Podcasts about Nessel

Steve welcomes David A. Kallman, Senior Partner at the Kallman Legal Group, to break down a massive win for justice in Michigan. A state judge has just slammed the door shut on Attorney General Dana Nessel's politically motivated witch hunt against Michigan's Republican Electors. Kallman, who has been on the front lines of this fight, explains why the case collapsed, how Nessel abused her office in an attempt to criminalize conservatives, and what this ruling means for the future of election integrity in Michigan and across the country.

Number One— Just when you think Jasmine Crockett cannot say anything dumber than she has in the past—she digs deeper and gets even more insanely stupid—it really is an incredible display of ignorance—   Number Two— Missouri—is the latest state to respond to California's redistricting antics—by approving a new map that will give Republicans more seats in Congress—and more Red states are lining up to do the same—   Number Three— Lawfare—it's the only plan Democrats have it seems—BUT when it fails they go crazy—Such was the case for Dana Nessel yesterday—after years of trying to prosecute 15 Republicans for filing an alternate slate of electors in 2020—a Gretchen Whitmer appointed judge threw the whole case out—and basically called Nessel and terrible lawyer—

By Abrahm Lustgarten of ProPublica

We dive into a chaotic but revealing weekend—from near-miraculous moments at the “No Kings” protests, to shocking media bias and gaslighting over political violence. He breaks down the arrest of an armed man impersonating law enforcement, exposes the hypocrisy of Michigan leaders like Whitmer and Nessel, and celebrates the strength and sanity shown by everyday Americans—like Clayton Kershaw boldly reclaiming the rainbow with scripture. Despite rising tension, Justin reminds listeners that peace, hope, and joy don't come from D.C.—they come from the throne of God.Get the stories from today's show in THE STACK: https://justinbarclay.comKirk Elliott PHD - FREE consultation on wealth conservation - http://GoldWithJustin.comJoin Justin in the MAHA revolution - http://HealthWithJustin.comTry Cue Streaming for just $2 / day and help support the good guys https://justinbarclay.com/cueUp to 80% OFF!

May 20, 2025 ~ Kaitlyn Buss, Assistant Editorial Page Editor for the Detroit News discusses Attorney General Dana Nessel saying Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson broke election law and the new "Take It Down" act that was signed into law.

This week is mainly devoted to listener questions and feedback. First, Ralph answers some of the questions you have submitted over the past few weeks. Then we invite back last week's guest, Erica Payne, of Patriotic Millionaires, to respond to your very thoughtful comments on the interview we did with that group's plan for preserving democracy by taxing the rich. Plus, Ralph highlights the outrages of the Trump/Musk assault on government programs that help ordinary people.Erica Payne is the founder and president of Patriotic Millionaires, an organization of high-net-worth individuals that aims to restructure America's political economy to suit the needs of all Americans. Their work includes advocating for a highly progressive tax system, a livable minimum wage, and equal political representation for all citizens. She is the co-author, with Morris Pearl, of Tax the Rich: How Lies, Loopholes and Lobbyists Make the Rich Even Richer.The real reason for taxation is democracy protection.Erica PayneI think the question is not: do we need to fix the estate tax? The question is: what is the best, most defensible mechanism through which you can tax the transfer of wealth from one generation to the other in order to protect American democracy from dynastic wealth—that is sufficient that you find five generations from now Elon Musk's kid isn't spending as much money on these elections as their great great great great great granddaddy is.Erica PayneAusterity applied at a federal level to a society that is in distress does the exact opposite of what the proponents of austerity are saying it should do. The tightening of the belt actually cuts off the circulation of the society.Erica PayneNews 5/9/251. While the Catholic clergy convene in Rome for the Papal Conclave, Pope Francis graces the world with one final gift. Vatican News reports, “His popemobile, the very vehicle from which he waved and was close to millions of faithful all around the world, is being transformed into a mobile health unit for the children of Gaza.” This article states this was Francis' “final wish,” and quotes his refrain that “Children are not numbers. They are faces. Names. Stories. And each one is sacred.” The vehicle is reportedly being outfitted with equipment for “diagnosis, examination, and treatment – including rapid tests for infections, diagnostic instruments, vaccines, suture kits, and other life-saving supplies,” and it will be staffed by doctors and medics. Yet, given Israel's track record for the destruction of medical facilities in Gaza, it is unclear how long this mobile health unit itself will survive.2. In more distressing news from Gaza, CNN reports that “A Gaza-bound activist aid ship [part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition] caught fire and issued an SOS, after what its organizers claimed was an Israeli drone attack off the coast of Malta…[on] Friday.” Per CNN, the ship was due to make port in Malta and pick up “a large contingent of activists” there before departing for Gaza. These included environmental activist Greta Thunberg and retired US Army Colonel Mary Ann Wright. Thunberg said this flotilla “is one of many attempts to open up a humanitarian corridor and…[try] to break Israel's illegal siege on Gaza,” adding “for two months now, not a single bottle of water has entered Gaza…it's a systematic starvation of 2 million people.” The United Nations World Food Programme said this week “its warehouses are…empty; soup kitchens that are still running are severely rationing their last stocks; and what little food remains in Gaza's markets is being sold for exorbitant prices that most cannot afford.”3. Pro-Palestine activists scored a major victory in Michigan this week. The Guardian reports, “Michigan's attorney general, Dana Nessel, announced on Monday that she was dropping all charges against seven pro-[Palestine] demonstrators arrested last May at a University of Michigan encampment.” As this report notes, “The announcement came just moments before the judge was to decide on a defense motion to disqualify Nessel's office over alleged bias.” The Guardian itself published a major report “detailing Nessel's extensive personal, financial and political connections to university regents calling for the activists to be prosecuted,” last October. Defense attorney Amir Makled is quoted saying “This was a case of selective prosecution…rooted in bias, not in public safety issues…We're hoping this sends a message to other institutions locally and nationally that protest is not a crime, and dissent is not disorder.”4. In another legal victory, Prem Thakker reported on May 6th that “A federal court has [denied] the Trump administration's attempt to move Mahmoud Khalil's case…out of New Jersey.” The government attempted to move the venue to Louisiana, where they have Khalil detained. A press release by the ACLU, their New York and New Jersey affiliates, and the Center for Constitutional Rights states, “It is the fundamental job of the judiciary to stand up to…government manipulation of our basic rights. We hope the court's order sends a strong message to other courts around the country facing government attempts to shop for favorable jurisdictions by moving people detained on unconstitutional immigration charges around and making it difficult or impossible for their lawyers to know where to seek their immediate release.”5. Trump has released his budget for Fiscal Year 2026. This budget cuts nondefense spending by 23%, per Reuters, while allocating 75% of discretionary spending to military and police, per Stephen Semler of the Cost of War Project. This includes a 13% increase in military spending that tips the Pentagon budget over $1 trillion for the first time. So much for increasing government efficiency.6. At the same time, this country's infrastructure and transportation safety agencies continue to crumble. Just this week, NPR reported “Hundreds of flight delays and cancellations…[hit]… Newark Liberty International Airport at once: [due to] air traffic controller staffing shortages, aging technology, bad weather and the closure of one of the airport's busiest runways.” The air traffic controller staffing shortages, a chronic issue, has been compounded in recent months by the mass layoffs initiated by the Trump administration. NBC News reports that one air traffic controller handling Newark airspace said, “Don't fly into Newark. Avoid Newark at all costs.”7. It might be nice to have competent, energetic leadership among the Democrats on the House Oversight Committee right about now. Unfortunately, the party opted to install 75-year-old, cancer-ridden Gerry Connolly to serve as Ranking Member on that committee instead of AOC. Now, Axios reports Connolly is stepping down from this position after just four months and will not seek reelection to his seat in Congress, citing his declining health. AOC, once-bitten, has opted not to seek the position a second time, the Hill reports. Instead, the top contenders emerging to fill Conolly's seat are Stephen Lynch, a 70-year-old Congressman who won his seat in 2001 and is currently filling Conolly's role on an interim basis, and Eleanor Holmes-Norton, the non-voting delegate representing Washington D.C. Norton is the most senior Democrat on the committee at 87-years-old, having assumed office in 1991.8. Another ghost is coming back to haunt the Democrats: former Senator Bob Menendez. The New Jersey Globe reports, “The New Jersey Attorney General's office will seek a court order to permanently bar…Menendez from ever holding public employment in the state following his conviction on federal corruption charges last year.” Critically if a Superior Court judge approves the action, Menendez could lose his state pension. Menendez still draws over $1,000 per month from his New Jersey public employee pension, even after being sentenced to 11 years in prison for corruption last July. More recently, Menendez has sought to cozy up to Trump in an effort to obtain a pardon. So far, no dice.9. In some positive news, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum continues an unbelievable run. Back in April, KJZZ reported that Mexico will invest nearly $3 billion in “food sovereignty,” to “produce more staples like corn, beans and rice in Mexico over the next five years.” This money will be directed at small and medium sized farms in Mexico and is intended to anchor both the rural economy and the nation's food supply amidst the growing uncertainty of trade with the United States vis a vis Trump's erratic trade policy. Then, after May Day, Labor Minister Marath Bolaños said that “before the end of President Claudia Sheinbaum's term…the government would gradually install a…40-hour workweek,” Mexico News Daily reports. The standard workweek in Mexico currently sits at 48 hours. As this report notes, the 40-hour workweek is Number 60 on Sheinbaum's list of 100 promises. Americans can only dream of having a government that even makes that many promises, let alone keeps them. Perhaps the most impressive of Sheinbaum's recent actions however is her recent rejection of Trump's attempt to strongarm her into allowing American troops to enter Mexico. Democracy Now! reports Sheinbaum told the American president, “The territory is sacrosanct. Sovereignty is sacrosanct. Sovereignty is not for sale.”10. Finally, on the other end of the presidential spectrum, there's Trump furiously posting on Truth Social about the “Movie Industry in America…DYING a very fast death,” deeming that this is “a concerted effort by other Nations and, therefore, a National Security threat,” and threatening a “100% Tariff on any and all Movies coming into our Country that are produced in Foreign Lands.” Obviously, this screed is basically nonsensical and it remains to be seen what will actually come of this threat, but what is notable is the response from organized labor. The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) issued a statement threading the needle between supporting Trump's effort to “return and maintain U.S. film and television jobs, while not…harming the industry overall.” On the other hand, the Teamsters – led by Sean O'Brien who has tied himself to Trump more and more since he spoke at the 2024 RNC – issued a statement “thank[ing] President Trump for boldly supporting good union jobs when others have turned their heads.” Would such a policy truly revitalize the workforce of the American entertainment industry? We'll have to wait for the sequel to find out.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard. Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe

May 7, 2025 ~ Attorney General Dana Nessel has dropped charges against pro-Palestinian protestors arrested at the University of Michigan. Amir Mackled, partner at Hall Mackled and representative of a protestor, joins Lloyd, Jamie, and Chris Renwick to discuss the belief of charges being dropped due to political considerations rather than legal merit.

Felix speaks with Nora Hilgart-Griff from the TAHRIR Coalition and Liz Jacob from the Sugar Law Center for Social and Economic Justice about the Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel collaborating with the Trump DOJ in a series of raids on pro-Palestine students at the University of Michigan on April 23. Liz and Nora give background on Nessel's previous intimidation campaign at the university, the administration's attempts to repress the student movement against the genocide, TAHRIR Coalition's work on divestment, and much more. You're going to want to hear this whether you're a Yooper, a Detroiter, or even a recently incarcerated jewel thief who assumed the identity of a sheriff so he can stare at his ex-girlfriend in a small Pennsylvania town where everyone is a violent criminal. Update: On Monday, 5/5/25, all charges against the students have been dropped.

Here are 3 big things you need to know—   One —   U.S. stock futures are on the decline ahead of a new trading week on Wall Street.  Dow Jones Industrial, S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures all fell roughly four percent Sunday.  Things haven't been much better overnight, with Dow futures having lost around 13-points - or more than three percent.  This comes after the Dow saw back-to-back losses of over 15-hundred points for the first time ever last week, while the S&P took a six-percent nosedive Friday, the worst since March 2020.   Two ----   Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has joined a coalition of 19 attorneys general in suing President Trump over his executive order on voting restrictions.  The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court in Massachusetts and says voting restrictions are not authorized by the U.S. Constitution or by Congress.  Nessel says Trump's order is trying to force state election officials to impose overly burdensome proof of citizenship requirements when people register to vote.    And number three ---- U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi says that she has received death threats for seeking the death penalty against Luigi Mangione. Mangione, accused of killing the CEO of UnitedHealthCare, has pleaded not guilty to state murder and terrorism charges.  His defense attorney has said the allegations were brought by a lawless Justice Department that is being guided by a political decision to seek the death penalty.

Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib recently accused Michigan state attorney general Dana Nessel's office of “bias” when Nessel decided to pursue charges against pro-Palestinian protesters that she had not pursued against individuals arrested for protesting against other issues. CNN hosts Jake Tapper and Dana Bash then spread the lie that Tlaib had said Nessel made the decision because she's Jewish, something Tlaib never said.   Tapper and Bash then went on to decry the prevalence of antisemitism (“It's everywhere”) before being forced to issue half-hearted “corrections.”   Plus segments on former CDC head Robert Redfield admitting that RFK jr. was right about COVID, Joe Biden responding to increased violence in the Middle East by sending more U.S. troops there, Donald Trump admitting he just does what his wealthy donors ask of him and Sopranos actress Drea de Matteo arguing that more Hollywood celebrities should speak out against Kamala Harris.   Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae.

He also stresses the importance of the Michigan Supreme Court races, and to vote for Kyra Harris Bolden and Kimberly Thomas. Pat shows how MAGA Michigan Republican attacks on immigrants will hurt our state economy. And he closes the segment showing how Michigan Democrats keep producing results that actually helps the people and the state. 19:16-35:40: The Smearing of Rashida Tlaib This week's elongated "Last Call" has Pat talking about the disgusting smear attacks against Michigan Democratic Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib. Tlaib criticized Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel for charging pro-Palestine protesters on the University of Michigan campus. She gave an interview with The Detroit Metro Times' Steve Nealing in which Tlaib continued her criticisms of Nessel. That criticism led to the corporate media pressing a narrative that Tlaib used antisemitic language in her attacks against Nessel. However, Steve Nealing himself took to social media to attack media organizations, like CNN, for accusing Tlaib of antisemitism by claiming she said something... she never said! And even worse, a couple of Michigan Democrats jumped aboard the smear before ever reading the story. Nealing provided a "fact-check" piece to this story as well. 35:41-37:56: Ending Please, subscribe to the podcast, download each episode, and give it a good review if you can! leftoflansing@gmail.com Left of Lansing is now on YouTube as well! leftoflansing.com

Republican lawmakers are not the only ones raising concerns about Michigan's minimum wage changes. Attorney General Dana Nessel has filed a motion with the state's Supreme Court, asking for guidance on how to implement inflation adjustments. Nessel specifically pointed out how the court's broad language in its July ruling could lead to five possible options for when and how to adjust the minimum wage over time, with the state Department of Treasury's approach and the Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity's approach also at odds with each other. Support this podcast: https://secure.anedot.com/franklin-news-foundation/ce052532-b1e4-41c4-945c-d7ce2f52c38a?source_code=xxxxxxFull story: https://www.thecentersquare.com/michigan/article_2392c5f2-60b8-11ef-849d-c7d19f4e90d5.html

'Good luck' prying off her wedding ring, Nessel tells US Supreme Court at DNC New Wayne County mpox case reported amid concern of more transmissible, severe strain DTE asking customers to pick up the tab for trips on private corporate jets

The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals denied Enbridge Energy's request for the Line 5 lawsuit Nessel v. Enbridge to receive a rehearing in federal court, returning the case to state court. The court Enbridge had missed the 30-day deadline after Nessel filed the lawsuit in June 2019 to appeal moving the case to federal court, and that it relied on improper arguments when doing so. The Canadian company had proposed boring a tunnel under the Straits of Mackinac to house the pipeline more than five years ago. Nessel's case seeks to void a 1953 exception to environmental rules which allowed that section of the pipeline to operate, arguing the environmental risks posed by the pipeline are too great.Support this podcast: https://secure.anedot.com/franklin-news-foundation/ce052532-b1e4-41c4-945c-d7ce2f52c38a?source_code=xxxxxxFull story: https://www.thecentersquare.com/michigan/article_ffa2e8fa-5e39-11ef-ad84-b3ce178284da.html

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel recently highlighted the need for the state government and the media to work together in combating election misinformation, as public trust in the media has hit an all-time low.

When it's the same operation over and over again, people catch on. Trying to make narrative building look fresh and new is hard. The agency is no longer writing scripts. Yes, it was even commercials too. The media are weapons of war. There's a division devoted to meme warfare. Harris has a VP list. Paraphrasing so as not to burn sources. It was a strategic Vance appointment. Focusing on Kamm's negative impact. Welcoming America brings in illegal migrants. City budges gravely corrupted. J6 was a media operation using familiar right and left assets. J13 was similar. We The People are now the news. Protecting the crypt of the old guard. Delegates are secured and Act Blue is making moves. It all started in 2004 with Karl Rove. No Kamala, no money. Don't get on her plane. FBI militia setups. When courts are used as weapons against citizens. Who controls the jury wheel selection software? Attorney's must abide by the bar rules. When states and feds team up to entrap citizens. Falsely accused and forced to face both Nessel and Whitmer. An interview with Eric J. Molitor. It's all about faith. We must wear it like armor.

But criminal activity is part of the MAGA game as one of Dear Leader Trump's spiritual advisors admitted he molested a 12-year old girl.

The case involves a Catholic school in Michigan that is asking the court to protect its ability to hire staff who align with its faith.The Michigan Supreme Court reinterpreted a state civil rights statute's definition of sex in July 2022 to include sexual orientation without any exemption for religious organizations. In March 2023, the Michigan legislature wrote this into state law, expressly prohibiting discrimination on sexual orientation or gender identity. The school's right to hire staff who hold its views on marriage and gender is at risk. St. Joseph's asks all staff to be practicing Catholics and uphold the faith. Senior Counsel at the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty Will Haun argued the case before the Sixth Circuit Court on June 11. He joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss what the case means for Christian institutions nationwide. Enjoy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
