Jen Psaki breaks down how Donald Trump is trying to distract voters with hateful rhetoric while Kamala Harris continues to rise in polls. Senator Raphael Warnock joins Jen for a wide-ranging conversation, covering Georgia's election board voting to require ballots to be hand-counted, as well as the not safe for work revelations about the Republican candidate for Governor in North Carolina, self-described "Black Nazi," Mark Robinson. Next, Donald Trump's niece, Mary Trump, joins to discuss her new book, her uncle's apparent mental decline and his misogynistic comments about Kamala Harris. Later, in light of Mark Robinson's racist comments on a porn site, Jen explores his history of bigoted rhetoric and explains why this type of scandal is par for the course in the GOP. Anderson Clayton, chair of the North Carolina Democratic Party, also joins the show to discuss how Robinson's scandal may affect both the presidential race and down-ballot races in the state. Finally, Jen is joined by Quentin Fulks, Harris-Walz campaign principal deputy campaign manager, to discuss the likelihood of a second debate between Trump and Harris, voter suppression, and more. Check out our social pages below:https://twitter.com/InsideWithPsakihttps://www.instagram.com/InsideWithPsaki/https://www.tiktok.com/@insidewithpsakihttps://www.msnbc.com/jen-psaki

North Carolina is one of the most interesting swing states in this election. Democrats have not won the Tar Heel state at the presidential level since 2008 when Barack Obama won it. It was a close race in 2020 and recent polling has shown Harris and Trump neck and neck in the state. There's a lot to unpack about what's going on. Anderson Clayton is the chair of the North Carolina Democratic Party.  Elected at 25 years old, she is the youngest chair of a state Democratic Party in the U.S. Clayton joins WITHpod to discuss her political trajectory, the state of North Carolina politics, key issues including gerrymandering, her experience at the DNC and more. 

Tune in here to this ​Wednesday edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen! Breaking Brett Jensen kicks the show off by talking about the controversy involving the Gaston County Schools and the Harris-Walls political campaign. He explains that an operative named Reed Brunig, associated with the Harris-Walls 2024 Victory Campaign and the North Carolina Democratic Party, sent emails to around 400 teachers and school administrators in Gaston County. The emails encouraged them to forward information to their students about volunteering for the Harris-Walls campaign.  and Jensen emphasizes that this action is illegal, as it involves using public school resources (emails and communication platforms) for political campaigning, which is against North Carolina law. He cites specific state statutes and school board policies that prohibit government employees, including teachers, from using public resources to endorse or oppose political candidates or causes. Some teachers and administrators allegedly forwarded the email to students and parents, violating these rules.  Listen here for all of this and more on Breaking With Brett Jensen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Should that happen, would worried Republicans turn to Haley instead?"Let's say that Trump goes into the convention as a convicted felon (and) enough Republicans who they're at the convention say, I can't support a convicted felon, right?", suggests Dixie Dem Arthur Hill of North Carolina."So switching my vote to Nikki Haley and Haley comes out of the convention as the as the candidate. And I think that's bad news for Democrats because I think Nikki Haley has a much better shot at beating Biden than Trump does," he says.And what about Fulton County, GA prosecutor Fani T. Willis? Will she be kicked off the Georgia case involving Con-man Don's attempts to overturn the 2020 election in her state? If so, what happens then?"Not a damn thing," says Dixie Dem Robert Thompson, of Georgia.There's much more.The conversation turns to the fact that Georgia Republican Congressman Barry Loudermilk led a tour of the Capitol basement on Jan. 5, 2020, the day before the MAGA attack on the Capitol -- something that could have aided protestors' efforts to interfere with the official vote count. Meanwhile, Loudermilk voted to impeach Homeland Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over immigration issues.Hill talks about the new North Carolina Democratic Party chair, Anderson Clayton, 26, who is determined to generate Democratic support among young and rural voters. And, says Hill, answering voters who say they can't vote for Biden, Clayton responds by saying, "We can push Joe Biden if he's not as progressive as we want him to be, but we cannot push Donald Trump. We can't push a Donald Trump who doesn't want young people to have a right to vote. We can't push a Donald Trump. Who doesn't want young people to have a right to abortion. We can push a president who cares about and believes in young people.""She's full of those kinds of quotes," says Hill. "She's a tremendous orator and and she's she's creating a lot of excitement up here. And I think it's going to bode well for the Democrats in North Carolina in November."Even pop star Taylor Swift finds herself in this episode, as Dixie Dem Bob Gatty, of South Carolina, points out that she's being accused by Republicans of being part of a covert government effort to defeat Con-man Trump.It's another entertaining episode of the Dixie Dems.

Anderson Clayton is the youngest state party Chair in the United States.  She and Roger discuss North Carolina politics: how it's a key target for the Biden campaign to flip in November, her efforts to attract more rural voters, the issues that will play with young voters in the state, changing demographics of the NC electorate, and more.

As North Carolina's March 5 primary looms, there's not much competition at the presidential level on the Democratic side. President Joe Biden will be the only name on the ballot here, but there are plenty of races worth watching further down the Democratic Party ballot for governor, Council of State and legislative seats. Will low turnout lead to some surprise results? Will votes in support of Republican legislation cost several incumbent Democrats their seats in the state House and Senate?To sort through the Democratic primary ballot, WUNC spoke with Sen. Graig Meyer, D-Orange, and Kimberly Reynolds, former executive director of North Carolina Democratic Party and a partner in the consulting firm Maven Strategies.

President Biden's campaign launches their effort to "defend democracy" while the North Carolina Democratic Party removes all challengers from their primary ballot. The "Help Not Harm" bill gets a hearing in SC on Tuesday. What's in it and how is the local media reacting? Plus, California is now offering free sex changes to illegal immigrants and Star Wars new director says her chief aim is to make men uncomfortable.

Republicans in North Carolina are taking voter suppression and election subversion to a new level. Anderson Clayton, chair of the North Carolina Democratic Party, joins to discuss anti-democratic acts from the GOP, redistricting, how she plans to engage young and rural voters, plus, who exactly is the interim speaker of the U.S. House?

In local news, the Boone Police Department will be introducing a new social work program with the goal to bridge the gap between social work and law enforcement. According to reports from the Watauga Democrat, officials hope that the program will be a model for other local similar-sized agencies. Boone Police Chief Andy Le Beau said the police department has been overutilized in the past for mental health emergencies because of their 24/7 immediate response. Le Beau said “by trying something new and innovative, we hope to really better serve the community and kind of fill the gap that's there now.” Le Beau hopes the program will work by providing resources to people in need of help that law enforcement and social workers are unable to provide. In North Carolina news, Dave Matthews will be coming to perform in Raleigh to help bring out Democratic voters. According to reports from the Raleigh News & Observer, the “Crash Into Me” singer will perform on October 25 at The Ritz for the North Carolina Democratic Party's get-out-the-vote concert.

In U.S. news, a Vermont town employee has resigned after revealing that they had been lowering the fluoride levels in the town's drinking water for years. According to reports from the Associated Press, Kendall Chamberlain disclosed that the state fluoride levels have not been within the recommended range for the past decade which came as a shock due to previous reports that stated the levels weren't within the recommended range for four years . This was revealed in his five page resignation letter he submitted Monday. Chamberlain conceded that fluoridation is voluntary and the levels aren't mandated. According to state officials, towns that fluoridate municipal water must maintain levels within the state's recommendations and submit monthly reports to the Health Department.

Hey everyone, welcome to the party! Our first guest is the DNC's Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Tamara Chrisler, who talks about the many ways the Democrats are prioritizing our DEI work.

I believe it's impossible not to like Nida Allam. In our conversations, the 28 year-old elected official comes across as thoroughly honest, hardworking, and brilliant. Did I mention she's a genuinely kind person? That, too.Last year, Allam was elected to the Durham County Board of Commissioners in North Carolina, receiving the most votes of any commission candidate (voters could choose five), the first Muslim woman elected to any office in the state AND completing the first all-woman Board of Commissioners in the county's history. This followed her historic election in 2017 as one of the Vice Chairs of the North Carolina Democratic Party and appointment as Chair of the Durham Mayor's Council for Women, the first Muslim American to achieve both. You might be wondering: what's the rush? Why is this 28 year-old accelerating into her political career?On February 10, 2015, a racist terrorist whose name I would rather not mention murdered 23 year-old Deah Shaddy Barakat, 21 year-old Yusor Mohammad Abu-Salha, and 19 year-old Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha, all of whom were either studying or had graduated from North Carolina colleges. The terrorist lived in the same apartment complex as the victims and claimed the murders were spurred over a supposed parking dispute. Despite a well documented history of anti-Muslim posts on social media by the terrorist, investigations into the shooting felt there wasn't enough evidence to support hate crime charges.Allam had been a bridesmaid in Barakat's wedding only two months prior to the shooting. She waited in the parking lot of the apartment complex with friends and family until midnight to find out from police if their loved ones had been confirmed dead.Her response to this unimaginable, violent tragedy was to be part of the solution, and in her mind, representation in elected office was the way forward. And she had no time to waste.The district she's running to represent, NC-06, is not only overwhelmingly Democratic but more than half of it is composed of Durham County, where Allam had an incredibly strong and successful showing in her election last year.In talking to Allam, what I love most about her is the full heart she seems to place at the center of this campaign. Yes, she would certainly make history as only the third Muslim woman elected to Congress, but for her, serving in such a historic context plays a distant second to her insatiable desire to help others. To put it plainly: I'm quite a fan of this young leader, and it's why I'm supporting her for Congress.Tonight, I'll be chatting with Allam on Twitter Spaces, a new function of that terrible hellsite that permits folks to gather in audio rooms for conversation. It's probably the best new function Twitter's ever introduced.Our conversation will begin at 6pm ET, and I hope you'll join us. I think you'll see why Nida Allam makes me excited for the future. In the meantime, please donate to her campaign. It's arguably the best possible single campaign investment you can make toward Midterms.Hi, I'm Charlotte Clymer, and this is Charlotte's Web Thoughts, my Substack.

In this episode of Keiser Report, Max and Stacy discuss the new study from the Economic Policy Institute which proves that China’s ascension to the WTO did, indeed, cause nearly 4 million manufacturing job losses. Furthermore, the trade deficit has directly impacted wages negatively to the tune of $37 billion per year.

What exactly is at stake at this point in the race? And what is the plan for Mayor Bloomberg who doesn’t enter the ballot until Super Tuesday? Will there be a brokered convention? What does that look like?

In this episode of Keiser Report, Max and Stacy discuss the plunging commodity markets across the world and the limit down tumbles in many Chinese indices as the coronavirus fear grips Asia. In the meantime, Trump delivers the state of the union amidst an ongoing market euphoria in which, for the first time ever, there are four companies worth over $1 trillion: Microsoft, Apple, Google and Amazon . . . aka MAGA. In the second half, Max interviews Randy Voller, the former head of the North Carolina Democratic Party, to find out his thoughts on the Iowa fiasco in which no clear winner emerged but one big loser did: the Democratic Party leadership. The mysterious company behind the app which caused the chaos has created a crisis in the party, and how will that be remedied before the New Hampshire primary next week? Tune into hear what Randy Voller has to say on this.

Wayne Goodwin is the current Chair of the North Carolina Democratic Party. He joined me to discuss the debacle that is the North Carolina 9th Congressional District.

First show of season 2! It is Black History Month and I have the honor to share a conversation with award winning filmmaker Chris Everett. We talk about his award winning documentary "Wilmington on Fire". "The Wilmington Massacre was a bloody attack on the African-American community by a heavily armed white mob with the support of the North Carolina Democratic Party on November 10, 1898 in the port city of Wilmington, North Carolina. It is considered one of the only successful examples of a coup d'état in the United States that left countless numbers of African-American citizens dead and exiled from the city. This event was the spring board for the white supremacy movement and Jim Crow segregation throughout the state of North Carolina and the American South. “Wilmington on Fire” gives a compelling historical and present day look at this event showing how the violent overthrow of an existing government not only cemented white supremacy in the city of Wilmington and the state of North --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/the-dope-science-show/message

Today’s guest, Kerra Bolton, is a journalist turned political communication strategist turned consultant who helps people and businesses get involved in their communities through business activism. Kerra joins Charlie on the show today to discuss what business activism is, and how it’s easier and safer than people think it is. You don’t have to pick the biggest and most controversial topics and alienate your customers to make a difference in your community. Making a difference in your community makes a huge difference to your customers. Key Takeaways: [2:30] - What is business activism? To Kerra, it means using your business to take a stand on social issues and/or to help in your community in some way that makes you a community leader through your business. Also using the resources of your business to meet the challenges and opportunities of your community. [3:35] - Perhaps today more than before, there is a call for more businesses and brands to get involved at a social and political level. Historically, business activism reflects culture. There was not the same call for businesses to take a stand, but many individuals channeled their money into philanthropy. [6:03] - For Kerra, there is a distinction between volunteering (and philanthropy) and activism. Volunteering is taking actions or a series of actions to alleviate suffering in some way. Activism is a set of actions towards changing political or public policy, or making social change via the political system. Business activism is when you as a business owner are using the resources and tools of your business to solve a particular problem in the community that you serve. [8:00] - Charlie shares the Patagonia example of business activism, and the stance they’ve taken in regards to the land of the national parks. This issue is something that is relevant to their business, and part of their business heritage. [11:35] - In addition to heritage, there are some other factors for businesses to consider when taking a stance. One is authenticity - businesses should treat activism as a movement, rather than as a moment. Another thing is team support; team support can help you flesh out ideas and provides different avenues for your activism to play out. The last thing to consider is the relationship your brand has with your audience. It can serve as a portal to deeper your audience’s engagement and inspire them. [14:30] - Business activism doesn’t have to be that extreme or big. There is a range of how much you can get involved, and you can still make a difference. Kerra’s advice is to start local, and look at the needs in your community and the communities that your business serves. This allows you to get involved without necessarily having to jump into the political fray. There are some safe groups you could serve: kids, pets, the elderly, and veterans. [18:11] - Some people may feel that if they get involved in business activism that they will lose customers, and it would be safer to not get involved. There are some benefits though. Getting involved at some level allows you to be part of the change, and also businesses can carry more sway than individuals being involved. [20:50] - Kerra has a background in media and politics. She has an understanding of how government works from the local level all the way up to Congress. After journalism, she joined the North Carolina Democratic Party has a state spokesperson. Kerra has also worked as a lobbyist and helping non-profits share their stories; she’s been very involved in public policy because that what she’s seen be successful in getting things done. [22:40] - Building relationships with your politicians can help with public policy. It’s not really that hard to establish relationships with them. They like knowing what people are saying locally because they don’t receive that information. From a business perspective, prioritizing your employees ability to make appointments to meet with legislators is an indirect way where your business doesn’t have to take a stance, but still supports political involvement. [28:30] - Kerra talks about her experience working with legislators and how her tenacity and persistence helped her develop good relationships with them. [29:35] - Another facet of business activism is community and customer solidarity. As a consumer, having a business or brand stand up for what you believe in gives a sense of community. As a business, you provide solidarity and promote customer loyalty as well as a form of change together. [31:25] - There are some ways not to get involved, and Kerra shares the examples of Pepsi and Papa John’s. It is not as effective for your business to jump in on the news of the day. You want to think long-term and issue-oriented. [35:57] - Social listening is a great opportunity to figure out what your customers are thinking about certain topics. Listening to not only their pain points but also the things that they hope for can help guide your activism. [37:20] - A final thing to consider is supporting a political entity versus a policy. Your donations to political parties can be traced, and a donation can tie you to a party or person. Issue-based advocacy is really the best way to go. [39:38] - Kerra’s invitation for listeners is to get off your phones and social media, and get into your community. Look around and notice who’s not being heard, think about what you love, and do some social listening to see what’s going on. Roll up your sleeves and find a way to get involved.

Actor. author, director. filmmaker and writer Christopher Everett visits The Context of White Supremacy . Mr. Everett is a black male and a North Carolina native. He used his enormous skill to create his first feature-length documentary, Wilmington On Fire. The project investigates the November 10, 1898 coordinated White Terrorist assault on the port city of Wilmington, North Carolina. Black Wilmingtons created a thriving area and were doing considerably well for themselves only thirty years removed from the Civil War. Whites seethed at the thought of "successful" negroes, and White mobs in conjunction with the North Carolina Democratic Party slaughtered countless black citizens; Whites then forced the remaining blacks to leave town. This event is considered a catalyst for extensive White Terrorism throughout the region and was used to loot a gargantuan amount of black owned property. Listeners should remember the work of author and former C.O.W.S. guest Elliot Jaspin. He contends the evidence shows that this type of premeditated White Terrorism and ejection of black citizens happened more than 200 times in United States. #AnswersForMiriamCarey INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/GusTRenegade CALL IN NUMBER: 641.715.3640 CODE: 564943# The C.O.W.S. archives: http://tiny.cc/76f6p
