Podcast appearances and mentions of Michael Nutter

"I don't care if you live in urban America or rural America, everyone wants the same thing," Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb said on the latest episode of How To Really Run A City. "They want a job they can get to in 15 minutes, they want a hospital or pharmacy within 15 minutes, they want a park or a grocery store or bars or restaurants, all within 15 minutes." Bibb went on to explain to our hosts, former Philly mayor Michael Nutter and former Atlanta mayor Kasim Reed, how he is turning his Ohio city into a convenient, accessible, bona fide 15-minute city — and what is needed to sustain that work. "People really want walkability," Bibb said. "They want safety and thriving neighborhoods and overall thriving cities. But we as mayors can't do this by ourselves. We need a federal government that's actually working. It has to be working with our governors and mayors." Bibb, a charismatic 38-year-old (and cousin to the first Black primetime newscaster in Ohio), will almost certainly be reelected next week, and both Reed and Nutter quickly picked up on his "get sh*t done" vibe. "A mayor is a reflection of their city," Reed said, "how it feels and how it will be there [for its people]."  "Absolutely," Nutter said. Join us for an episode about a mayor who is laser-focused on making the lives of his constituents better in ways that anyone taking a stroll to the park can feel.

“Traditional license plate readers were developed in the 1950s and 60s,” says Garrett Langley of Flock Safety. “But you can go into Flock and say I'm looking for a black Sedan with after-market tires and a dent on the left corner, and we will find that car.” On this episode of How To Really Run A City, our hosts chat with Langley about his innovative and cost-saving approach to public safety, which made national headlines last year by promptly apprehending a would-be Trump assassin and an Atlanta mass shooter. After being the victim of a robbery in his own neighborhood, Langley reimagined vehicle surveillance and built a company that operates alongside thousands of law enforcement agencies across the country. “I love citizen entrepreneurs who are in the civic problem-solving business,” Larry Platt told former mayors Kasim Reed and Michael Nutter. “That's who this guy is.” Join us for a deep dive into an idea that keeps cities safer while avoiding the typical pitfalls of street surveillance.  As cities go, so goes the nation!

Sunday August 4th, 2024 (9AM)

Former U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.), who is now a senior policy advisor for the law firm Van Ness Feldman and co-chair of the Natural Allies Leadership Council, is keen on natural gas and believes it is part of the solution to reaching both domestic and global climate goals. “Natural gas in America is not the enemy,” Landrieu said as a guest on The POWER Podcast. “The majority of the emissions reductions of the United States in the last 10 years are directly attributed to more natural gas being used and less coal,” she said. Yet, that doesn't mean Landrieu is opposed to renewable energy. She believes in an “all-of-the-above” strategy. “As natural gas has replaced coal as the number one producer of electricity in this country, our emissions have been reduced substantially, that is, in addition and in collaboration with—in partnership with—the increase in wind [and] the increase in solar,” said Landrieu. There are many reasons to support natural gas, according to Landrieu. For one, America has a lot of it. “We have over a hundred-year supply,” she claimed. “Number two: we have an amazing pipeline infrastructure that can move gas from where we find it to the people that need it,” she added. “But also, what's so important is natural gas, because it's relatively inexpensive, we can keep the cost of electricity lower. So, it's available, it's plentiful, it's affordable, and when connected with wind and solar, we can really build a modern and low-emissions electric grid for the country.” Landrieu has a sound basis for her views, having served three terms in the U.S. Senate (1997–2015) where she chaired the prominent Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee and she advocated for her home state of Louisiana, which is America's fourth-largest energy-producing state. Still, Landrieu pushes back when people suggest she only promotes natural gas because Louisiana produces it. “No, I promote natural gas because we produce it, but we also use a lot of it. So, my goal is to keep it plentiful [and] keep the price low and stable,” she said. Another form of energy that Landrieu supports is nuclear power. “Although our coalition doesn't promote nuclear, we recognize the power of nuclear power. We want to see more nuclear power in this country,” she said. “Nuclear provides about 18% of our electricity—it was about 20—if we could get that up to 25 or even 30%, it would really help. Natural gas can provide a lot, more wind, more solar, and as batteries come along, that's going to be, I think, the combination we're looking for.” The Natural Allies Leadership Council calls itself “a coalition of interested stakeholders that recognize the vital role natural gas and its infrastructure must play in the energy mix.” The group says natural gas partnered with renewable energy “can accelerate our path to a clean energy future—ensuring affordability and reliability while reducing carbon emissions domestically and internationally.” Landrieu co-chairs the group with Kendrick Meek (D-Fla.), who served southern Florida in Congress from 2002 to 2010; Michael Nutter, who served as Philadelphia's 98th Mayor from 2008 to 2016; and Tim Ryan (D-Ohio), who served 10 terms in Congress from 2003 to 2023. “We're talking to Democrats—we're happy always to talk with Republicans as well—but we're talking to Democratic leaders and saying, ‘If you want prices low, if you want your people employed, if you want jobs in your community, natural gas is for you.' And we're happy to partner with renewables, nuclear, batteries, and let's build a future together,” said Landrieu.

If There Is No Struggle There Is No Progress: Black Politics in Twentieth-Century Philadelphia (Temple UP, 2022) provides an in-depth historical analysis of Philadelphia politics from the days of the Great Migration to the present. Philadelphia has long been a crucial site for the development of Black politics across the nation and this volume emphasizes how Black activists have long protested against police abuse, pushed for education reform, challenged job and housing discrimination, and put presidents in the White House. If There Is No Struggle There Is No Progress demonstrates that “Philadelphia must be central to any analysis of African American political history.” But politics means more than elected office and the book highlights political strategies such as the "Don't Buy Where You Can't Work" movement and the Double V campaign. It demonstrates how Black activism helped shift Philadelphia from the Republican machine to Democratic leaders in the 1950s and highlights the election of politicians like Robert N. C. Nix, Sr., the first African American representative from Philadelphia. The book highlights grassroots movements and the intersection of race, gender, class, and politics in the 1960s and shows how African Americans from the 1970s to the present challenged (white) Mayor Frank Rizzo and helped elect (Black) Mayors Wilson Goode, John Street, and Michael Nutter. Dean James Wolfinger (he/him/his) serves as dean of the School of Education at St. John's University in Queens, New York. Dr. Stanley Arnold (he/him/his) is an Associate Professor of American History at Northern Illinois University. Dr. Alyssa Ribeiro (she/her/hers) is the Henry A Logan, Sr, Professor of American History at Allegheny College in Meadville, Pennsylvania.  Ms. Daniela Lavergne at Saint Joseph's University served as the editorial assistant for this podcast.

On this episode of How To Really Run A City, we join Larry Platt, Kasim Reed and Michael Nutter as they sit down with Charles Blow, columnist for The New York Times and author of the 2021 book The Devil You Know: A Black Power Manifesto and last year's companion HBO documentary, South to Black Power. Blow makes the case for a type of new Black Power movement by calling for a Black migration to the South. The mayors and their guest dive deep into the risks run when politicians focus on philosophical debates over day-to-day issues like jobs and the economy.

On the final installment of our ultimate job interview with Cherelle Parker, our soon-to-be mayor faces our former mayor, Michael Nutter, who puts her through a "lightning round" of tough questions. How does Parker fare? She asks the listeners to decide.

Alarmingly, in a city that is 44 percent Black, Black-owned businesses with payroll represent less than 3 percent of the businesses in our ecosystem. In our 5th episode, hosts Larry Platt, Michael Nutter and Kasim Reed come to you with a live episode as they sit down with Newark, NJ, Mayor Ras Baraka and Nowak Metro Finance Lab's Bruce Katz – two experts who have a litany of solutions to one of the most pressing issues facing cities today: closing the wealth gap by creating and supporting Black businesses.

Full Hour | Today, Dom led off the Dom Giordano Program by telling that Brand Manager Greg Stocker had just stopped into the studio, telling Dom that he has the opportunity to play WPHT Morning Show host Nick Kayal in a round of golf. Dom quickly jumps at the opportunity, explaining why he thinks he could easily beat Nick in golf, which prompts the morning host to respond via text that the challenge is on. Then, Dom welcomes former Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter back onto the Dom Giordano Program after he endorsed Rebecca Rhynhart yesterday in the race to become Philadelphia's next Mayor. First, Dom asks the Mayor about his recent decisions to speak out about the state of the City, asking why he's chosen to do so and telling him that, in doing so, he's really improved in stock in the eyes of listeners. Then, Dom asks Mayor Nutter about the race and the candidates competing to become the next Philadelphia Mayor, with Dom asking Nutter why he believes the Democratic candidates have yet to do anything to really distinguish themselves from one another. After that, Dom asks why Nutter specifically chose Rhynhart, with the former Mayor explaining that she knows the budget better than anybody else running for office, and that, combined with her long experience, makes her the best candidate. Then, Dom and Nutter delve into the ever-changing conversation centered on public safety and justice reform, with Nutter explaining why some candidates may hesitate to criticize District Attorney Larry Krasner. Also, Nutter, who's been very vocal about his relationship with stop-and-frisk, explains why he's surprisingly in favor of constitutional stop-and-frisk, but warns listeners of the dangers as a black man.
