Shadow Politics with Senator Michael D. Brown Remembering Barney Frank: Shadow Politics Replays a Conversation on Democracy, DC Statehood, Reform, and Public Service Michael D. Brown Opens with a Tribute to Barney Frank In this episode of Shadow Politics, Former Shadow Senator Michael D. Brown opens by explaining that the program will not take live calls because it is replaying a special interview with Congressman Barney Frank. Brown says Frank had recently passed away and describes him as an important Democratic stalwart whose public service spanned decades. He frames the replay as a tribute to Frank's life, career, intellect, humor, and long support for democratic representation, including DC statehood. Revisiting the 2022 Interview The replayed interview comes from a 2022 edition of Shadow Politics, hosted by Michael D. Brown with then co-host Marília Duffles. Brown introduces Barney Frank as a legendary former member of the U.S. House of Representatives who served from 1981 to 2013, chaired the House Financial Services Committee, and was a leading co-sponsor of the Dodd-Frank Act. Brown also notes Frank's status as one of the most prominent openly gay politicians in the United States and thanks him for his early support of DC voting rights and statehood. DC Statehood and Representation Brown begins the interview by recalling a previous backstage encounter with Barney Frank, Tom Harkin, and Bill Clinton in Iowa, where Frank and Harkin jokingly debated who supported DC statehood first. Frank discusses his long support for giving the District of Columbia representation and notes the irony that states with smaller populations than DC can help block the District's path to full rights. Brown connects that issue to the filibuster and the difficulty of advancing statehood legislation in the Senate. The Economy, Inflation, and the Midterms The conversation then turns to the economy and the 2022 midterm elections. Brown asks whether Democrats were doomed because of inflation and economic frustration. Frank says Democrats were in trouble politically, but argues that inflation was a worldwide issue tied to energy, the war in Ukraine, and global economic pressures rather than simply the fault of President Biden or Democrats. He also notes that despite inflation, the economy had strong areas, including low unemployment and wage growth among lower-income workers. Dodd-Frank and Financial Reform Marília Duffles asks whether the Dodd-Frank Act actually made the financial system safer or simply created more regulatory complexity. Frank defends the law, saying it worked well and helped prevent a financial crisis during the severe disruption of the pandemic. He explains that the law was broad because it combined what could have been many separate bills into one package, largely because of Senate filibuster realities. He also says major financial leaders had since acknowledged that the law was functioning effectively and did not require major changes. LGBTQ Rights, Race, and Social Progress Brown asks whether LGBTQ rights were under greater attack in the country. Frank replies that gay people have always faced attacks, but argues that conditions for LGBTQ Americans had improved dramatically over the decades, especially regarding marriage equality and general social acceptance. He says transgender rights remained more contested, but expresses optimism because younger generations are far more supportive. Frank also contrasts progress on LGBTQ issues with what he sees as more troubling regression on race, especially after the weakening of the Voting Rights Act. Democratic Politics, Young Voters, and Biden The interview also covers President Biden's standing with voters, especially young people. Frank says Biden could do more on student loan debt and marijuana policy, both of which he believes matter to younger voters. However, he also argues that Biden and congressional Democrats accomplished a great deal despite having only 50 Democratic senators. Frank says frustration often comes from voters expecting more than the political reality allows, especially when senators such as Joe Manchin limit what can pass. Ukraine, Putin, and Global Democracy Marília raises the war in Ukraine and asks whether the United States could do more to help. Frank praises Biden's handling of the crisis, especially his ability to build and maintain a broad coalition of European and allied nations against Russia. He compares Putin's aggression to earlier authoritarian expansion and says Biden's coalition-building has been a strong example of foreign policy leadership. Brown then asks whether Russia, China, India, North Korea, and other authoritarian or illiberal forces could form a dangerous bloc, and Frank says the democratic response today is stronger than the weak response to Hitler in the 1930s. Reparations, Harvard, and Institutional Responsibility Brown asks about Harvard and other universities committing money or institutional efforts toward reparations or recognition of slavery's legacy. Frank says universities such as Harvard and Georgetown are acknowledging that they directly benefited from slavery and related exploitation, making those efforts a form of deferred payment or responsibility for services and labor that helped build those institutions. On national reparations, he says the policy is more complicated, but he supports strong efforts to address the economic damage caused by slavery, racism, and later discrimination. Political Polarization and the Loss of Collegiality The interview closes with reflections on Congress, political polarization, and public service. Marília asks about the decline of substance, civility, and intelligence in politics. Frank says collegiality has collapsed and that more extreme elements have gained influence, partly because reasonable voters often withdraw from the process while extremists show up in primaries. He argues that voters must punish destructive behavior if they want it to end. Frank also reflects on missing the people of Congress, especially talented staff and colleagues, while enjoying the reduced stress of retirement. Closing Tribute The replay ends with Brown thanking Barney Frank and dedicating a closing song to him, describing Frank as someone he admired during and after his time in Congress. The current episode's tribute framing gives the interview added weight: it presents Frank not only as a policymaker, but as a sharp, funny, principled public servant who spoke clearly about democracy, equality, reform, representation, and the responsibilities of political life.

Plus Carolyn Bourdeau's seems to dislike her party's gerrymandering response; why? And FRIDAY FUNNIES w/Sterling ThrillNew - and shocking - Democratic gubernatorial polling shows Keisha Lance Bottoms mightn't need worry about a run-off. The Insider Advantage polling of 800 likely Georgia voters (likely split in half by party affiliation but they gave us no in tabs) has Bottoms netting 52% of likely Democratic party voters with only 14% undecided - meaning if correct, there'd be no run-off. It also shows a neck-and-neck race for the GOP nod with Rick "the ick" Jackson and Burt Jones but Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger actually within striking distance and few undecideds there, too. I'm skeptical. - - - Meanwhile, Democrat and former Congresswoman Carolyn Bourdeaux didn't race to pen an op/ed when Trump coaxed mid-decade gerrymanders in red states but is now bemoaning it all now that Democrats have responded. She, Joe Manchin & Kyrsten Sinema should gather for a meal or something. PLUS: my Friday Funnies therapy sesh with good friend, comedian Sterling Thrill.

In this episode, I chat with Don Moynihan, professor of public policy at the University of Michigan and author of the widely-read Substack newsletter Can We Still Govern? Don's research focuses on administrative burdens—the learning, compliance, and psychological costs people experience when interacting with government—and how those frictions shape public trust. We talk about the data challenges involved in measuring these experiences, how the shift to digital services changes the picture, and why governments historically have ignored the costs they impose on the people they serve. We also get into Don's own journey as a public communicator: how a rejected op-ed about Joe Manchin and the child tax credit sparked his newsletter, what it took to retrain himself to write for a general audience, and how he thinks about balancing timeliness with depth. If you're a researcher wondering whether public communication is worth the risk—or just curious about what makes government work (or not)—this one is for you.Keywordsadministrative burden, public policy, government services, bureaucracy, policy communication, Substack newsletter, academic writing, public administration, government trust, policy research, data visualization, civic engagement, open government, policy podcastSubscribe to the PolicyViz Podcast wherever you get your podcasts.Become a patron of the PolicyViz Podcast for as little as a buck a monthRead Don's newsletter Can We Still Govern?Follow me on Instagram, LinkedIn, Substack, Twitter, Website, YouTubeEmail: jon@policyviz.com
Chris Cuomo brings together key moments from this week's Cuomo Mornings on SiriusXM, featuring conversations with Representative Ryan Zinke (R-MT) and former Senator Joe Manchin (I-WV), along with calls from listeners reacting to America's growing conflict with Iran. Zinke argues the threat remains urgent, warning that Iran's nuclear capability and stated intent make it dangerous to step back too soon. Cuomo presses whether continued involvement can realistically eliminate that threat—or if the U.S. risks getting pulled deeper into a conflict with no clear end. Manchin focuses on the endgame, arguing that any lasting solution depends on regional partners and that the U.S. cannot stay indefinitely or attempt to control Iran's future. Callers challenge the case for continued conflict, question how foreign policy connects to issues at home, and raise frustrations about government spending, political priorities, and accountability.

Former West Virginia Governor and Senator Joe Manchin discusses hisrecent book Dead Center: In Defense of Common Sense, how the Democratslost working class voters, how he was able to win in a Red State, ourpartisan divide, his defense of the filibuster, and much more.
In today's episode, we sit down with former U.S. Senator Joe Manchin for a powerful conversation about his book Dead Center — a book he describes as both a memoir and a manifesto for bringing common sense back to American politics. Manchin shares his concerns about where the Democratic Party is headed. We also talk about why he believes the “center” is where solutions are born, what it means to put people before party, and how respect, responsibility, and compassion can break through the bitterness and tribalism dividing our nation. This episode suggests that there is hope that still exists for a healthier, more unified political future. You may not agree with all of his politics – but there is much to be said about puttingaside “sound bites” and having real conversations.

Joe Manchin grew up in the coal fields of West Virginia, the grandson of a miner and the son of a small-town grocer. His worldview was shaped by a place where energy isn't an abstract policy debate; it's the identity of the community and vital for economic survival. Manchin was portrayed as a bit of a villain in liberal circles for his role in blocking or slowing down Biden-era policy goals, including climate policy. Yet he was also the architect of the biggest climate legislation the country has ever enacted: the Inflation Reduction Act. Now, in the midst of the Trump administration dismantling climate policy and basic political norms, Manchin is calling for a return to compromise and “common sense.” Episode Guests: Joe Manchin, Former US Senator, West Virginia Thomas Ramey, Commercial and Nonprofit Solar Evaluator, Solar Holler For show notes and related links, visit ClimateOne.org Highlights: 00:00 - Intro 05:27 - Joe Manchin on his first senate run 10:42 - Joe Manchin on Build Back Better 19:26 - Joe Manchin on how the Inflation Reduction Act was written 22:51 - Joe Manchin on the dismantling of the IRA 27:21 - Joe Manchin on the effects of climate 31:02 - Joe Manchin on West Virginia's transition to clean energy 37:10 - Joe Manchin on the state of the country 38:10 - Joe Manchin on how to make the country better 42:56 - Joe Manchin on working together 44:20 - Thomas Ramey on growing up in West Virginia 50:08 - Thomas Ramey on how he talks about solar energy Support Climate One by going ad-free!

Send us a textA room of 2,300 people fell completely silent—and not just any room, a ballroom filled with passionate Italians—while Andrea Bocelli sang “Mamma.” That shared hush becomes our doorway into a rich conversation with John F. Calvelli about what truly unites us: heritage, humility, and the courage to build bridges across differences.John wears two hats that reveal one mission. At the Wildlife Conservation Society, he champions global conservation from the Bronx Zoo to the farthest field sites. As the new chairman of the National Italian American Foundation, he's focused on three priorities: energizing young professionals through mentorship and community, deepening U.S.–Italy ties in both culture and business, and building sustainable funding so those ambitions endure. We dive into the electric momentum of NIAF's 50th anniversary gala—honoring a 104‑year‑old WWII veteran, watching a new generation sing along, and witnessing a respectful, cross‑party conversation with Speaker Kevin McCarthy, Senator Joe Manchin, and Maria Bartiromo that modeled what civic grace can look like.Threaded through it all is a leadership philosophy shaped by family tables, immigrant grit, and St. Francis's wisdom: in giving we receive.

Tara breaks down the shocking aftermath of New York's latest election — a turning point Democrats are celebrating as the triumph of a “new America.” With foreign-born voters driving socialist victories and native-born working-class citizens voting the other way, Tara exposes how this was never a grassroots uprising, but the culmination of a decades-long demographic and political strategy. From Zohran Mamdani's win to the looming fight over the filibuster and amnesty, this episode uncovers the real battle shaping America's future — and why losing it could mean the end of the nation as we know it. *The ballot box is changing — but who's really casting the votes?* new york election, zohran mamdani, replacement voters, foreign-born electorate, socialism in america, democratic strategy, immigration politics, filibuster fight, amnesty debate, voter demographics, marxism, political transformation, tara podcast Tara dives into the data behind New York's latest election, revealing a stark divide between native-born and foreign-born voters. According to new polling, Zohran Mamdani captured over 60% of the foreign-born vote while losing among native-born Americans — a sign, Tara argues, of the Democratic Party's long-term “replacement strategy.” She dissects how nearly half of New York City's population is now foreign-born and one in five residents can't speak English, reshaping the state's political identity. The episode connects these shifts to national stakes: the Democrats' push for amnesty, the near loss of the filibuster, and how two senators — Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema — may have prevented a permanent one-party system. Tara warns that without resistance, similar outcomes could spread nationwide, fundamentally transforming America's political landscape.
Tara exposes the dark side of political power in Washington — the threats, the intimidation, and the near-collapse of America's constitutional balance. In this gripping episode, she revisits how two Democrats, Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema, stood between the nation and permanent one-party rule by refusing to end the Senate filibuster. Tara plays shocking excerpts from Manchin's own interview, where he describes death threats, stalking, and organized activist campaigns funded by his own party to force him into submission. From the push for amnesty to the trillion-dollar “Build Back Better” plan, Tara reveals how close America came to losing its last safeguard — and why keeping the filibuster may have saved the republic. *They couldn't buy his vote — so they tried to break him.* filibuster, joe manchin, kyrsten sinema, build back better, amnesty bill, democratic pressure campaign, political intimidation, one-party rule, biden administration, washington corruption, activist funding, tara podcast Tara unpacks Senator Joe Manchin's shocking revelations about the Democrat-led campaign to eliminate the Senate filibuster — and how his refusal may have saved America from permanent one-party control. She highlights the organized intimidation campaign Manchin faced, including paid protesters, kayakers surrounding his boat, and threats against his family. The goal: to pressure him into supporting the “Build Back Better” bill and amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants. Tara draws parallels between these events and the Democrats' larger agenda — to consolidate power by reshaping voter demographics and silencing dissent. Joined by listener commentary, she also contrasts today's political and economic climate with earlier generations, warning that Americans must not make it easier for authoritarianism to take root.
Day 31 of the shutdown — and no end in sight. Trump's calling to end the filibuster, Manchin's standing firm, and millions are starting to feel the pain. Michael asks today's poll question: What will finally break the stalemate? Food stamps running out? Open enrollment? The coming elections? Federal worker frustration? Or will nothing move the needle?

Tara breaks down how America came within inches of losing its electoral freedom — from federalized elections and Supreme Court packing to unconstitutional, race-based districts that handed Democrats decades of artificial power. But now, the tide may finally be turning. With the Supreme Court signaling an end to race-based redistricting, Republicans could reclaim as many as 20 seats long denied to them. Tara exposes how manipulated census data, deep-state influence, and Bush-era control kept the GOP from challenging the system — until Trump took the reins. Could this be the moment America redistricts its way back to fairness and freedom? “The map is changing — and with it, America's future.” In this explosive episode, Tara reveals how Democrats nearly reshaped the U.S. forever through federalized elections, court packing, and racially engineered voting districts. Thanks to key holdouts like Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema, the filibuster survived — but the fight isn't over. The Supreme Court may soon strike down race-based redistricting, a decision that could shift up to 20 seats to Republicans and end decades of imbalance. Tara connects the dots between manipulated census data, suppressed GOP redistricting efforts under Bush-era control, and Trump's push to reclaim fair representation. As Democrats face declining support and growing exposure, Tara warns that desperation could drive escalating unrest — but also herald the dawn of a freer political era.
The democrat AG candidate for Virginia who wished death to a Republican colleague and his children got a nice slap on the wrist after driving recklessly. Jay Jones was busted 2 years ago for going 116 in a 70 but got only community service... at his OWN nonprofit. Scott Jennings on the Nazi tattoo guy running as a democrat senate candidate in Maine triggers the progressive panel. Joe Manchin describes the well-funded pressure campaign that terrorized him during his controversial NO vote on the Build Back Better monstrosity. It's about blackmail and bribery.

Michael tackles a provocative poll question at Smerconish.com today: "Is it better for the national Democratic Party if Zohran Mamdani wins or loses in NYC?" Michael explores how the Mamdani campaign embodies the tug-of-war between progressives and centrists, and what that tension means for Democrats trying to win across swing districts. He adds commentary from The New York Times and Wall Street Journal about the party's ideological crossroads, from Joe Manchin's centrism to AOC-style activism. It's a smart, spirited look at what is really at stake in one city's election. Listen here and please rate and review this podcast! Then, vote on the question at smerconish.com.

oin former U.S. Senator Joe Manchin for a timely and candid online-only conversation about his maverick career in government, crossing party lines, and addressing the dysfunction at the heart of our politics—centered around his new memoir, Dead Center: In Defense of Common Sense. At a time when our country feels more divided than ever, Senator Manchin is inviting Americans back to the center—where solutions are possible, principles still matter, and leadership starts with listening. From the coal fields of Farmington, West Virginia, to some of the highest-stakes decisions in the U.S. Senate, Manchin has never wavered from his core beliefs: fiscal responsibility, social compassion, and putting country before party. In Dead Center—part memoir, part manifesto—he makes a passionate case for a new, solutions-oriented politics rooted in common sense. Reflecting on the decisions that shaped him as a leader and public servant, he shares never-before-told stories from inside the Senate and the White House, along with fresh insight into how government can deliver real results for the American people. It's a reminder that leadership still matters, character still counts, and common sense should never go out of style. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Last year, an energy permitting reform bill sponsored by Senators Joe Manchin and John Barrasso passed out of committee but failed to gain full support in the US Senate. Since then, rising energy costs and infrastructure backlogs have only heightened pressure on Congress to take another run at reforming the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). As a result, momentum behind permitting reform is building again. Several legislative efforts are underway, most notably the bipartisan SPEED Act, which would change NEPA requirements in order to streamline the permitting process. It would also set limits on judicial review. So how likely is meaningful permitting reform, this time around? How would it enable timely development of energy infrastructure without jeopardizing environmental concerns? And what might make it feasible to supporters of fossil and renewable energy alike? This week, Bill Loveless speaks to Jim Connaughton about shifting motivations for permitting reform in DC, and whether policymakers can find enough common ground to push reforms forward. Jim is the CEO of JLC Strategies and the former chairman and CEO of Nautilus Data Technologies. During the George W. Bush administration, he served as chairman of the White House Council on Environmental Quality and directed the White House Office of Environmental Policy. Credits: Hosted by Jason Bordoff and Bill Loveless. Produced by Mary Catherine O'Connor, Caroline Pitman, and Kyu Lee. Engineering by Gregory Vilfranc.
Former West Virginia senator Joseph Manchin III was a gadfly in the ear of his own Democratic party for many years, and a sometime Republican ally. Manchin's new memoir, Dead Center: In Defense of Common Sense, is packed with stories about his relationships with the likes of President Donald Trump and former President Joe Biden. In this interview with NPR's Michel Martin, Manchin explains why this country needs an “American independent party."To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Meghan and Miranda open with the most-talked-about moment from Charlie Kirk's memorial in Arizona, Erica Kirk publicly forgiving her husband's killer, and what that act of faith and restraint means for a grieving movement and a fractured country. They also unpack the media's reaction, the surge of young churchgoers some listeners are seeing, and whether the Republican Party is entering a more openly Christian era. Then Senator Joe Manchin joins to discuss his new book, Dead Center in Defense of Common Sense, why he chose life on a D.C. houseboat, and the lost art of bipartisan hospitality (yes, he used to host mixed-party dinners: four Dems, four Republicans). Manchin gets candid on closed primaries, the rise of independents, border security vs. legal immigration, putting assets in a blind trust, resisting “party-line” votes, and the McCain/Lieberman model of political courage. He also shares personal stories, from carrying refrigerators up walk-ups as a teen to perfect Italian meatballs (veal/pork/beef) and the history of Harpers Ferry. Plus audience Q&A: a dad on introducing his 16-year-old to public life (and flip phones), a New Yorker on how the press misunderstands Christian worship, and a sober look at rhetoric vs. responsibility after political violence.

For years, Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia was a Democrat with a habit of voting against the party line. Not surprisingly, that was something many Democrats despised and Republicans relished. His resistance cost Democrats big legislative wins, including President Biden's $1.75 trillion Build Back Better Act in 2021. After being called a DINO (Democrat in Name Only) for years, Manchin flirted with a presidential run on the No Labels ticket and officially dropped the “D” to become an independent in 2024, shortly before leaving office. Kara talks to Manchin about his new memoir, Dead Center: In Defense of Common Sense, his reasoning for occasionally siding with the other side of the aisle, his defense of the filibuster, and why he thinks independents might have a better chance in 2028.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they rip into ABC News over its repulsive coverage of Charlie Kirk's accused killer and slam Democrats for overwhelmingly embracing socialism. They also applaud former West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin for slamming his former Democrat colleagues who attacked our system of government in the pursuit of power.First, they welcome Sen. Manchin blasting President Obama, President Biden, and Senate Democratic leaders like Harry Reid and Chuck Schumer for systematically trying to "weaken the very guardrails that have protected our democracy for generations—all in the name of advancing their agenda." This includes tactics like killing the filibuster on nominations and trying to kill the legislative filibuster. Jim says Manchin is right to point it out. But are any Democrats listening?Next, they dig into the charges filed against the alleged murderer of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk and torch ABC News reporter Matt Gutman for gushing about the “touching” text exchanges between the accused killer and his partner as the shooter seemed to confess. Jim unloads on Gutman and the entire mainstream media, which seem to have perfect clarity on right and wrong when someone on the right is accused. But when a lefty is charged, all of a sudden the media lose the plot and just find everything so confusing.Finally, they're disgusted but not surprised to find that Democrats are overwhelmingly supportive of socialism. CNN is reporting that Democrats are now a net +36 on socialism and a net -13 on capitalism. This is now the mainstream position of the Democratic Party.
