Plus: "Independents Aren't Real"? Kasich's Partisan Slander, Manchin's New PAC, and 45% of America Says Otherwise. Trump says he's close to an Iran deal. He's been saying he's a week away from a Putin deal for a year and a half. Paul Rieckhoff calls the head fake for what it is, warns the media not to fall for it again, and lays out the chaos Congress is trying to jam through before its six-week recess — including Todd Blanche's nomination and the weaponization fund built to compensate January 6th insurrectionists. The forever wars don't take August off, and neither do we. Then the real story: on August 4th, four independent veterans appear on a single top-two primary ballot in Eastern Washington. Nate Powell for U.S. House, Danny Tarkenton for Spokane County prosecutor, Aaron Croft for the State House, and Ronald McCoy for State Senate. Across those races, roughly 131,000 independents and 53,000 independent veterans can vote — a decisive bloc the corporate media isn't covering. Paul breaks down why open primaries are the battlefield, why John Kasich is wrong that independents aren't real, and what's coming next with Senator Joe Manchin, Heather Manchin, and Senator Angus King joining the show. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Check the IVA overview of Washington State's primary this week.  -Millions of American veterans are being locked out of primary elections in the country they served.

Charlie James reviews the crowded field of candidates for South Carolina's U.S. Senate special primary, responding to listener texts about lesser-known contenders and candidate viability. He focuses heavily on state political developments, highlighting an event at the State House where pro-abortion former Republican State Senator Katrina Shealy introduced Democrat gubernatorial candidate Germaine Johnson as "our Democrat candidate." James argues that Shealy's full endorsement of a Democrat underscores her true political alignment and notes that candidate Darlene Graham's only recorded political donation was to Shealy. The segment concludes with a call from listener Bill discussing potential candidate debates and James reacting to upcoming Trafalgar Group polling numbers.

"Ideastream Explores" Launches Property taxes generate roughly $24 billion annually for local governments and help finance schools, police and fire departments, infrastructure, parks, libraries, and more throughout Ohio. These taxes have become essential for the operation of those services but have also become a financial strain for many across the state. The outcry against that financial burden became so loud, that a group - Ax Ohio Tax - attempted to collect enough signatures to put an initiative to abolish property taxes statewide on November's ballot. Last month, we learned that the group didn't collect enough signatures, but that doesn't mean the conversation about property taxes is over. Monday, Ideastream launches a week of reporting through the 'Ideastream Explores' series digging into property taxes. We learn more about that endeavor on Monday's "Sound of Ideas." Guests: - Justin Glanville, Deputy Editor - Engaged Journalism, Ideastream Public Media Property Tax Legislation After learning about the 'Ideastream Explores' series, we talk to a lawmaker who's been working on legislation addressing property taxes. Rep. David Thomas (R) joins the program to talk about his experience in the state legislature working on bills at the Statehouse to provide some relief to property owners. Guests: - David Thomas, State Representative – District 65 (R) CIFF Shakeup We close show with a look at a leadership change at the Cleveland International Film Festival. This month, the head of CIFF, Hermione Malone, resigned, following a controversial two years in office. The Detroit native's reign included multiple accusations of workplace toxicity. She attributed claims made in 2025 to change in leadership, and said that staff needed to "recalibrate." She also strongly refuted recent claims of verbal and emotional abuse by a former staffer made in April. Guests: - Kabir Bhatia, Senior Arts Reporter, Ideastream Public Media

My guest this week is Steve Ahlquist, an independent reporter who practices what's known as advocacy journalism. Steve has been covering politics and protest in the state of Rhode Island for well over a decade, first at the now-defunct blog RI Future, then at the news website he founded, UpriseRI, and now on his own Substack, Steve Ahlquist News.I first crossed paths with Steve at the RI State House in 2019, when I was testifying in support of the Reproductive Health Care Act and Steve was reporting on the hearing. I spent a lot of time at the State House that year, and I saw Steve at every meeting, rally, and march, filming and reporting. This kind of reporting Steve does isn't the kind that sponsors flock to–and it's the kind that takes a lot of effort, schlepping, and time. In this episode we cover what drives Steve to show up to the extent that he does and how he makes it all work. We covered: - What makes advocacy journalism different than traditional journalism- Why he's more inclined to interview the protestors outside the State House than the governor- The advantages and challenges of working independently- Why an 80-hour workweek doesn't bother him- How he makes money- What his typical day looks likeReach out to Steve at atomicsteve@gmail.com, and check out Steve Ahlquist News at https://steveahlquist.substack.com/.For full show notes with links to everything we discuss, plus bonus photos!, visit katehanley.substack.com.Thank you for listening!

Based on the law it passed in 2025, the statehouse seems to believe that college professors have the power to indoctrinate students, and so SB 1 limits what college professors can teach. The reality is, students' views are shaped largely by peers and broader experiences.Our guest today is Pranav Jani, an Ohio State University Associate Professor of English and the producer of the podcast “Together We Rise: Solidarity Stories from Central Ohio.” Jani disagrees with the view espoused by the law's sponsors. As Jani sees it, students seldom adopt wholesale what they hear from their professors. If anything, students are more inclined to challenge whatever they are told.Jani tries to create a democratic, collaborative classroom to education, and while he discloses his views to his students, his grading is based on how they argue their positions and the research they use to support those positions. Contrary to what Ohio Sen. Jerry Cirino, R-Kirtland, and the other supporters of SB 1 may think, the goal of professors is not to indoctrinate students but to promote critical thinking. Jani discusses with his students, among other things, controversies around activism, Palestine, and shifting definitions of “controversial.” In contrast, SB1 promotes an agenda-driven syllabus that restricts academic freedom. Free speech, Jani explains, differs from academic freedom. Free speech is the right to say anything. Academic freedom is the idea that professors have the right to follow the research wherever it may lead, meaning professors should be allowed to teach the truth, even if it's unpopular.

Mike Collins' son-in-law is a devout white supremacist, but also ... well, Mike Collins' son-in-law ... who until recently appeared all over Mike's campaign site. On to discuss that, the GOP's complex relationship with Israel, the evidence of antisemitism in our political discourse, and her insights into key 2026 Georgia races is former State House candidate and co-host of Georgia NOW's 'At The Kitchen Table' show and podcast, Debra Shigley.

The legislature is still in session, and a massive budget battle is heating up right now!

In episode 187, we sit down with two incredible women running for the Ohio Statehouse in Central Ohio - Shelby Kimball (House District 60) and Whittney Wood (House District 73). Shelby Kimball is a Marine Corps & Army National Guard member veteran, mom of four, and community advocate. She is running for Ohio House District 60 which includes Powell, Orange and Liberty township, and portions of Dublin, Westerville, and Delaware. She believes every child deserves access to a high-quality public education regardless of their zip code; she will fight to protect and expand access to affordable healthcare; and she will stand up for our military veterans and their families to make sure they get the benefits and services they deserve.Whittney Wood is running for Ohio House District 73, which includes parts of Lancaster and Pleasantville, Pickerington, Baltimore, and MIllersport area. She is a mom who has always worked hard to provide for her family. She has always spoken out and stood up for anyone who was being treated unfairly or just having a hard time standing on their own two feet. She figured running for office she could help way more people at the same time. She believes ICE should be disbanded, Trump is a lunatic, and ALL humans are her people, not just the rich white men. She says her policies will be written for all Ohioans, not just the predatory class or ultra wealthy.Resources:* Shelby Kimball for Ohio* Shelby's Social Media:* Instagram* Facebook* Whittney Wood for Ohio* Whittney's Social Media:* Instagram* Facebook* TikTok* BlueskyWe're bringing together digital creators from across the state to build a powerful digital organizing network called Ohio Creators for Progress.

What does it take for a young, progressive Democrat to run for the Ohio Statehouse in a district that leans Republican? This week on the Purple Political Breakdown, Ohio Edition, I sit down with Daquan Neal, the Democratic nominee for Ohio House District 39, covering Northern Montgomery County and the Dayton area: Vandalia, Englewood, Huber Heights, Clayton, Northridge, Fort McKinley, Harrison Township, and Butler Township. Daquan is 30 years old, a Central State University graduate, and a former staffer in both chambers of the Ohio General Assembly. He won his May 2026 Democratic primary and is running under the slogan "Our Time Is Now." We get into his core argument that Ohio is not a red state so much as a non-voting state, with more unaffiliated voters than registered Democrats and Republicans in his district, and what it would take to actually turn those voters out. From there we break down his policy stack: a state public option as a first step toward universal health care, a percentage-based "livable wage" built on the MIT Living Wage Calculator with price-gouging protections attached, a progressive marginal income tax to replace Ohio's new flat tax, and the bill he says he will introduce first, universal free school lunch for K-12. We also talk political messaging, why "progressive" lands differently than "socialist," and how he uses his Forever Curious civics program to close the political knowledge gap. This is a real voter-information conversation about who represents you in Columbus and why the Statehouse may matter more to your daily life than Washington. Political solutions without political bias.

In episode 184, we sit down with Jesse Baker, a progressive challenger who ran a scrappy, grassroots campaign for Ohio State Senate with no establishment support and nearly pulled off an upset - earning 44% of the vote and over 12,000 Ohioans behind him.Jesse is an Ohio native from Findlay and a graduate of The Ohio State University, now living in Columbus's Hilltop neighborhood with his wife Emily and their two cats. Rather than a career in politics, Jesse spent his professional life in business and technology - solving problems and helping organizations operate more effectively.Raised by a single father, Jesse has personally navigated food stamps, years without health insurance, and student loan debt. He didn't just observe these systems — he lived them. That experience drives his belief that the Statehouse has grown disconnected from working Ohioans, and that the Democratic Party has prioritized its own power over boldly fighting for people.Jesse's campaign is centered on fighting for working families, protecting individual rights, and building a more affordable Ohio - led by transparent, courageous leaders willing to put real solutions ahead of partisan games and monied interests.Resources:* Baker for Progress Campaign Website* InstagramWe're bringing together digital creators from across the state to build a powerful digital organizing network called Ohio Creators for Progress.

Today we're full up with hour one starting with a visit from Rep Frank Thomaszewski from Fairbanks. We'll talk about his time in session and his candidacy for the seat held by Robb Myers. Then in hour two we'll visit with MatSu assemblyman Michael Bowles to focus on his race against incumbent Delana Johnson for State House.

The governor has a very good executive staff. But there's no substitute for a present governor. Legislators are generally a needy bunch. They see him on national TV during session and wonder why he isn't attending to them. That's simple Statehouse reality and has been forever.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/shaw-local-s-bears-insider-podcast--3098936/support.

Investigative journalists ⁠⁠Mandy Matney⁠⁠ and ⁠Liz Farrell⁠⁠ were honored to sit down with Dr. Jermaine Johnson — basketball player turned state representative for parts of Kershaw & Richland Counties, now a candidate for governor of South Carolina.  But this conversation isn't really about a campaign or politics. It's about our justice system, and the uncomfortable truth that South Carolina runs two of them: one for the powerful and well-connected, and one for everybody else. Jermaine has lived inside both. He talks candidly about being homeless as a teenager, about being a young father trapped in a family court system with no lawyer and no fair shot, and about the men he watched get jailed for child support they had already paid. Dr. Johnson explains why South Carolina's way of electing judges is broken, why a decades-old mug shot keeps resurfacing, and why courage is in such short supply under the State House dome. It's an honest, hopeful, occasionally infuriating conversation about fixing what's rigged. Explore Dr. Jermaine Johnson's campaign for South Carolina governor
