Podcasts about dianne feinstein's senate

A new poll shows one candidate emerging as the clear frontrunner in the California Senate race. That campaign is really heating up, just a few days before voters can start casting early ballots. A new survey is out today from a collaboration among USC, Cal State Long Beach and Cal Poly Pomona. This poll shows Congressman Adam Schiff leading in the campaign for what was Dianne Feinstein's Senate seat, with 25%. Then Congresswoman Katie Porter and retired baseball star Steve Garvey are tied for second with 15% each, followed by Oakland Congresswoman Barbara Lee at 7%, and a collection of other candidates combining for 6%. Undecided is actually leading this race, because 29% don't know yet which candidate they'll vote for, so there's plenty of time for these numbers to shift quite a bit before the March 5 primary.

WBT afternoon show host Brett Winterble joins Good Morning BT with Bo Thompson & Beth Troutman talking with rapt breath about next week's GOP debate that will happen while Donald Trump does a town hall on Fox with Sean Hannity, and former LA Dodgers baseball great Steve Garvey's chances in the race for late Senator Dianne Feinstein's Senate seat.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Vivek Ramaswamy came after former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley in the fourth Republican primary debate last night. He tried to paint her as a corrupt Dick Cheney in high heels. She fought back, but her recent ascent in the polls made her the candidate to take down. We'll dissect the important moments from the debate. The fake electors that tried to lie for Trump are being held accountable in some states. While some face fines and jail time, others just have to apologize and come clean with the truth about the election. Mark is sailing away to excitement and adventure with Courtney, but before he left, he had a chance to sit down with Christina Pascucci. She is the news anchor in Los Angeles that left her career to run for the late Dianne Feinstein's Senate seat. We will find out why she was inspired to get into politics and why she decided to start with the US Senate. COP 28, also known as the UN climate change convention, is underway and it's not without controversy. As delegates from nearly every country negotiate global goals for climate change, fossil fuel lobbyists have been invited by the UAE. During “It's the Planet, Stupid!” we will talk to Belinda Waymouth about why that might get in the way of progress. The Mark Thompson Show 12/7/23

Ralph is joined by author and human rights activist Miko Peled. They discuss the excuses that Israel uses to defend the atrocities they commit against Palestinians, and the truth behind all the propaganda. Miko Peled is an author, writer, speaker, and human rights activist living in the United States. He is considered by many to be one of the clearest voices calling for justice in Palestine, support of the Palestinian call for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) and the creation of a single democracy with equal rights in all of historic Palestine. Mr. Peled was born and raised in Jerusalem. His grandfather was a signer of the Israeli Declaration of Independence and his father was a general in the 1967 war. Anybody who is not courageous enough to stand up and speak the truth and stand up for what is right, because they might be called this name or that name—it's cowardice, it's hypocrisy. Being called antisemitic is a small price to pay when you talk about standing for the rights of millions of people who have been living under such terror for so many decades.Miko Peled This is pure revenge. What we're seeing is vengeance of a military force and a state that have been humiliated. And just like any bully, any gangster who's been humiliated, they take it out on the weakest people they can find, people who cannot defend themselves… It's revenge for the sake of revenge. It's savagery for the sake of savagery. It's brutality in its purest form. There's no other reason than the brutality itself. Miko Peled Palestinians deserve nothing less than the lifting of the siege, release of all prisoners, and the dismantling of the apartheid state. Nothing less than that should be demanded. And all we're seeing people talk about is ceasefires, as though a ceasefire is some great accomplishment. Ceasefire does not provide the possibility of a future where this is not repeated. What needs to be demanded now is a political solution that will ensure the safety and security of Palestinians—and that is never part of the conversation. A ceasefire does not secure the lives or the security of Palestinians, because we know Israel will violate it a week later. Miko Peled It's not going to collapse because Israelis agree. It's not going to collapse because Israelis wake up one morning in a good mood. Israel is going to have to be forced on its knees. Just like in South Africa, whites in South Africa were on their knees. We're talking about severe sanctions. We're talking about closing down all diplomatic missions. We're talking about not allowing Israelis to participate in sporting events, cultural events, any events, academic arenas. They need to be shunned. Israeli society and the apartheid state that they created need to be brought on their knees.Miko Peled In Case You Haven't Heard with Francesco DeSantis1. The Intercept's Prem Thakker reports 43 members of Congress now support a ceasefire. Some notable additions in recent days include Reps. Becca Balint, Sara Jacobs and Jamie Raskin, the first Jewish members to call for a ceasefire, and Jeff Merkley, the second Senator to call for a ceasefire. Pressure continues to mount on Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, but they still do not support a ceasefire. And the LA Times editorial board has become the first in the nation to call for a ceasefire.2. According to Time, Reporters Without Borders has filed a complaint with the International Criminal Court for war crimes committed against Palestinian journalists in Gaza. The complaint cites the "deliberate, total or partial, destruction of the premises of more than 50 media outlets in Gaza." This crisis will likely prove decisive for the legitimacy of the ICC, as several countries including South Africa, have alleged that the court is biased in favor of western-aligned governments.3. Haaretz reports former Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy, who crafted the “Leahy Law” which prohibits U.S. military assistance to foreign security forces that violate human rights, has gone on record saying that the U.S. routinely ignores Israeli human rights abuses. Leahy said “it appears to me that shooting civilians and targeting civilian infrastructure, when you can't prove it is being used by Hamas, would be a violation of human rights…What is being done to apply the Leahy law now? I don't know. I know past administrations have been too concerned to do it. It should apply to the Israeli Defense Forces, unless the administration, as many have, has waived it."4. While not calling for a ceasefire, both Bernie Sanders and President Biden have announced plans to reshape military aid to Israel. Senator Sanders has put forth a plan to condition military aid upon multiple criteria including “the right of displaced Gazans to return to their homes” and “an end to settler violence in the West Bank.” Barak Ravid reports President Biden is considering imposing sanctions on Israeli settlers – who have long operated with legal impunity – threatening to ban visas for violent Israeli extremists in the West Bank. Ravid adds this would be the “1st time the U.S. [has] publicly consider[ed] individual sanctions against settlers.”5. KCRA reports The California Democratic convention was interrupted at multiple points by demonstrators demanding the candidates to fill Dianne Feinstein's Senate seat call for a ceasefire. Rep. Barbara Lee has done so, but not Reps. Katie Porter or Adam Schiff. Barbara Lee won the most votes at the convention, but fell short of the 60% threshold required to get the formal endorsement of the state party.6. A stunning ceasefire protest in the Bay Area saw activists park their cars on the bay bridge, then throw their keys into the water below – making it impossible for them or the police to move the vehicles, per FOX 8. Another protest at the DNC resulted in a police crackdown leaving 90 protesters injured, per the Guardian. Yet another protest at DC's Union Station resulted in 3 arrests on vandalism charges for protesters leaving bloody handprints on the inside of the station, per WTOP. Expect these disruption tactics to escalate as political leaders continue to ignore demands for a ceasefire.7. While many colleges are clamping down on pro-Palestine protests, Ryan Grim reports Occidental has set the model for engagement with student activists. The college announced that, following a student occupation of the administration office, they would pursue a dialogue with the student activists. Both the students and the administration stressed that Barack Obama got his start in activism at Occidental, pressuring the administration to divest from apartheid South Africa.8. In other news, Bloomberg reports the Public Prosecutor's office in Guatemala has conducted raids and arrests of Semilla party members. Semilla candidate Bernardo Arevalo was elected earlier this year, successfully, dealing a rare defeat to the openly corrupt political establishment in that country. The Public Prosecutor's office also announced that they will file charges against Arevalo, his vice-president elect, and several Semilla congressmen. The State Department has decried this move and is seeking to “Impose Additional Visa Restrictions in Response to Anti-Democratic Actions in Guatemala.” 9. Finally, More Perfect Union reports that “For the first time ever, U.S. auto workers have gotten a shuttered factory reopened. Workers at the massive Belvidere [Illinois] Jeep plant were laid off or told to relocate in March. Now the plant is not only reopening — @UAW won three times as many jobs and a $30/hour wage floor.” This stunning victory shows what is possible in terms of revitalizing domestic manufacturing with a renewed labor movement. And that is something we can all be thankful for.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard. Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe

Longtime labor leader and Democratic strategist Laphonza Butler will be California's new U.S. Senator. News of Butler's appointment -- confirmed by Governor Gavin Newsom's office Sunday night -- comes days after the death of Dianne Feinstein, which left the Senate seat vacant. Reporter: Guy Marzorati, KQED This week, seven California counties launch CARE Courts. They're the new mental health courts required by the state that have the authority to mandate people with severe mental illness to receive treatment.  The implementation of CARE Court will be under particular scrutiny in San Francisco, as the city wrestles with both mental health and homelessness crises. Guest: Rafael Mandelman, San Francisco Supervisor When presidential candidates travel to places like Iowa and New Hampshire, they usually spend time praising the state they're in. But that is not what Republicans making the pilgrimage to California are saying about the Golden State. Reporter: Marisa Lagos, KQED 

John Ziegler, co-host of the podcast "The Death of Journalism", joins Mark Reardon to discuss his thoughts on the Gavin Newsom appointment of Laphonzo Butler to take over Dianne Feinstein's Senate seat.

Hour 1: John Ziegler, co-host of the podcast "The Death of Journalism", joins Mark Reardon to discuss his thoughts on the Gavin Newsom appointment of Laphonzo Butler to take over Dianne Feinstein's Senate seat. Then, Mark shares some of the latest news on Former President Trump!

It's Thursday, and since I tear down my studio after tomorrow's show for the move, this is the last time I'll speak with Howie Klein for a few weeks. Today, he brings along Maebe A. Girl, a Blue America-endorsed candidate who's running to replace Adam Schiff in the House. Schiff is, of course, running for Dianne Feinstein's Senate seat, leaving his congressional seat up for grabs. It also happens to be the district where Howie Klein lives, so this one is personal for him.

There's yet another hat in the ring in the race to succeed East Bay Congresswoman Barbara Lee. Lee is running for Dianne Feinstein's Senate seat, and how the race for her spot in Congress is heating up and getting crowded. This had looked like an easy run for BART Board member Lateefah Simon, a rising star in Democratic circles who announced early and lined up many major endorsements, quickly raising an impressive amount of money in what looked like a successful effort to clear the field and avoid a competitive race. But not so fast. First, Oakland businessman Tim Sanchez announced he would run against Simon for Lee's job, trying to become the Bay Area's first Latino member of Congress, and now there's a third significant Democrat jumping into the fray.  For more, KCBS political reporter Doug Sovern, along with anchors Bret Burkhart and Nikki Medoro spoke with Dr. Jennifer Tran Oakland, daughter of Vietnamese refugees, an assistant professor of Ethnic Studies at Cal State East Bay, with a degree from UC San Diego and a PhD from USC, and president of the Oakland Vietnamese Chamber of Commerce.

Happy Monday! Sam is back from vacation! He and Emma speak with Jon D. Erickson, professor of sustainability science and policy at The University of Vermont, to discuss his recent book The Progress Illusion: Reclaiming Our Future from the Fairytale of Economics. Then, they're joined but Justin Alo of Teamsters Local 542 and Matt Leichenger of Teamsters Local 804 to discuss UPS workers' campaign for a new contract. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on the freezing of Mifepristone, the Fox-Dominion case, the Supreme Court hearing a case on Christians having to work on Sundays, the success of the faculty union at Rutgers, continuing gun violence across the US, the GOP Primary, and Macron's assault on the French working class, before parsing through the absences of Sam Seder and Dianne Feinstein. Jon D. Erickson then dives right into his concept of “progress illusion,” as capitalism's fairytale of market-driven, hyper-privatized progress, defined by marginal benefits and hyper-individualized choices that completely ignore the biophysical realities of our planet and who we are as humans. Next, he steps back to discuss the ideological nature of economics, and why that must be understood in searching for who and what economic systems are built for, diving into the statistic of Gross Domestic Product as a symbol of neoliberal progress, and how it emphasizes privatized profits while ignoring the social costs. After tackling the idea of economic systems as our servants (rather than masters), Professor Erickson walks Sam and Emma through his view of a statistic that is conscious of public costs, as put into practice in Vermont, and where such a system still falls short. Wrapping up, Jon, Emma, and Sam debate the role of capitalism and degrowth in a future that doesn't exclusively value private profits. Justi Alo and Matt Leichenger then dive into the recent UPS teamsters' strike, what the Teamsters for a Democratic Union caucus represents, and how a new generation of union organizers is stepping up. They also discuss UPS' massive profits over the pandemic, alongside diminishing working conditions, and what the teamsters' demands for this strike entail. And in The Fun Half: Sam and Emma cover the Right-Wing jumping at the chance to defend Dianne Feinstein's Senate seat, Kevin McCarthy's visit to Wall Street to let them know that the working class will be punished soon, and the Good Liars return to the NRA Conference. Glenn Beck and Ben Shapiro each dive into their own brands of historical revisionism (transphobic holocaust denial and the race of Cleopatra, respectively), which Brendan from San Diego analyzes, and Rob from Boston asks Emma and Bradley to please stop the Taibbi impressions. Catfish James from Portland (Oregon) dives into the Greater Idaho Movement, and Greg Gutfeld gets woke on the Five, plus, your calls and IMs!   Check out Jon's book here: https://islandpress.org/books/progress-illusion Check out Justin's piece in Labor Notes about the impending contract negotiations here: https://www.labornotes.org/2023/04/strike-force-building-ups-contract-campaign-one-breakfast-time Get more info on Teamsters For A Democratic Union (TDU) here: https://www.tdu.org/donate Check out the TDU Store!: https://tdustore.myshopify.com/ Donate to the New York City DSA's Union Power Campaign here!: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/unionpower Become a member at JoinTheMajorityReport.com: https://fans.fm/majority/join Subscribe to the ESVN YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/esvnshow Subscribe to the AMQuickie newsletter here: https://am-quickie.ghost.io/ Join the Majority Report Discord! http://majoritydiscord.com/ Get all your MR merch at our store: https://shop.majorityreportradio.com/ Get the free Majority Report App!: http://majority.fm/app Check out today's sponsors: Sunset Lake CBD: sunsetlakecbd is a majority employee owned farm in Vermont, producing 100% pesticide free CBD products.

After a quick discussion of last week's TikTok testimony, Kara and Nayeema turn to today's guest: Congresswoman Katie Porter. The California Democrat has gone viral for her whiteboard-wielding grilling of CEOs like Jamie Dimon and Mark Zuckerberg and her subtle art of not giving a f*ck during the recent marathon that was Kevin McCarthy's speaker vote. But today, Kara's the one doing the grilling (sans whiteboard). Taped live at Manny's in San Francisco, the two talk about the aftershocks of Silicon Valley Bank as well as what was behind her very early announcement that she was running for Dianne Feinstein's Senate seat.
