The discussion opened with Collins making a bold prediction: Trump is poised to reclaim the White House in 2024. He pointed to Trump’s influence in crucial battleground states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, asserting that these states will play pivotal roles in the electoral outcome. Collins emphasized that the economy would be the defining issue for voters, especially given rising living costs and inflation, which he believes resonate deeply with the electorate’s concerns as they gear up to vote.

Collins didn’t shy away from criticizing current Vice President Kamala Harris, suggesting that her strategies have lacked clarity and effectiveness, despite her nearly four years in office. He questioned her ability to spearhead genuine change amid ongoing economic challenges.

Dr. Richey, however, pushed back against Collins’s assertions regarding Trump’s prospects. Citing polling data, he illustrated a tightly contested race, challenging Collins’s confidence in a Trump victory. The host took a robust stance on the economic impacts of Trump’s presidency, particularly highlighting the significant increase in inflation rates during his term, which, according to Richey, led to a decrease in real household incomes for Black Americans—a demographic that Collins argues should have benefited more from Trump’s policies.

Regarding trade, Collins defended Trump’s tariffs on Chinese goods as a necessary move to safeguard American interests and support farmers. He acknowledged, though, that these tariffs have had complicated repercussions for the agricultural sector, complicating the narrative of unmitigated success.

The topic then veered towards immigration. Collins contended that illegal immigration poses a pressing issue requiring urgent reform and enforcement of the existing laws. Dr. Richey contested this assertion, framing the narrative around immigration as often misleading. He asserted that automation, rather than immigrant labor, plays a far more significant role in job losses, urging a reevaluation of how these narratives shape public perception.

The conversation took a humanizing turn when Richey addressed the terminology used in immigration debates, highlighting how labeling individuals as “illegal immigrants” dehumanizes them. He advocated for a broader understanding of the socio-economic factors that drive migration, such as instability and economic turmoil in migrants’ countries of origin.

As the dialogue expanded, both speakers found common ground on the shortcomings of U.S. foreign policy, particularly its failure to economically stabilize neighboring countries. They reflected on the historical context of U.S. relations with regions like Africa, noting that while previous administrations, particularly under Barack Obama, sought partnerships, those efforts have since declined, failing to address the roots of migration and instability.

Richey took a critical stance on the current political landscape, arguing that militaristic approaches to foreign policy perpetuate cycles of conflict instead of fostering growth and stability. He lamented the lack of effective economic strategies that could lead to meaningful change in regions that desperately need it.

This robust exchange highlights the complex landscape of American politics as the country marches toward the 2024 elections, illuminating the stark divisions in perspectives on economic and social issues.

This approach not only enriches the conversation but also provides listeners with multiple perspectives on critical issues. Dr. Richey’s skillful moderation and compelling storytelling create an engaging listening experience that encourages audience participation and reflection.

The Black Podcasting Awards aim to recognize and celebrate the contributions of Black podcasters across various genres. Dr. Richey’s nomination in the Best News & Politics category highlights the increasing importance of Black voices in shaping narratives around politics and social justice. As the media landscape becomes more fragmented, platforms like the Black Podcasting Awards serve to uplift and amplify creators who are making meaningful contributions to the discourse.

This Emmy-nominated national broadcaster, philanthropist, published author, physics professor and the 2023 recipient of the Top Media Estate Award from the Multicultural Media Correspondents Association, sponsored by Comcast NBC Universal, recently signed a national radio syndication deal with Agents & Strategies LLC, estimated to be worth over 2.7 million dollars, airing his morning show, ‘The Dr. Rashad Richey Morning Show’ on radio stations across the USA and Canada, making him the “king of media” in more ways than one.

Dr. Richey first began his rise to national prominence while being the on-air television political analyst for CBS News Atlanta, where he was the first (and only) political commentator to receive an Emmy nomination for his role. In 2020 and 2021, he provided weekly commentary on MSNBC, debating issues with counter-commentators on a litany of subjects, while maintaining his local weekday morning talk show in Atlanta, Georgia, the ‘Rashad Richey Morning Show’, airing on News & Talk 1380-WAOK, an Audacy station. Dr. Richey, who recently signed a 2.7 million dollar national syndication deal with Agents & Strategies for his morning show, has interviewed everyone from Bobby Brown to presidential candidate, United States Vice-President Kamala Harris. His popularity in the Atlanta market earned him the distinction of being named “Most Trusted Voice in Atlanta” by the Atlanta Business Journal and was voted ‘Best Talk Radio Personality in Atlanta’ by readers of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, making him the first Black broadcaster to receive the distinction. 

In the most recent Reader’s Choice edition of Atlanta Magazine, Dr. Richey was voted ‘Best TV News Anchor’  and ‘Best Radio Personality’, the first person to win both categories simultaneously. “When Dr. Richey speaks, he resonates with people from all walks of life. His authenticity is derived from his lived experiences. His heart for people-centered solutions makes him focused, fearless, and fine-tuned, speaking truth in an era where disinformation has become a sport for some. His relentless passion sheds light on the soul of America, contributing to a more illuminated future”, said David Morgan, Co-Founder and President, Multicultural Media & Correspondents Association.

In addition to his weekly radio broadcast, Dr. Richey also holds down the air-chair as host of ‘The Dr. Rashad Richey Review’ on SiriusXM Urban View Channel 126, airing Sundays at 1 pm EST & 9 pm EST and still has enough energy to be the daily television opinion news anchor for ‘Indisputable With Dr. Rashad Richey,’ a live nationally syndicated TV show through the TYT Network, ranked the “fastest-growing TV news show in America” by HEG Evaluation Group, with over three million viewers daily. The show regularly features nationally known figures like radio giant, actor, and comedian Rickey Smiley, HBO Max’s Aida Rodriguez, news host Sharon Reed, and Enfield, North Carolina Mayor Mondale Robinson. 

‘Indisputable’s’ corresponding YouTube and Facebook Watch pages have over 2.17 million combined subscribers/followers, and airs live weekdays from 2:30 pm to 4 pm EST on Comcast Xfinity, Xfinity Flex, SamsungTV, RokuTV, PlutoTV, and other national digital cable platforms. And while his new 2.7-million-dollar syndication deal ranks him as a top earner in media, Dr. Richey’s YouTube page alone garners 2.65 million dollars annually according to the website FameMingles, and his TYT Network deal allows for multi-market syndication across a plethora of monetized platforms. These numbers do not include endorsement arrangements or his SuriusXM contract. Based on industry estimates, Dr. Richey’s media empire, which includes being president of Rolling Out, the largest free-print urban publication in America, ranges between 8.1 – 12.2 million dollars. The success experienced by Dr. Richey and other content creators of his pedigree points to the power of being a multifaceted, multi-platformed, technologically savvy on-air talent, understanding the power of traditional and nontraditional media mediums, to more effectively reach the masses.

The post Dr. Rashad Richey’s Podcast Nominated for Best National News & Politics Podcast by Black Podcasting Awards appeared first on The LA Monitor.

Johnathan Horner, an award-winning composer, producer, and audio engineer, recently posted a blog post article titled, “Dr. Rashad Richey: The Mad Genius Who Just Might Outsmart Dementia”. 

He wrote, “Okay, folks, gather ’round and buckle those seatbelts. It’s time to talk about Dr. Rashad Richey, the man on a mission to kick Alzheimer’s right in its forgetful little backside! Now, you might have caught a glimpse of Dr. Richey on Meditech’s website. They mentioned something crazy about “Neurological Brain Entrainment Devices,” quantum theories, and a whole lotta fancy science that might cure dementia. Well, I’m here to confirm it: this guy’s the real deal, and that device of his is pure, unadulterated, mind-boggling genius. Maybe with a sprinkle of madness, but the good kind, trust me.

After obtaining more insight into the device’s operations and effectiveness, Horner utilized his vast knowledge of sound engineering and compositional art to explain the process. “Think of it this way: our brains are like orchestras, right? Each little neuron is a musician, and they all gotta play in sync. Alzheimer’s is like some drunk conductor stumbling in, waving the baton all wrong, and turning the whole symphony into screeching chaos. Dr. Richey’s invention, the NBED, is basically like a cosmic music teacher sent by the heavens. It uses some sort of futuristic brainwave-tuning technology to get those neurons back into harmony, Horner said. 

Dr. Richey, who holds multiple advanced degrees and currently enrolled in graduate studies at Dartmouth College, one of America’s 8 Ivy League institutions, is a physics professor at Paris Graduate School and inventor of the Neurological Brain Entrainment Device (NBED), scheduled for medical clinical trials this year. His peer-reviewed published research can be found in the International Journal of Science and Research. He has lectured at universities in various disciplines across America, including the University of Michigan, Morehouse School of Medicine, Clark Atlanta University, Morris Brown College, and Albany State University to name a few. Recently, Dr. Richey was invited to lecture in Egypt by renowned scholar, Dr. Chike Akua, on ancient civilizations and their mastery of quantum physics.

Horner continued, “Here’s the craziest part: they say this thing actually worked on a real-life patient with Alzheimer’s! We’re talking about a peer-reviewed case study and everything – that’s like the Holy Grail of science. I swear, you can practically see the headlines: “Local Physicist Outsmarts Brain Disease – Nobel Prize in the Mail!”

Now, let’s not get ahead of ourselves just yet. This whole thing is still in the research phase, which means Dr. Richey’s probably got his lab looking like something Doc Brown cooked up in Back to the Future. There are wires, mysterious blinking lights, and maybe even a DeLorean parked out back (who knows with this guy, right?).

But you know what’s even cooler than his crazy inventions? Dr. Richey himself! From what his colleague Dr. Carhee said, the guy never stops. He’s probably got ten different scientific theories buzzing around in his head right now, and he’s gotta test ’em all, sleep be damned! This is a mad scientist with a heart of gold, people!

Horner ended his review by saying, “So, let’s raise a metaphorical beaker (preferably full of something caffeinated, ’cause that’s what science runs on) to Dr. Rashad Richey! Sure, his method might be unconventional, his hair might be a touch Einstein-esque, and let’s be real, he probably forgets his own name half the time. But this is the kind of brilliant, slightly-unhinged mind who just might crack the code to defeating Alzheimer’s once and for all.”

Many have taken notice to Professor Richey’s unorthodox yet effective remedies in science and society. In a recent article by Tech Times, they wrote “Dr. Richey’s role as an innovator in neuroscience and his invention’s potential to revolutionize Alzheimer’s disease treatment cannot be overstated. His work reinforces the notion that with the right combination of expertise and determination, the boundaries of medical science can be expanded in ways previously unimaginable.” Adding, “The implications of Dr. Richey’s invention may even extend far beyond Alzheimer’s disease. The principles underlying the Neurological Brain Entrainment Device could potentially be adapted to treat various neurological conditions, from Parkinson’s disease to traumatic brain injury.”

The popular tech publication also said, “As research progresses and the device’s applications broaden, Dr. Richey’s contribution to the field could redefine our approach to neurological care, making treatments more effective, less invasive, affordable, and more accessible to those in need. The Neurological Brain Entrainment Device could prove the power of human ingenuity to confront and overcome the challenges posed by some of the most complex diseases known to man.”

With 160 million views monthly for the national linear cable TV opinion news show ‘Indisputable’, and noted as the top talk radio personality in Atlanta, Georgia (The Rashad Richey Morning Show on News & Talk 1380 WAOK and V-103FM HD3) by readers of Atlanta Magazine and Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and his show, ‘Dr. Rashad Richey Review’ on SiriusXM’s Urban View Channel 126, Dr. Richey is fast becoming a household name nationally.

Established as the premier voice for this generation, Dr. Richey, who is also a noted scholar and university professor, provides sincere and intellectual commentary on complex political, policy, and social issues domestically and abroad. Holding multiple advanced degrees, including completing doctoral studies in federal policy reform from Clark Atlanta University, an MBA from Beulah Heights University, master’s degree in applied physics and quantum mechanics from UNEM University, to name a few, Dr. Richey provides lectures for top institutions like University of Michigan, Morehouse School of Medicine, Morris Brown College, and Reinhardt University. Currently completing his law degree at Birmingham School of Law, Dr. Richey was named, “one of the most academically-credentialed individuals in American history,” by the national publication America News Now.

The show dives into pressing news and provides exclusive reporting, thoughtful debates, insightful commentary, and a heavy dose of fact-based truth daily. Unafraid to report on controversial stories, Dr. Richey has become a “go-to” person for members of law enforcement who seek him out to help expose corruption.

United States Senator Jon Ossoff, who sits on the powerful Homeland Security Committee and chaired the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, credited Dr. Richey’s journalism as, “…fulfilling your public obligation to bring facts into public light and into the awareness of policymakers that indicate a possible pattern of abuse, misconduct, and racism – brought it to my attention, I referred it to the DOJ.”

Sen. Ossoff was referring to Dr. Richey’s exclusive reporting on allegations of misconduct at Victorville Prison in California. Through Dr. Richey’s reporting, not only did the Department of Justice get involved, the family publicly thanked Richey for his fearless advocacy and reporting.

Through popular segments like ‘I Wish a Karen Would’ and exclusive reporting, ‘Indisputable with Dr. Rashad Richey’, has become a trusted source for news consumers. Part of this success is the connection Dr. Richey has built with his audience, the quality of the content, and the push to drive positive change. Dr. Richey has become a trusted voice in the pursuit of justice; he investigated and broke exclusive stories as a result of tips received from the audience.

One example is Dr. Richey obtained exclusive footage of five jail officials brutalizing Jarrett Hobbs in a jail cell at the Camden County Jail in the City of New Brunswick, Georgia.

Hobbs told ‘Indisputable’, “I really thought I was going to lose my life that night. That was the only thing I was telling myself, was ‘don’t fall to the ground,’ because you know that’s how George Floyd died. So, that’s why I would not fall to the ground even though I had five or six officers on me. It could have been the last day of my life.”

Dr. Richey’s exclusive reporting and commentary on Jarrett Hobbs went viral on social media for shedding light on police abuse. Mr. Hobbs was granted a major settlement, all charges against him were dropped, and the officers involved in the brutal attack have all been indicted.

‘Indisputable’ broadcasts live weekdays from 2:30 p.m. – 4 p.m. EST on the TYT Network, which includes multiple national linear cable TV platforms; Comcast Xfinity, Xfinity Flex, Roku Channel, Pluto TV, Xumo, Local Now, Fubo TV, and more.
