The Officer Tatum Show

Brandon Tatum

My shows talk about politics, life, and success.

As a black conservative my voice and opinions are not usually popular, but this platform gives me an opportunity to share my beliefs with an appreciative and receptive audience.

I hope these podcasts help keep you informed, inspired, and every once in a while... laughing.

Love y‘all.

New Yorkers PROTEST Mamdani after 9/11 Ceremony GOES SOUTH | Officer Tatum Show EP 376
In this episode, I reflect on the 25th anniversary of 9/11 and why America can never forget the lives lost, the heroes who stepped up, and the unity we saw after our country was attacked. Then I break down the battle for the midterms, why I believe the polls are underestimating Republicans again, and the growing Senate fight in Minnesota between Michele Tafoya and Peggy Flanagan. I also dig into new revelations from a juror in the Lindsey Clancy trial, including who the lone holdout was and what kept him from accepting the insanity argument. Plus, I react to Oprah’s discussion on postpartum psychosis and the growing debate over accountability in the Clancy case. Then James Talarico joins Jimmy Kimmel and uses Christianity to defend his politics, and I explain why I believe his version of Jesus leaves out a whole lot of the Bible.

I also react to the deadly Amazon cargo plane crash in Miami as investigators examine what happened during the landing and whether pilot error, mechanical failure, or another factor played a role. Then I dig into the trial of Nicole Linton, the former nurse accused of causing the horrific 2022 Windsor Hills crash that killed six people, as her defense argues she suffered a seizure before the impact.

Black People TURN ON Karmelo Anthony As NEW Photos, Texts RELEASED | Officer Tatum EP 373
In this episode, I break down newly released messages in the Karmelo Anthony case and ask why so many people blindly supported him based on race before knowing the full story. Then I dive into the Lindsey Clancy mistrial, what jurors are now saying about the lone holdout, whether an insanity defense was justified, and why comparisons to Tanya McDowell and other cases leave out some very important facts. I also fire back at D.L. Hughley and Don Lemon after they brought me and my wife into their conversation, and I react to Texas candidate James Talarico’s comments about Christianity and other religions. Plus, Master P joins Cam Newton for a conversation every Black American should hear about ownership, supporting Black businesses, building wealth, personal responsibility, and why changing the culture starts with us.

Al Sharpton PANICS About UPCOMING Lawsuit From Nolan Wells' Friends | Officer Tatum EP 372
In this episode, I break down the latest ruling in the Tyler Robinson case as the judge explains why prosecutors presented enough evidence to establish probable cause and send all seven charges toward trial. We look at the DNA evidence, surveillance footage, alleged messages to Lance Twiggs, and the judge’s explanation for why the aggravated murder and firearm charges cleared this stage of the case. I also give the latest on the Lindsey Clancy trial after a woman was arrested and charged with allegedly intimidating jurors as deliberations remain deadlocked. Then I react to Jemele Hill’s argument about capitalism and a father’s emotional testimony blaming sanctuary policies after his daughter was reportedly paralyzed in a crash involving an undocumented driver.

Bank of America VP UNALIVED By Woman In NYC, Lindsay Clancy Updates + MORE | EP 371
In this episode, I break down the viral Arkansas police video showing a state trooper pulling a man from a vehicle by his dreadlocks and punching him during an arrest. I show what happened before the viral clip, including the high-speed chase, repeated attempts to stop the vehicle, and the commands given after the pursuit ended. Then I explain why judging police use of force requires looking at the entire encounter, not just the few seconds that go viral. I also give the latest update in the Lindsey Clancy trial after jurors told the judge they were unable to reach a unanimous verdict and were ordered to continue deliberating. Plus, I react to the deadly random stabbing in Times Square that left a Bank of America vice president dead and ended with police fatally shooting the knife-wielding suspect after she allegedly threatened officers and refused to surrender.

Nolan Wells Moment of Silence DENIED At Opening Football Game? | Officer Tatum Show EP 370
In this episode, I break down a massive child recovery operation in Florida that located 163 missing children in just five days. I explain why protecting vulnerable kids should be one issue every American can agree on and why law enforcement needs the resources and support to aggressively pursue anyone exploiting or abusing children. Then we return to the Nolan Wells case after people accused Ocean Springs High School of failing to honor Nolan at its season-opening football game. I show what the school actually did and explain why getting the facts matters before fueling more outrage. Plus, I give the latest update in the Lindsey Clancy trial as jury deliberations continue, including my concerns that jurors in such a high-profile case were allowed to go home for the weekend rather than being sequestered.

NEW Witness SPOTTED Nolan Wells HOURS After Friends Left | Officer Tatum Show EP 369
In this episode, I break down the Lindsey Clancy case as the jury weighs whether she was criminally responsible for the deaths of her three children. I look at the arguments surrounding postpartum psychosis, prescription medications, alleged planning before the killings, and the prosecution’s evidence, while explaining why this case requires looking at the facts instead of blindly choosing a side. I also react to Stephen A. Smith firing back at critics who attack him publicly but refuse his invitations to sit down and have a real conversation. Then I sit down with John Hewett, a witness who was at Horn Island on July 4, for new details in the Nolan Wells case. Hewett describes seeing one of the boats leave the island, encountering several of the young men later in the channel without Nolan, and speaking directly with Nolan’s mother shortly after he disappeared. He also describes the conditions at Horn Island that day, what he witnessed around the group, and why he believes the racial narrative that later surrounded Nolan’s death does not reflect the community he knows.

Jelly Roll DOUBLES DOWN On Trump Jokes, Good Good CANCELED | Officer Tatum Show EP 368
In this episode, I react to the outrage surrounding Good Good Golf after a staged commercial sparked accusations of sexism and violence against women. I break down the ad, the apologies, the companies distancing themselves from Good Good, and the backlash directed at the woman who actually appeared in the commercial. Then I call out what I see as a massive double standard in how people decide what entertainment is acceptable and what suddenly deserves cancellation. Then I respond to Jelly Roll taking more shots at President Donald Trump during his late-night appearances and explain why I think his newfound political comedy deserves scrutiny.

Hughley’s list of alleged racial injustices and break down the stories behind the claims, including the Texas Roadhouse controversy, Black women leaving the workforce, the Nolan Wells case, alleged lynchings in Mississippi, and the prolonged power outages in Gary, Indiana. I explain why I believe too many people are looking for racism instead of demanding facts, accountability, and solutions inside our own communities. Then I react to Austin Metcalf’s father, Jeff Metcalf, speaking out about the disturbing information revealed about both Austin and Karmelo Anthony. Plus, Charles Barkley, Stephen A. Smith, and Stephen Jackson weigh in on whether biological men should be allowed to compete in the WNBA, and why the league needs to finally draw a clear line

Then we get into the outrage over Target’s controversial Halloween costume and the backlash that forced the company to pull it. Plus, I react to the bizarre story involving the 49ers owner and an alleged prostitution sting, and explain why success, money, and status don’t excuse making reckless decisions when nobody is watching.

I also react to Master P getting backlash for telling Black Americans to stop living in the past and focus on building wealth, ownership, and opportunity. Then we get into former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom being removed from a WNBA game after showing up in a shirt defining a woman as an “adult human female,” and his argument that the league’s own rules leave the door open for him to play.

Karmelo Anthony IS FINISHED After NEW Evidence RELEASED | Officer Tatum Show EP 364
In this episode, I break down major developments in the Karmelo Anthony case after previously unseen information about both Anthony and Austin Metcalf was revealed. We look at allegations involving fights, threats, weapons, bullying, and racist behavior on both sides, and I explain why none of Austin’s past means he deserved to die. I also explain why Anthony’s own alleged history could become a major problem if his effort to secure a new trial succeeds. I also reveal the intent-to-sue letter sent to Al Sharpton over statements involving Warren Hudson, Jax Pitalo, and Morgan Seymour in the Nolan Wells case. Then I respond to Elliott Connie after he accused me of lying about being arrested as a child. Instead of arguing about it, I call my mother, brother, and father live on the show and let them tell you exactly what happened.

Karmelo Anthony IS DOOMED After NEW TEXTS Reveal MOTIVE | Officer Tatum Show EP 363
In this episode, I break down a major new development in the Karmelo Anthony case after prosecutors revealed evidence that never made it before the jury, including alleged text messages about stabbing someone and evidence they say showed an obsession with knives, guns, and fighting. I explain why Anthony’s push for a new trial could potentially open the door to evidence that may be even more damaging to his defense. Then we return to the Nolan Wells case after Nolan’s parents appeared on Jamal Bryant’s podcast. I react to the continued racial framing surrounding Nolan’s death, the family’s explanation for bringing in attorney Ben Crump, the harassment and threats surrounding the case, and new questions about the family’s GoFundMe and their decision not to return to work since Nolan’s death. I also explain why I believe the focus should remain on finding the truth about what happened to Nolan without destroying the lives of young people when the evidence does not support accusing them of his death

NEW TEXTS RELEASED In Nolan Wells Case EXPOSES THE TRUTH | Officer Tatum Show EP 362
In this episode, I react to the latest development in the Karmelo Anthony case after the judge who presided over his murder trial was recused ahead of Anthony’s push for a new trial. I break down the reaction from Anthony’s supporters and explain why I believe the outrage surrounding this case reflects a much bigger problem with selective justice and racial politics. Then we turn to the Nolan Wells case with newly revealed text messages between Nolan’s mother, Christine Wells, and Warren Hudson from the first days of the search. I also sit down with Josh Gill, incident commander for the United Cajun Navy, who was involved in the search from the beginning.

MAJOR UPDATE In Nolan Wells Investigation | Officer Tatum Show EP 361
In this episode, I break down the growing claims that Black Americans are being “lynched” across the country and explain why serious accusations of racially motivated murder require actual evidence. We look at the death of Tasia Fortune in Jackson, Mississippi, the Trey Reed case, and the activists using these tragedies to push a racial narrative before investigations are complete. I also give the latest on the Nolan Wells case, including defamation attorney Edward Paltzik’s blistering letters to Nancy Grace and Don Lemon over their coverage of Warren, Jax, and Morgan. Then I respond to Tezlyn Figaro and Elliott Connie’s latest discussion about me and make the offer clear: if Nolan’s family believes I have something wrong, I’m willing to speak with them publicly or privately and correct anything they can show me is inaccurate.

Black People ATTACK Stephen A Smith and Officer Tatum | Officer Tatum Show EP 360
In this episode, I break down what is happening in America’s education system and why so many students are reaching middle school, high school, and even college without basic reading, writing, and math skills. We look at viral teachers sounding the alarm, the growing role of technology in classrooms, and the controversy surrounding former Cambridge professor Jason Arday and the allegations about his academic work and personal claims.

In this episode, I break down major developments in the Nolan Wells case, including Ben Crump’s team finally addressing why Nolan’s phone has not been turned over to investigators.

The young men respond to the controversial “enhanced” audio, explain why they believe the claims surrounding it make no sense, and address the misinformation they say has followed them from the beginning.

We also hear about the support they’ve received, their legal defense fund, and why they’re asking people to look at the evidence before deciding what happened.
