Nick Anderson/Raw Story  On this week's show... The Donald Trump Hunger Games begin with the administration doing as little as possible to comply with a court-ordered continuation of SNAP Benefits. For millions of Americans, it means going hungry … just not quite as hungry as Trump had wanted. The Trump shutdown is officially the longest in U.S. history, surpassing the record of 35 days set during the first Trump term. With Trump's administration failing on the economy, foreign policy, healthcare and basic competence in the background, Democrats sweep the handful of off-year elections including flipping Virginia's governor's office and holding on in New Jersey. We'll do a post-mortem on the election, and the impact on Michigan politics, with former Obama Communications Director Jennifer Palmieri. Two updates on Michigan's congressional races: a familiar name enters the GOP primary to replace John James, and new polling shows Lansing-area Congressman Tom Barrett trailing two relatively unknown Democrats. A former top aide to former state House Speaker Lee Chatfield pleads guilty to assorted corruption charges ... and agrees to testify against his former boss. The latest political shocker nationally: Marjorie Taylor Greene is talking about running for President. Of the United States. Yes, that MTG! And the Subway Sandwich Terrorism trial has ended with an acquittal. Sean Dunn was charged with misdemeanor assault after hitting a federal agent with a “sub-style sandwich.” Apparently ICE agents consider mustard a weapon of mass destruction...but the prosecution's case, it turns out, was toast. Dunn reportedly relished the decision. There were, of course, a lot of significant elections on Tuesday. Joining the post-election analysis is guest commentator Jennifer Palmieri. Her credentials include three years as Barack Obama's Communications Director and then Director of Communications for the Hillary Clinton 2016 presidential campaign. Before her service at the White House, she was the National Press Secretary for the 2004 John Edwards presidential campaign and for the Democratic National Committee in 2002, after a brief time at the advocacy group Americans for Gun Safety. She served in the Clinton Administration as Special Assistant to White House Chief of Staff Leon Panetta, deputy director of Scheduling and Advance, and finally as a Deputy White House Press Secretary. More recently she co-hosted the political documentary series "The Circus" on Showtime with John Heilman, Alex Wagner and Mark McKinnon. drewsheneman.substack.com

It's News Day Tuesday on the Majority Report On today's program: Voters reject republicans across the country in a crushing blue wave. Zohran Mamdani will be the next mayor of New York City, winning in a landslide with over 50% of the vote. We watch a few snippets of his victory speech where he pays credits to the immigrants and marginalized people who are so often forgotten in NYC politics. Usamah Andrabi, Communications Director and spokesperson for Justice Democrats joins us to discuss Mamdani's victory and how to build on the momentum. Support Justice Democrat candidates here and check out their piece in Zeteo from today. Adam Green, Co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee joins the program to further the conversation on the importance of seizing the momentum from last night's elections into material benefits for voters. In the Fun Half: We watch a few more moments from Zohran Mamdani's victory speech where he highlights the importance of immigrants to NYC and even deploys a Mario Cuomo quote in a final dagger to Andrew. AOC takes aim at the democrats who refused to get behind Mamdani and still refuse to plan for the future. Seems like she may be considering primarying Chuck Schumer. Curtis Sliwa calls out the billionaires and insiders who tried to deny his right as the real GOP nominee to run for mayor. Stavros Halkias collabs with AOC to discuss why the Mamdani's policies are so attractive to people. Donald Trump reacts to last night's blue wave by calling for Thune to terminate the filibuster. Hasan Piker confronts Olivia Reingold at the Zohran victory party about her smear campaign on him and her horrible work denying the famine in Gaza for the Free Press. All that and a whole lot more.

On this edition of The Mark White Show, I'm talking with Jamie Harding, Communications Director for AARP Alabama, to discuss newly released data revealing that 28% of adults in Alabama provide unpaid care for a loved one. November is National Family Caregivers Month, and this conversation shines a light on the emotional, physical, and financial challenges caregivers face, as well as the growing demand for support as our population ages. Jamie shares insights from AARP's latest caregiving report, the toll that unpaid care takes on families, and how AARP is working to secure policies and resources that ease the burden. Listeners will also learn about free tools and guides available through AARP's Caregiving Resource Center to help those currently caring for loved ones or preparing for that role in the future.

Part II of our crossover episode with The Bang-Bang Podcast! Van and Lyle are joined by Sam Ratner, Policy Director at Win Without War, and Andy Facini, Communications Director at the Council on Strategic Risks, to discuss WarGames, John Badham's Cold-War techno-thriller that accidentally foresaw the age of algorithmic warfare. What begins as a teenage prank—Matthew Broderick's David Lightman breaking into what he thinks is a computer game—quickly becomes a meditation on automation, deterrence, and human judgment in systems built to annihilate. Together, the group unpacks how WarGames' “WOPR” supercomputer prefigures today's AI decision-making, where machines learn to “take men out of the loop.” They trace how the film's closing revelation (“The only winning move is not to play”) echoes across four decades of nuclear strategy and modern debates over escalation, autonomy, and control. The conversation ranges from NORAD and machine learning to the moral limits of deterrence, the psychology of Cold-War adolescence, and the comic absurdity of believing one can win an unwinnable game. Like Dr. Strangelove before it, WarGames shows us a military machine that runs on fear, faith, and code, and a civilization learning to live with its own programmed self-destruction.Subscribe to the Un-Diplomatic Newsletter: https://www.un-diplomatic.comSubscribe to The Bang-Bang Podcast: https://www.bangbangpod.com/Further ReadingSam's professional pageAndy's professional page“Strategy & Conscience (The Book Review We Need),” by VanTelehack, a retro internet simulator recommended by AndyThe Imagineers of War: The Untold Story of DARPA, by Sharon WeinbergerThe Closed World: Computers and the Politics of Discourse in Cold War America, by Paul N.

Del Bigtree's new documentary “An Inconvenient Study” alleges Henry Ford Health suppressed a 2017-2020 research study suggesting vaccinated children develop more chronic diseases. The Detroit-based heath group issued a cease-and-desist against the film, claiming the vaccine study wasn't published because it failed their scientific standards, not due to a cover-up. But Del Bigtree – a multi-decade children's health advocate and RFK advisor – disagrees, and premiered the film on October 12 anyway. Del Bigtree is an Emmy-winning producer, journalist, and filmmaker. He is the Executive Producer of “An Inconvenient Study,” CEO of the Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN), and host of The HighWire.

Episode Summary: In this episode of "90 Miles from Needles: The Desert Protection Podcast," host Chris Clarke takes listeners into the complex worlds of wildlife policy and desert preservation. The episode features Mandy Culbertson, Communications Director at Wildlife for All, discussing the implications of state and federal-level wildlife governance on biodiversity and the environment, particularly within the Southwest's desert landscapes. She explains how Wildlife for All is working to reform state wildlife governance by including more democratic processes and scientific approaches to benefit ecosystems and wildlife populations. Mandy provides an insightful analysis of the current state of wildlife management in the Southwest and beyond, highlighting the disparity in effectiveness among different states. With a critical eye on states like Arizona and Montana, Chris and Mandy discuss pressing issues such as the militarization of the US-Mexico border and its detrimental effects on wildlife. Mandy elaborates on how public pressure can influence policy decisions, citing recent victories and ongoing struggles in wildlife advocacy. The conversation also highlights the crippling impact of the recent federal government shutdown on wildlife protection efforts, especially for endangered species like the Mexican gray wolf. Key Takeaways: Wildlife for All's Mission: The organization focuses on transforming state wildlife governance to protect biodiversity and strengthen ecosystems with an ethical and democratic approach. Southwestern Biodiversity: The American Southwest is a biodiversity hotspot facing unique challenges such as habitat fragmentation, climate change, and urban development pressures. State Wildlife Management: States like Arizona exhibit problematic wildlife management practices, often putting political ideology and special interests over scientific and ethical considerations. Impact of Border Militarization: Increased infrastructure and enforcement along the US-Mexico border significantly disrupt wildlife corridors, affecting numerous species. Federal and State Dynamics: The federal government shutdown exacerbates challenges in managing and protecting wildlife. Notable Quotes: "Most folks don't realize that state agencies, state wildlife agencies, are responsible for the vast majority of wildlife management in this country." — Mandy Culbertson "Protecting biodiversity and restoring healthy ecosystems requires a more ethical and democratic and just approach to wildlife policy." — Mandy Culbertson "The war on wildlife isn't separate from the crisis of democracy that we're seeing right now.

The oil and gas industry is clinging to the narrative that we're entering a "Golden Age of Gas" — especially when it comes to LNG. Riding this assumption, companies have been pouring in investments at an aggressive pace, with plans to double LNG export capacity by the end of the decade.US LNG FIDs are breaking all records in 2025, with 55 mtpa of liquefaction capacity sanctioned since the start of the year. This is the second-best year for global LNG FIDs (Final Investment Decision), second only to 2019, when over 70 mtpa of FIDs .The latest example is the 14bnUSD FID for Sempra's Port Arthur 2 in Texas in September 2025, mostly financed by large funds Blackstone, KKR, Apollo, Goldman Sachs.Currently, LNG exports make up about 16% of U.S. gas consumption. Projections suggest that figure could rise to 30% by 2030. But two major uncertainties loom large:Demand: Will international markets absorb this flood of LNG? China's pivot toward Russian and Central Asian pipelines, Qatar's own ramp-up in production, and Europe's push to reduce reliance on expensive imported gas all cast doubt on future demand.Supply: Will the U.S. have enough cheap gas to meet this export surge — especially as the AI boom is expected to drive up domestic gas use, while the federal government places increasing restrictions on renewable energy development?To unpack these critical questions, we've invited Justin Mikulka to explore what he calls the “LNG Mirage.” He'll walk us through hard-hitting facts and trends that investors are currently overlooking. At events like CERAWeek and Gastech, the fossil fuel industry often seems to talk only to itself — echoing reassurances while ignoring warning signs. But winter is coming.About the Speaker:Justin Mikulka has spent the past decade investigating and reporting on the energy sector, with a particular focus on the shifting economics between fossil fuels and emerging clean technologies. He publishes regular insights at Powering the Planet and currently serves as the Communications Director at Oilfield Witness, a U.S.-based nonprofit that uses optical gas imaging to document methane emissions from the oil and gas industry.Reports in reference: Global Gas Flaring Tracker Report from World Bank https://thedocs.worldbank.org/en/doc/bd2432bbb0e514986f382f61b14b2608-0400072025/original/Global-Gas-Flaring-Tracker-Report-July-2025.pdf    We thank Abloco Energy for supporting the show. www.abloco.energy----Epilog post recording:"Venture Global shares plunged more than 20% on Friday following its loss in an arbitration case against BP, which accused the US liquefied natural gas producer of breaching contracts to profit from higher prices at the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.The case was one of several pursued by Venture Global's customers alleging it failed to deliver shipments under long-term supply contracts and instead sold them for higher prices on the spot market when gas prices soared in early 2022.BP's victory is a major blow to one of the largest US LNG exporters, which now faces a separate hearing to determine damages in the case. The UK oil group is seeking damages in excess of $1bn, as well as interest, costs and attorneys' fees."

Anthony Scaramucci joins the Beast's Joanna Coles for a no-holds-barred look inside Trump's turbulent second term. Trump's former first-term Communications Director and longtime Trump confidant-turned-critic calls Trump “the wicked witch of the West Wing” and predicts the moment he finally melts. Scaramucci revisits his infamous 11 days in the White House, missing his son's birth, and the cost of blind loyalty. He tears into the GOP's pretenders to Trump's throne from J.D. Vance's obsequiousness to Marco Rubio's shape-shifting. Coles keeps the chaos sharp, pulling out Scaramucci's rawest insights on power, ego, and redemption. And it all builds to one cutting question: if Trump's the wicked witch of the West Wing, who's bold enough to throw the water? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Larry Behrens, energy expert and Communications Director for Power The Future, joins Steve to break down President Trump's move to end the so-called “Green New Scam”, a sweeping reversal of Biden-era green energy mandates and subsidies. Behrens explains what this decision really means for American workers, the economy, and energy independence, and why Democrats are falsely crying “politics” over a policy shift that could finally bring accountability to billions in taxpayer-funded green projects. They dive into how the radical climate agenda has enriched political insiders, burdened working families, and weakened America's power grid, and why Trump's rollback might just be the reset our energy sector needs.
