Hello! And welcome to another edition of Inside The Newsroom. It’s been a while, and for that I apologize. First up was a two-week trip to Israel, which was immediately followed by a fever that limited me to my bed for a week. But I’m better now (hooray!) and it’s time for another juicy podcast newsletter. Today’s guest is Ryan Grim, D.C. Bureau Chief for The Intercept and contributor to The Young Turks. Ryan has covered the Democratic Party and left-wing politics for the past decade and is one of the foremost journalists on the topic. Make sure you check out his new book, We’ve Got People, which details the history of the progressive movement against the establishment. Enjoy!Pour One Out For Jesse JacksonIn his book, Ryan uses Jesse Jackson's 1988 presidential campaign as the start of the progressive movement as we know it. It’s remembered as ‘controversial’ because it caused major divisions within the party, similar to those that Bernie Sanders opened in 2016. Jackson ended up losing the nomination to Michael Dukakis, as the party’s establishment sided with the racist view that Jackson, a black man, could not become president. Ironically, we're still having the same debate more than 30 years later, only Barack Obama broke the racial barrier and now it’s whether a ‘socialist’ candidate can win. The 2020 race is in full swing and it's amazing to see how many candidates have paid tribute to Jackson. Sanders, Warren, Beto O'Rourke, Amy Klobuchar, Pete Buttigieg and Bill de Blasio have all associated themselves with Jackson. Meanwhile Jackson recently criticised Joe Biden for his position on voluntary busing — transporting students to different school districts to rectify racial segregation.Alex Thompson, PoliticoObama’s Progressive LegacyWhen Barack Obama first rose to prominence during the 2008 presidential campaign, he was seen by some as the darling of the progressive movement, with his calls for change flirting with populism. He'll go down as the most popular two-term Democratic president since FDR, but a lot has changed since then.Fast forward to the 2020 race and Obama is a target for many Democrat candidates. While we haven't seen the vitriol we saw from the Republicans in 2016, criticism of Obama's deportation policy and Obamacare have become more and more frequent, and are being turned against his vice president Joe Biden.T.A. Frank, Vanity FairLike Me, PleaseBefore you read on, please like this edition of Inside The Newsroom by clicking the ❤️ below the title. That way I’ll appear in clever algorithms and get more attention, because I need attention. Thanks.AOC Pulls Off The UnthinkableAt the beginning of June 2018, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was barely known outside of New York City. Today she has millions of followers on social media and is one of the faces of modern progressivism. Below are a couple of videos of the moment she defeated the incumbent Democratic representative from District 14 for New York, with Ryan reporting somewhere in the background. Oh, if you haven’t seen the full documentary behind AOC’s win, you should have. Watch it. Schumer and Pelosi. BFFE 💕 The Democratic leadership has been in the works for more than three decades. Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer first met in the late 1980’s, at one of their so-called “dinner gang” gatherings in D.C., and have been pretty inseparable ever since. That’s not to say the two haven’t had their differences over the years, but to understand the divisions within the party in 2019, it’s important to know how we got to where we are in the first place. Alex Brown, The AtlanticTom PerezTom Perez walked into a complete s**t show as DNC chairman in 2017, months after Debbie Wasserman-Schultz was forced to shamefully resign the post for conspiring against Bernie Sanders in favor of Hillary Clinton. Things have gone either tits up or just fine since then, depending on who you ask. A lot of the work Perez has done has been to heal the trust lost by Wasserman-Schulz, though that hasn’t stopped critics from piling on over the DNC’s dismal fundraising efforts compared to their Republican counterparts. Michael Scherer, Washington PostThe Democratic Party Is Actually Three Parties. What?Perhaps the Democrats’ biggest challenge heading into the 2020 election will be uniting its different factions. Hillary Clinton and the DNC weren’t able to do so in 2016, in large part due to Donna Brazile’s revelations that the DNC rigged the Democratic primary in favor of Clinton. Once nominated, Clinton failed to reel in enough Bernie Sanders supporters and, well, we all know what happened from there.This time around, whoever wins the Democratic nomination will have to heal the damage carried over from 2016. And they’ll have their work cut out: Whoever wins will have the task of uniting not two, but three separate divisions within the Democratic Party, otherwise it could spell four more years for the Donald Trump. Thomas B. Edsall, the New York TimesMSNBC vs CNN vs FoxWe all know there are distinct differences between the three largest cable news outlets, but this amazing visualization by Charlie Smart of The Pudding analyzes thousands of data points. Unfortunately, whoever wins the Democratic nomination might just end up being who the cable outlets want to win. Charlie Smart, The PuddingRelated Podcasts#34 — Dave Weigel (Washington Post)#33 — Lauren Gambino (Guardian US)#29 — Adam Kelsey (ABC Politics)Next Up…… is (hopefully) Eylon Levy, an English-born journalist who now works for i24NEWS in Israel. During my recent trip to the holy land, Eylon was gracious enough to give it to us (my tour group) straight, explaining the difficulties Israel faces right now. It wasn’t all one sided, and I hope to have part of the conversation again for you guys.

As with the summer podcast schedule, the TigerTalk podcast delivers news, events, and interviews every two weeks instead of weekly during the summer months of June and July. In the first part of the three-part podcast, Survivor Season 29 finalist Missy Payne joins the podcast to talk about her recent trip to the Northeast campus as part of the Career Development Academy's Health and Fitness camp and to give some insight into being on the hit television reality show. Payne talks about how she incorporates physical fitness into her daily life and how that translated over to the CDA's Health and Fitness camp with nearly 50 participants. Throughout the two days that Payne was on campus with the camp, teen-agers were exposed to a variety of fitness and health activities including being separated into different teams and tasked with physical, mental and emotional challenges just like on the hit reality television show. Payne also gives insight into her time on the show with her daughter and what the show has meant for her since she was a contestant on the show. In the middle portion of the podcast, Shane Scott stops in for a chat about not just what is happening in his criminal justice classroom but about his goals for the Northeast Faculty Association as he takes over the reins of the organization for the 2019-2020 academic year. Scott talks about what it takes to be a law enforcement officer and how his class and Northeast prepare students for their future occupation by not just training but discussion and the use of technology in the classroom. Scott steps into the realm of the Faculty Association president and discusses his goals for the organization - which includes inviting more staff members to join - and how the association can be a guiding force on campus. In the final portion of the three-part podcast, Charlie Smart chats about the SmartStart program and how it prepares students not just for education but for an occupation as well. Smart discusses some of the keys to success in the program and talks about the Adult Basic Education program and how it is changing lives. Toward the end, Smart relays a story about an old man fishing and how it translates to the mission that Northeast has to its students. Between the interviews, Will Kollmeyer gives a rundown on the camps that will be happening at the college throughout the summer, traffic updates and everything that will be happening on the Northeast campus in the next two weeks. Along with changing the format of the podcast, for the ones that have a YouTube accounts, we have also started a YouTube account, http://bit.ly/NEMCCTigerTalkYouTube , and we will be putting all our podcasts on our YouTube channel as time allows. Future guests on the podcast, do not fret; this is an audio-only YouTube account with the video produced by the Headliner App. As always, if you have any podcast ideas or want to be a guest on the podcast, drop me or Will a line and we can get you set up….but with the new system of only three guests per show, every two weeks…slots are limited…so get your requests in early.

Shortly before President Trump took office, his lawyer promised Trump would forgo any profits his hotels made from foreign governments. There was no similar pledge for money earned from federal government employees, state officials, or anybody else who might be seeking to curry favor. And a lot of that money is coming from you, U.S. taxpayers. In this episode of Trump, Inc. we’re going deep on Trump’s hotel rooms and the people who are paying to stay in them. We will talk to three people tracking the flow of taxpayer money from government employees and elected officials to the Trump Organization, many through hotel stays, many booked by individual government workers. ProPublica has just released an interactive detailing at least $16.1 million spent at Trump Organization-managed and branded hotels, golf courses and restaurants from his campaign, Republican organizations, and government agencies since Trump announced his candidacy. The vast majority of the money — at least $13.5 million — was spent by Trump’s presidential campaign. We also found at least $400,000 has been spent by federal and state agencies — a figure that includes only a few agencies as many have resisted disclosing that information. Among the examples we know of: In March 2017, for example, the Secret Service paid $27,724.32 at the Trump golf course and resort in Doonbeg, Ireland. The stay was to “support E. Trump Visit.” The Trump Organization and the White House did not respond to our requests for comment. Reporting by Derek Kravitz and Derek Willis, ProPublica and Paul Cronan, Mark Schifferli and Charlie Smart, Fathom Information Design.  

Host Will Kollmeyer welcomes listeners to the twenty-fourth edition of the TigerTalk podcast with Northeast political science/history instructor and president of the NEMCC Faculty Association Will Bowlin, who talks about the upcoming presentation by U.S. Representative Trent Kelly on Monday, April 23, the role of the Faculty Association and how Northeast’s iPad experience has transformed the classroom for faculty. Northeast transition specialist and SMART start coordinator Charlie Smart stops by with one of his success stories — Darren Sparks of Iuka — as Smart talks about the upcoming High School Equivalency (HSE) graduation on Monday, May 14, the two FREE short-term career pathways programs (a business pathway and a medical pathway program) and Sparks addresses what made him take the alternate route via the HSE after suffering a sports injury in high school. Sparks has become a success story after completing his HSE, he has enrolled full-time at Northeast and wants to be an art teacher. In one of our largest interviews in TigerTalk history, eight members from the Division of Health Sciences join us in the form of Division Head of Health Sciences Patti Cooper, program director for the Associate Degree Nursing Camille Beals, registered dental hygienist and faculty member for dental hygiene technology program Julie Davidson, Medical Assisting program director Vickie Hopkins, clinical coordinator of the Medical Laboratory Technology program Rosalyn Singleton, program director of the Practical Nursing Education program Dr. Paula Stennett, program director for the Radiologic Technology program Jennifer Davis and director of the Respiratory Care Technology program Beverly Prince all join us to talk about their programs. As always, Kenny Paul Geno gives us his weekly spotlight of what is coming up at Northeast in this twenty-third edition of the TigerTalk podcast.
