Podcasts about attorney generals

Remember Joseph DiGenova? He was a Trump defender from the first administration brought back to help with the investigation into the investigators that DOJ is running down in south Florida. Well, he's gone again. He seems to have had some disputes with the Attorney General about the conduct of that investigation — “if you want indictments where there's no evidence, you have an ethical problem,” he told the New York Post. Plus: Donald Trump continues to be stymied in his efforts to rename the Kennedy Center after himself — his latest threat is that he'll tear down the building if he doesn't get his way. Former immigration judge Chloe Dillon sues over her firing, Mahmoud Khalil sues,Columbia University, injunctions against ICE and legal victories for people who were fired for saying not-nice things about Charlie Kirk, a lawsuit against Lufthansa, whose employee outed a gay couple in Saudi Arabia — does that create a claim in the United States, where they were flying to? And finally: Kash Patel and bizarrely relaxed hiring metrics at the FBI and a right-wing media figure who resolved defamation litigation with an apology for lying about Patel's girlfriend.

This past week, our friends at Farm Aid celebrated the 40th anniversary of the United Farmer and Rancher Congress, held in St. Louis. The country was in the middle of one of the worst farm crises we'd ever seen, and solutions from America's leaders were not plentiful, nor particularly helpful. As Hightower put it in his 1984 speech to the DNC:Since 1981 when this guy took office, it's been hog-feedin' time at the Reagan White House. The hogs that just got feeding at the trough in Washington DC today, they have climbed up in the trough and they're wallowing in it up in there. If you're an international banker who made bad loans, no problem, Ronny Reagan will give you a multibillion-dollar bailout. If you're Ed Meese and you get caught in an embarrassing personal financial situation, no problem. Ronny Reagan will make you Attorney General. And if you're any right-wing Latin American dictator with a pair of sunglasses, this administration will give you enough money to burn a wet mule.But if you're just an old dirt farmer out there, needing a little bit of extra loan because your prices don't even cover expenses, this bunch slams the door of your own government right in your own face.After the success of the first Farm Aid concert in 1985, Willie Nelson and his crew didn't stop there— they kept organizing. In the spirit of the four farmers in Lampasas, Texas, getting together in the early 1870s to figure out how they were going to fight the banks and policies that were screwing them, Farm Aid brought together nearly 2,000 farmers and ranchers in 1986 to fight that same fight once again. Michael Foley, Farm Aid's current Cultural Impact Director, wrote up a wonderful article exploring the groundbreaking work that was accomplished:But organizers did not spend months pulling together the United Farmer and Rancher Congress only to issue forceful condemnations of the powerful. They came with solutions, the most fundamental of which was to stand together and transcend all of their differences. The Congress was incredibly diverse, made up of white, black, Latino and Tribal producers and coming from nearly all 50 states, producing every type of farm product imaginable. When Wayne Cryts of the American Agriculture Movement (AAM) spoke at the first plenary session and appealed for unity, he took off his AAM cap and put on a white UFRC trucker cap. The symbolism of every delegate in the auditorium following suit and taking off their own hats and putting on the UFRC caps may seem trivial, but it signaled a desire to overcome presumed differences and solidarity in spite of everything.No one spoke more pointedly, or with more authority, about surmounting difference than Jesse Jackson. “Unless we come out of isolation…unless we build a movement of farmers and consumers and workers and other allies, these monopolies will without mercy drive us beneath the soil.” He called on everyone in the room to hold hands and to hold their hands up high and to “turn to each other, not on each other” as the powers that be would want. That unity, he argued, is the basis for real political power.Make sure you check out the whole piece—and the next time someone tells you they think all those farmers out there are “conservative,” show them this work. ✊Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.

On our radar this week… The battlelines are drawn in Michigan and across the nation over the tandem futures of data centers and artificial intelligence. Unlike the decades-long warnings over climate change threatening the future of the planet, the lighting speed of A-I development has catapulted the tech issue to the top tier of political issues. It seems like ancient history, but in reality it's only been a week since Donald Trump demanded fealty from the MAGA masses at his self-praising two-day “Trump is a Loser” rally in Dallas. A coalition of prominent Jewish political leaders is forming behind the candidacy of Abdul El-Sayed for the Senate. The biggest names on the list include the scion of the Levin political dynasty, former Congressman Sandy Levin, and former U.S. Senator Al Franken. Mike Rogers dodged the first scheduled U.S. Senate debate, leaving Dr. El-Sayed facing off against an empty lectern … and responding to a grilling from a TV journalist, Fox-Detroit reporter Roop Raj, accused by Rogers of being a Democratic sympathizer. A new study shows widespread confidence in our elections among Michigan voters. Three-quarters of those polled say they are certain the November election will be fair, secure and accurate. Other findings in the poll: More than 85% of voters trust their local elections, believing local elections are fair and accurate. Two-thirds of Michigan voters support states having power over elections, as Article 1, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution stipulates.  A majority of Michigan voters are not concerned about noncitizens voting, reflecting a 16-point swing from 2025, when more voters worried about noncitizen voting. Nearly 6 in 10 voters oppose the state surrendering private voter data to the federal government, which is suing Michigan for personal information, even though a federal judge has blocked the Trump Administration. More than 61% of voters support the U.S. Department of Justice sending monitors to Michigan to observe the November elections. The bottom line in the fall campaign is the cost of living, and that's getting even worse for Republicans. The average price of gas in Michigan has soared to $4.75/gallon with many areas seeing $5/gallon gas. That's an increase of $1.56 from a year ago. Diesel fuel – which impacts the shipping of just about everything – is a staggering $6.32/gallon. That works out to around $1/mile to fuel a typical freight-hauling tractor trailer. A typical big rig holds 300 gallons – meaning up to $1,900 for a fill-up. U.S. consumers have collectively spent about $107 billion more on gasoline and diesel during the Iran conflict and disruptions from the Russia-Ukraine conflict than they would have had there been no war, according to estimates by the Climate Solutions Lab at Brown University. That averages to more than $500 million a day since the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran. Donald Trump's in a fiscal funk after the Fed raises interest rates. He's threatening to cut off trade with the world if the Fed doesn't reverse itself, even after declaring economic war on our neighbors in Canada. He's also fuming over a court decision preventing his stooges on the Kennedy Center Board from adding his name to the building. In his latest tantrum he's threatening to tear down the building if he can't put his name on the monument to John Kennedy, with a news photographer catching Trump reviewing a plan to demolish the DC landmark. The forever war in Iran, record deficits, inflation going up, a trade war with Canada, record-smashing corruption, a pre-occupation with building monuments to Donald Trump: the GOP message – it's all Joe Biden's fault, at least, in the eyes of J.D. Vance. That seems to be the definition of political desperation. And in the firehose of corruption flowing out of DC, we don't even have time to talk about Putin's buddy paying for Don Junior's wedding, Dad turning DC's public golf courses into country clubs, the entire family cashing out their crypto company after making billions at the expense of the MAGA flock, the continued Epstein files coverup, the Attorney General crossing the line into outright political campaigning, Bobby Kennedy Junior's pledge to champion the cause of anti-vaxxers, the House Speaker Mike Johnson shutting down the do-nothing House to avoid a Pete Hegseth impeachment vote, the hundreds of millions to train pilots to fly Trump's so-called free Qatar airplane, the continuing expensive saga of the Reflecting Pool or the White House power struggle between Melania and Natalie. Since convening in January 2025, the 119th Congress has passed 108 major laws — and only 36 this year. Up to this point on the calendar, no Congress has passed fewer laws in modern American political history — except for the last Congress, which was also led by Johnson> © Clay Jones – https://claytoonz.substack.com ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Subscribe to our YouTube channel ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Republic, If You Can Keep It is supported by

The mail-in ballot saga has come to an end — for now. Mary and Andrew detail yesterday's Supreme Court decision rejecting President Trump's restrictions on mail-in voting, which they call “good news” in the fight against election interference. “Knock it off,” Andrew says to paraphrase the Supreme Court: “we are not engaging in this.” Then, the co-hosts delve into two more examples of what they consider attempts by government bodies to meddle in the midterms, the first being Missouri's failed redistricting effort as the Supreme Court rejects the state's new Trump-backed congressional district map. The second: the Solicitor General's emergency motion to stay an injunction on the Trump administration's SAVE database, urging the court to restore the immigration verification system that was blocked by a lower court. Plus, the prosecutor who led the “grand conspiracy” investigation into Trump's political enemies earlier this year has left the probe. And former CIA Director John Brennan preemptively goes to court ahead of the government's likely prosecution against him.

The news of Texas covered today includes:Our Lone Star story of the day: After investigations of the larger raw numbers of data mismatches, the Texas Secretary of State identified 117 cases of likely non-citizen illegal voting and has referred such to the Office of Attorney General. Meanwhile, A.G. Paxton's office has announced the arrest of 7 for illegal voting that it has already been working on.Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.Lubbock Co. payroll scandal: Demonstrating that I've gotten it right from the beginning, Mr. Meurer releases a statement claiming Bowtie Bully Curtis Parrish encouraged his getting paid as a county commissioner even when he was not serving as such. Think about what Parrish was effectively telling Mr. Meurer. He was saying that Meurer is entitled to full-time pay for the many months, could be years, Meurer was NOT serving as a county commissioner, due to court order, if he were to prevail eventually in the legal case. This exposes Bowtie Bully' extreme lack of ethical standards.Once again, someone too lazy to simply do a quick search and check, says I reported something “false and deserves correction and apology.” Sorry there Listener, but it is you who got it wrong.

On today's show we're talking about one of the quietest ways a deal gets killed. Not a rate move, not a cost overrun. A city council vote you assumed would never happen.Let's start with the constitutional plumbing, because it explains everything that follows.In the United States, municipalities are creatures of the state. They have no inherent sovereignty. Their zoning power, their taxing power, their permitting authority, all of it is delegated from above. Most states follow some version of Dillon's Rule, which says a city can do only what the state has expressly authorized it to do.Now, if you stop reading there, you would conclude something very reasonable and very wrong. You would conclude that when a state or the federal government creates a housing incentive, it flows downhill automatically. The state says multifamily is permitted near transit, so multifamily is permitted near transit. The state creates a property tax exemption for workforce housing, so the exemption exists.That is not how it works. And I see investors underwrite as though it is.Here's the thing. The fact that a city gets its power from the state doesn't mean the city is obedient. Let me give you real examples.Massachusetts passed the MBTA Communities Act. It requires 177 municipalities in the transit service area to zone at least one district for multifamily as of right. This is a mandate. Not a suggestion. The town of Milton hired a consultant, filed an action plan, and adopted the overlay district in December of 2023. Two months later the voters overturned it by referendum. The Attorney General sued. The Supreme Judicial Court upheld the law. And five years after passage, in January of 2026, the AG had to sue another nine towns for continued noncompliance.So even a hard mandate with an enforcement mechanism took five years and multiple lawsuits. If your pro forma assumed as-of-right entitlement in one of those towns in year one, you were carrying a multi-year hole.Florida' Live Local Act created a seventy-five percent property tax exemption for units between 80%-120% of AMI. Local taxing authorities were allowed to opt out, and thirty-four of the forty-nine eligible counties did exactly that. Their reasoning was straightforward. The state gets the policy win, the county writes the cheque. Because the exemption generally applies only after completion, lenders were discounting it at underwriting. So even where the incentive survived, it didn't reliably show up in the capital stack.Colorado is my favourite case, because it's the trap that looks like a win. Proposition 123 sent about three hundred and fifty million dollars a year at affordable housing. More than two hundred jurisdictions opted in, covering over ninety percent of the state's population. Looks like near-universal adoption. But the piece that actually matters to a developer is the ninety-day fast-track approval commitment, and as of early 2025 roughly five jurisdictions had implemented one. Opting in and building the machinery were two different votes, years apart.-------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

Twenty-five years after 9/11, is the United States better prepared to prevent another terrorist attack?This week's podcast is an edited rebroadcast of the Center's panel held to examine that question, discussing the role immigration and border security played in the attacks, the major policy changes that followed, and the national-security challenges that remain.Former U.S. Senator and Attorney General Jeff Sessions introduced the panel and offered brief remarks. As chairman of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest at the time of the attacks, Sessions was deeply involved in congressional oversight of immigration and national security in the years following 9/11.The panel at examined how the attacks reshaped U.S. immigration policy, including the creation of the Department of Homeland Security, changes to visa screening and information sharing, and increased attention to border security. The panel also revisited the recommendations of the 9/11 Commission: What was implemented? What was left undone? In addition, a European security expert discussed how 9/11 affected policy there as well.HostMark Krikorian is the Executive Director of the Center for Immigration Studies.GuestsGeneral Jeff Sessions, Former U.S. Senator and Attorney General.Andrew R.

The updates just keep coming. On Sunday, the Trump administration returned to the Supreme Court to ask for more control over mail-in ballots, coming two days after U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani's order blocking the government from implementing parts of the new Postal Service rule. Mary and Andrew analyze the case's implications as states begin sending out their ballots ahead of the midterms before turning to another update: a preliminary injunction issued in the CASA Inc. v. Trump case on birthright citizenship. Then, the co-hosts turn to the ICE agent involved in the shooting of a Venezuelan man during Trump's “Operation Metro Surge” in Minneapolis, who is now being federally charged with making false statements to the FBI about the event. They call this “good news” — an instance of the federal government choosing to intervene in an “outrageous” case instead of leaving it up to the states' discretion. Plus, the Supreme Court allows the construction of Trump's White House ballroom to continue.A Note to Listeners: As the 2026 midterm elections heat up, MS NOW is headed to the Lone Star State.

The special session is over. It was called to address a growing crisis with kratom, and lawmakers gave Gov. Kelly Armstrong most of what he wanted. They passed a total ban for synthetic kratom, and some big new regulations for the natural variety. But Sen. Janne Myrdal, who, like Armstrong, wanted a total ban on all kratom products, says the regulatory part of it may be unworkable. It will essentially require Attorney General Drew Wrigley's office to spin up a new regulatory and testing program for a product that is produced and packaged outside of North Dakota's borders, and usually outside of our national borders. "I don't know how the attorney general is going to do it," she said on this episode of Plain Talk. "I don't know if it's possible." Myrdal said she'll be expecting another run at totally banning kratom products, at the very least until federal authorities put in place some rules and oversight for the products, during the upcoming regular session. Also on this episode, Sen. Sean Cleary expressed some dismay with the Legislature's bailout of an embattled military museum which has been stalled on the capitol grounds. "My overall frustration with the project is now we're looking at approximately $80 million of public dollars for this project," he said. "$80 million is a lot of money, especially at a time when agencies are being asked—some of the Department of Health and Human Services to submit 10% reductions to the upcoming budget proposal. There's been talk about flat education funding." "When I think of our work in the legislature, I really like to focus our public spending on things that are serving the public," he continued. Cleary said he felt like the museum became a "bait and switch." The Legislature probably wouldn't have authorized an $80 million project if they knew the taxpayers would be footing the bill for all of it, but now they're in the position of either keeping the money flowing, or paying a big bill to close it down.

In this episode of I Catch Killers, Gary Jubelin sits down with Kerry Tucker, former prisoner turned prison reform advocate to track her extraordinary 20-year redemption. Inside, Kerry became known as the "jail lawyer." She kept daily diaries, completed a Master of Arts through Swinburne University (the first Australian university graduation ever held inside a prison), wrote a children's book for incarcerated mothers that's still in circulation today, and began writing parole letters for other women, going from almost no women getting parole to 38 at her lowest count. She spent her final 6 months working in a law firm in Werribee, left prison on a Friday and was lecturing at university on the Monday, went on to complete a PhD, and has spent two decades advocating for prison reform, education and fraud awareness. That work was formally recognised in November 2022, when the Magistrates' Court of Victoria spent and removed her criminal and prison record with the endorsement of the Victorian Chief Commissioner of Police, the Attorney General of Victoria, the Assistant Commissioner of Corrections and the Chief Magistrate.

Coach, Tony Barnhart, and Dennis Dodd opened the show tackling college football's off-field chaos, with Matthews noting that in 58 seasons around SEC football, he's never seen an opening week defined more by courtrooms than kickoffs. The panel broke down the standoff between LSU and the SEC office over roster eligibility, which saw LSU back down after pushback from conference leadership, Tennessee chancellor Donde Plowman, and Georgia's Attorney General. Dennis Dodd tied the episode to Texas Tech's earlier legal retreat, framing it as part of a bigger question in the NIL era: what actually separates a college athlete from a professional. From there, the hosts shifted to on-field storylines, recapping Colorado's road win over Georgia Tech behind JuJu Lewis and UMass's upset of Rutgers, while noting how the transfer portal has reshaped rosters nationwide — with roughly half of SEC teams starting transfer quarterbacks, including standouts Darian Mensah at Miami and Mateer at Oklahoma. They also previewed a high-stakes Monday clash between No. 19 SMU and Florida State, with heavy pressure on Mike Norvell. The show then flipped format as Tony Barnhart quizzed Coach Matthews on Week 1's top storylines. Matthews pegged Louisville–Ole Miss in Nashville as the weekend's most competitive game over higher-profile matchups like Clemson–LSU and Baylor–Auburn, and confirmed Vanderbilt will start Blake Boro-Wits against Austin Peay while freshman Jared Curtis works into a larger role by midseason. Among first-year coaches, he singled out Florida's Jon Sumrall as facing the most pressure given fan expectations, and called Arch Manning primed for a big year under Steve Sarkisian at Texas. On Florida State, Matthews said Mike Norvell's buyout buys him some patience, but a win over SMU is critical to slow the program's decline since its 13-0 season. The episode closed with Matthews and Barnhart discussing Nick Saban's new role fronting ad campaigns for the Save College Sports Act, which pushes for congressional oversight of NIL and the transfer portal, and reflecting on Saban's dominant 17-year Alabama tenure and seamless move into a leading media voice for the sport.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Barring intervention from the U.S. Supreme Court, Missouri voters will cast ballots in November on a referendum which will ask if they accept or reject the congressional map approved by the GOP-controlled Legislature in September 2025. In a 7-0 decision, the state Supreme Court reversed the Cole County Circuit Court's decision that the state Constitution's referendum power does not apply to the Legislature's congressional redistricting. Democrats praise the ruling and say the court followed the law, but Republicans blast it. Attorney General Catherine Hanaway calls the ruling a disaster for Missouri voters. She joined Randy Tobler and Jennifer Bukowsky live this morning on "Wake Up Missouri":

Keith Ellison is the Attorney General of Minnesota. He joins Chad live on the WCCO porch. Chad opens by asking Keith about two accomplishments that he's most proud of in the last couple years and one thing where he needs to do more. Chad asks him about how the perpetrator of the mass shooting earlier this week in Minneapolis was able to maintain possession of a gun. They then switch gears to AG Ellison's ongoing campaign to be re-elected and what he's contributing to address & prosecute the fraud issue in the state. In their second segment, Chad and AG Ellison discuss the ongoing custody battle for the ICE officer who lied about a shooting in North Minneapolis earlier this year. AG Ellison speaks to working with federal partners in this case and during Operation Metro Surge. Chad asks about President Trump's war on mail-in ballots.

The Department of Justice is in crisis. The bedrock principle of non-interference, once held sacrosanct by administrations of both parties, has been jettisoned. The Attorney General has directed the Department to represent the President and his agenda above all else. Thousands of attorneys and professionals have left or been forced out as leadership pursues personal and political grudges at the President's open direction. What reforms can be instituted to restore the department's independence? What can be done by Congress or outside organizations to bring oversight to the abuses taking place within the department?

A lot can happen in a week. Mary and Andrew begin with the most recent movement in the court battle against President Trump's three-tiered mail-in voting executive order. Last week, Judge Talwani issued a fresh injunction blocking one provision of the EO centered around the Postal Service, two days after the Supreme Court lifted a block from the same judge, saying the provisions in the EO could not be applied to November's midterms. The co-hosts affirm that this fight is far from over before moving to two more updates from cases they talked about last week: a motion brought by Mary's ICAP team alongside others challenging the 2026 birthright citizenship EO and a decision on Minnesota's effort to extradite an ICE agent from Texas, after he was charged with shooting Julio Sosa-Celis through the door of a Minnesota home. Next, a win for Anthropic after a federal judge ruled against the Pentagon, saying it acted illegally in labeling the AI company a “supply chain risk.” Plus: a moving video from an active-duty Marine Colonel pleading for an Afghan national to return to the US after he was deported- despite his asylum status after his family helped the US military in Afghanistan.

According to Mary and Andrew, recent moves by President Trump's administration have been following a pattern: “If at first you don't succeed, try try again.” The co-hosts begin by breaking down the flurry of news surrounding mail voting, starting with Monday afternoon's decision by the Supreme Court to allow President Trump's executive order curtailing mail voting to proceed, though not issuing a decision on the merits of the order. They discuss that decision in conjunction with the Postal Service's announcement on Friday for a final rule that would comply with the executive order, a move that Andrew calls a proxy for the government to “have the Postal Service act in a way that has a clearly disproportionate impact on certain voters.” Then, a conversation about birthright citizenship after a motion was filed yesterday rejecting Trump's executive orders that attempt to limit the legal principle. Plus, an analysis of the Second and Ninth Circuit Court's rulings disqualifying U.S. Attorneys that were improperly appointed by Trump and a quick nod to Minnesota suing the governor of Texas for not extraditing an ICE agent accused of shooting a man in Minneapolis.  Tune in next week as we switch to Wednesday morning releases — and video editions of Main Justice available on YouTube.

Today on The Gist, guest host Scott introduces a 2022 conversation between Mike Pesca and former US Senator Al Franken, who discusses his return to stand-up comedy and looks back at his tenure in the Senate. Franken examines how his background as a comedy writer and performer informed his sharp, forensic approach to committee hearings, including his memorable question during Jeff Sessions' confirmation that ultimately led to the Attorney General's recusal, and his viral exchange with Education Secretary nominee Betsy DeVos over growth versus proficiency. He and Mike also discuss the cynical comedic worldview of Lindsey Graham, the breakdown of cross-aisle Senate comity, and Franken's proposed reforms to fix the modern filibuster.
