Former NC Lieutenant Governor Dan Forest sits down for a candid conversation about the twists and turns that have shaped his life, career, and outlook on the future. The Republican reflects on growing up in a political family, how his parents' divorce affected him and influenced his views on faith, family, and perseverance. He also opens up about one of the most difficult chapters of his public life: his 2020 gubernatorial loss, what he learned from the experience, and how it changed his perspective on politics and leadership. Today, Forest has embarked on a new chapter that he says he genuinely loves. As a lobbyist and leader of a coalition focused on blockchain technology and AI, he is helping businesses and policymakers navigate some of the most transformative innovations of our time. He discusses the opportunities and challenges presented by AI, the future of cryptocurrency, and why he believes emerging technologies will reshape government, business, and everyday life. Plus, Skye and Brian break down the latest developments at the General Assembly, including a budget update, several key bills on the move, and a notable veto override. They also take a look at the stories shaping the week across North Carolina before turning their attention to the state's collective obsession: the Carolina Hurricanes. The Do Politics Better podcast is sponsored by New Frame, the NC Travel Industry Association, the American Heart Association, the NC Pork Council, the NC Realtors, Heal the System NC, and the NC Healthcare Association.

A new audit of more than 2 million registered voters in Utah found 27 confirmed and 25 likely non-citizens on the voter rolls. Now obviously, the closer we can get that number to 0, the better. But does this small amount -- about 50 out of 2 million -- mean there's widespread fraud underway? Lieutenant Governor Deidre Henderson shares more about the audit and also touches on continued efforts to eliminate mail-in voting.

Today we turn to the race for lieutenant governor — an office that often gets less attention than governor or senator, but one that can play an important role in shaping state policy, economic development, higher education, and California's political future.Today's guest is Michael Tubbs.Tubbs first gained national attention when he was elected mayor of Stockton at age 26, becoming one of the youngest mayors of a major American city. During his time in office, he focused on issues like gun violence prevention, economic mobility, and poverty, and became especially well known for launching one of the country's first guaranteed income pilot programs.Since leaving office, Tubbs has remained active in public policy, writing and speaking about economic inequality, education, and the challenges facing communities that have often been left out of California's prosperity. He has also taught at Stanford and worked on statewide and national initiatives focused on opportunity and anti-poverty policy.Now running for lieutenant governor, Tubbs is arguing that California needs a new generation of leadership focused on affordability, economic opportunity, and making state government work more effectively for working people.I sat down with Michael Tubbs recently to talk about his campaign, his time as mayor, and how he sees California's future.https://michaeltubbsforca.com/https://mtubbs.com/What's Next, Los Angeles? is produced and hosted by Mike Bonin, in partnership with LA Forward.

The show opens with a heartbreaking and disturbing tragedy out of Virginia, where former Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax fatally shot his wife before taking his own life, leaving their children without parents. Lawmakers across the state expressed shock, urging families facing domestic conflict to seek help, as details emerged about prior marital strain and calls for police intervention, reigniting national conversations around domestic violence and mental health. The cast also reacts to growing scrutiny around rapper Future, as court records and legal filings reveal a sharp contrast between his reported nine‑figure net worth and relatively low monthly child‑support payments—made possible, experts say, by strategic asset structuring and filing in states with capped child‑support guidelines. The Hot Spot turns to gospel star Tina Campbell, whose decades‑long marriage reportedly could not survive long‑standing tensions intensified by her public support of Donald Trump—a stance that insiders say created deep divides at home and within the faith community. And in one of the show’s most debated moments, Akon goes viral after openly defending his polygamous lifestyle, arguing that men and women are not “biologically equal” in relationships—a claim that sparked immediate backlash and a heated discussion on responsibility, culture, and modern relationships.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
