone else who may fall prey to what she calls a “Gender Cult.” Laura Becker joins Michele.

Failing to prepare is preparing to fail. You can apply that old adage to every aspect of life. Have we prepared for the threats coming from China? Because those threats are real. The Chinese Communist Party has it’s eyes on global domination. How do you feel about that? You should care. And Michael Sobolik of the American Foreign Policy Council wrote a book that can tell you all you need to know: “Countering China’s Great Game.” He joins Michele for a preview. Please care...

There is nothing more fruitful than the vigorous competition of opposing viewpoints. But as high school debate organizations have become inundated by progressive ideologies, actual debate is being crushed. There is hope, however. Vivek Ramaswamy and Bill DeBlasio recently appeared on the same stage with the same mission: to help revive authentic debate. 2024 Incubate Debate National Champion Briana Whatley joins Michele, along with the competition's founder, James Fishback. https://incubatedebate.org/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Former Levi's President Jennifer Sey has always been on the side of truth. As a gymnast herself, she was the first to speak out about the abuse of female gymnasts. As a mom, she roared against the COVID machine that demanded masking and school closures. And now, she's put her marketing genius into action with a new clothing line, XX-XY Athletics. http://thetruthfits.com/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Given a choice between financially supporting his family and declining an experimental vaccine mandated by his employer, Brandon Weiberg acquiesced to the jab and subsequently suffered vaccine related side-effects and an adverse health outcome. Rather than defer to "experts", Brandon ran for Mayor in his town and now seeks to empower individuals and defend free speech through a Health Freedom Resolution allowing business owners to set their own standards.

China hates us, but we let them manufacture all our stuff — much of it done by forced labor. The exceptional Bayard Winthrop, CEO and Founder of American Giant, is betting on America. He has moral, ethical, patriotic, and economic reasons for making all his company’s clothing in America. By the end of this podcast, you’ll wish Mr. Winthrop was running for President. One of my favorite episodes EVER. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"The NCAA cannot succeed in achieving ethical sport so long as it endorses a policy of discrimination against female student-athletes. Because of the NCAA’s track record of persistent disregard for competitive fairness for female student-athletes, I have decided that continued service on the Division I Committee on Infractions is not an effective way for me to contribute to a level playing field in college sport." William Bock, formerly of the NCAA Committee on Infractions, joins Michele. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Anthony Rubin established Muckraker.com to expose illegal migration, China’s influence on the US, and leftism. He took cameras into Ecuador to document his travels with groups of illegal migrants. What he saw and learned was astonishing. He shares it all with Michele. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Michele explains why she's not a fan of identity politics. Women's History Month, however, should be dedicated to real women... And that's where Michele and Lady Gaga disagree. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Michele shares the story of a University of Cincinnati student who received a failing grade for using the term, “biological women.” At a time in civilization when some people can’t answer the question, “What is a woman?”, it seems odd that we should celebrate Women’s History Month. If anyone can be a woman, what’s the point of celebrating women specifically? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Film critic Christian Toto ( https://www.hollywoodintoto.com/ ) joins Michele to talk about the highs and lows of the Oscars and of Hollywood in general. Why can’t Disney get it right? Did the recent strikes make actors more appreciative of their lifestyle? And was Barbie really worth it? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

TikTok. A port into Gaza. The reduction in military troops. Which of these ideas are sound? Which are foolish? Veterans on Duty (VOD) is an organization whose mission is to “ensure the United States of America has a strong, prepared, and focused military.” VOD Chairman, Jeremy Hunt, and Advisory Board member, Jimmy Byrn, join Michele to drop some truth bombs. https://vetsonduty.org/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Former Georgia Congressman, attorney, and military officer Doug Collins joins the podcast to talk Trump, Haley, Newsom, and Biden. Can this election survive the fear porn? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Comedian, author, and speaker Tim Young has close to a million followers on X — including Elon Musk. His brand of humor makes you laugh over issues that could otherwise make you cry… like Trans-women in sports, The “Hamas Caucus” in Congress, and renaming illegal immigrants as “Newcomers.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Thursday, February 29th, will be a busy day at the southern border, as Biden tries to look like he cares about the crisis he made there… and Trump tries to position himself as the man who can fix the disastrous situation. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The abortion issue is molding election outcomes. If Republicans want to win races, they must moderate — convincingly — on the issue. And the recent developments in Alabama surrounding IVF only make things more challenging. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
