Gas, food and all forms of soaring costs on the minds of voters, maintaining freedom and supporting agriculture with State Rep. Chad Johnson

Wisconsin state Assembly Rep. Tara Johnson in studio breaking down the controversy over the 200-foot MariBell power lines and what a Democratic legislative majority would look like in Madison. Johnson (D-Shelby) helps explain the environmental risks in the Driftless region over those power lines, how the state’s Public Service Commission works in deciding what happens, and where this all wraps into the AI data center conversation — one in which she believes an 18-month moratorium is needed. We also discuss the top priorities that Democrats are outlining if David Crowley wins the governorship and her party flips both the Assembly and Senate. Johnson pointed out that under current Republican control, only 19 of the 500 bills Democrats authored in the last session even got a committee hearing, and what her party’s priorities are if they win the trifecta. Episode Highlights: MariBell Lines Backlash: Proposed towers threaten legacy farms and fragile karst aquifers across the Driftless region. Data Center Pause: Johnson advocates for an 18-month moratorium and a long-term plan around energy usage while studying the local impacts of massive data centers. Underground Priority: Johnson details legislation to force power companies onto existing rights-of-way and mandate underground lines over giant towers. How the PSC Works: A quick civics lesson on how the Public Service Commission operates and how local residents can actually influence their final rulings. Intervener Funding Stripped: GOP budget cuts on the Joint Finance Committee eliminated extra legal and expert assistance meant to help everyday property owners fight utility applications. Predatory Park Hikes: Mobile home residents face sudden double-digit lot fee increases and steep pet surcharges with no practical way to move their homes. Democratic Trifecta Hit List: What a unified Democratic government in Madison would prioritize on day one — and the massive legislative roadblock currently standing in their way. Brewers Magic but Not "The Big Mozzarella": We open with Milwaukee's historic 103-win season and a failed attempt at coining a pitching nickname for Jacob Misiorowski.

Welcome back to the Carolina Cabinet, Cumberland County's smartest hour of talk radio. Host Peter Pappas sits down with State Rep. Diane Wheatley, who has represented NC House District 43 since 2021. Wheatley talks about growing up in a military family — born at Fort Campbell, the daughter of an Army paratrooper — and the path that led her from the Cumberland County Board of Education to Raleigh. Peter presses her on bringing state tax dollars home, the 8% average teacher raise in the new state budget, whether school vouchers take money from public schools, and whether anyone is coordinating the school board, the county commissioners, and the local delegation. A registered nurse, Wheatley explains why her biomarker-testing bill passed the House and never got a Senate hearing, defends the delegation's role in 911 consolidation, and makes her case for another term — hospital growth, rural health care, and staying accessible to constituents. Wheatley faces Democrat Janene Ackles in November.

Welcome to the Carolina Cabinet, Cumberland County's smartest hour of talk radio. Host Peter Pappas and co-host Laura Mussler are joined by Miles McKeller-Smith, Director of Public Relations for the Arts Council of Fayetteville|Cumberland County, and Tanner Port of the VFW Department of North Carolina. Miles previews the 48th annual International Folk Festival — opening on a Friday for the first time, with El Centro Hispano performances on Hay Street Friday night, the Parade of Nations Saturday at 10 a.m., and a free afternoon in Festival Park. Then the news: Cumberland County closes the Crown Arena and Crown Theatre after shelving the downtown event center, and Peter asks why the citizens' board that runs them wasn't consulted. A state appeals court rules on who controls North Carolina's elections board, Fayetteville credits its youth curfew for a drop in violent crime, Regional Acceptance cuts 253 jobs in Pitt County, and a new poll shows where the state Supreme Court race stands. In the closing block, Tanner Port explains the bipartisan push to give the state 20 acres of Fort Bragg for a new home for 85 displaced veterans — now waiting on the U.S. Senate — and why a federal judge's ruling against Veterans Guardian matters to every veteran filing a VA claim. His advice: start with your county Veteran Service Officer or VA.gov. It's free. Stick around for our interview with State Rep. Diane Wheatley, released as its own episode.

(The Center Square) – New legislation has been filed to repeal an Illinois tax on sports wagering and fantasy contests. State Rep. Travis Weaver, R-Peoria, filed House Bill 5814 on Monday to repeal the tax that Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed into law last June. Weaver said the tax may be challenged in court. “Anytime a tax is tried for the first time ever, you've got to wonder why the other 49 states aren't doing it. It probably has to do with the fact that they think that it's illegal,” Weaver told The Center Square. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Texas Democrats find themselves in their strongest election position in decades as the Texas GOP collapses under the weight of scandals, high-profile defections and its own bad policy choices. Texas Democrats have largely performed without major missteps - except, of course, that strange award given to musician and notorious abuser Chris Brown, who has punched back at State Rep. Venton Jones for apologizing - while Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett remains silent on the matter.Twitter: https://x.com/JohnCornyn/status/2100366727624434004?s=20Texas Tribune: https://www.texastribune.org/2026/09/17/democrats-texas-james-talarico-november-midterms/USA Today: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/state/texas/2026/09/15/which-republican-leaders-are-backing-talarico-over-ken-paxton/91695266007/Houston Chronicle: https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/trending/article/chris-brown-dallas-22435291.phpJoin Progress Texas and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BallotReady⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for another LIVE podcast recording session with Asian Texans For Justice during this year's TribFest in Austin!

The intersection of celebrity culture and high-stakes politics has sparked a massive firestorm in Texas. In this episode, we break down the fierce public controversy surrounding the Jasmine Crockett Chris Brown honor at an Arlington concert, which drew intense nationwide criticism, an apology from a fellow state representative, and a sharp reaction from the R&B singer himself. U.S. Representative Jasmine Crockett and Texas State Representative Venton Jones took the stage at AT&T Stadium to present Chris Brown with official legislative recognitions, entering his name into the Congressional Record to celebrate his musical impact. However, the gesture immediately triggered heavy backlash from activists, strategists, and fans who pointed to Brown's history of domestic violence and legal troubles. As the political fallout escalated—leading to a public apology from Rep. Jones and a blunt response from Brown telling critics to "keep that award"—we analyze the motives, the missteps, and the media storm surrounding the event. In this episode, you will learn:The exact details of how the Jasmine Crockett Chris Brown honor came together during a Texas concert stop. Why political strategists and public figures heavily criticized the congressional recognition. State Rep. Venton Jones' public apology and the strategy behind voter outreach efforts at entertainment events. Chris Brown's unfiltered response to the backlash and the ongoing debate over separating art from personal history.Who this episode is for:This deep dive is essential for political junkies, pop culture analysts, and listeners who want a nuanced, objective look at how entertainment and modern political strategy collide.Stay ahead of the news cycle.

Mike Madrid on why both parties are running on empty, and what's actually filling the vacuum.Mike Madrid, author of The Latino Century and co-founder of the Lincoln Project, joins Corey to argue that neither party is being reshaped so much as replaced. The conversation moves from a 13,000-person Texas town that could decide the midterms to what it costs a person to spend a career in gladiator politics, and why Madrid traded that fight for painting, pilgrimages, and personal writing.Calls to Action✅ Leave a rating and review: lovethepodcast.com/politicsandreligion✅ Subscribe on Substack: coreysnathan.substack.com✅ Watch and subscribe on YouTube: youtube.com/@politicsandreligion✅ Share this episode with someone who still thinks red versus blue explains anythingKey takeawaysMadrid argues both parties are "zombie parties," hollow shells running on inertia while voters increasingly organize around issues instead of labels.Beeville, Texas, a 70% Hispanic town that went 70% for Trump, is why Madrid calls it the most important town in America for the midterms.State Rep.

Geanie Morrison reflects on an older political culture where bipartisan relationships and compromise were more common.Together, the filmmakers describe them as an outlier, an outsider, and an old guard.We talk about abortion, faith, MAGA, women as the Republican Party's political organizers, partisan purity tests, political identity, and what disappears when disagreement becomes disloyalty. Meg and Scott also explain what they learned as liberal filmmakers spending a year listening to conservative women and why relationships across political differences still matter.Watch the film: https://universecreative.org/the-life-of-the-party/GUEST BIOMeg Griffiths and Scott Faris are documentary filmmakers, producers, and co-founders of Universe Creative.

Jen Psaki shares video of Donald Trump weirdly claiming to members of the media that many Republicans did not attend his midterm Republican convention in Texas because there is no enough room for them, even though the event is being held in a massive arena that video shows to have plenty of empty seats.Jen Psaki looks at Republican candidates trying to distance themselves from Donald Trump so his deep unpopularity will do the least amount of damage to their campaigns, even as Trump insists that associating with him and making himself the central focus of the midterm elections is the best strategy for the Republican Party.Mitch Landrieu, former senior advisor to President Joe Biden, and Jim Messina, former campaign manager for Barack Obama, discuss how Republicans are struggling to distance themselves from Trump to avoid being punished by voters because of his unpopularity.State Rep.

Georgia Democrats say taxpayers have been left out of the property-tax conversation. Scot wants to know why those same Democrats voted against giving local taxpayers a chance to decide the issue themselves, and why the AJC failed to make that contradiction a central part of its coverage. Scot Turner and Buzz Brockway also break down Keisha Lance Bottoms' push for more debates with Rick Jackson, her proposal to remove local sales taxes from groceries, and the complications created by voter-approved SPLOSTs, E-SPLOSTs and existing bond obligations. The episode also examines the Catoosa County Schools financial audit and State Rep. Mitchell Horner's effort to address shrinking reserves before they become a crisis. Then it's on to Georgia's growing data-center fight. A lawsuit involving Meta's Newton County facility raises concerns about groundwater, noise and development, while Raphael Warnock and other Democrats call for a moratorium on new data centers. Scot and Buzz argue over the risks, economic benefits and whether local regulation offers a better answer. Plus, DHS launches election-fraud investigations, Georgia's voter rolls face a new audit, Chris Carr jumps into the LSU-SEC eligibility fight, and Peach Pundit mourns the unforgettable Hee Haw. It's Georgia politics, policy, media and a little college football with Scot Turner and Buzz Brockway on Peach Pundit the Podcast.

Ralph speaks with Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, former Chief of Staff for Colin Powell, about the fall of the American Empire and self-proclaimed Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth. Then we welcome the CEO and co-founder of the Canadian-based organization Corporate Knights, Toby Heap, to break down Trump's unprecedented trade war with our closest ally. Plus, Ralph has some choice words for Hakeem Jeffries and his meeting with Jared Kushner and for Hillary Clinton and her take on the war with Iran.Lawrence Wilkerson is a retired U.S. Army colonel. Over his 31 years of service, Colonel Wilkerson served as Secretary of State Colin Powell's Chief of Staff from 2002 to 2005, and Special Assistant to General Powell when he was Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 1989 to 1993. Colonel Wilkerson also served as Deputy Director and Director of the U.S. Marine Corps War College at Quantico, Virginia, and for fifteen years he was the Distinguished Visiting Professor of Government and Public Policy at the College of William and Mary. He is currently a Senior Fellow at the Eisenhower Media Network, senior advisor to the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, and co-founder of the All-Volunteer Force Forum.Two-thirds of the world now thinks that we are an enemy of their state.

And it happens to be the two-third that has the greatest amount of the GDP in the world.Colonel Lawrence WilkersonI've lived for 81 years, almost 82, and I've watched my country go to hell right in front of my face… And the billionaires who want all of this to happen, they do not want a democracy. A democracy is fallible. A democracy can't beat China. A democracy can't beat Russia. A democracy can't even beat Iran. They want a technocracy that is run by them, armed by them, technical revolution by them. They want all of this, and oh by the way they want to live to 150 while they're doing it too.Colonel Lawrence WilkersonEvery freaking hour they create a series of war crimes in Iran. Every freaking hour they perpetrate war crimes in the Persian Gulf. Every freaking hour they perpetrate war crimes in Lebanon with Israel. “What's new?,” I want to say. We are a criminal state.

He spearheaded the first global ranking of the world's 100 most sustainable corporations in 2005, and in 2007 coined the term “clean capitalism.”What we're seeing is a sort of political physics—for every action is an equal and opposite reaction. Canada has in many ways benefited and rallied around our nationhood. We're often not the most boisterous or loudest type of folks. But this continued disrespect for our statehood and the continued attacks and the unreasonableness and the unfair play, our prime minister said something to the effect of: when the United States signs something, it's in pencil. It's really denigrating the United States' reputation globally and in Canadians' minds.Toby HeapsNews 8/28/26* This week, the left-wing insurgency in the Democratic Party scored several new victories. First, NBC reports that in Oklahoma, N'Kiyla Jasmine Thomas won the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate seat vacated by Markwayne Mullin, who Trump selected to lead the Department of Homeland Security following the resignation of Secretary Kristi Noem. Thomas will go up against Republican Congressman Kevin Hern in November. Unfortunately, Thomas stands little chance of winning the state, which has not elected a Democratic Senator since 1990. Thomas is a member of the Chickasaw Nation and identifies as a Democratic Socialist, but is “not yet” a member of DSA.* Next, in California, Democracy Now! reports progressive state lawmaker Aisha Wahab has prevailed in the special election to fill the seat vacated by disgraced former Congressman Eric Swalwell. This piece notes that Wahab “overcame a flood of attack ads from pro-Israel groups,” which sought to bolster her Democratic primary rival, Melissa Hernandez. In an interview, Wahab said that she “appreciates” voters in her district for “seeing through” the “lies that were spread by AIPAC.” Wahab will make history as the first Afghan American in Congress and has called for the United States to engage with the Taliban government and attempt to “[steer] them in the right direction” on human rights.* In Georgia, the Hill reports another progressive – Everton Blair – won the special election to fill the seat of Congressman David Scott, who passed away in April during his 12th term in the seat. Blair, the former chair of the Gwinnett County School Board, defeated Scott's daughter Marcye Scott. However, Blair will only represent this seat until the end of the year. Beginning in January, State Rep. Jasmine Clark, who won the May primary, will fill the seat for the 120th Congress.* Meanwhile, in the Cornhusker State, the Nebraska Examiner reports that the “Legal Marijuana NOW U.S. Senate candidate Mike Marvin announced he can't put more ‘energy' into the Senate race because of health issues and endorsed nonpartisan U.S. Senate candidate Dan Osborn.” Marvin will remain on the ballot, but is “urging all who supported [him] to now support…Osborn.” This piece notes that this announcement comes on heels of reporting by Flatwater Free Press showing that two staffers from Osborn's 2024 independent Senate campaign joined the Legal Marijuana NOW executive board and sought to dissolve the party from the inside. This, combined with the fact that former Democratic Senate nominee Cindy Burbank paid Mike Marvin's $1,740 candidate filing fee and dropped out of the race one day after the secretary of state verified Osborn's signatures to be on the fall ballot has fueled speculation that these were coordinated efforts to clear the field for Osborn. Marvin for his part disputes this and says he never planned to leave the race. Osborn is quoted saying “We hope to earn the support of the LMN voters and hope that we can represent their concerns well in the US Senate.”* In more third party news, Trump has launched new broadsides against the emerging ex-MAGA clique – consisting of Tucker Carlson, Congressman Thomas Massie, and former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene. According to the Hill, Trump attacked the group, said to be exploring the possibility of founding a new right-wing party, calling Carlson “a loser,” Greene “a highly neurotic woman” and Massie a “real JERK” on Truth Social. The president added, “What a team this would be, THREE LOSERS, and a pocketful of change!...The only chance they have is to join the Radical Left Dumocrats, and try breaking into the Primary System. To all of them I say, PRAISE BE TO ALLAH!” The proximate cause of this latest flare-up between the camps is Trump's decision to allow in 300,000 metric tons of ground beef to be imported in the next 90 days, a move Massie called “worse than socialism.” Greene, who has been perhaps the most vocal defector from the MAGA camp, said “He attacks us with such vitriol because we actually are everything he claimed to be…he has proven as President that he is nothing more than a neocon puppet for Israel, corporations, big donors with special interests, and his dear friends in the Epstein class…We never changed, Trump did.”* Another story from this side of the aisle comes to us from NOTUS, which reports that an “unknown actor” has stolen over $16,000 from the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC). This incident, alternatively characterized as a “theft” from a “foreign country” or simply a “fraud,” occurred in early July, when the NRCC “attempted to pay a bill from Ranger Wi-Fi Consulting, a Texas-based firm that specializes in helping clients ‘optimize their wireless networks while ensuring healthy security measures are in place.'” Seeking to assuage the fears of donors, NRCC spokesman Will Kiley told the press that “Protecting donor funds is a top priority for the NRCC,” and vowed that the committee is “working to recover the funds, and…taken steps to ensure it can't happen again.” Listeners might remember that in July, the DNC admitted that they had fallen prey to a scammer, losing almost $30,000 in the process. It would seem that these committees do not have functional safeguards against such schemes.* Our final stories this week all deal with the Middle East. First up, Axios reports that while AIPAC was gearing up for a major ad blitz in Michigan against Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed and on behalf of Republican Senate nominee Mike Rogers, those plans have apparently been iced at the behest of the Rogers campaign. According to this story, Rogers believes that AIPAC spending in the Democratic primary – over $30 million on behalf of El-Syed's rival Haley Stevens – actually helped boost El-Sayed's candidacy, making his opposition to AIPAC a “centerpiece of his…campaign, using the group's spending against him to portray Democratic opponent Haley Stevens as beholden to the pro-Israel lobby.” Rogers fears the same fate, so he has sought to keep his distance from AIPAC while his allies are urging AIPAC to “get involved without putting the group's name front and center.” However, Rogers' attempts to put some daylight between his campaign and AIPAC has resulted in the latter turning cold towards the Republican candidate. Republicans now worry that AIPAC will “sit out the general election entirely.” As for the perception of AIPAC in Michigan, a recent poll found that “55% of Michigan voters oppose continued U.S. aid to Israel.”* On the other end of the Michigan political spectrum, Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib has sent a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio demanding that he “ensure the immediateand permanent release of U.S. citizen Sama Safi, a 20-year-old university student with a severe complex chronic health condition, who the Israeli military has arbitrarily and wrongfully detained since June 2nd.” This letter goes on to describe how “armed Israeli soldiers raided her family's home in the occupied West Bank in the middle of the night and tore her from her family,” and that since then, she has “suffered under appalling conditions in Israeli military detention including “frequent physical assault, shackling, and the throwing of gas and stun grenades into already overcrowded and poorly ventilated cells,” among other horrors. 40 more members of Congress signed this letter, including six senators, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Ed Markey and Chris Van Hollen among them. 85 civic groups also signed onto this demand, ranging from faith-based groups to human rights organizations and beyond.* In the region itself, a broad coalition of Muslim states – including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan, Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt and, perhaps most notably, the United Arab Emirates – have issued a categorical condemnation of Israel's new “E1” settlement plan. This plan relates to new settlement activities east of occupied East Jerusalem and the signatories decry the plan as constituting “a dangerous escalation that further advances settlement expansion and annexation and undermines the geographical contiguity of the Occupied Palestinian Territory…thereby threatening the viability and realization of an independent, contiguous Palestinian State based on the 1967 lines with East Jerusalem as its capital.” The UAE was the most significant state in the region to sign onto the Trump-brokered Abraham Accords in 2020, which sought to normalize relations between Israel and its neighbors at the expense of the Palestinians. Saudi Arabia was said to be on the verge of signing the accords prior to October 7th and Israel's subsequent genocidal military campaign in Gaza. The UAE taking a new stand against Israel on behalf of the Palestinian cause is widely seen as the final death knell of the Abraham Accords and the beginning of a new era of relations in the Middle East.* Finally, the Economist reports that a group of seven top officials within the elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is consolidating power in Iran. The man rumored to be leading this junta is Mohsen Rezaei, the new national-security adviser, former presidential candidate and the longest-serving chief of the IRGC, having led the corps though the Iran-Iraq War of the 1980s. Others include the head of the navy, currently overseeing Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, as well as the IRGC's commander-in-chief and founder of the Quds Force. Notably absent from this group is Mojtaba Khamenei, the new Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic. This piece judiciously avoids making any definite predictions about whether this new clique will rule as hardliners or pragmatists, but emphasizes that the late Ali Khamenei expertly “balanced the competing interests of his realm” while these military men favor action.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.
