Podcasts about Caucus

California Assembly Member Matt Haney represents the 17th district that encompasses much of the eastern side of San Francisco. He serves as Chair of the Committee on Housing and Community Development, the Legislative Renters' Caucus, and the Committee on Downtown Recovery.Recently, Assemblymember Haney joined KALW Executive Producer Ben Trefny at our live event space in Downtown San Francisco, for a wide-ranging discussion about the future. The event was part of KALW's ongoing Bay Agenda series, that connects residents directly with the leaders and changemakers shaping the Bay Area's future.In this excerpt from their conversation we hear Haney respond to a lightning round of Ben's questions — from housing and small business recovery to public safety, neighborhood identity, and the role of civic media in shaping local change.

-The show dives into voter ID debates, where Rob marvels that proving you're a citizen to vote is apparently controversial—even though you need an ID for basically everything else in life. -Rob gleefully plays clips from street interviews showing everyday Americans calmly explaining voter ID makes sense while Democrats try very hard to explain why it's racist. -The hour closes with the “Crazy Cat Lady of the Day” segment, where a California woman begs Iran not to attack her state because they didn't vote for Trump—proving once again that political commentary on the internet can be wilder than any late-night comedy monologue.

Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux walks back his decision to leave politics, but decides to join the other team. The NDP gets closer to choosing its next leader. And Dominic LeBlanc goes on a trade mission to Mexico. Rosemary Barton hosts Chantal Hébert, Andrew Coyne and Althia Raj.

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.

Peripheral Artery Disease impacts 10M+ Americans — and nearly 70% don't know they have it. Congress has relaunched the PAD Caucus to address preventable amputations and gaps in screening and care. On The Heart of Innovation, Dr. John Phillips and I debrief with Dr. Bob Tahara, Dr. Andrew Klein, Dr. David Alper, patient advocate Dawn-Marie Hernandez, and Harlem Globetrotter Larry "Shorty" Coleman, who lost a leg to PAD. PAD is the leading cause of preventable limb loss and a major predictor of heart attack and stroke. Early detection saves limbs — and lives. #PeripheralArteryDisease #PAD #AmputationPrevention #HealthPolicy #HeartHealth

Wednesday 4pm Hour: last night was caucus night in MN. Who won the GOP straw poll for governor and what does that mean for the rest of the field? Jason talks with Amy (Koch) Frederiksen. Then Fox 9's Paul Blume joins the show. He was in court yesterday when an overworked federal attorney had a very human moment.

Scott Korzenowski opens the hour talking about how much he loved the new Netflix documentary about the 1980 Miracle On Ice hockey team.

Tens of thousands of Minnesota voters are expected to participate in precinct caucuses Tuesday night. They will take straw polls to give their preferences in the race for Minnesota governor and weigh in on issues they think are important.There is no U.S. Senate straw ballot. But Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan — who's running for senate — says she expects the federal immigration enforcement operation will draw turnout. The Department of Homeland Security says it is rolling out new oversight measures for federal immigration agents in Minneapolis. In a statement posted to social media platform X, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem announced that body cameras are being deployed immediately to every officer in the field in Minneapolis.Meanwhile, a court order requiring federal investigators to preserve evidence in Alex Pretti's fatal shooting has been lifted. The judge says there is no indication that authorities have failed to properly maintain evidence. The FBI is now taking the investigative lead. A separate state probe is ongoing.The Minnesota Court of appeals has ruled that the state cannot criminalize a tribal member for possessing cannabis on tribal land.

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.

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.

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.

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.
