On episode 104 of Native Land Pod, hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers go through this week’s election results and take an account of how our Black candidates (and voters) performed. The race for NYC’s mayor dominated the airwaves, where Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani won. BUT there were other important races. Black mayors were elected across the country, the governor race in Virginia and New Jersey went solidly Democratic, and State-level elections in the South saw typically conservative seats flip blue. Folks are wondering if Mamdani is the new “face of the Democratic party” which WE think is missing the point. NLP is joined by President Biden’s former press secretary (the first Black woman to hold the job) Karine Jeane-Pierre to discuss some of the election results and Democrat’s media strategy. In her new book, Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside Party Lines, Karine shares some pointed critiques of a party she no longer identifies with, and our hosts ask some pointed questions of Karine. And our hosts respond to your questions! There’s an interesting one about infiltrating the Republican party and another from a chef asking who is keeping our legacy “recipes.” If you’d like to submit a question, check out our tutorial video: http://www.instagram.com/reel/C5j_oBXLIg0/ and send to @nativelandpod.

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWTuesday night erupted into a political shockwave that rolled from coast to coast. The results dropped like a surprise thunderclap and changed the national mood in a single night. Voters who have been drained for months suddenly had a spark again and the map told the whole story.Virginia, New Jersey, and New York delivered some of the most forceful wins seen in years. These were not polite shifts. These were full on statements from voters who have had enough of chaos and wanted stability and competence back in the room. The magnitude of these wins sends a message that carries far beyond state borders.Proposition 50 in California exploded the political landscape even further. With no candidates on the ballot, the turnout was massive and the effect immediate. New competitive House seats are now in play and the balance of power in Congress just tilted. The scale of this vote shows how seriously people are taking the direction of the country.Victory speeches from Mamdani, Sherril, and Newsom lit up the night with energy that felt different from anything in recent months. Direct language. No fear. No softness. A clear shift away from the days of avoiding confrontation with Donald Trump. The tone of those speeches marked a new confidence that many voters have been waiting for.Turnout numbers revealed the real story. People arrived with intention. They showed up because the constant chaos has pushed them past their limit. They showed up because the country feels like it is living inside a nonstop anxiety loop. Tuesday night was a release valve and the numbers proved it.Trump reacted with the same script but the script finally fell flat. Claims of rigging and stealing barely made a ripple. The public simply moved on. That reaction alone says more about the political moment than any poll could measure.The government shutdown hangs over everything and Tuesday night sent Congress a warning. Voters want real action on healthcare and real action now. Not later. Not someday. Not after another stall tactic. The pressure is rising and the election results amplify that demand.This episode also puts a spotlight on listener engagement because a moment like this deserves a response. Silence makes no sense after a night that reshaped the national mood. This is the time for emotion, perspective, and authentic reactions.If you are craving stability, craving normalcy, craving a country that feels grounded again, Tuesday night delivered a rare dose of hope. It may not fix everything but it feels like the first step toward something steadier and that alone is worth paying attention to.I need to hear from you after Tuesday night's stunning results:WolfPackTalks@gmail.comAWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com

Tuesday was Election Day and Democrats won big! Voters in New York City elected Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani as their next mayor. In Georgia, Democrats won their first statewide elections in 20 years, flipping two seats on the board that controls electricity costs in the state – a direct response to rising power prices. And in New Jersey, Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill won a tough race to keep the state's governor's mansion blue. While in Virginia, former Democratic House Representative Abigail Spanberger won the governor's race, flipping the state's governor's seat back to the Democrats.

Tara breaks down today's most pressing issues facing the United States, from mass immigration and welfare dependency to economic stagnation, job scarcity, and election strategy. She explores how federal programs, foreign visa policies, and urban demographics are reshaping cities like New York, while analyzing alleged media manipulation and global trends in censorship and digital surveillance. Through detailed analysis of policy, politics, and the economic landscape, Tara highlights what's at stake for American freedom, jobs, and democracy. *Immigration, media bias, and economic challenges—America's fight for its future starts here.* Immigration, Welfare dependency, Illegal immigration, Asylum programs, Visa policy, Trump administration, Census fraud, Gerrymandering, Midterm elections, Jobs crisis, Federal spending, Inflation, Media bias, BBC misinformation, Digital surveillance, Free speech, Global trends, Political strategy, American identity, National security, Social programs, Government shutdown, NYC demographics In today's episodes, Tara analyzes the convergence of political, economic, and social pressures shaping America. She examines immigration policy, alleging strategic welfare use, visa manipulation, and demographic engineering in major cities like New York. Tara critiques federal spending, inflation, and the limited creation of domestic jobs, highlighting the challenges posed by foreign visa holders and program mismanagement. She explores media manipulation, including misleading coverage by the BBC, and global trends in digital surveillance, like mandatory IDs in Australia. From election strategy, census fraud, and gerrymandering to social program oversight and threats to free speech, Tara offers a comprehensive overview of the challenges facing America today and what citizens must understand to protect their future.

Tara breaks down the rapidly changing political and social landscape in America, from mass immigration and welfare dependency to election strategy and economic stagnation. This episode explores the alleged manipulation of immigration programs, the impact of foreign visa holders on American jobs, and how structural challenges like census fraud and gerrymandering affect policy outcomes. Tara also examines media manipulation, including misinformation from outlets like the BBC, and the global trend toward digital surveillance and censorship. From New York's shifting demographics to international threats to personal freedom, this episode paints a stark picture of the stakes facing the country. *From immigration policy to digital IDs, America's freedom is under siege—here's what you need to know.* Immigration, Welfare dependency, Illegal immigration, Asylum programs, Visa policy, Trump administration, Census fraud, Gerrymandering, Midterm elections, Jobs crisis, Federal spending, Inflation, Media bias, BBC misinformation, Digital surveillance, Free speech, Global trends, Political strategy, American identity, National security In this episode, Tara dissects the challenges facing America today, highlighting how mass immigration, welfare dependency, and foreign visa programs are reshaping cities like New York and straining domestic jobs. She critiques federal policies under both parties, citing alleged census manipulation, gerrymandering, and spending that sustain inflation and limit economic opportunity. Tara also addresses media bias, including misleading coverage from the BBC regarding January 6, and warns about global trends in digital surveillance, such as Australia's mandatory digital IDs, that threaten personal freedom. From immigration and welfare fraud to election strategy and international oversight, this episode underscores the high stakes for American democracy and freedom, emphasizing the urgent need for awareness and action.

Tara breaks down the current state of U.S. politics as midterms approach, highlighting why Republicans may face significant challenges despite Trump's efforts. From inflation, high federal spending, and stalled domestic job growth to the impacts of foreign visa programs, this episode explores why Americans aren't feeling the economic improvements promised. Tara also examines the structural obstacles in Congress, including allegedly fraudulent census seats and gerrymandered districts, that limit the ability to implement meaningful change. *Why the economy, jobs, and political strategy will decide the fate of the midterms.* Midterms, Republican strategy, Trump administration, Federal spending, Inflation, Jobs, Visa programs, Census fraud, Gerrymandering, Congress, Economic policy, Political obstacles, Election strategy, Energy prices, Continuing resolutions In this episode, Tara analyzes why the midterm elections could be a tough battle for Republicans despite Trump's ongoing efforts. She addresses Americans' frustration over high inflation, rising costs of living, and the lack of job growth, highlighting the impact of foreign visa programs that bring in skilled and unskilled labor amid limited domestic jobs. Tara also examines structural political challenges, including allegedly stolen congressional seats, gerrymandered districts, and federal spending that restricts economic reform. She argues that Trump's only path forward is to pursue a fraud-free census and redistricting before the midterms to secure the ability to enact meaningful policy changes and control inflation. The episode underscores that while Republicans hold a slight advantage, the fight for political and economic control is far from over.

Tara dives into the mechanics of immigration and its impact on U.S. politics, revealing how certain populations are being brought to major cities, often unable or unwilling to assimilate, and the consequences for American elections. She examines the massive welfare system supporting these communities, illegal issuance of Social Security numbers, and the potential political influence of these populations. The episode also explores how cities like New York are becoming demographically and culturally distinct from the rest of the U.S., and the urgent steps conservatives must take to protect American governance, culture, and elections. *Understanding how immigration, welfare, and demographics are shaping America's political future.* Immigration, Welfare, Social Security fraud, Illegal immigrants, New York City, Demographics, Political strategy, Democrats, Republicans, UN, Biden administration, Trump administration, Shadow electorate, Communist influence, Urban policy, Government spending, Midterms, Homeland Security, Election integrity In this eye-opening episode, Tara explains how U.S. immigration policies and welfare programs have created a “shadow nation” that influences elections and urban politics. She highlights New York City as a case study, with one in five residents unable to speak English and nearly half born outside the U.S., living on extensive welfare programs funded by taxpayers. Tara details how billions in government spending, illegal Social Security issuance, and preferential immigration policies have created an electorate that favors socialist or communist candidates. She warns of the potential for cities to become culturally and politically disconnected from the rest of America, urging conservatives to take decisive action to restore lawful immigration, reduce welfare abuse, and protect American elections and governance.

Tara and Lee break down recent elections in Virginia and New Jersey, separating hype from reality. While some media outlets have labeled Republican losses a “bloodbath,” the hosts explain why these results were predictable in historically blue states, what they reveal about Democratic voter enthusiasm, and the challenges Republicans face in energizing their base. They also examine demographic shifts, gender splits, and the lessons Republicans must take to heart to prepare for the midterms. *Hype doesn't equal loss — understanding the real wake-up call for Republicans.* midterms, Virginia election, New Jersey election, Republican strategy, Democratic voter turnout, gender split, political analysis, Trump, Glenn Youngkin, voter enthusiasm, blue states, election insight, exit polling, Republican messaging, political strategy In this episode, Tara and Lee dissect the media narrative that recent Republican losses in Virginia and New Jersey were catastrophic, arguing instead that these outcomes were predictable in historically Democratic strongholds. They analyze Democratic voter enthusiasm, noting energized turnout that outpaced expectations, and explore the gender divide that favored Democrats, particularly among women. The hosts stress that these results are a crucial wake-up call for Republicans: energizing the base, engaging women voters, and delivering on economic promises will be key to midterm success. They debunk sensationalist reporting, contextualize historic Republican victories in these states, and outline actionable lessons for building a winning strategy in upcoming elections.

Virginia, Kalifornien, New Jersey und New York. Gleich vier Wahlen wurden am Dienstag in den USA geschlagen und aus allen vieren können die Demokraten als Sieger hervorgehen. Besonders prominentes Beispiel ist der 34-jährige Wahlgewinner in New York, Zohran Mamdani, der sich selbst als schlimmster Albtraum von Donald Trump bezeichnet. Welche Auswirkungen die Wahlsiege haben und was das für die Midterms im kommenden Jahr bedeuten könnte, analysiert Eric Frey, Leitender Redakteur des STANDARD

We're split on this poll, what say you? Yesterday was not a good election for the GOP, but they were indeed in blue-states and cities. Deroy Murdock is on the show, and we dive into some post-election numbers, like ya do.

Good luck to GOP trying to make Mamdani the face of the Democrats; Are we being too hard on Trevor Penning? Scott in Metairie flunked PoliSci but wants you to "Do your homework;" Trump seems to be taking blue wave loss in stride... sort of; Alcohol sales fading in markets with legal weed, obviously

In this special edition of The Latino Vote Podcast, Chuck Rocha and Mike Madrid are joined by Helen Torres, CEO of Hispanas Organized for Political Equality (HOPE), and Mike Murphy, veteran Republican strategist, for a dynamic USC Center for the Political Future panel discussion on the fastest-growing and most consequential voting bloc in American politics: The Latino Voter.The panel tackles the seismic shifts in Latino voting patterns, from the historic 22-point collapse in Democratic support to what this means for the 2026 midterms and beyond. Madrid, Rocha, and Torres dissect why this isn't a realignment but a "de-alignment" - with Latino voters becoming more anti-party and populist rather than more conservative.Key topics include:The generational divide: English-dominant millennials vs. Spanish-speaking immigrantsThe gender gap and education split within the Latino electorateWhy the economy wins over identity politics (and why "socialism" attacks don't work)The fatal flaw in Democratic strategy: chasing the Rust Belt while ignoring the new SouthHow cultural competency beats micro-targetingWhy Trump's working-class message resonated despite his anti-immigrant rhetoricWhat Democrats must do to compete in 2026 and beyondThis isn't your typical "Latino outreach" conversation. It's a masterclass in understanding the fastest-growing segment of the American electorate from insiders who've spent decades winning—and learning from losses. Whether you're a political operative, journalist, or engaged citizen, this discussion will change how you think about Latino voters and the future of American politics.-Recorded October 29, 2025.

Joyce talks about the elections taking place today in New Jersey and New York and how this could be a sign of what will happen with the midterms.

Hotline Editor Kirk A. Bado brings on national political correspondent Erika Filter to discuss President Trump's role or lack thereof on the midterm campaign trail, the political dynamics between Republican candidates and Trump, and the Democratic hopefuls on the campaign trail instead.

Chuck Todd breaks down the latest NBC News poll, which paints a grim picture for both parties — and especially for Donald Trump’s second term. With only 37% of Americans believing the country is on the right track and financial pessimism at record highs, the public seems to have made up its mind: Trump 2.0 isn’t winning new fans. Chuck examines how Republicans are holding stronger favorability than Trump himself, why immigration remains his only issue advantage, and what Democrats can learn from the midterm mood. As two-thirds of voters say they’re falling behind, Chuck argues that the path to victory this cycle may depend on who runs against Washington — not just who runs it. Finally, Chuck hops into the ToddCast Time Machine to examine America’s role in creating the country of Panama and why it’s left a lasting sense of suspicion of the United States in Latin America. He answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment and unloads on his Miami Hurricanes after their loss to SMU. Got injured in an accident?

As two-thirds of voters say they’re falling behind, Chuck argues that the path to victory this cycle may depend on who runs against Washington — not just who runs it. Then, Rich Thau, moderator of the Swing Voter Project joins Chuck Todd to dig into what America’s elusive swing voters are really thinking heading into 2028. Thau, known for his in-depth focus group research, explains how his team identifies true persuadable voters and what he’s hearing from them behind closed doors — from deep economic anxiety to their conflicted feelings about both Trump and Harris. He shares why many voters still give Trump credit for “doing something,” why Biden’s messaging never landed, and how gender and race remain stubborn barriers for Democratic candidates. Chuck and Rich also explore how social media has replaced traditional news, why most swing voters can’t name a single Biden accomplishment, and how reform ideas like limiting presidential pardons or setting age caps for candidates could reshape American politics. It’s an eye-opening look at how frustrated, distracted, and disillusioned voters might once again decide the direction of the country. Finally, Chuck hops into the ToddCast Time Machine to examine America’s role in creating the country of Panama and why it’s left a lasting sense of suspicion of the United States in Latin America.

Alex talks about the hottest issue leading up to next week's election….the 2026 election. California's Proposition 50 is a power play by Governor Newsom and Democrats to fight back against Republican gerrymandering in Texas, in the hopes of saving Democratic seats in Congress in the midterm elections. Now a firestorm has ignited with states across the country launching redistricting efforts, and both parties have come to play. First, Alex hears about grassroots efforts to tackle the issue from Richard von Glahn, the Executive Director of People Not Politicians in Missouri. Then she speaks to democratic strategist David Plouffe about the moral quandary Democrats find themselves in, and why our hyper partisan political environment necessitates a gloves-off approach.

A Virginia judge allowed the state's Democrats to pursue a redistricting plan on Wednesday that would permit them to amend the state's constitution and redraw its congressional districts before next year's midterm elections – despite a lawsuit from Virginia Republicans. Those Democrats are following a national trend, kicked off by President Trump. Back in August, Trump called on Texas to redraw its congressional maps ahead of the 2026 midterms in order to minimize Republican losses in the House. And after Texas redrew its maps, California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom responded by putting forward a plan to redistrict his state through a ballot measure, Proposition 50, that would redraw California's congressional districts and push five Republicans out of their seats. Californians will be voting on the proposition on Election Day next week. To explain the fight and how the 2026 Midterms became a battle royale, I spoke with John Bisognano. He's the President of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee.And in headlines, Congress continues to prove pointless as funding for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits are set to expire for millions of Americans, the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates again, and immigration officials deport a man living in Alabama to Laos despite literally being ordered not to.Show Notes:Check out the National Democratic Redistricting Committee – democraticredistricting.com/Call Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
