Greg Belfrage talks to listeners about AI and Campaign Ads. He asks the questions are AI deepfakes a serious threat to fair elections? Should we ban deep fakes close to election day? Should every AI ad carry a big disclaimer. Most of the responses were that they had concerns with AI and deepfake election ads, but they did not think it was possible to be enforced.

SDPB reporters recap primary election night.

Why was Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach's name repeated four times in a ad from an outside group? Why did a Democratic candidate for Kansas governor begin her TV ad in a grocery store, and why did her primary opponent film his from his kitchen? Can a pastor translate his lifetime of public speaking experience to voters as he runs for U.S. Senate? Bob Beatty, a political science professor at Washburn University, gives a play-by-play of Kansas politicians' choices in their early campaign ads. He answers these questions and more with senior reporter Tim Carpenter in an interview woven with clips from a dozen campaign ads running ahead of the 2026 primary election. New episodes of the Kansas Reflector Podcast drop on Mondays. Kansas Reflector staff interview elected officials, politicians, researchers, experts and everyday Kansans who are in the thick of Kansas politics and current events.

Today on The Amber May Show, Amber is joined by Sam Anthony, owner of YourNews.com, for a powerful conversation about media, politics, justice, and the stories shaping America. We start in Arizona, where the Rattlers crushed the Tucson Sugar Skulls 66-14 in a Mother's Day rivalry blowout. The Rattlers dominated from the start, with a sharp defense, key turnovers, and a standout performance from kicker Matthew Cook. Then we turn to Los Angeles, where a union-backed ad attacking Spencer Pratt may have done the exact opposite of what it intended. The ad framed Pratt as tough on homelessness, supportive of more police officers, and willing to challenge public employee unions. Critics say it may have become one of the best pro-Pratt ads yet. We also break down the latest battle in Virginia, where Democrats are reportedly looking at a court-packing scheme after losing a redistricting fight. The proposal would lower the mandatory judicial retirement age from 73 to 54, forcing out sitting justices and giving the Democrat-controlled legislature the chance to reshape the state Supreme Court. Plus, we discuss the July trial date set for former FBI Director James Comey in the Trump threat prosecution. Prosecutors allege Comey communicated a threat through a social media post involving the numbers “86 47,” while Comey denies threatening the president. From sports to political power plays, from failed campaign attacks to high-profile legal battles, today's show asks a bigger question: who controls the story, and who is finally pushing back?

The conversation also examines warning signs for Republicans ahead of November and the political stakes of expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies, including new comments from Senator Raphael Warnock.

While the the Democratic Party continues to focus on reproductive rights.....how is all of this factoring into a very tight race in Georgia?

In the latest episode of Daily Detroit, we talk about Michigan's pivotal role in the upcoming elections. As a swing state, Michigan is constantly under the political microscope, making it a hotbed for campaign activities, ads, and visits from key political figures.  Steve Friess, a seasoned freelance journalist for the New York Times, Newsweek, and the Ann Arbor Observer, provides invaluable insights into this dynamic political landscape. Steve kicks off the discussion by emphasizing Michigan's unique position as a swing state. He points out that residents here experience an inundation of political ads and campaign visits that people in more politically stable states might never see. This front-row seat to the election circus underscores the importance of every single vote in Michigan, making it a battleground state that can tip the scales in either direction. One of the highlights of this episode is we preview the interview between Kamala Harris and Oprah Winfrey. Scheduled for Thursday, September 16, 2024, this conversation is part of Oprah's Unite for America program and will be live-streamed across multiple platforms, including YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and Twitch. Steve and Jer discuss the potential impact of this interview, especially in humanizing Kamala Harris and filling in the story gaps that many voters feel exist. The conversation also touches on the flood of political ads that Michiganders are subjected to. Some of these ads, targeting specific communities within Michigan, aim to stir up trouble and sway votes in subtle yet insidious ways. Polling and its impact on voter perception is another critical topic in this episode. Steve explains how polls, despite their frequent inaccuracies and wide margins of error, have become a crutch for both the media and the public. They create narratives that can influence voter behavior, even though they often change and are not always reliable.  Jer also shares an interesting anecdote about the presence of political lawn signs and how they can create a false sense of majority opinion. He recounts a listener's experience in a community that voted predominantly for Biden but was visually dominated by Trump signs. This cognitive dissonance highlights the emotional aspect of political campaigning and the loudest voices often getting the most attention.

Both presidential nominees are trying to capitalize on their debate performances with new ads. US Attorney General Merrick Garland slammed political attacks against the Justice Department in a fiery speech. New York City's police commissioner resigns amid a federal investigation. Boeing faces a crucial union vote tonight that could send some workers walking off the job. And, mortgage rates fell to their lowest level this week since February 2023.
