Podcasts about state kris kobach

This week on CounterSpin: Dropped by her law firm after being exposed as an advisor on the post-2020 election call where Donald Trump told Georgia officials to “find” him some votes, Cleta Mitchell has leaned in on the brand of “election integrity.” Platformed on right-wing talk radio, she's now saying that Democrats are “literally getting people to lie” to exploit laws that allow overseas citizens to vote, so she's bringing lawsuits. Does she have evidence? No. Is evidence the point? Also no. We speak this week with media law attorney and reporter Shawn Musgrave, who serves as counsel to the Intercept, about how Trump's “Big Lie” attorneys are not so much returning to the field, but actually never left. In 2018, elite media had apparently moved beyond the kneejerk reportorial pairing of documentation of voter suppression with hypothetical claims of voter fraud. But they were still doing faux-naive reporting of those fraud claims as something other than themselves a deliberate suppression campaign. Then, the shiny object was Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach trying to change registration laws in the state. We return to our talk with Orion Danjuma, staff attorney with the ACLU's Racial Justice Program.   The post Shawn Musgrave and Orion Danjuma: Vote Fraud Hoax as Voter Suppression appeared first on KPFA.

John visits with former Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach about his recently filed lawsuit regarding the Biden's administration's COVID-19 vaccine mandates.  

The leader of a Texas butterfly preserve vividly remembers the day in July 2017, when she saw five workmen around the levee of her refuge, three of them wielding chainsaws, cutting down trees and mowing down vegetation."It was a shocking moment," recalled Marianna Treviño Wright, the executive director of the now-closed National Butterfly Center in Mission, Texas. "I said, 'Who are you, and what are you doing here? And they said, 'Well, the government sent us to clear this land for a border wall.'"Little did she know at the time, Treviño Wright said, that her fight against the construction of a U.S.-Mexico border wall would plunge her into a years-long battle with prominent figures in MAGA-world, including ex-White House chief strategist Steve Bannon, former Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, and possibly, former President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner. Nor did she know, she says, that her well-publicized court battles against those powerful forces that be would make her the target of QAnon-style conspiracy theories that would shut down her preserve and make her fear for her life.In an extended interview with Law&Crime's podcast "Objections: with Adam Klasfeld," Treviño Wright describes how her 100-acre haven for nature lovers and lepidopterists leapt into national headlines — and became a lightning rod for right-wing conspiracy theories with a history of provoking violence.After years of this campaign, she says, an alarming incident involving a fringe congressional candidate in Virginia shut down her refuge indefinitely weeks ago. Its doors remain closed as of publication.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

President Donald Trump, former Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach and race-baiting think tanks like the Heritage Foundation use the myth of voter fraud to justify laws and tactics that make it more difficult to vote. Research and court records show voter fraud is extraordinarily rare, but Kobach and Trump have influenced public opinion by frequently repeating debunked claims. Scott Moore, of Mission Hills, sued Kobach over his quest to find voter fraud, which led to a privacy breach of personal information for Moore and 944 other Kansas voters. Sean Morales-Doyle, deputy director of the Brennan Center for Justice’s Voting Rights and Elections program, is working to knock down false claims in an unusual election year.

President Donald Trump’s former chief strategist, Steve Bannon, was pulled from a luxury yacht and arrested Thursday on allegations that he and three associates ripped off donors trying to fund a southern border wall, making him the latest in a long list of Trump allies to be charged with a crime.The organisers of the “We Build The Wall” group portrayed themselves as eager to help the president build a “big beautiful” barrier along the U.S.-Mexico border, as he promised during the 2016 campaign. They raised more than $25 million from thousands of donors and pledged that 100% of the money would be used for the project.But according to the criminal charges unsealed Thursday, much of the money never made it to the wall. Instead, it was used to line the pockets of group members, including Bannon, who served in Trump's White House and worked for his campaign. He allegedly took over $1 million, using some to secretly pay co-defendant Brian Kolfage, the founder of the project, and to cover hundreds of thousands of dollars in personal expenses.Hours after his arrest, Bannon pleaded not guilty during an appearance in a Manhattan federal court. He is the latest addition to a startlingly long list of Trump associates who have been prosecuted, including his former campaign chair, Paul Manafort, whom Bannon replaced, his longtime lawyer, Michael Cohen, and his former national security adviser, Michael Flynn.Trump has also made clear that he is willing to use his near-limitless pardon power to help political allies escape legal jeopardy, most recently commuting the sentence of longtime political adviser Roger Stone.Bannon was taken into custody around 7 a.m. by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service on a 150-foot (45-meter) luxury yacht called Lady May, which was off the coast of Connecticut, authorities said. The boat is owned by exiled Chinese billionaire Guo Wengui and currently for sale for nearly $28 million. According to Marine Traffic, a commercial tracking service, the vessel's transponder signal went dark on June 17, shortly after it departed a port in Connecticut en route to Miami, potentially indicating its beacon was inoperable or had been turned off.At his hearing, Bannon appeared by video with his hands cuffed in front of him and a white mask covering most of his face. He rocked back and forth on a chair in a holding cell with his lawyers on the telephone. The magistrate judge approved Bannon’s release on $5 million bail, secured by $1.75 million in assets.Neither Bannon, nor his spokesperson or attorney responded to requests for comment Thursday. Kolfage did not respond either. Also charged were Andrew Badolato and Timothy Shea, the owner of an energy drink company called Winning Energy. The company's cans feature a cartoon superhero image of Trump and claim to contain “12 oz. of liberal tears.” Shea appeared at a brief virtual hearing in Denver.Other prominent members of the wall group included former Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, its general counsel; Erik Prince, founder of the controversial security firm Blackwater; former Republican Rep. Tom Tancredo of Colorado; and former major league baseball pitcher Curtis Schilling. They were not named in the indictment.After the arrest, Trump quickly distanced himself from Bannon and the project.“When I read about it, I didn’t like it. I said this is for government, this isn’t for private people. And it sounded to me like showboating,” he told reporters at the White House, adding that he felt “very badly" about the situation.An immigration plan unveiled by Trump last year included a proposal to allow the public to donate toward his long-promised wall, as the Kolfage group had originally said was its mission before shifting its focus to private construction. But Trump later denounced the project publicly, tweeting last month that he “disagreed with doing this very small (tiny) section of wall, in a tricky area, by a private group which raised money by ads” and...

On today's episode of Loud & Clear, Brian Becker and John Kiriakou are joined by Rania Khalek, a journalist and political activist whose work has appeared in The Nation, The Intercept, Aljazeera, Salon, VICE, and elsewhere.Lebanon’s capital, Beirut, experienced a massive explosion yesterday that killed at least 100 people and wounded more than 4,000. The government said that a warehouse containing ammonium nitrate, the same compound that was used in the Oklahoma City bombing, was ignited after a neighboring warehouse containing fireworks or some similar explosives, caught fire. Many countries around the world have offered assistance, but aid will not help with the broken political system and dysfunctional government that allowed the accident to happen. Races in Missouri and Kansas saw upsets yesterday for both parties, as Rep. Lacy Clay, who replaced his father in a congressional seat in St. Louis, was ousted by progressive activist Cori Bush. Missouri voters also approved a referendum that would implement that toughest anti-abortion rules in the country. In Kansas, former Secretary of State Kris Kobach was defeated in the Republican primary for US Senate, virtually ensuring that the Republicans will retain the seat. Meanwhile, the Trump Administration sued the state of Nevada yesterday over the issue of voting by mail. Ted Rall, an award-winning columnist and political cartoonist whose work is at www.rall.com, joins the show. The Council on Hemispheric Affairs, of COHA, yesterday published a report saying that a recently leaked document from USAID, the Agency for International Development, provides a glimpse into the breadth and depth of the US government’s policy and plan to interfere in Nicaragua’s internal affairs up to and after its presidential election next year. The Trump Administration’s policy in Nicaragua has been a simple one: to overthrow the government of President Daniel Ortega. Brian and John speak with Jill Clark-Gollub, assistant editor and translator at the Council on Hemispheric Affairs. There is no national testing plan for the coronavirus and no plans to implement one. As a result, seven states recently banded together to create their own. Maryland’s Republican Governor Larry Hogan negotiated the deal, which includes two other Republicans and four Democrats, when the White House refused to recommend national standards to combat the disease. They’ve already negotiated a deal with a testing company that can conduct a Covid test and provide results in 30 minutes.

Welcome to Majority.FM's AM QUICKIE! Brought to you by justcoffee.coop TODAY'S HEADLINES: A massive explosion in Beirut, Lebanon’s port area has killed over 70 people and injured hundreds more in the city, which was buffeted by the blast’s enormous shockwave. The cause of the explosion is still unclear. Meanwhile, some key primary races are heating up, as mail-in ballots continue to be counted in elections in Michigan, Kansas and several other states. But so far, it looks like Rep. Rashida Tlaib has fended off her primary opponent from 2018, back for round two. And lastly, 13 college football players in one of the most competitive leagues in the country are threatening to sit out the upcoming season unless their schools change inadequate coronavirus policies, taking a bold stand against the powers pushing for unpaid athletes to put on a fall season without the right support. THESE ARE THE STORIES YOU NEED TO KNOW: An enormous explosion rocked the city of Beirut, Lebanon on Tuesday evening, killing at least 78 people and injuring hundreds more. The explosion followed a raging fire and smaller blast in the city’s port area, where Lebanese officials said explosive materials had been stored. It’s unclear what the disaster’s initial cause was. The blast was enormous and its shockwave shattered windows and cracked walls miles away from the epicenter. The area around the port was ravaged, including several hospitals which were so damaged they had to send their existing patients to other centers already overwhelmed by victims of the blast. The Lebanese government said that a large cache of ammonium nitrate, a chemical compound used to make both fertilizer and explosives, had been stored in the area for years after it was captured. The New York Times reported that an accidental detonation of a large quantity of ammonium nitrate was behind a similar explosion in Texas City, Texas in 1947 that killed 581 people. President Trump told reporters that his military leaders quote “seemed to think it was an attack” endquote, despite the fact that Lebanese officials had not confirmed or speculated that the blast was deliberate. Primaries for Tlaib, Kansas, and More Amidst all this, the U.S. still held primary elections on Tuesday, although with mail-in voting we may not know the results for a few days. Some races are pivotal on a national scale. In Michigan, Rep. Rashida Tlaib faced another primary against her 2018 opponent, Detroit City Council President Brenda Jones. Tlaib beat Jones by around 900 votes that year, but this year had the weight of the Democratic establishment on her side, despite her outspoken stances as part of the House’s young progressive caucus, and has a pretty commanding lead as votes continue to be counted. In Missouri, meanwhile, Justice Democrats-backed activist Cori Bush appears to have pulled off a massive upset against 20-year incumbent Rep. William Lacy Clay. Clay had the party establishment’s full backing, however, but has been sitting making little waves on a safe House seat that he effectively inherited when his father retired. Bush lost in 2018 by 20 points, but fought to a huge victory, winning by just over 4,600 votes late on Tuesday night. Some of the Republican primaries are interesting as well. In Kansas, for instance, former Secretary of State Kris Kobach tried to out-Trump his rivals in a contentious Senate primary. Mainstream Republicans were terrified of him winning, because he was a reviled figure that he might put what’s usually a pretty safe seat in danger of going blue in the general. It looks like he’ll fall short of that bid though, as fellow Trump-supporter Peter Meijer is way ahead. Again, mail in voting means there may not be quick or easy calls to elections like we’re used to. Trump has been railing against the practice for weeks, but abruptly changed his tune when he saw that he was in danger of losing Florida, telling voters to request mail-in ballots and insisting that it was safe in that state. If his lies about election security are fooling anyone, it’s pretty much their own fault at this point. College Football Players Stage Protest Across the country, resistance to Republican leaders and greedy college executives alike is coming from an unlikely group: Division 1 football players. 13 players from the PAC-12 conference, one of the largest football leagues in the NCAA, announced on Tuesday that they would opt out of the coming season and refuse to play until their schools had addressed systemic failings in their coronavirus response. The PAC-12 protest is the latest in a series of developments where organized athletes are punching above their weight to put pressure on their schools and local governments. In Mississippi, governor Tate Reeves announced that he would enact a statewide mask mandate, saying quote: “I want to see college football. The best way for that to occur is for us all to realize is that wearing a mask, as irritating as that can be & I promise I hate it more than anyone watching, is critical.” endquote. College football! The one power that can actually make Conservatives hellbent on sabotaging themselves see sense. And remember it’s not just state governments that these players are up against. The Pac-12 protest is more about forcing schools to actually take care of their athletes’ safety, especially considering, you know, they aren’t paid at all for their incredibly valuable labor. The season itself is completely up in the air, as schools face losing out on one of their biggest revenue drivers if the epidemic doesn’t get under control in their states. Jaydon Grant, a senior defensive back at Oregon State, did not mince words. Quote: “The people who are deciding whether we are going to play football are going to prioritize money over health and safety 10 times out of 10.” Endquote. Here’s hoping that more players start to speak up and actual hold their schools -- and governments -- accountable. In an ideal world, they wouldn’t have to, but that’s where we’re at. AND NOW FOR SOME QUICKER QUICKIES: New York City’s health commissioner resigned on Tuesday after a very public clash with hapless mayor Bill de Blasio, citing her quote “deep disappointment” with the mayor’s handling of the virus. Dr. Oxiris Barbot [ox-sear-riss bar-bow] said that De Blasio had not used the city’s quote “incomparable disease control expertise” endquote well enough during the pandemic, which killed more than 20,000 residents. In a wild, bizarre, and shocking sideshow of an interview with Axios’s Jonathan Swan, President Trump floundered hopelessly when confronted by facts on coronavirus, beefed with the late John Lewis who quote “didn’t attend my inauguration.” His best moment came when he sputtered quote “you can’t do that” when Swan directly refuted his bogus coronavirus claims. As schools reopen across the country, teachers have had enough. Small but widespread protests took place across the country as teachers used the hashtag #DemandSafeSchools to protest against in-person teaching. The coming school year spells almost certain suffering for students and teachers alike as the disease continues to ravage most of the country’s states. And finally, the Republicans appear to be weakening in negotiations on the next coronavirus relief package, as Mitch McConnell said he might be willing to accept an extension of the vital $600 per week unemployment insurance benefits if Democrats would compromise in other areas. It remains to be seen what the final bill will look like, but Congress is running out of time. That’s all for the AM Quickie today. Stay tuned for the full show this afternoon.

This was a week of widespread and outrageous corruption in the Trump orbit — from Congressman Chris Collins and insider trading, to Secretary Wilbur Ross and grifting, to Secretary of State Kris Kobach miscounting votes, to the “Mar-a-Lago Crowd” controlling the Department of Veterans Affairs, and more. The phrase “drain the swamp” has disappeared from Trump's vernacular, as he and his apostles appear to be squarely inside the swamp. As Paul Manafort's trial sped along, several associates of Roger Stone were subpoenaed, suggesting he is a point of focus in the Mueller probe. Trump and his surrogates continued to ramp up attacks on the Mueller probe, and related areas like the FBI — and several plan to focus on a new shiny coin: Bruce Ohr. Read the full list here: c

In 2014 Kansas passed a law protecting its citizens from federal prosecution on a variety of 2nd Amendment issues. Put simply; Kansas adopted a law that nullified a host of federal laws and made enforcement of those laws by federal agents a class 10 felony. Attorney General Holder immediately sent a letter to Governer Brownback informing him that the new law was a violation of the Constitution and the State of Kanas was subject to federal law. Secretary of State Kris Kobach sent a letter back to Holder saying, in not so few words, "Whatever." Now two Kansans have been arrested by the Feds and are being charged with felonies for violating federal gun control laws. The very laws Kansas aimed to nullify. And what is the response from the local Sheriff, Govoner and Attorney General? Crickets. They have left these two men out to dry. It's a disgusting dereliction of duty, and I brought on one of the top Constitutional minds to discuss it with me today. If you're as angry as I am, take a couple of minutes and call those involved.
