Republican Primary Winner Matt Van Epps will face Democrat Aftyn Behn December 2nd in the General Election for U.S. Representative for the TN-07 Congressional District. Matt Van Epps returns to Inside Politics to answer more question from host Ben Hall. Van Epps says his experience in the military and small business while still serving National Guard helped him win the primary. Van Epps says his goals if elected will be multifaceted. "Driving down the cost of living, driving our economy, decreasing inflation are all incredibly important and will be a priority on day one." He will also prioritize the military and veterans. "The first bill will be a bill for veterans." He also answered questions about his allegiance to Donald Trump and a possible 3rd term as president, the impact of tariffs on Tennessee farmers, his view on the Epstein files, ACA subsides and SNAP benefits. When asked about his war chest and PAC money, he said he is honored by the support.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Anna Holligan, Journalist in the Hague, reports on the General Election in the Netherlands.

In this episode we talk to Madeleine Johansson of Red Network. Madeleine moved from Sweden to Ireland in the 2000s where she became active with the Socialist Workers' Party (SWP) and People Before Profit (PBP). She was a party organiser and director of elections for the 2016 General Election campaign in Dublin Mid-West, subsequently co-opted on to South Dublin County Council in 2016, and returned in the 2019 and 2024 local elections. Madeleine was a founding member of Red Network, which was formed in 2021 within People Before Profit before becoming an independent party in 2025. She is the author of Class War – Not Culture War (2025) and Reform or Revolution – Sweden, Socialism and The Welfare State (2022), available from the Red Network website. We discuss Madeleine's early political experience and the contrast between Sweden and Ireland; her work as an activist and organiser with SWP during the austerity years and campaigns against household charges, property tax and water charges; her experience as a local councillor and the particular challenge of the housing crisis; the formation of Red Network and the political differences that led them to leave People Before Profit; and her position on the politics of class, identity politics, reform and revolution. You'll find more details of Red Network's politics on their website at rednetwork.net.

Clare's Minister of State is not any expecting any sudden challenge to the Taoiseach's leadership. It's understood that 10 members of the Fianna Fáil parliamentary party have signed a document seeking a no confidence motion in Micheál Martin, where 12 are required. Party officials at Fianna Fáil have darwn up an alleged 'rebel' list of those who oppose the Taoiseach's reign, which includes TDs James O'Connor, Paudie O'Sullivan, Seamus McGrath, John Lahart, Erin McGreehan, John McGuinness and Peter Chap Cleere. There's a separate list detailing the "old guard" of Willie O'Dea, Pat 'The Cope' Gallagher and Seán O'Fearghail, who are not behind any heave, but would reportedly welcome change. The developments have been sparked by the Jim Gavin presidential debacle, and now many political analysts are touting Justice Minister Jim O'Callaghan as the potential successor. However, Tulla based Minister Timmy Dooley can't see anyone stepping up in the current climate. Micheál Martin has been at the helm of Fianna Fáil for 14 years now, which is the joint second longest reign at the party, tied with Bertie Ahern and only beaten by Éamon De Valera who was in office for 33 years. Despite the controversey of recent weeks, Clare Fianna Fáil TD Cathal Crowe insists that Martin's leadership is not in question and that he intends to lead the party into the next General Election.

Recently, the Labour Party have unveiled their capital gains tax (CGT) policy. The policy only targets properties, with the exception of family homes, and farms. The tax policy, according to Labour, will supply all New Zealanders with three free doctor visits yearly. For our weekly catch up with the Green Party's Ricardo Menéndez March, News and Editorial Director Joel spoke to him about Labour's CGT policy, and what the Green's think of it. They also discussed the funding cuts for the Māori news organisation's Te Karere and The Hui, as well as how the Green Party will be campaigning 1 year out from the next general election. But first, they discussed Labour's CGT policy.

Democratic Primary Winner Rep. Aftyn Behn will face Republican Matt Van Epps Dec. 2nd in the General Election for U.S. Representative for theTN-07 Congressional District. Aftyn Behn returns to Inside Politics to answer more questions from host Ben Hall. Behn touts her campaign as "grassroots energy and not taking Corporate PAC money." She considers herself an angry social worker who will fight for Tennesseans. Behn said, "This race is not about left vs right but top vs. bottom." She is running to "make life affordable for Tennesseans and reverse cuts from the Big Ugly Bill." Behn says her main priority if elected will be increasing wages, decreasing costs and ensuring and improving our quality of life in Tennessee. She will work to bring back ACA Marketplace subsides for over 600,000 Tennesseans, restore TennCare, and roll back tariffs that are squeezing farmers to bankruptcy. Behn says, "If you think things are going well, I'm not your candidate. If you are upset with the cost of living and the chaos of our federal and state government, then I am your candidate because I will go to Washington to fix it.

Hour 1 - Voting in the General Election is underway in Sedgwick County.

Parliament convened in September, but a familiar face from the previous term wasn’t there. Progress Singapore Party’s secretary-general Leong Mun Wai was a notable presence as a Non-Constituency MP during the 14th term of Parliament, sometimes having heated exchanges with ministers and PAP MPs. But he and fellow party member Hazel Poa did not retain their NCMP spots following the General Election in May. Their PSP team for West Coast-Jurong West GRC lost to the PAP slate, which won the five-man GRC with 59.99 per cent of the vote to PSP’s 40.01 per cent. In this episode of The Usual Place, I speak with Mr Leong about steering the party in its next phase post-GE2025 and the challenges of not being in Parliament. How will PSP evolve its practices and policy communications without a Parliamentary presence, and remain relevant? Highlights (click/tap above): 4:06 Increasing online presence to explain party positions 6:05 Mr Leong on heated exchanges as NCMP 10:45 How PSP will explain its policy ideas to the public post-GE2025 19:19 What will PSP really stand for "after Dr Tan Cheng Bock"? 20:20 Wanting to lead national conversation on economy 22:55 How does PSP stand out differently from other parties? 25:00 Will PSP move beyond the electro west? 28:00 "I learnt a very hard lesson about the powerful PAP machinery": Mr Leong Read Natasha Ann Zachariah’s articles: https://str.sg/iSXm Follow The Usual Place podcast on IG: https://www.instagram.com/theusualplacepodcast Follow Natasha on LinkedIn: https://str.sg/v6DN Filmed by: Studio+65 Edited by: Teo Tong Kai and Chen Junyi Executive producers: Danson Cheong, Elizabeth Khor & Ernest Luis Editorial producer: Lynda Hong Follow The Usual Place Podcast and get notified for new episode drops every Thursday: Channel: https://str.sg/5nfm Apple Podcasts: https://str.sg/9ijX Spotify: https://str.sg/cd2P YouTube: https://str.sg/theusualplacepodcast Feedback to: podcast@sph.com.sg SPH Awedio app: https://www.awedio.sg --- Follow more ST podcast channels: All-in-one ST Podcasts channel: https://str.sg/wvz7 Get more updates: http://str.sg/stpodcasts The Usual Place Podcast YouTube: https://str.sg/4Vwsa --- Get The Straits Times app, which has a dedicated podcast player section: The App Store: https://str.sg/icyB Google Play: https://str.sg/icyX -- #tup #tuptrSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Democratic Alliance, DA In Gauteng has raised fresh concerns over the legality of the Gauteng Traffic Warden unit, known as "AmaPanyaza." The DA is demanding that Premier Panyaza Lesufi clarify whether the unit complies with the South African Police Service Act, citing its lack of accreditation and inadequate training for wardens. The party claims the programme, launched just before the 2024 General Elections, lacks a clear budget and defined roles, posing risks to wardens' safety. The DA also accuses Lesufi of misleading the public during the 2024 State of the Province Address, where he claimed over 6,000 wardens were permanently employed. In a recent response in the Gauteng Provincial Legislature, Lesufi admitted wardens still require further training to secure permanent positions as peace officers. Elvis Presslin spoke to Solly Msimanga, Member of Provincial Legislature and Leader of the DA in Gauteng

Special guest Sam Freedman, discusses the week's big stories with Alex, Naomi, and Kenny. Is there a future for the Conservative Party? Is there a future IN the Conservative Party. Should they stick with Badenoch, or twist and risk the - incredibly - LESS likeable, Jenrick? AND - Is France basically ungovernable now? Our favourite Chevalier, Olivier Morel, talks us through the latest drama. PLUS - with a deal on Gaza close, the repercussions for Jews globally may take much longer to heal. INCLUDING - a very funny (and surprisingly angry) 'Wokey Dokey'. ***SPONSOR US AT ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠*** “For a long time the Tories have depended on ‘the party in the media', as it is often called, to maintain their relationship with their base - the Mail and Telegraph in particular, because organisations like the BBC often take their cue from them. Losing those papers to Reform is very dangerous.” “The party is already where [Jenrick] wants it, because basically he's been shadow-leading the Tories, and it hasn't helped their poll ratings. Also, he focus-groups really badly. Even voters who agree with him dislike him. So, I don't think he is the answer to the party's problems.” “We are roughly the same distance from Labour having to call a General Election, as we are from the last pandemic lockdown. Try to conceive of that amount of stuff still to happen. For me, it's far too soon to predict how the next election will shape up.” “When challenged about the consequences of leaving the ECHR for the wider EU trade agreement Badenoch said that she could give notice to leave it all behind. Best for Britain polling shows that this plays very badly with voters who have not abandoned the Tories for Reform - and who tend to be more moderate.” “All political parties in France are behaving as if they have a majority and deserve to implement their programme. I have heard several leaders adopting a very grave tone and saying now is the time to compromise, but they mean everyone else must compromise. This is making France ungovernable.” “Will Macron resign? I think it's not in his DNA to do that at all. And on the international stage, he still believes he has a big role to play. Against that, Macron is facing criticism and even calls to resign from loyalists within his own camp and this is new.” “Whether this plan succeeds depends directly on how much pressure Trump puts on Netanyahu. the Israelis will be at the negotiation with the objective of changing the terms in a way that forces Hamas to say ‘no'.” “I have never known the Jewish community to be so divided over Israel. The sheer violence of what's happened in Gaza has pushed a lot of people into a very uncomfortable position of believing in Israel as an idea but being horrified by what the current gov't is doing.” CALLS TO ACTION: Sam's substack can be found here.

A marathon Parliament session unfolded last week, as MPs debated the President’s Address over five days. A total of 81 MPs spoke in support of the motion, including the 32 newly elected members who delivered their maiden speeches. They raised issues ranging from job and wage anxieties to bridging the wealth inequality gap and the disruption caused by artificial intelligence (AI). In this episode of The Usual Place, I spoke with Workers’ Party MPs Fadli Fawzi and Kenneth Tiong about their Parliament debut. I chatted with both Aljunied GRC MPs about their speeches, and what life has been like after the 2025 General Election.

Will Con Inc. once again misdirect the base's energy for reform into supporting an unreformed Republican Party vs. Democrats in the general election, in an ill-fated bid to win the entire country, when, in fact, much of it is lost? We're joined by Wyoming activist Darcie Gudger, who explains how a lack of education in primaries has led to Wyoming becoming a RINO haven. The state is under a multi-front assault on its land and beauty at the hands of the green grift, data centers, and transmission lines created to power California. We rely on ranchers in Wyoming for affordable, healthy beef, yet ranchers are disappearing. We're making some headway against liberal Republicans, but they continue to dominate in state and local government because Con Inc. refuses to get involved. Multiply Wyoming's dynamic by 20+ other red states, and you will understand why there is such a disconnect between conservative social media bravado and the lack of boots on the ground in red states fighting for policy outcomes Learn more about your ad choices.

MDJ Script/ Top Stories for September 17th Publish Date:  September 17th    Commercial: From the BG Ad Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Wednesday, September 17th and Happy Birthday to Hank Williams I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Cobb elections director not to return after leave Sawyer Road Elementary celebrates 20 years with $7.7M renovation reveal Three arrested, charged in east Cobb Waffle House fight All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  BREAK: INGLES 1 STORY 1: Cobb elections director not to return after leave  After less than two years on the job, Cobb County Elections Director Tate Fall is stepping down—for good. Fall, who came to Cobb from Arlington County, Virginia, was appointed in late 2023 and has since overseen nine elections, including the 2024 General Election. But last month, she requested leave, and now it’s official: she won’t be back. In her absence, Michael D’Itri, a longtime county employee and Elections Prep Center manager, has stepped in as acting director. Why is Fall leaving? The county isn’t saying, and Fall herself hasn’t commented. STORY 2: Sawyer Road Elementary celebrates 20 years with $7.7M renovation reveal  Sawyer Road Elementary just hit the big 2-0, and it’s looking better than ever. Thanks to a $7.7 million renovation, the school got a serious glow-up—new floors, ceilings, lighting, windows, paint, and even a revamped media center. The upgrades, funded by the E-SPLOST VI program, were unveiled Monday during a ribbon-cutting ceremony. “This isn’t just fresh paint and new windows,” said board member Kerry Minervini. “It’s an investment in our kids’ futures.” Fifth-grader Adamary Lopez-Cisneros summed it up perfectly: “It’s like watching your house get remodeled. It feels special—like they care about us.” And honestly? It shows. STORY 3: Three arrested, charged in east Cobb Waffle House fight It was chaos at a Waffle House on Sandy Plains Road last week, and now all three suspects involved in the early-morning brawl have been arrested, according to Cobb County jail records. Sammy Dodd, 17, of Ball Ground, and Daniel Riley, 18, of Calhoun, are accused of climbing the counter, kicking plates, and assaulting a staff member—leaving him bruised and cut, with pain in his chest and back. Oh, and they allegedly broke 24 plates in the process. Blake Talley-Stewart, 17, of Roswell, reportedly threw a plate of food and a drink into the fray. All three face misdemeanor charges, with bonds ranging from $1,870 to $5,720. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info.  We’ll be right back. Break: INGLES 1 STORY 4: UPDATE: Cobb teachers on administrative leave for 'unacceptable comments' on Kirk shooting The Cobb County School District is investigating “unacceptable” social media posts by educators about the shooting death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Some posts, according to the district, appeared to celebrate his death—a claim that’s sparked outrage. Nan Kiel, the district’s spokesperson, confirmed that employees involved have been placed on administrative leave. “They won’t be in classrooms or interacting with students,” she said, adding that the district will report the matter to Georgia’s ethics board for educators. Jeff Hubbard, president of the Cobb County Association of Educators, urged teachers to pause before posting online. Other Georgia employers, like Delta and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, have also fired or suspended workers over similar comments. STORY 5: Georgia Bureau of Investigation promotes Mableton resident The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has promoted Mableton resident Kimberly Jewett to lead the Trace Evidence Section of its Crime Lab—a big step for someone who’s been with the GBI since 2009. Jewett, who started as a trace evidence scientist, has worked on everything from hair analysis to gunshot residue. Now, she’ll oversee the section’s staff and operations. A University of West Georgia grad (biology, cum laude), Jewett is also an instructor for the GBI Resiliency Program. Her leadership? It’s already making waves. Break: STORY 6: Former Republican, Duncan, running for governor as Democrat  In a twist no one saw coming, former Republican Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan is running for Georgia governor—as a Democrat. His campaign? All about financial stability and dialing down the political chaos. In a YouTube video posted Monday, Duncan didn’t hold back, calling out Donald Trump as an extremist and wearing Trump’s criticism like “a badge of honor.” Duncan’s been on Trump’s bad side since rejecting his 2020 election claims and writing GOP 2.0, a book urging Republicans to move past Trumpism. Now, he’s taking on big issues: child care costs, families struggling to afford medicine, and, of course, political moderation. Duncan joins a crowded Democratic primary with Jason Esteves, Keisha Lance Bottoms, and Michael Thurmond. Meanwhile, the GOP race is heating up between Trump-endorsed Lt. Gov. Burt Jones and Attorney General Chris Carr. STORY 7: UPDATE: 16-year-old charged in Mableton killing  A 16-year-old has been arrested for allegedly killing 17-year-old David Daniel at a Mableton home Saturday evening, Cobb Police said. Officers were called to a house on Milam Creek Road around 5:41 p.m. for a medical emergency. They found David on the front porch, suffering from a stab wound to his left torso. He was rushed to the hospital but didn’t make it. The suspect, whose name hasn’t been released, was arrested without much incident and charged with felony murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a knife during a crime. Mableton Mayor Michael Owens called the loss “heartbreaking,” urging the community to support David’s family and Pebblebrook High School, where he was a student. The investigation is ongoing, and police are asking anyone with information to come forward. We’ll have closing comments after this.

It was a new dawn. Or at least so Tony Blair said, as he emerged from his landslide victory in the 1997 General Election. It's what he would say, isn't it?Still, there was some truth to the claim. It was the end of eighteen years of Conservative rule. Eleven of them had been under the Iron lady, Maggie Thatcher. And whatever her achievements, she had certainly been the most divisive leader since the Second World War, as she made clear by explicitly breaking with the consensus politics that had marked the postwar scene up to her. It was also revealed in the deeply divided reactions to her death in 2013, with tributes from some (including Tony Blair) and celebration (Ding-dong, the witch is dead) from others.She'd been followed by John Major, in a government marked above all by division within his own party, as well as some blunders. Also marked, however, by one big breakthrough: the beginning of a peace process in Northern Ireland which he couldn't take through to completion, but which got some momentum behind it all the same.That's the theme the episode concludes with, because it fell to Tony Blair's government to take that process forward. Its work would lead to the Good Friday Agreement of 1998. That would only be possible thanks to the unflagging support of the governments in both Dublin and London and, indeed, in Washington DC.As well as to the courage and willingness to go out on a limb of an extraordinary woman, the first female Northern Ireland Secretary and someone of outstanding firmness of will combined with willingness to negotiate to anyone she needed to win around. And who was she?Why, she was Mo Mowlam.Illustration: Mo Mowlam.

In this episode, I'm sharing a story from my blog about how neighboring cities shape each other and the surprising ways that history still affects us today. I dive into Lacey's journey to cityhood, from its rivalry with Olympia in the 1960s over annexation and boundaries, to its push north in the 1980s to grow into undeveloped areas like Hawks Prairie. Along the way, I explore how city boundaries have never been neutral, they've historically shaped wealth, services, and political power, often in ways that entrench inequality. I also discuss modern implications, including Lacey's recent studies on annexing older unincorporated neighborhoods and how financial and service considerations continue to drive decisions. And I touch on a broader idea: what if independent boards, rather than city governments themselves, managed city boundaries to focus on efficiency, equity, and community planning? Finally, I'm excited to share how the podcast is expanding to cover local school district and city council races, bringing in new voices, but the same policy-focused perspective to elections that shape our communities today.

Nigel Farage Has Already Won the Next Election | Reform UK Surging Nigel Farage claims victory before a single vote is cast. #NigelFarage #ReformUK #UKElection #JonGaunt #GeneralElection #UKPolitics #GeneralElection Nigel Farage claims victory before a single vote is cast — Reform UK's surge is shaking Britain's political establishment to its core. At the GB News launch party in Washington, D.C., Farage boasted he will win the next UK General Election and take the keys to No.10.] Fresh from roasting Congress over freedom of speech and speaking with Donald Trump in the Oval Office, Farage says Reform UK is the only party offering real answers while Labour and the Tories collapse into chaos. The polls tell the story. Voters have had enough of the old parties — copying Farage's policies hasn't saved them. People want authenticity, not cheap imitations. On illegal migration, migrant hotels, and the growing sense that Starmer backs everyone but the British public, Farage has seized the ground. Add the Angela Rayner tax scandal and her refusal to resign, and it's clear: Britain's political class is finished. Reform UK is rising — and Farage says he's already won. What do you think? Let Jon Gaunt know. #NigelFarage #ReformUK #UKElection #GeneralElection #BritishPolitics #UKPolitics #Farage #ReformParty #UKNews #PoliticalNews #KeirStarmer #AngelaRayner #MigrationCrisis #BritishElections #RupertLowe #BenHabib #TrumpAndFarage Tags Nigel Farage, Reform UK, UK Election, General Election, Jon Gaunt, British Politics, UK Politics, Farage, Reform Party, UK News, Political News, Election, Keir Starmer, Angela Rayner, Migration Crisis, British Elections, Farage, Trump and Farage, Ben Habib, Rupert Lowe, Trump This video is a politics blog and social commentary by award winning talk radio star, Jon Gaunt

How Singapore can truly be a ‘we first’ society. Synopsis: Join Natasha Ann Zachariah at The Usual Place every Thursday as she unpacks the latest current affairs with guests. “It’s not ‘I’ or ‘me’. It’s ‘we’. To keep Singapore going, we must be a ‘we first’ society.” This was Prime Minister Lawrence Wong’s rallying call to strengthen the Singaporean Spirit – to put the welfare of the community ahead of individual interest. It came towards the end of his National Day Rally address on Aug 17, perhaps as a reminder that the way forward is not only paved by policies meant to fix problems. PM Wong’s first NDR speech after the 2025 General Election emphasised that “when the whole is strong, each of us becomes stronger too”. This message built on what was put forth during the Forward Singapore exercise – launched by the country’s fourth-generation team of political leaders – to refresh Singapore’s social compact and build a shared future. But how does this rallying call resonate with Singaporeans? In this episode of The Usual Place, Natasha hosts Dr Rebecca Grace Tan, a political science lecturer at the National University of Singapore, and Mr Jeremy Tan, who ran as an independent candidate for Mountbatten SMC at GE2025. They chat about PM Wong’s style of governance, and why he emphasised that Singapore needs to be a “we first” society to keep going. Highlights (click/tap above): 4:34 Why Jeremy wanted PM Wong to give Singaporeans the “bitter medicine” 7:45 Were the expectations of big announcements warranted? 9:18 “The disconnect is something that needs to be addressed”: Jeremy 16:15 Does PM Wong’s style of delegating announcements to his colleagues work? 21:00 PM Wong’s rally call dichotomy: Empowering Singaporeans, yet slightly paternalistic? 28:06 The big question about PM Wong’s We First message: What can be the new approach?

Today's Headlines: President Trump announced a plan to send weapons to Ukraine via NATO and threatened 100% tariffs on Russia—or “secondary tariffs” on countries buying Russian oil—if a ceasefire isn't reached in 50 days. Meanwhile, Elon Musk's xAI secured a $200M Defense Department contract days after Grok declared itself “MechaHitler” and spewed antisemitic content. The Supreme Court paused an order blocking 1,400 layoffs at the Education Department, just as 24 states and D.C. sued the Trump administration over $7B in frozen education funds. The administration is also appealing a court order banning immigration arrests without probable cause, even as ICE agents express deep dissatisfaction with the politically driven deportation focus. In Congress, Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez proposed giving the ethics office power to review lawmakers' cognitive fitness. And in New York, Andrew Cuomo—undeterred by his primary loss—launched an independent bid for mayor, joining a crowded field for November's ballot.
