Podcasts about democratic attorney general

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. NBA Betting Scandal One of the most explosive sports scandals in recent memory: a massive NBA betting and poker rigging investigation led by the FBI. Clay and Buck break down the details of a multi-year probe that resulted in over 30 arrests across 11 states, involving current and former NBA players and coaches, including Portland Trailblazers head coach Chauncey Billups, former player and coach Damon Jones, and Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier. The scandal spans illegal gambling operations, insider betting schemes, and mafia-run poker games using high-tech cheating devices like x-ray tables, contact lenses, and altered shuffling machines. Clay explains how the FBI uncovered two interconnected cases: one involving the mob rigging high-stakes poker games with tens of millions of dollars at stake, and another exposing NBA players manipulating game performance for prop bets, such as Rozier allegedly leaving a game early after signaling insiders. The hosts discuss the staggering stupidity of risking a $26 million NBA salary for $200,000 in illicit winnings, and why legalized sports betting may actually help catch these schemes by flagging irregular wagering patterns. Oppression Olympics An in-depth look at the Virginia Governor’s race, dissecting conflicting polls on Abigail Spanberger and why Democrats are sounding alarms despite media narratives of a comfortable lead. The hosts mock MSNBC’s claim that Spanberger’s struggles stem from sexism, pointing out that she’s running against another woman and citing examples of women winning major races nationwide. They argue Democrats are leaning on identity politics rather than addressing policy failures. The conversation pivots to Spanberger’s refusal to call for the resignation of Jay Jones, the Democratic Attorney General candidate embroiled in a text scandal advocating political violence. Clay warns Virginians that Spanberger is a far-left candidate masquerading as moderate, predicting radical policies on gender identity and sports if she wins. This leads to a fiery discussion on transgender athletes, spotlighting a shocking Minnesota Supreme Court ruling that unanimously allowed a male powerlifter to compete in women’s competitions, citing “human rights.” Clay and Buck slam this as emblematic of the left’s strategy to impose gender ideology through state power, comparing it to COVID-era mandates and warning of broader cultural consequences. Rep. Jim Jordan The ongoing government shutdown, now in its 23rd day, with Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan joining the show to explain why Democrats are holding the line—fear of primaries from the far-left and leveraging issues like Obamacare subsidies. Jordan predicts the shutdown could last until November and blasts Democrats’ Trump Derangement Syndrome as a driving force. Jordan also drops bombshell news: a criminal referral against former CIA Director John Brennan for allegedly lying under oath about the Steele dossier during the Russia investigation. He details evidence showing Brennan pushed for the dossier’s inclusion despite knowing it was unreliable, framing it as part of a broader pattern of anti-Trump bias. The discussion then shifts to Trump’s record in his second term, with Jordan calling it “the most impactful year of any presidency,” citing achievements on tax cuts, border security, Iran policy, and ending men in women’s sports. The hour closes with a quick revisit of the NBA betting scandal, contrasting today’s corruption with Pete Rose’s infamous wagers, and a nuanced debate on whether athletes betting on themselves should be treated differently. Clay explains why leagues ban all player gambling to prevent debt-driven corruption, noting referees as historically vulnerable due to lower salaries. Gov't Shutdown Realities The latest on the government shutdown, now stretching into weeks, as Clay and Buck dissect explosive remarks from Democratic House Whip Katherine Clark, who admitted the shutdown is being used as “leverage.” Speaker of the House Mike Johnson fires back, accusing Democrats of holding American families hostage to push for $200 billion in Obamacare subsidies and benefits for illegal immigrants. The hosts argue this political brinkmanship is driven by internal Democratic fears—Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries worried about primary challenges from the far-left, especially after Mamdani’s surprise victory in the New York City mayoral primary, which shook the party establishment. The conversation pivots to the New York City mayor’s race, analyzing the fiery second debate featuring Curtis Sliwa, Andrew Cuomo, and Mamdani. Clay praises Sliwa’s populist message but warns that staying in the race could guarantee a Mamdani win. They highlight Cuomo and Sliwa pressing Mamdani on housing ballot initiatives, exposing his evasiveness and lack of clear policy positions. Clay brands Momani as a “cipher”—a social media-savvy candidate with no substantive record—contrasting him with Cuomo’s long political history.

On this episode of ABL Live, we're talking the ongoing controversy behind the ICE raids, the continuing Government shutdown, New York Attorney General Letitia James being indicted for mortgage fraud, the Virginia Gubernatorial race in which the Democratic Attorney General candidate was exposed for violent texts against his opponent, and much more!

John Reid, Republican candidate for Lieutenant Governor of Virginia, joined The Guy Benson Show today to discuss the shocking scandal involving Democratic Attorney General candidate Jay Jones, who sent text messages saying he wished current Virginia House Speaker Todd Gilbert had “two bullets” in his head, along with wishing Gilbert's wife could watch her own children die in her arms. Reid expressed outrage over the silence from Virginia Democrats, including gubernatorial candidate Abagail Spanberger, who have refused to condemn Jones or call for him to drop out of the race. He also noted that many Democrats who voted early are now expressing deep regret over their decision. Reid detailed the disturbing pattern of escalating political violence on the left, from this scandal to the recent assassination of Charlie Kirk, and what it says about the state of our political discourse.

How are Democratic and Republican lawmakers reacting to suspicion around Lansing that there might be a looming government shutdown? Also what is the future of Michigan's business development strategy when the Democratic Attorney General suggests pausing funding to the economic development corporation until oversight is improved? Today's episode is a roundtable edition of MIRS Monday, featuring Sen. Joseph Bellino Jr. – the Monroe Republican – and Flushing Democratic Rep. Jasper Martus (3:45).  They also do a speed round of what policy ideas have promising, dead or unknown futures in a Democratic-run Senate and Republican-led House. 

Between 200 and 250 people, including candidates in both parties, turned out for Thursday evening's presidential debate watch party at Lakeside Ashland. President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump held their first presidential debate in Atlanta, and it was broadcast on Lakeside Ashland's movie theater. One of the candidates who appeared and spoke to numerous voters last night was Missouri Democratic attorney general nominee Elad Gross, a former assistant attorney general under then-AG Chris Koster. Mr. Gross grew up in University City, a St. Louis suburb. He earned his law degree from Washington University. One of the big issues he's focusing on is puppy mills. Mr. Gross joined us live in-studio on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Mid-Missouri", telling listeners that Missouri ranks first in the nation in puppy mills for the 12th year. He notes Missourians approved a proposition at the ballot box aimed at addressing puppy mills, but says the Legislature has weakened that. He brought his dog, Liberty Belle, into the studio with him. Liberty Belle was rescued from a puppy mill and has a broken leg. Counselor Gross also wants to see more action from the Missouri attorney general's office on scammers, noting the amount of elderly and other residents receiving scam calls. He says the attorney general's office needs more staff to investigate scammers. Mr. Gross is also calling for staffing a public corruption unit and restarting the Conservation Division. One of the issues he heard about from several voters in Ashland last night was inflation. Mr. Gross wants to see workable solutions:

The burgeoning political landscape is set to welcome its newest participant: Barron Trump, the youngest son of former President Donald Trump. The Florida Republican Party freshly stamped his ticket onto the political stage on Wednesday, at the age of 18, deeming him a suitable candidate for being one of the state's at-large delegates at the forthcoming Republican National Convention. Barron, teetering on the edge of his high school graduation, is walking in the footsteps of his elder half-siblings, Don Jr., Eric, Ivanka, and Tiffany. Rallying together under the banner of Republican politics, these offspring of the Trump dynasty continue the legacy of their family in all its political shades. Don Jr., Eric, and Tiffany too will be part of the 41 delegates Petering from Florida for the convention. Gleaned information from sources within a Trump campaign official suggests that Barron's budding interest in the political process was decisive in his inclusion in the delegation. Chairman of the Florida GOP, Evan Power, buoyed with enthusiasm for the advent of a 'great convention in Milwaukee', reiterated the state party's commitment to laying the groundwork for future success in Florida. Chairman Power struck a confident note when he promised a decisive victory for the party in the November elections, stating unequivocally 'we are going to win and we will win big.' Barron's exposure to the public eye heightened recently during his father's closely scrutinized legal proceedings in New York, associated with alleged hush-money. In a heartfelt plea, Trump's legal team appealed to Judge Juan Merchan, emphasizing their client's earnest desire to be granted a day off to partake in Barron's graduation ceremony. Prioritizing family values, Judge Merchan granted consent for Trump to attend the key milestone in his youngest son's journey. Barron's coming of age ceremony, scheduled for Friday, May 17, hence saw the presence of the leading GOP figure. In contrast to this familial moment, the presumptive nominee faces a rigorous schedule in a Manhattan courtroom four days a week, juggling legal challenges with his White House aspirations. Trump's myriad of legal complexities, encompassing both civil and criminal aspects, extend beyond his own person. They have indeed cast their shadow on his children, pulling them into the whirlpool of public scrutiny and judicial examination. In a significant trial last year over alleged civil business fraud in New York, all of three - Don Jr., Eric, and Ivanka - found themselves on the stand. The Democratic Attorney General of New York was seeking punishment for Trump and his eponymous organization, contending that he maliciously overexaggerated his net worth and financial statements. The Trump Organization, a legacy passed onto Trump by his father, remains a stalwart pillar of the family legacy. Nevertheless, its operations have seen a permutation, transitioning to Don Jr. and Eric after their sister Ivanka opted to step down from her leadership role. Ivanka sought a change of scene and embraced a different set of responsibilities when she decided to carry her industry leadership skills over to a political environment, joining her father in the White House as an advisor. The culmination of Trump's political agenda, the RNC National Convention, is marked in the calendar to span from July 15-18. This pivotal event promises to ignite political discussions, bearing strong influence on the trajectory of Republican conservative politics and the fate of the party in the ensuing election. This convention will unfold in Milwaukee, offering delegates and attendees an immersive experience in the throbbing heart of Republican thought and strategy. Barron's inclusion as a delegate enriches the mix of participants with a youthful perspective. His participation heralds a promising future for the party, signaling that the next generation is ready to carry the mantle of conservative principles forward. Evan Power and the entire Florida GOP are evidently geared up for the convention, fostered with hopes of a 'great convention'. The heightened interest in the political process from members of the younger generation, represented by Barron and his siblings, evidently reflects positively on the future image of the party. The role of family in the continuation of conservative ideas is indisputable. As seen from the Trump family's active involvement, their commitment to the pillars of virtuous governance, economic prosperity, and American values offers the party a stronger platform from which to reach and influence voters. While the political landscape is fraught with uncertainty, one thing remains clear: the commitment to conservative ideas, as displayed by the Trump family and the Florida GOP, is unwavering. As the Republican National Convention approaches, there is little doubt that the event will provide an absorbing juncture in the journey towards the November elections.

In a decision that has ignited widespread anger, the Arizona Supreme Court has reinstated an archaic 1864 law criminalizing nearly all abortions in the state. The law, a relic from before Arizona's statehood, threatens to imprison anyone involved in performing or facilitating an abortion, except in cases where the woman's life is in danger, offering no exception for rape or incest. Arizona now joins the ranks of states with the most severe abortion restrictions, spotlighting the battle for reproductive rights as a central issue in the upcoming 2024 elections. The law subjects physicians to potential imprisonment, drawing fierce criticism from Democrats, including President Joe Biden, who condemned the law as cruel and an attack on women's freedoms fueled by a Republican agenda. In response to this draconian ruling, Vice President Kamala Harris has pledged to fight for reproductive freedoms, highlighting the ruling's potential to shutter abortion clinics across the state of Arizona. The state's Democratic Attorney General, Kris Mayes, has vowed not to enforce this oppressive law, labeling the court's decision as unconscionable. Learn more about your ad choices.

Some Republican state lawmakers are suing Democratic Attorney General Josh Kaul, saying he's not complying with laws passed during a lame-duck session late last year. The laws were designed to limit Kaul's powers, along with those of Democratic Gov. Tony Evers. The GOP has asked the Wisconsin Supreme Court to take the case directly, bypassing the lower courts. In this week's Capitol Notes conversation, JR Ross of WisPolitics.com tells WUWM's Marti Mikkelson that both sides are commenting on the case.

On September 4, 2018, the New York City Bar Association and the New York Law Journal co-hosted an "Evening with the Candidates" Forum for the Democratic Attorney General Primary Candidates. The candidates covered a wide range of issues, from immigration and ICE in the courts, corruption, and consumer protection, to criminal justice reform, health care, and income inequality.

They've known each other for 40-years.  Stone + Trump.  Trump + Stone.  Boys from the 'hood'.  Just 2 wiseguys from Brooklyn Heights/Queens. Stone was a stone-cold killer of political dirty tricks.  In the 1972 GOP presidential campaign Stone took $125 of cash into Republican Congressman Pete McCloskey's campaign headquarters in Manchester, New Hampshire and stated that he was making said donation in the name of the Young Democratic Socialists of America .  McCloskey was running against the sitting president - Richard Nixon.  The next day he arranged for the paper of record - the Manchester Leader to report that a republican presidential candidate - Pete McCloskey - had accepted a cash donation from a socialist group.  Bye-bye McCloskey. Stone went on in later years to torpedo Democratic Attorney General of New York, Eliot Spitzer's presidential ambitions.  Stone used inside sources inside the DA's office to somehow bypass secrecy and unearth the name & of Elliot Spitzer as a suspected regular paying client of a high-priced call girl - in which Spitzer was later implicated and thus ending his political career.  In addition, Stone was involved in the sudden downfall of Democratic Senator Al Franklin wherein a tape of Franklin supposedly getting frisky with a fellow female performer while on stage during a USO tour for the troops abroad.  Franklin was forced to resign from the U.S. Senate. Stone has been available for Trump over the decades for favors and political advice and for a while Stone was a lobbyist for Trump's 3 casinos in Atlantic City.  Trump subsequently fired him but Stone reconnected with Trump in the Spring of 2015 to help on Trump's presidential campaign launch.
