Pat explains how Nugent and Dear Leader Trump are very much alike, and not in flattering ways. Pat then talks about how nearly half of Detroit's apartment complexes are without air conditioning, and Michigan's high unemployment rate. He concludes by underlining the big time victory of Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani in the NYC mayoral race, and how it's yet another example of how progressive economic populism is not only popular, but it WINS elections! 20:29-42:23: Derrell Slaughter of NRDC-Michigan Interview Derrell Slaughter is the Michigan Policy Director for Climate & Energy at the Natural Resources Defense Council. Slaughter co-wrote a blog post on the NRDC site called, "Trump Administration's DOE Is Forcing Coal Plants To Remain Open. Michigan Is The First Target." Pat and Derrell discuss how Trump's Energy Dept. is forcing an old Consumer's Energy plant in Ottawa County to remain open even though the plant was scheduled to shut-down last month. Slaughter explains why this unprecedented move will cost Michiganders both economically and environmentally. 42:24-48:04: Last Call on Unhinged Democrats The "Last Call" this week spotlights those Democrats who view progressive Democrats, like Zohran Mamdani, as more of an enemy than they view MAGA Republicans as the real opposition to the working class, to liberty, and to democracy.  48:05-50:30: Ending Please, subscribe to the podcast, download each episode, and give it a good review if you can! leftoflansing@gmail.com Left of Lansing is now on YouTube as well! leftoflansing.com NOTES: "Trump Administration's DOE Is Forcing Coal Plants to Stay Open.

Send us a textBorn and raised in St. George as a fifth-generation resident, Bryan Thiriot brings a unique blend of deep local roots and extensive governmental experience to his City Council campaign. Having served as director of the Five County Association of Governments and executive director of the Dixie Metropolitan Planning Organization, Theriot has spent years collaborating with communities throughout Southern Utah on budgets, planning, and infrastructure development.His fifteen years working with U.S. Senators in Washington D.C., Salt Lake City, and St. George have equipped him with valuable skills for navigating federal bureaucracies – expertise he believes distinguishes him from other candidates. "I feel like I'm the strongest candidate when it comes to federal agencies," Theriot explains, highlighting his accomplishments in securing resources and permissions for local projects.Transportation stands at the forefront of Thiriot's platform, with strong advocacy for the Northern Corridor to alleviate east-west traffic congestion on St. George Boulevard. While acknowledging the city's transportation needs are growing with its population, he approaches development with measured caution. Living in his childhood family home on Main Street, Theriot values downtown's character and expresses concern about excessive high-rise developments changing the area's historic feel.Water management represents another cornerstone of Thiriot's expertise. With personal experience filing for water rights and negotiating with federal land managers, he brings practical knowledge to one of the desert community's most pressing concerns. He points to untapped water resources on the county's west side that could help secure St. George's water future amid continued growth.Looking toward future economic development, Theriot proposes exploring international airport status for St. George Regional Airport, potentially attracting direct international flights and diversifying the local economy. Throughout his campaign, he emphasizes continuing the legacy of "Vision Dixie" – creating opportunities for future generations while preserving what makes St. George special.Ready to bring his record of accomplishment to City Council, Thiriot summarizes his candidacy simply: "When I say I do something, I do it, I commit it and I accomplish it." Will you support this vision for St. George's future? Primary election day is August 12th.

KALISPELL CITY COUNCIL CANDIDATE WARD 1 WES WALKER TRT: 31:48

Cecily DeAngelo read an article in the New York Times about wildlife crossings, and ever since, she has been laser-focused on developing wildlife crossings in the Roaring Fork Valley of Colorado. She grew up there and has witnessed first hand the carnage along Pitkin County's roadways... dead bears, deer, elk, rabbits, and more and more moose. These vehicle wildlife accidents decimate wildlife in the Roaring Fork Valley and are responsible for 30% of vehicle accidents there.  What Cecily learned is that the Roaring Fork Valley, which runs from Aspen to Glenwood Springs, Colorado, is bisected in terms of wildlife and biodiversity. Highway 82, which runs parallel to the Roaring Fork River, has caused a dangerous divide for wildlife. To address this she formed Roaring Fork Safe Passages, a citizen-led coalition that raises awareness about the opportunity to build wildlife crossings, either overpasses or underpasses. Supported initially by the Aspen Skiing Company, she and her colleagues developed a "Prioritization Study" that ranks sections of the highway for safe crossings. Now, working with the communities in the Valley, and hopefully with the Colorado Department of Transportation, she is working raising funds to build overpasses in key areas, funneling wildlife in specific areas thanks to well-designed fencing for safe crossings.The podcast also features Cecily's determination to get involved in politics. Inspired by the former president of New Zealand, Jacinda Ardern, who gave birth when in office, Cecily is passionate about urging young citizens -- reproductive age and underrepresented -- to take action and to get involved with school boards, commissions, and councils. In 2024, she ran for Snowmass Village City Council and won, expanding its female majority... working on key issues such as community planning, affordable housing, and sustainability. Despite the challenging juggling act of raising a family, managing Roaring Fork Safe Passages, and serving her community on City Council, Cecily is excited and fulfilled by positively influencing the region where she lives, and encourages others to follow suit.

Break 3: STORY 6: Gwinnett files traffic charges against Latino reporter in ICE custody El Salvador-born journalist Mario Guevara, who was arrested while covering a "No Kings" protest in DeKalb County, now faces traffic-related charges in Gwinnett County. The charges, including reckless driving and running a red light, stem from incidents in May and June, unrelated to his June 14 arrest. Guevara, known for live-streaming ICE arrests in metro Atlanta, was detained by ICE after being granted bond. His attorneys question the timing of the charges, emphasizing his innocence. Guevara, in the U.S. on a valid work permit, is currently held at ICE’s Folkston Detention Facility while pursuing permanent residency. STORY 7: Georgia Senate Republicans vote on new leadership amid big shuffle The Georgia Senate is undergoing a major leadership shakeup as Republicans elected Sen. Jason Anavitarte, R-Dallas, as the new majority leader and nominated Sen. Larry Walker III, R-Perry, as president pro tempore. Anavitarte, serving since 2021, steps into the third-highest Senate role, leaving his caucus chair position vacant. Walker’s promotion, pending a full Senate vote in January, would also create a leadership gap. These changes follow Lt. Gov. Burt Jones’ anticipated gubernatorial run, triggering leadership shifts as Sen. Steve Gooch and Sen. John F. Kennedy vie for Jones’ position. Four of six top Republican Senate roles will change next session.

In a time of escalating antisemitic hate across the U.S. and around the world, New York City takes a bold step: Mayor Eric Adams formally adopts the IHRA (International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance) definition of antisemitism and urges the City Council to codify it into law.

From the frontlines of campus chaos to city halls and synagogues, Dr. Phil and Mayor Adams bring together victims, advocates, and leaders to ask: Is America finally ready to define—and fight—antisemitism?
