Podcasts about pema levy

It's been a while since we've had our friends from the 5-4 podcast on KYE, and we thought there was no better time to do so than the weeks before Donald Trump is inaugurated, again, as president. As listeners might guess, we wanted to talk to them about what opportunities Trump might have during his second term to reshape the federal judiciary—and if he can secure the confirmations of Kash Patel at the FBI and Pam Bondi as Attorney General, perhaps a lot more than that. Topics include: President Biden's successes, and failures, when it comes to the courts, and what he's handing off to Trump; what kind of judges Trump is likely to appoint; if there's a MAGA wing of the conservative legal movement now, akin to Project 2025 or the America First Policy Institute; whether Justice Alito is a Fox News uncle or an OAN uncle; and more.Further Reading:Myah Ward & Betsy Woodruff Swan, "Trump's plan to end birthright citizenship could be decided by the Supreme Court," Politico, Dec 14, 2024.Pema Levy, "How Much More Radical Could the Supreme Court Become?

Tears on the Senate floor. Shocking footage of the insurrection. A bumbling and widely panned performance by Donald Trump's legal team. The former president's second impeachment has now moved to trial, and House Democrats came prepared. A little over one month after a riotous mob laid siege to the very chamber in which the trial was now taking place, Democrats presented such a damning trail of evidence that that it caused one GOP senator, Bill Cassidy, to change his vote on the trial's constitutionality. Mother Jones national political reporter Pema Levy joins Jamilah King from DC to recap and explain what went down on Day One. Pema explains how the House impeachment managers, led by Rep. Jamie Raskin, a constitutional scholar, will set out to prove Trump responsible for the deadly attack. Meanwhile, Republican Senators are expected to try to wiggle out of the toxic political shadow of their former president by sticking to an argument that the proceedings are unconstitutional, letting Trump get off scot-free. Trump's acquittal is all but a foregone conclusion, and the trial is expected to be an unusually swift one. But as Pema explains, what happens over the next week or so will still be incredibly consequential and perhaps even more damaging for Republicans than Trump's first impeachment.

On today's show: Everything you need to know about this infuriating, scary, hopeful, dumb, and exciting final sprint to the polls. Simply surviving this next week is going to be a feat of endurance—and then there's election night itself. But don't worry. We're here. October surprises are a staple of every election cycle, and this time the Mother Jones Podcast is bringing you one of our own: our first-ever live show! Eight Mother Jones reporters from across the country joined host Jamilah King this week for a free-wheeling and informative Zoom discussion of the most important issues facing voters as the country staggers into the final week before Election Day on November 3. This all-star cast dissects Trump's familiar smear tactics (he still thinks this is 2016) and what those latest polling and early voting numbers really tell us about the results. We tackle the question, “Could Trump still win?” and get into voter suppression, immigration, disinformation, and the weaponization of white supremacy—and how to stay calm as a patchwork of results roll in next week. Join Nathalie Baptiste, Ari Berman, Ali Breland, David Corn, Fernanda Echavarri, Pema Levy, Tim Murphy, and Kara Voght for an election episode unlike anything we've ever done before. We're almost there. Now, it's all come down to this. Rewatch the full livestream on YouTube or Facebook, or at motherjones.com.

CNN had a line up of five Democratic presidential hopefuls Monday night: Amy Klobuchar, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Kamala Harris, and Pete Buttigieg. One question that all candidates couldn't avoid was their positions on impeachment hearings. Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris were in favor of impeachment, while the rest of the candidates left that option up to Congress. The Democratic Party seems to be split on whether or not to start the impeachment process. With 2020 quickly approaching, the Party has to consider the smartest way to handle this issue. Will the Democratic Party focus more on kitchen table issues and beating Trump in 2020 or hold the President accountable for his actions?Today's guest are Brian Lamb, Sabrina Siddiqui, and Pema Levy.

While AG Barr sent a letter summarizing the Mueller Report, the public has not seen the full story. Until that happens, we shouldn't believe a word of what AG Barr has to say about it. Democratic leaders are calling for the full release of the report and suggested that Mueller and Barr should come testify on the hill. Now that Trump seems to think he's off the hook, he's taking aim at people who dared support the Mueller investigation. No one likes a sore winner. We talk to Graham Vyse from Governing Magazine, Pema Levy from Mother Jones and Ed Chung from the Center for American Progress.

Last Friday, at least 50 people were killed at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand. While the perpetrator's exact path to radicalization is still unknown, one thing has become increasingly clear: This was an attack crafted by the internet and for the internet, representing a new level of super-viral violence. The Christchurch shooter exploited an unwitting ally in the form of giant tech companies, who have proven themselves unable or unwilling to stop the spread of hate speech on their platforms. In doing so, he immediately turned some of America's most profitable and influential companies into distributors of a lurid white nationalist recruitment video. Joining host Jamilah King are two experts on social media platforms and how they operate, Mother Jones reporters Ali Breland and Pema Levy. Also on the show, our National Affairs Editor, Mark Follman, describes how the rise of a global white supremacist movement combined with the rise of Trumpism, to create a highly combustible fuel for this kind of extreme violence.

The Republican Senate will take a vote to either support or denounce Donald Trump's national emergency declaration. There have been a handful of Republicans who have voiced their concern over Trump's drastic measure, but will they actually walk the walk and vote against Trump? The field of 2020 candidates continues to materialize. There were a few potential Democratic candidates who said they will NOT run in 2020. What does that mean to the larger field? And does Bernie still have the energy that he had in 2016?Guest host Sabrina Siddiqui welcomes Lauren Gambino from The Guardian, Matt Gertz from Media Matters and Pema Levy from Mother Jones!

A HUGE story by Buzzfeed says that Donald Trump instructed Michael Cohen to lie in front of Congress. That absolutely reaches the definition of obstruction of justice. What are the next steps? How will the GOP respond?Donald Trump hits back at Nancy Pelosi over the shutdown in a very petty way. We have all the details and try to figure out WHEN this shutdown might actually end. Guest host Sabrina Siddiqui talks to The Hill's Juliegrace Brufke, HuffPost's Ryan J Reilly and Pema Levy from Mother Jones.

With the news that John Kelly is leaving his post as Chief of Staff for Donald Trump, the White House is having a very hard time finding a new one. Trump thought he could hire Mike Pence's chief of staff, Nick Ayers, but he left his post and went back to private business. No one wants this job because working for Donald Trump is an impossible job! We talk to Kelly Dietrich, Founder of the National Democratic Training Committee, Tiffany Muller, the President of End Citizens United and Politics Reporter for Mother Jones, Pema Levy!

The midterms aren't over: votes are being counted and recounted in key battleground states. This week, we take you directly to Broward County, Florida, where reporter Pema Levy is staking out the local elections offices, awaiting results from a dramatic statewide recount, as streets heat up with protesters. We also go to Atlanta, where senior editor Kiera Butler brings you the latest from the nail-biting Georgia Governor's race, between Democrat Stacey Abrams and Republican Brian Kemp.

On this late-breaking episode: How to understand this historic night as the political makeup of the country is being written in real-time—like, as we record. Despite some big losses and reports of long lines at the polls, the Democrats had a huge night. D.C. Bureau chief David Corn and reporter Pema Levy join us from Washington to discuss some of the midterm's highest highs and lowest lows. Ari Berman, our resident voting rights expert, and senior reporter Tim Murphy discuss voter suppression, which politicians to watch, and what's next for America. Settle in as host Jamilah King guides you through one of the most exciting political events since that fated night in 2016.

“If hackers target this November's midterm elections, the consequences could be far more serious than the mostly quiet probing of 2016 and would fall on an electorate that has yet to receive a full reckoning of Russia's attack,” reads Mother Jones reporters AJ Vicens and Pema Levy's latest article “The Midterm Elections Are in Serious Danger of Being Hacked, Thanks to Trump. Hackers could try to create chaos by causing machines to malfunction, deleting properly registered voters, or even going so far as manipulating vote totals.” On this week's TrumpWatch, Pema discusses critical vulnerabilities in America's voting system.

(10/17/18) “If hackers target this November’s midterm elections, the consequences could be far more serious than the mostly quiet probing of 2016 and would fall on an electorate that has yet to receive a full reckoning of Russia’s attack,” write Mother Jones reporters AJ Vicens and Pema Levy in their article “The Midterm Elections Are in Serious Danger of Being Hacked, Thanks to Trump. Hackers could try to create chaos by causing machines to malfunction, deleting properly registered voters, or even going so far as manipulating vote totals.” In this week’s “TrumpWatch” on WBAI, host Jesse Lent talks to Pema about what her reporting reveals about critical vulnerabilities in America’s voting system and what this means as we head into the 2018 midterms.

We knew that there was going to be an FBI investigation into Brett Kavanaugh. It's officially underway. They've spoken to Mark Judge, who may be the key to the whole story. Democrats rightly complained that the scope was too narrow and on Monday, Trump implied that the FBI was expanding the scope of their investigation. Will the American public get the information that they deserve? Will it be enough to stop Kavanaugh?We talk to Addy Baird from ThinkProgress, Sabrina Siddiqui from The Guardian and Pema Levy from Mother Jones.

In a fiery display on the Hill, Democrats tried to stop the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) called it "mob rule." Wait, isn't HE supposed to be in charge? Bob Woodward has a new book out that details more insanity from the Trump White House. Screaming at staffers, losing his cool, and more beating up on Jeff Sessions. Is this shocking to anyone? Plus, John McCain's replacement is named and a major political figure is NOT running for re-election. We talk to Elizabeth Beavers from Indivisible, Xochitl Hinojosa from the DNC and Pema Levy from Mother Jones!

The midterm elections are in serious danger of being hacked. Why has the White House and its GOP allies in Congress done so little to combat the threat? On this week's episode, reporters Pema Levy and AJ Vicens discuss their new investigation into the escalating danger Russia poses to the 2018 elections. Also on the show, MoJo DC bureau chief David Corn breaks down the biggest misconception about Robert Mueller's endgame.

Donald Trump walked back the walk back to the walk back. He once again said that he doesn't believe that Russia is still meddling in our elections. The White House and Sarah Huckabee Sanders lies for him AGAIN. The press stood up to the White House yesterday and backed her into a corner. How long can they keep this lying up?We talk to Asawin Suebsang from The Daily Beast, Hunter Walker from Yahoo News and Pema Levy from Mother Jones.

Uh, things are real bad. Josh and Ryan are a bit at their wit's end this week, making 122 not a particularly happy-go-lucky episode of Tomorrow. Also, Josh has thoughts about his Blackberry. So at least there's that. Thankfully, we've got Pema Levy, a reporter from Mother Jones, to help us sort through the torrent of confusing news from the US Supreme Court. Is any of that news good? No, no it is not. But it's massively important. Unlike Josh's Blackberry. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

As the nation reels from the sounds of crying migrant children separated from parents at the border, the Mother Jones Podcast turns to those who are desperately waiting for answers. Texas Tribune investigative reporter Neena Satija takes you to the international bridge between the US and Mexico where asylum seekers are forced to mark time, sometimes for days, struggling to find loved ones missing in the system. Meanwhile, one of Trump's most contentious policies is here to stay: Mother Jones reporter Pema Levy breaks down this week's Travel Ban decision from the Supreme Court. We reconnect with Anthony, featured in Episode 3, to find out what the ruling means for him and his boyfriend, Reza, an Iranian refugee who had to flee the country when the police found out he was gay. Also in this week's show, we hear from our LGBTQ listeners about which TV and movie characters they thought were queer (even when the writers didn't intend them to be.) Follow us on Twitter: @MoJoPodcast.

Bloodshed in Israel as Palestinian protesters were gunned down by armed Israeli forces. Everyone has warned Trump about moving the embassy to Jerusalem and he just doesn't care. Will it matter?We talk to Jack Jenkins from Religion News Service about the controversial speakers at the embassy's opening and where this could all lead. Friend of Bill Sabrina Siddiqui talks news of the day with Pema Levy from Mother Jones!

Donald Trump is proposing the death penalty for drug dealers as part of his plan to combat the opioid crisis. To think we've fallen so far with regards to criminal justice reform. We talk to Ed Chung from the Center for American Progress about it. Plus, the chaos at the White House doesn't appear to be slowing down. Niall Stanage from The Hill and Pema Levy from Mother Jones join us.

Donald Trump is waging war against his own FBI. The memo is coming and the GOP might be overplaying their hand. Trump laid out his intention to get something done on infrastructure in the SOTU, but can he get it done? The Hill's Melanie Zanona tells us. Plus, an update on the Russia investigation with Pema Levy from Mother Jones and Faiz Shakir from the ACLU is in studio!

Amid reports that Trump is losing his mind, and has lost the confidence of his Cabinet, he wants us all to know that he's a "very stable genius." Guest host Sabrina Siddiqui walked us through the wacky weekend of Trump with guests Andrew Restuccia from Politico, Pema Levy from Mother Jones and Igor Bobic from HuffPost. Plus, could we be looking at President Oprah?
