  May 13, 202626 min

  On May 12, 2026, Dr. Cindy Banyai discusses a difficult week in politics and local news, reacting to the arrest of Dunbar High School band director Leroy “Doc” Irving by the Fort Myers Police Department on allegations including child pornography and inappropriate sexual contact with a minor, while emphasizing presumption of innocence and condemning abuse of authority. She reflects on broader cultural debates about adults engaging in sexual conduct with minors, the recurring pattern of offenders seeking access to children through schools, and the need for protection measures and accountability. Banyai also covers a House Oversight Committee field hearing in West Palm Beach featuring Epstein survivors, criticizes the DOJ’s failure to release Epstein files and pursue prosecutions, and argues “Save the Children” outrage was largely astroturfed.

  Victoria Doyle on Ending Big Money in Politics

  Apr 23, 202638 min

  In this Season 4 episode of Dr. Cindy Speaks on the Big Mouth Media Network, host Dr. Cindy Banyai interviews Florida congressional candidate Victoria Doyle, a former corporate lawyer and longtime activist who moved from New York to Florida and is challenging incumbent Rep. Lois Frankel. Doyle says she’s running because of Frankel’s reliance on PAC, corporate, and billionaire money and calls for bold, grassroots politics focused on overturning Citizens United via a constitutional amendment, tackling income inequality, and passing universal healthcare. The conversation also addresses Democrats’ messaging and leadership, and Doyle outlines her approach to Israel and Gaza: holding hearings on facts on the ground, applying the Leahy Law, and being willing to pause or reduce military aid while openly criticizing Prime Minister Netanyahu.

  Amanda Marie Green on Running for Congress in Florida’s Massive 2nd District

  Apr 16, 202637 min

  On tax day and FEC filing day (April 15, 2026), Dr. Cindy Banyai hosts Amanda Marie Green (AMG), a North Florida Democrat running for Congress in Florida’s 2nd District, the largest by land mass east of the Mississippi. Green shares her background as a military-family “Florida kid,” her career with a top USAID partner, and how the Trump administration’s dismantling of USAID—along with difficulty reaching her congressman—helped drive her to run, even while pregnant and now as a new mother. She describes district priorities including hunger, rural healthcare access, and Black maternal health outcomes, argues for stronger constituent services and bringing federal dollars home, and discusses foreign bot influence on social media.
