It's Wednesday and topics tackled today include...Texas school shooting in Uvalde leaves 21 dead including 19 children and 2 adults. The shooter also shot his grandmother and survived and the shooter was killed by police. Should media outlets name mass shooters?; Meanwhile, Beto O'Rourke, a Democratic candidate for Texas Governor, interrupted Gov. Greg Abbott's news conference telling Abbott that the shooting was totally predictable and that he was doing nothing.; President Biden calls on Congress once again to pass gun reform legislation saying gun reforms passed would have a significant impact on gun violence this after the school shooting in Uvalde and Jack takes your calls on the days News and Hot topics.

Georgia's Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger spoke to a small group of supporters Tuesday night explaining how he pulled off his surprise victory for re-election over a Donald Trump backed opponent. It was a truly extraordinary comeback for Raffensperger, barley a year ago his chances were viewed as hopeless. After refusing Trump's entreaties to find just enough votes to flip Georgia's electoral tally, Raffensperger was denounced by the ex President as an enemy of the people. And he got death threats from Trump's supporters. But Raffensperger stood his ground, and as he put it, refused to buckle under the pressure. Even while, at the same time, he quietly and methodically courted conservative voters with talk about protecting election integrity in the future. The result, combined with Brian Kemp's landslide victory in the governor's race, was a stinging rebuke to Trump. What does all this say about Trump's standing in the Republican Party and how to assess the high-stakes battles in the general election? Not just in Raffensperger's race but in the big contest for governor, Kemp vs Stacy Abrams, and US Senate, Warnock vs Hershel Walker. We are joined by two savvy Georgia political consultants, Republican strategist Brian Robinson and Democratic strategist Chris Huttman.GUESTS:Brian Robinson, (@LordTinsdale), President of Robinson RepublicChris Huttman, Research Director at Canal Partners MediaHOSTS:Michael Isikoff (@Isikoff), Chief Investigative Correspondent, Yahoo NewsDaniel Klaidman (@dklaidman), Editor in Chief, Yahoo NewsVictoria Bassetti (@VBass), fellow, Brennan Center for Justice (contributing co-host)RESOURCES:Isikoff's story on Raffensperger's victory over Trump-backed opponent - Here.Follow us on Twitter: @SkullduggeryPodListen and subscribe to "Skullduggery" on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.Email us with feedback, questions or tips: SkullduggeryPod@yahoo.com.

Sam and Emma host Harvey Kaye, professor emeritus of democracy at the University of Wisconsin, Green Bay, and Alan Minsky, executive director of the Progressive Democrats of America, to discuss their recent mission statement published in Common Dreams, the 21st Century Economic Bill of Rights. However, Emma and Sam first dive into yesterday's mass shooting at an elementary school in Texas, walking through the mass boom in gun sales over the past two years, the common link between mass shooters and violence against women, and the ahistorical neoliberal view that gun control is a revolutionary concept in the US. Then, they're joined by Professor Harvey Kaye and executive director Alan Minsky as they dive into the history of economic bills of rights, first proposed in the US by FDR as a centerpiece to his 1944 State of the Union, built on his economic declaration of rights and his concept of the four freedoms (speech, worship, freedom from want, freedom from fear), and looking to support the rights people wanted to see enumerated after World War II, seeing healthcare and jobs, particularly, as central to defeating the constraints of need. These concepts were then picked up by the democratic party under Truman, and even framed as the party platform in 1960 ahead of JFK's candidacy. Next, Kaye and Minsky walk through the 10 rights present in the 21st Century Declaration, including universal healthcare, the right to education and the internet, affordable and accessible housing, a clean environment, support at birth and in retirement, a fair justice system, sound financial services, and a right to recreation and participation in democratic life, all of which, as they walk through, are tied to current legislation supported by Bernie Sanders, the squad, and other progressives. Next, they dive into the rhetorical element of this fight, perhaps the one in which we have the longest to go, first looking at the relationship between liberty and governing powers, before diving into what a productive future for a progressive left in the US would look like, both in terms of changing the conversation and building on the CPC's existing role in the Democratic Party. And in the Fun Half: Emma and Sam talk with John from San Antonio as he dives into the more hopeful elements of the state of our politics, from unionization to Jessica Cisneros' continued hope, before they address Nancy Pelosi's robocall in support of an anti-choice anti-gun-control candidate, the massive Georgia turnout, and how we could see a positive drive for Democratic turnout in the midterms. David from Grand Junction discusses corporate America's refusal to hire amid their mindless drive for efficiency, teacher Lauren calls in on rising COVID rates in schools, and Isaac has an extensive conversation on Saudi Arabia's conflict in Yemen. In returning to the shooting, Sam and Emma discuss Beto O'Rourke performing maybe his first genuinely emotional political stunt, Newsmax pitching more cops in school once again, despite the myriad cops that were at this school who just decided to get themselves out of danger and leave it to the teachers, and Matt Walsh hails State Farm while Crowder goes full fash, plus, your calls and IMs!

A look at local Democratic unity calls and challenges to several winners of the May Democratic primaries.

Is the Davos Conference a meeting place for the mega rich who are trying to create a One World Government ? Ann Coulter Interview: Ann told Mark she knew that the democrats would turn this into a political circus. Democrats are always trying to get rid of the 2nd Amendment

The school shooting at Uvalde has left behind unbelievable grief and shock across Texas. Some families of victims were made to wait hours before being told of their child's condition. President Biden is calling for new gun control action, while Texas Republicans are calling for more Texans to be armed and trained, as several prominent GOP leaders plan to appear at the NRA's annual convention in Houston this weekend - historically, mass shootings have resulted in a fewer gun restrictions in Texas, not more. Austinites are urged to not only make a blood donation, but to become a new regular blood donor - and to be sure to confirm the legitimacy of any online crowdfunding effort before giving. The November ballot is now set following yesterday's runoff election: incumbent Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton will face Democratic challenger Rochelle Garza, incumbent Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick gets a rematch with Democrat Mike Collier, and incumbent State Comptroller Glenn Hegar will be challenged by Democrat Janet Dudding. For Texas Land Commissioner, Republican Dawn Buckingham will face Democrat Jay Kleberg. Incumbent Railroad Commissioner Wayne Christian survived his runoff and will be challenged by Democrat Luke Warford. A noted runoff in the San Antonio area between incumbent U.S. Representative Henry Cuellar and challenger Jessica Cisneros remains too close to call this morning, though Cuellar has declared victory. The father of Kaitlin Marie Armstrong, still at large and wanted in the shooting death of pro cyclist Anna Moriah Wilson, is speaking out in her defense. After mulling the issue for a short additional time, Travis County health officials have declared a public health crisis over recent increases in local drug-related emergency calls and deaths. In the wake of several injuries and fatalities, Austin's Downtown Commission is considering stricter regulation of rental scooters. An uptick in local COVID cases is preceding the upcoming holiday weekend. Meanwhile, ABIA is predicting its busiest Memorial Day weekend ever. Dates have been announced for this year's Austin Restaurant Weeks event, a city-wide fundraiser that will benefit the Central Texas Food Bank: September 1 - 11. Robert Earl Keen, set to retire from public performance after a farewell run, has announced a "World Tour of Texas", which will include shows this August at the KOKE Fest, Gruene Hall, and ACL Live at the Moody Theater. Texas Baseball begins Big 12 Tournament play - and has a chance at revenge against Oklahoma State, who dealt the Horns a sweep less than a month ago - this morning in Arlington. Their tournament performance will have major implications for the upcoming regionals.

Freshman state Sen. Wendy Rogers, R-Flagstaff, has been among the most prominent voices lying about the 2020 presidential election. But her bombast goes well past political puffery. After the recent massacre in Buffalo that police believe was at the hands of a white racist, Rogers crossed a line in a vague social media post that fueled a conspiracy that the slayings were part of a federal false-flag operation. Nearly all her Arizona Senate colleagues voted for an ethics investigation, but they limited their scrutiny to a seven-word post after the slayings in which she noted that “Fed boy summer has started in Buffalo.” They rejected a Democratic measure to immediately expel her. The Senate Ethics Committee is scheduled to meet Wednesday on the investigation into Rogers and her tweet. In this episode, Brian Levin, a national expert on hate and extremism at California State University, San Bernardino, joins The Gaggle. He explains how Rogers and the rise of extremists in Arizona compares to what is happening more widely across the country.

Matt Kibbe is joined by Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) to discuss the causes and solutions to the current shortage of baby formula in the United States. It's mainly the result of an absurd regulatory regime that hinders competition and prevents producers and distributors from meeting the needs of consumers. But rather than dismantling or scaling back those regulations, the administration is engaging in cheap political stunts — including the use of military planes to air drop baby formula from Europe into swing states. The whole incident is a perfect illustration of the inability of a central government to effectively distribute goods in the same way that a free market is capable of doing. The senator also discusses his new book, “Saving Nine,” about the Democratic effort to pack the Supreme Court.

Tom welcomes back Danielle DiMartino Booth, CEO and Chief Strategist for Quill Intelligence, a research, and analytics firm. Danielle discusses the U.S. government's approach to dealing with inflation which includes raising taxes. Should this administration push forward with these plans then consumers will be hit hardest. These measures aren't likely to pass until next year assuming the Democratic party doesn't all but collapse this fall. She discusses how far astray the current administration and congress have been from following the law. Powell has been sounding quite tough in recent weeks. Had there not been a politically driven Fed leadership crisis rates would probably have been higher. Powell seems more resolute since being re-appointed. It will be interesting to see how far Powell will push the credit markets. Dealing with supply-side inflation is extremely difficult for the Fed because they simply don't have the tools. Powell is able if he chooses to break the back of the housing markets. Housing, however, is a lagging measure that will push CPI numbers higher. We're going to see dis-inflation first in discretionary purchases which will lower monthly CPI prints. The numbers indicate a global recession will arrive during 2022 which will translate into demand destruction for oil. Energy companies have been reluctant to reinvest profits since they are concerned about potential political risks. Danielle discusses what Powell may need to see to pivot his approach. Should economic problems become systemic that would likely be the point. She notes that the current Fed is open to a significant decline in equities. Lastly, she discusses the dynamics of the housing market and notes the intense speculation in these markets. A recession may create a lot of pressure on housing. There is a lot of leverage in the housing markets but they are mostly in the hands of investors. The downside is building for housing. Population growth rates determine the housing needs but right now it looks like we may be in for glut of supply.

Hour 1 * Guest: Dr. Scott Bradley – To Preserve The Nation – FreedomsRisingSun.com * Biden: ‘Everybody Should Be Concerned' About Monkeypox – Public health officials believe case numbers will soon increase. Though only occasionally fatal, the speed at which the monkeypox virus is spreading has raised fears of another pandemic. The CDC says there is ‘no proven, safe treatment' for monkeypox. * The World Economic Forum is pleased to announce that it will hold its Annual Meeting 2022 in Davos-Klosters, Switzerland, from Sunday 22 to Thursday 26 May. Under the theme, Working Together. * The small ski town of Davos, high in the Swiss alps, has heightened security measure in place during the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum, when armed guards perch on hotel rooftops while world leaders and business executives sip champagne below. * For the past half century, Klaus Schwab, the founder of the World Economic Forum, has extolled the virtues of an interconnected world, one where the free flow of goods, services, people and ideas would lead to shared prosperity and peace. It was an idealistic vision that endured in spite of global unrest, and it found adherents in the corridors of power from Palo Alto, Calif., to Washington, D.C., and from Brussels to Singapore and beyond. * 3 Things on The Table in Davos: Climate Change, Russia-Ukraine War, Cryptocurrencies. Hour 2 * Guest: Chris Carlson – Without God, we can never win, With God, we can never lose, The Battle for Freedom is the Lord's, but we need to be engaged in the fight! * Book Review: Behind the Curtain, Inside the Network of Progressive Billionaires and Their Campaign to Undermine Democracy – Jeff Reynolds. * “These donors and foundations operate by a different set of rules. When you have a pliable morality, the ends justify the means. More than anything else, that's the lesson of this book. Whatever it takes to push the agenda forward. Morality in this case means achieving those policy goals no matter what.” (Jeff Reynolds) * Have you heard of the ‘Billionaire's Club'? What about the “Giving Pledge,”? * David Brock is a life-long Democratic operative. He is also the founder of Democracy Alliance, an umbrella group for many other subversive organizations. * Another David Brock umbrella 501C3 non-profit organization is Media Matters for America. * Chinese influence: More than 330 thousand Chinese students attend college in the United States. The Chinese government funds and coordinates activities for dozens of branches of the Chinese Student and Scholarship Association (CSSA) in America. The Chinese Communist Party pays these students to attend certain activities for example when Xi Jinping visits America. * Whittaker Chambers: “In the United States, the working class are Democrats. The middle class are Republicans. The upper class are communists.” * Ezra Taft Benson stated: We have consistently warned our people against the insidious nature of communism, which debases the individual, robs him of his agency, and makes him an enslaved tool of the state to which he must look for sustenance and religion. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/loving-liberty/support

Once she was his intern; now she's his opponent. But that's not the only thing that makes the battle between Jessica Cisneros and Rep. Henry Cuellar in south Texas among the most intriguing of May 24's Democratic primaries. When Cisneros first challenged Cueller in 2020, she was a 26-year old immigration lawyer, and the race was heralded as a contest between progressive and moderate, young and old. The progressive movement positioned Cisneros in the vein of Rep.

The leaked draft opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, if officially released by the Supreme Court, would wipe out the federal constitutional right to abortion and directly impact the lives of millions of people. Already, the conservative legal movement is mobilizing to take advantage of the groundwork being laid in Dobbs to put same-sex marriage, contraception, and even interracial marriage in jeopardy. How wide will the impact of the Dobbs decision be and who will be affected?

The guest host for today's show is Brad Bannon. Brad runs Bannon Communications Research, a polling, message development and media firm which helps labor unions, progressive issue groups and Democratic candidates win public affairs and political campaigns. His show, 'Deadline D.C. with Brad Bannon,' airs every Monday from 3-4pm ET. Brad is first joined by Hope Frye, an internationally recognized immigration lawyer focused on disadvantaged populations, especially women and children. They discuss extremism, specifically focusing on Stephen Miller, the policy advisor who is credited with shaping the racist and draconian immigration policies of President Trump, and how he ascribes to 'replacement theory,' the same hateful ideology cited by the murderer in the recent mass shooting in Buffalo. Miller's hateful views manifested in Trump policies including Title 42 expulsions and baby snatching. They also talk about how this hateful 'replacement theory' has been refashioned by today's G.O.P. as an attack on immigration and immigrants. The website for 'Project Lifeline' is www.projectlifeline.us and their Twitter handle is @ProjLifeline. During the second half of the show, Brad is joined by Bob Keefe, Executive Director at Environmental Entrepreneurs (E2), a national, nonpartisan group of business leaders, investors, and professionals from every sector of the economy who advocate for smart policies that are good for the economy and good for the environment.

Georgia primary pits Pence-endorsed Brian Kemp against Trump-backed David Perdue, Since the 2020 election,  former President Donald Trump has been eager to oust Georgia Governor Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger for blocking efforts to overturn the 2020 election in the state.   Gov. Gavin Newsom threatened Monday to impose mandatory water restrictions if Californians don't use less on their own as a drought drags on and the hotter summer months approach. Newsom raised that possibility in a meeting with representatives from major water agencies, including those that supply Los Angeles, San Diego and the San Francisco Bay Area, his office said in a press release. The Democratic governor has avoided issuing sweeping, mandatory cuts in water use and instead favored an approach that gives local water agencies power to set rules for water use in the cities and towns they supply.

Joy Reid leads this edition of The ReidOut live from Liberty Plaza in Atlanta near the Georgia State Capitol on the eve of Georgia's primary election. There are several major races many are keeping a close eye on, as Georgia was ground zero for the former president's scheme to steal the 2020 election. On Tuesday, voters will determine if Republican attempts to steal the next presidential election in a similar manner can be stopped. Polls indicate that the race for governor will likely be a rematch of 2018 between incumbent Republican Brian Kemp and Democrat Stacey Abrams. Stacey Abrams, Democratic candidate for Georgia governor, joins Joy Reid on the state of Georgia politics. Plus, the Georgia primary is also a test for the state's Democrats, some of whom are finding themselves in new, competitive districts. Meanwhile, the results of Tuesday's elections will run headlong into the state's restrictive voting laws in November. U.S. Representative Nikema Williams and LaTosha Brown, co-founder of the Black Voters Matter Fund, join Joy on these important issues. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.

In the first hour of the morning show, Larry O'Connor and Julie Gunlock talked about San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone announcing that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is barred from receiving Holy Communion due to her pro-abortion stance and they discussed Hillary Clinton's former campaign manager testifying that the then-Democratic presidential nominee personally approved spreading disinformation that claimed the Trump organization had a secret communications channel with a Russian bank to the media.

Virginia GOP Chairman Rich Anderson joined WMAL's "O'Connor and Company" radio program on Monday to discuss this weekend's primaries in Virginia. https://twitter.com/VA_GOP VA-10 PRIMARY: Northern Virginia Republicans chose retired Navy captain and political newcomer Hung Cao to face Democratic Rep. Jennifer Wexton in the race for the 10th District. Cao, a 25-year Navy veteran and first-time candidate, defeated the best-funded candidate with an eight-year record of public service, Prince William County Supervisor Jeanine Lawson (R-Brentsville). Lawson raised over $920,000 — more than twice what Cao pulled in — and had backing from Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), the House Republican Conference chairwoman. VA-8 PRIMARY: Republicans in the 8th District selected Karina Lipsman as their nominee at a GOP convention as well, though Republicans do not typically fare well in the deep-blue Northern Virginia district. Incumbent Rep. Don Beyer Jr. and Victoria Virasingh are running in the Democratic primary for U.S. House Virginia District 8 on June 21, 2022. VA-5 PRIMARY: Rep. Bob Good (R-Va.) survived a primary challenge at a GOP nominating convention in Virginia's 5th Congressional District on Saturday, coasting to victory with an overwhelming margin of the vote. Good, one of the most conservative members of the House, faced a challenge from retired Air Force colonel Dan Moy, the chairman of the Charlottesville GOP Committee, who had accused Good of being “missing in action” on issues of national defense and the local economy. But Moy's argument swayed few, as Good enjoyed broad support from fellow Trump loyalists and religious conservatives in the reliably red district.

Its no secret the American political culture is broken and is in need of repair. Dr. Andrew Bard Schmookler is an award-winning author, summa cum laude graduate of Harvard University, former Democratic candidate for Congress, former talk radio host. Andy's weekly op-ed pieces have appeared in newspapers around the country. Since 2004, Dr. Schmookler has focused his attention on the current crisis in America, which he sees as perhaps the most profound to face this nation in its history. Though this crisis manifests itself in the political sphere, he sees it as also involving a deterioration of the moral and spiritual dimensions, which have a big impact on the balance of power between constructive and destructive forces in a society. Dr. Schmookler's current work, A Better Human Story, focuses on enabling humankind to better understand the forces at work that have driven the story of humankind on this planet. His insight into those forces shows we are capable of a much brighter future than most contemporary thinking imagines possible. He joined me this week to discuss how we can achieve a better human story. He also provided his perspective on the current state of American Politics today.

Hour 1 * Guest: Chris Carlson – Without God, we can never win, With God, we can never lose, The Battle for Freedom is the Lord's, but we need to be engaged in the fight! * Book Review: Behind the Curtain, Inside the Network of Progressive Billionaires and Their Campaign to Undermine Democracy – Jeff Reynolds. * “These donors and foundations operate by a different set of rules. When you have a pliable morality, the ends justify the means. More than anything else, that's the lesson of this book. Whatever it takes to push the agenda forward. Morality in this case means achieving those policy goals no matter what.” (Jeff Reynolds) * Have you heard of the ‘Billionaire's Club'? What about the “Giving Pledge,”? * David Brock is a life-long Democratic operative. He is also the founder of Democracy Alliance, an umbrella group for many other subversive organizations. * Another David Brock umbrella 501C3 non-profit organization is Media Matters for America. * Chinese influence: More than 330 thousand Chinese students attend college in the United States. The Chinese government funds and coordinates activities for dozens of branches of the Chinese Student and Scholarship Association (CSSA) in America.

The middle class are Republicans. The upper class are communists.” * Ezra Taft Benson stated: We have consistently warned our people against the insidious nature of communism, which debases the individual, robs him of his agency, and makes him an enslaved tool of the state to which he must look for sustenance and religion.

With so many progressive with legitimately powerful lived experiences in office, and do little progress, is that enough? Is Vilela willing to be genuinely adversarial to the Democratic party?

In the week since a gunman killed 10 people in a grocery store in Buffalo, N.Y., countless articles and television spots have unpacked the racist conspiracy he shared in a hate-filled manifesto before his shooting spree. The conspiracy—the so-called great replacement theory—is the idea that Democratic lawmakers and other elites are working to force white people into a minority in the United States, usually by increasing immigration.

In this bonus episode, Matt takes Sam on a tour of his native state, Pennsylvania, where a number of key primaries were held this week. The results brought some hopeful news: Lt. Gov. John Fetterman handily defeated State Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta and (even better) Manchin-backed moderate Rep. Conor Lamb in the contest for the Democratic senate nomination. But it also revealed the madness that continues to grip the GOP: State Sen. Doug Mastriano, a January 6 marcher and election-fraud true believer, will be running for governor in November, and Dr. Oz, as of this writing, was clinging to a narrow lead in the race to take on Fetterman. Don't worry, though, it's not all punditry: the cuisines, strange regional dialects, and curious folkways of the virtuous commonwealth also are discussed. Then the episode turns to the fortunes of the Thiel tools: J.D. Vance and Blake Masters, both of whom are running for the Senate (Vance in Ohio and Masters in Arizona). The former won the Republican nod, and in come-from-behind fashion—how did he do it, especially after months of woke pundits dismissing his campaign? And what are Masters chances in August, when the Arizona GOP primary will be held?Subscribe to Know Your Enemy on Patreon to listen to this bonus episode, and all of our bonus content: https://www.patreon.com/knowyourenemy

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with democracy on the ballot in November, as election deniers run for statewide office in a large number of states in 2022, jeopardizing the outcome of the next presidential election if these Republicans win many of these offices. Next, we discuss how the Jan. 6 select committee has announced a new development in their investigation with their request for information from Republican Congressman Barry Loudermilk concerning a tour he conducted the day before Jan. 6. Then, Joy slams Republicans blocking the emergency baby formula bill saying, "They would rather have the formula shortage as an election year talking point rather than doing their jobs to help solve it." Plus, we bring you reporting showing that Texas hurricane relief has been disproportionately diverted to White communities--with a lower risk of natural disasters. Finally, Chris Jones, Democratic candidate for governor of Arkansas, joins us on his plan to win. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.

The leak of a draft opinion from the Supreme Court earlier this month that showed the majority-conservative court ready to overturn Roe v. Wade has led two-thirds of Democrats to say that they are more likely to vote in November, according to the latest NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll. That compares to just 40% of Republicans who said so. It remains to be seen whether that enthusiasm will wane in the months before the election.This episode: White House correspondent Scott Horsley, demographics and culture correspondent Danielle Kurtzleben, and senior political editor and correspondent Domenico Montanaro.Support the show and unlock sponsor-free listening with a subscription to The NPR Politics Podcast Plus.
