As the world grapples with the fallout of the Supreme Court ruling that Trump's tariffs are ILLEGAL, we face a critical question: Will Trump respect the rule of law, or will he continue to defy the courts? The stakes are particularly high for Canada, where the economic implications are profound.Adding fuel to the fire, Premier Danielle Smith has introduced a 9-point referendum that raises serious concerns about her government's direction, particularly with its troubling scapegoating of newcomers to Alberta. This move signals not only political chaos within her United Conservative Party but also a misguided attempt to rally support that could endanger our diverse and thriving communities.In the Conservative Party, the chaos continues as Pierre Poilievre loses yet another MP to Mark Carney, with whispers of more departures on the horizon. This instability within the party raises alarms about its future and relevance, especially as Jamil Jivani faces criticism for his divisive pro-American rhetoric during this contentious trade war. Moreover, the global landscape is shifting dramatically with the arrest of former Prince Andrew in connection with Jeffrey Epstein, a situation that could unveil even more troubling revelations. We cannot ignore the potential threats that loom over international relations, like the possibility of an attack on Iran by the Trump administration.Join Clinton Desveaux and host Laura Babcock for an in-depth analysis of this tumultuous news day impacting Canada and global democracy.

Henry talks with Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus Chairman Rob Doar about the Alex Pretti shooting, what bothers him the most, the issue with the DOJ narrative, what he didn't hear and more.

I'm joined by Josh Martin as we process the killing of Alex Pretti by federal agents, during what feels like an occupation or hostage crisis for Minneapolis. It's the third shooting and the second killing in less than three weeks. And even though state and local government feels powerless to do much of anything right now, we talk about all the major races up for election in 2026; the importance of showing up to caucus; and why some of our neighbors may not feel safe enough to participate.Watch: https://youtube.com/wedgeliveJoin the conversation: https://bsky.app/profile/wedge.liveSupport the show: https://patreon.com/wedgeliveWedge LIVE theme song by Anthony Kasper x LaFontsee

Rob Doar, attorney for the Gun Owners Caucus, joins Chad to discuss his analysis of the Alex Pretti shooting video showing that Pretti violated no laws before he was fatally shot. Doar also has direct criticism of federal officials and others who have shown great hypocrisy in calling Pretti the problem by lawfully exercising his 2nd Amendment rights while protesting.

In this episode, Dean Horswell chats with Rachel Harris about her recent research on the IDF archive and the early formation of Israeli film culture. Their conversation moves beyond the finished article to the process itself: what it means to actually undertake archival research, to work inside military and state archives, and to piece together a history from fragmentary, uneven, and sometimes resistant sources. They discuss the intellectual and methodological stakes of reading institutional archives critically, the challenges of access and interpretation, and how archival discoveries can reshape established narratives about cinema, nation-building, and cultural production.

Labour's ranks are meeting in West Auckland today where they are expected to outline their priorities heading into this year's election. Party leader Chris Hipkins spoke to Melissa Chan-Green.

Emergency Management Minister Mark Mitchell is skipping today's National Party caucus retreat in Christchurch to deal with the unfolding weather situation in the upper North Island. Watches and warnings are in place for several parts of the country. Heavy rain is now battering Northland and the Coromandel Peninsula causing flooding in many places and completely cutting off Whitianga from both the north and the south. Mark Mitchell told Mike Hosking he'll be based in Auckland, so he can travel to where he needs to go. He says he and the Prime Minister have agreed it's best if he stays there, as most of the severe weather is expected to hit the North Island's eastern seaboard.

There are so many perspectives on this situation that occurred today and one of the many factors in all of this was if the use of a weapon was necessary and an investigation will dictate this when that time comes but we talked to Rob Doar attorney and member of the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus on the sequence of events that led to shots being fired in the ICE incident and some of the legal proceedings in the early stages!

Rep. Allen Reavis, an Atchison Republican, Rep. Lon Pishny, a Garden City Republican, and Nathan Eberline, executive director of the League of Kansas Municipalities, talk about their plans for the newly formed Local Government Caucus.

This is a re-broadcast of Class Unity Transmissions Ep 19: Clyde W. Barrow | Marxist State Theory Today In this episode, we are joined by political theorist Clyde W. Barrow to revisit the classic debates in Marxist state theory and to consider their renewed relevance in the present conjuncture. Barrow was a guest speaker in the CU “State Theory” course that ran earlier this year, and we thought we'd invite him back for a more detailed discussion—and to explore how these debates might help guide the left through its current impasse. The conversation begins with the Poulantzas–Miliband debate of the 1960s and 1970s, situating it against the crisis of postwar Fordist–Keynesian capitalism and the broader effort by Marxists to move beyond instrumental or reductionist accounts of the capitalist state. Barrow explains why the debate remains foundational, what is often misunderstood about Miliband's position, and why Marxist politics cannot afford to treat the state as a secondary or merely epiphenomenal problem. From there, the discussion turns to globalization and contemporary political economy, drawing on Barrow's book Toward a Critical Theory of States: The Poulantzas–Miliband Debate after Globalization. Rejecting the idea that globalization has rendered states powerless, Barrow emphasizes the central role played by states—particularly the U.S. state—in constructing and managing global capitalism. We then examine how Marxist state theory helps illuminate recent developments in trade policy under the Trump administration, including the structural constraints that capitalist states face when they pursue policies that run counter to dominant class interests, and what this may signal about the future of the global trade regime. The latter part of the episode moves a bit more “into the weeds,” engaging debates over Lenin, the dictatorship of the proletariat, and the long-standing question of what a socialist theory of government might look like. Barrow reflects on the limits of romanticized models such as the Paris Commune, the enduring tensions between democracy and state power in socialist strategy, and the usefulness of Poulantzas's concept of authoritarian statism for understanding contemporary right-wing governments. The conversation concludes with a discussion of what Marxist state theory can tell us about the challenges facing democratic socialist governance today, using the case of New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani to explore the structural and political limits confronting left projects within capitalist states. Biographical note: In recent months, Barrow has also been a prominent public critic of managerial governance and political interference in higher education and has faced disciplinary action related to his speech and public commentary. While this episode focuses on theory rather than biography, his situation has made him an important contemporary reference point in ongoing debates over academic freedom and freedom of expression in U.S. universities. Additional background: Clyde W. Barrow earned his Ph.D. in political science from the University of California, Los Angeles. He is currently Professor of Political Science at The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, and previously taught for many years at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. Barrow is widely known for his contributions to Marxist state theory, political sociology, and the political economy of higher education. His major books include Universities and the Capitalist State: Corporate Liberalism and the Reconstruction of American Higher Education, 1894–1928; Toward a Critical Theory of States: The Poulantzas–Miliband Debate after Globalization; The Dangerous Class: The Concept of the Lumpenproletariat; and A Critique of Political Science: A History of the Caucus for a New Political Science (forthcoming), along with numerous influential articles on state power, class relations, and academic governance.

What you need to remember is that all this was happening in the mid-to-late nineties. This was pre-internet, pre-email. The bunch of us were communicating via faxes, Fed Ex, and phone calls, neither of which were very secure. And when editor Bob Budiansky discovered that DC had somehow intercepted a series of vital X-Men communiques down the hall, he insisted we develop a multilayered code to talk with one another. That's when Tom went off and created the unbreakable Clone Code. Some of us still speak it today. 

Spider-Man Clone Caucus pt 1 Many have written of what went on in those meetings, of the hushed plans formulated behind those closed conference room doors. Speculation, all of it. A patchwork legend sewn from snippets of overheard conversations, misinterpreted mutterings, and muted tirades heard through thick skyscraper walls. But never from the writers who were actually there, doing the work, bleeding the blood, crying the tears. Until now.    * There is a 'ding' sound on Terry's channel. Have no idea why. Maybe he was baking potatoes? Also, Howard Mackie is the one who sounds like RFK Jr. 

Two Conservative MPs defected to the Liberals and a third announced his resignation in the months leading up to Pierre Poilievre's leadership review in January.

Minnesota Gun Owners Law Center head Rob Doar joins Cam to talk about the ongoing efforts by more than a dozen cities in the state to adopt local gun bans in violation of the state's firearm preemption law; efforts that are now largely on hold after the Law Center and MN Gun Owners Caucus sued St. Paul over its new ordinance.

Josh Hammer opens the show by tearing into the media circus surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein files, exposing how the story has become more about political theater than truth. He explains why endless speculation and conspiracy chasing are distractions from real accountability — and why the obsession with Epstein says more about the media and public appetite for outrage than it does about justice.Josh also dives into President Trump’s latest comments on tariff rollbacks, breaking down which moves make sense and which could backfire on American workers. He then calls out the weekend’s media hit piece targeting him and other conservative hosts, pulling no punches on the website's smear tactics. Finally, Josh weighs in on Trump’s split with Marjorie Taylor Greene — and why his follow-up comments regarding Tucker Carlson lost sight of the bigger issue we are facing.

John Darkow - PoliticalCartoons.com On this week's show... The federal government shutdown is over for now, but the debate on healthcare rages on. Michigan Democrats, led by Senators Peters and Slotkin, have harsh words for the 7 Democrats who voted with Republicans to end the 41-day shutdown without any guaranteed continuation of healthcare insurance subsidies. The Republican bill includes a potential onetime $500,000 or more bonus for 8 Senators investigated as part of the January 6 insurrection (Lindsey Graham says he'll sue for millions!) The White House calls the newly released Epstein emails part of a Democratic Party hoax – that there's nothing there – but Trump is doing all he can to keep the files secret, and redirect the story to investigations of retirees like Bill Clinton and Larry Summers. The U.S. House will vote on a full release of all the files in early December. Donald Trump basically admits widespread law-breaking by his reelection team, issuing federal pardons to 71 of his minions – even though they haven't been federally charged. And the pardons don't save folks like Giuliani and Meadows from possible state criminal charges. The looming increases in health insurance premiums has convinced four companies to pull out of the Michigan market.  Former Congressman Mike Rogers thought he had a free ride to the GOP nomination for U.S. Senator, but there's a new candidate who could make the next 9 months a lot more difficult for him. Former Michigan Republican Party co-chair Bernadette Smith starts with more than a little support from the party's MAGA base.  Rogers is now saying the 2024 election was stolen from him but providing no proof.  And there's the story of two presidential grandkids extending family traditions: JFK's grandson, Jack Schlossberg, extends the family tradition by running for Congress in New York … in a district that includes Trump Tower. Donald Trump's granddaughter, Kai, is extending a different family tradition: she's playing golf, making her LPGA debut as an invited golfer in the LPGA Annika Tournament. Sadly, after the 2nd round she was dead last (18 over par) and missed the cut
