Podcast appearances and mentions of Gage Skidmore

Air Date 5/30/2025 Given the overwhelming weirdness of Trump and his malfeasant style of governance, it would be perfectly understandable for casual observers to believe that his signature piece of legislation, weirdly named in reality the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," was itself also likely to be pretty weird; a potential departure from usual Republican Party policy priorities. In reality, what's weird is how deeply normal it is: take from the poor and give to the rich while letting corporations get away with murder.

Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan, and RCP White House Correspondent Phil Wegmann discuss the duo's  “Fighting Oligarchy” Tour, the future of the Democratic Party, and whether Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will run for president.  Then they discuss next steps in Ukraine and President Zelensky's cover-story interview in Time magazine. Comedian Conan O'Brien is awarded the Mark Twain Prize in a celebration that featured multiple jokes about President Trump. Also, former Utah Representative Mia Love, the first Black Republican woman in Congress, is dead at age 49. Tom Bevan talks to RCP contributor Richard Porter about the fight between The White House and some of America's top legal firms. And Andrew Walworth talks to RealClear Investigations editor J. Peder Zane about a new article by RCI writer Paul Sperry that looks into allegations that FBI Director James Comey used a female undercover agent to fish for evidence of criminal activity by the Trump campaign as early as June, 2015."Image of Alexandria Ocasio Cortez courtesy of Gage Skidmore from Surprise, AZ, United States of America, CC BY-SA 2.0 via Wikimedia Commons"

Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan, and Carl Cannon discuss President Trump's orders to deport 137 alleged Venezuelan gang members, as well as the deportation of a Lebanese doctor with an H1B visa and a teaching position at Brown University. Is the clash between the courts and the White House on immigration policy coming to a head? They also talk about Donald Trump's social media post challenging the legitimacy of Joe Biden's pardons because they were signed by autopen. Plus, the cold war between the press and the White House continues at the Gridiron Dinner this past weekend and the upcoming White House Correspondents Dinner, two signature spring social events for the Washington press. Next, Andrew Walworth interviews Jeffrey Gedmin, president and CEO of the Middle East Broadcasting Networks, on this weekend's executive order cutting support for the Voice of America, Radio Free Europe, and other public diplomacy organizations funded by the US government. And finally, Tom Bevan interviews Nicole Russell, columnist for USA Today, about the state of the US economy. She argues that inflation will cool, interest rates will drop and consumer confidence will return, all as a result of Trump's policies.

Air Date 12/17/2024 Changing the direction of a political party doesn't happen overnight and it usually takes a major disrupting event to shake it out of its well-wore groove. The loss of the Harris campaign to Trump and the evident desperation people have for a new economics that works for people might finally be enough to put Democrats on track to a more full-throated support of economic populism.

Fast fünfzehn Jahre sind seit dem Kinostart von Avatar – Aufbruch nach Pandora (Amazon-Link*) vergangen. Damals revolutionierte der Film das 3D-Kino, heute redet kaum noch jemand drüber. Grund genug, um mit Thomas „TeeJay“ Jaspers vom Kaijuland Podcast nicht nur den Film, sondern auch das 3D-(Heim)Kino ausführlich zu besprechen! [YouTube Direkttrailer] Crew Regie & Drehbuch: James Cameron Cast Sam Worthington als Jake Sully Zoe Saldana als Neytiri Sigourney Weaver als Dr. Grace Augustine Stephen Lang als Colonel Miles Quaritch Michelle Rodriguez als Trudy Chacón Giovanni Ribisi als Parker Selfridge Wir versuchen den Film zu besprechen, scheitern aber an seiner inhaltlichen Belanglosigkeit. Schwache Charaktere; ein effektives, aber viel zu simples Drehbuch und fehlende Momente bringen uns schnell auf die technische Seite der Diskussion. Die Bilder sind beeindruckend, der 3D-Effekt hat das Kino (zeitweilig) verändert und auch das Worldbuilding scheint eine Mammutaufgabe gewesen zu sein. Zum Schluss vertiefen wir die Diskussion rund um das 3D-Kino und nähern uns der (lebendigen?) Nische des 3D-Heimkinos. Thomas berichtet von seinem Heimkinosetup und Christian schildert seinen Versuch, den Film in einer VR-Brille zu schauen. Ihr findet weitere Ausgaben mit Thomas hier bei uns im Archiv. Drüben im Kaijuland Podcast widmet er sich nicht nur Kaijufilmen, sondern der japanischen Popkultur und darüber hinaus! In der nächsten Ausgabe widmen wir uns mal wieder dem deutschen Film. Christian war einst im Radio Capitol Podcast zu Gast und hat dort über Stromberg gesprochen. Zum zehnjährigen Jubiläum des Kinofilms und damit zum Abschluss der Serie holen wir deshalb MacSnider und Stromberg – Der Film (Amazon-Link*) in die Second Unit. Denn der Teufel ist ein Eichhörnchen!

In Berkeley Talks episode 211, Bradley Onishi, a scholar of religion, an ex-evangelical minister and the co-host of the politics podcast Straight White American Jesus, discusses Project 2025, Christian nationalism and the November elections.“Project 2025 is a deeply reactionary Catholic vision for the country,” said Onishi, who gave the 2024 Berkeley Lecture on Religious Tolerance on Oct. 1. “It's a Christian nationalism fueled by Catholic leaders, and in many cases, reactionary Catholic thought.”Many see Trump's vice presidential running mate J.D. Vance, a first-term senator from Ohio, as bolstering Trump's outsider image, said Onishi. But it has gone mostly unnoticed that Vance is a radical religious politician, even more so than former Vice President Mike Pence. “Vance's Catholicism has barely registered as a driving factor in his political profile, and yet it serves as an interpretive key for understanding why Vance was chosen and how he brings a populist radicalism to a potential second Trump presidency — and a direct link to Project 2025,” he said.The UC Berkeley event was sponsored by the Endowed Fund for the Study of Religious Tolerance, the Berkeley Center for the Study of Religion, the Center for Race and Gender, the Institute for the Study of Societal Issues, Social Science Matrix and the Center for Right-Wing Studies.Listen to the episode and read the transcript on UC Berkeley News (news.berkeley.edu/podcasts/berkeley-talks).Photo by Gage Skidmore via Flickr.Music by Blue Dot Sessions.

Here's the Left of Lansing "Friday Short" for September 6, 2024. This week, New York Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein to the woodshed for Stein's predatory political maneuvering every four years.  AOC rightly notes how Stein is only out there for her own brand and exposure, while never doing anything to help her party grow on a local and state level. It's almost as if Jill Stein's running to hurt the very people she claims to be fighting for.  Actually, she is hurting the very people she claims to represent.  Thank you, AOC! 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 Jill Stein Photo: "Jill Stein" by Gage Skidmore is licensed under CC BY-SA 2.0.

The entry of Vice President Kamala Harris into the 2024 presidential race has energized and invigorated millions of American women. Could it be the culmination of a societal shift that some people saw coming thirty or more years ago? In 1993 author, speaker, and political candidate Marianne Williamson wrote about the changing landscape of American society in a book called A Woman's Worth, in which she sought to clarify the critical role women could, and should, play in driving the betterment of our world. In this 1993 interview Williamson shares her vision for the future of women in America.

We recorded this episode coming out of the most intense 8 days in American politics in a generation. A week and a day after an assassination attempt nearly felled former President Donald Trump, President Joe Biden announced that he was abandoning his bid for reelection, and endorsing his Vice President, Kamala Harris.Political data expert Paul Mitchell has been polling Biden's support in California since the president's disastrous debate performance on June 27. The numbers were not pretty for Dems, with Biden underperforming his 2020 results, and appearing to create a drag on support for Dem candidates across the board. Would another candidate be stronger?  On Friday, that was a hypothetical question, but no more.With Kamala Harris the leading candidate for the nomination, we asked Paul what the earlier polling indicates about Dem enthusiasm, voter enthusiasm and how a change at the top of the ticket may effect other races. Also, will the VP pick bear more weight than usual given the historic nature of the circumstances? Will this be a candidate-driven or issue-driven election? And, what is the technical process for a change at the top of the ticket this late in the game?All that, plus Who Had the Worst Week in California Politics.Want to support the Capitol Weekly Podcast?

Chassidy Jade is an editor, producer and director who has made monumental strides in the entertainment industry. What's impeccable about Chassidy is all the different initiatives she's set into motion. With her desire to make opportunities in post-production more accessible, her success in various entrepreneurial pursuits and career, as a whole, is all about hustle, willpower, staying excellent and taking risks. As a creative reppin' Memphis, Tennessee, and Miami, Florida, we get to talk about the vibrancy of Black creativity in Memphis and how one of her first big jobs came to be, editing and producing recaps on tour with Chris Brown right after college, which was an opportunity that presented itself after she and her roommate started crashing sets and meeting people in the industry. This risky move gave her a pivotal skill in the area of editing, one that she still prides herself on today. Chassidy has already made history as the first Black woman senior lead editor for the NBA. An opportunity she says inspired her to help kick open doors for others, like her involvement with Charlotte-based Black Girls Film Camp and in starting Editbae Post, her very own post-production company. We also get to talk about the creation of Crown Me Royal Labs, her production company that began as an outpouring of appreciation for visual artists, dancers, designers and art. Chassidy's other credits include Dear Mama, Creed III, Savage x Fenty Show Vol. 4 and Everything Everywhere All at Once.

So excited to share this episode with you! It's with editor Sean Linal! What makes this conversation so interesting is the way it exemplifies the power of intention and leveraging one's purpose. Sean's been a part of shows that have impacted the culture in many ways. He was an editor on Ava DuVernay's Queen Sugar and Lena Waithe's The Chi and we get to talk about the experiences and avenues that led to those roles as well as his overall journey into post-production.Like most professionals in creative industries, Sean's love for film manifested itself at an early age. It was the NAACP ACT-SO program that gave Sean early agency to really explore his interest. At the age of 16, a film he made on homelessness on the subway earned him substantial accolades and money towards film school.We discuss how crucial it is to be proactive, the best attributes for an assistant editor to acquire and uncover how Sean's early experiences really illustrate how local organizations can provide a wealth of resources and access for creatives. Some of Sean's other credits include The Cleaning Lady, All Rise, David Makes Man, Jay-Z feat. Beyoncé: Family Feud (music video), Teen Wolf, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, The Amazing Race and Survivor. Stay tuned for more episodes of Post In Black's third season as we continue to amplify the stories and experiences of Black professionals working in post-production. Look out for new episodes every second and fourth Wednesday.

With no supporting information, Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD) claimed tribal leaders in her state are “personally benefiting” from the presence of drug cartels. While campaigning for re-election, Gov. Kevin Stitt (R-OK) warned about tribes setting up “abortion-on-demand” clinics to subvert the states new abortion laws. No Oklahoma tribe expressed any intention of setting up clinics. We'll examine the fallout from such unfounded claims by high-ranking officials and what recourse tribal officials have to counter them. GUESTS Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr. (Cherokee Nation) Frank Star Comes Out (Oglala Lakota), president of the Oglala Sioux Tribe Ryman LeBeau (Cheyenne River Lakota), chairman of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Richard Monette (Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians), professor of law at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Law School

In Berkeley Talks episode 193, science fiction writer Kim Stanley Robinson discusses climate change, politics and the need for "angry optimism." Robinson is the author of 22 novels, including his most recent, The Ministry of the Future, published in 2020. "It's a fighting position — angry optimism — and you need it," he said at a UC Berkeley event in January, in conversation with English professor Katherine Snyder and Daniel Aldana Cohen, assistant professor of sociology and director of the Sociospatial Climate Collaborative. "A couple of days ago, somebody talked about The Ministry for the Future being a pedagogy of hope. And I was thinking, 'Oh, that's nice.' Not just, why should you hope? Because you need to — to stay alive and all these other reasons you need hope. But also, it's strategically useful. "And then, how to hope in the situation that we're in, which is filled with dread and filled with people fighting with wicked strength to wreck the earth and human chances in it. "The political battle is not going to be everybody coming together and going, 'Oh, my gosh, we've got a problem, let's solve it.' It's more like some people saying, 'Oh, my gosh, we've got a problem that we have to solve,' and other people going, 'No, we don't have a problem.' "They'll say that right down over the cliff. They'll be falling to their death going, 'No problem here because I'm going to heaven and you're not, or whatever.' Nobody will ever admit they're wrong. They will die. And then the next generation will have a new structure of feeling."In the meantime, how to keep your hope going, how to put it to use … I think all novels have a little of this, and then Ministry is just more explicit."
