***This segment is part of a special this week on the crisis of missing and murdered Black women and girls*** Legislation is moving through the California legislature to create an “Ebony Alert”.

We're joined by Aisha Wahab, the California state senator representing the 10th District, which runs from Hayward and Union City south to Sunnyvale and Santa Clara. She is one of the three State Senators who has sponsored Senate Bill 673 to create an emergency alert system – referred to as an “Ebony Alert,” with respect to Black youth, including young women and girls, who are reported missing under unexplained or suspicious circumstances. —- Subscribe to this podcast: https://plinkhq.com/i/1637968343?to=page Get in touch: lawanddisorder@kpfa.org Follow us on socials @LawAndDis: https://twitter.com/LawAndDis; https://www.instagram.com/lawanddis/ The post ‘Ebony Alert' Bill Aims for Defense of Missing Black Women & Girls w/ State Sen Aisha Wahab appeared first on KPFA.

Full Hour | In today's second hour, Dom leads off the Dom Giordano Program by telling about a shark attack on a 15-year-old girl in Stone Harbor, NJ, who had her foot bitten while surfing. Dom ties this to the construction of offshore windmills, asking whether sharks are moving closer to the shoreline due to the work being done, which has killed whales and dolphins all up and down the Jersey Shore. Then, Dom reads back an editorial that suggests voters should not view Dianne Feinstein's cognitive shortfalls similarly to Fetterman's, justifying why issues Fetterman is suffering through pales in comparison to Feinstein, which Dom takes issue with. Then, Dom reads back a new column written by Will Bunch in the Inquirer claiming that the Republican push on the debt ceiling is based in nihilism, responding with an explanation why he believes the opposite to be true. Then, Dom welcomes in State Representative Russ Diamond back onto the Dom Giordano Program after the Republican publicly asked Doug Mastriano to not run for United States Senate after the State Senator teased an announcement next week. Diamond, who has been a longtime ally of Mastriano's in Harrisburg, put out a tweet publicly asking the Senator to stand down because of the negative implications his gubernatorial run had on other elections statewide. Diamond explains his point, telling that particularly stances on issues colored other races throughout the State, with Giordano making note of how Republicans need to move forward, particularly with the issue of abortion, to win a Senate seat in the State of Pennsylvania. (Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)

It is our honor to welcome back Governor Mike Dunleavy of Alaska for today's session. We hosted the Governor on COBT in July of 2022 and had much to cover since our last visit. Gov. Dunleavy moved to Alaska in 1983 and quickly became a proud local serving as a teacher, principal, and superintendent in Arctic communities before his 5-year term as a State Senator from 2013 – 2018. He was elected Governor in 2018 and was re-elected last November. We were thrilled to visit with the Governor to discuss energy in Alaska and preview the Alaska Sustainable Energy Conference taking place next week in Anchorage with an exciting lineup of speakers and topics.   We begin the discussion with an update from Gov. Dunleavy on the current energy outlook in Alaska and the state's unique conditions that allow for a plethora of energy types including oil, gas, biomass, nuclear, coal, geothermal, on and offshore wind, tidal, and solar. Gov. Dunleavy shares his perspective on the Willow project and the state's support for energy production, including LNG and Alaska's relationships with Asia. We then discuss the Sustainable Energy Conference and some of the keynote speakers including Dr. Dan Yergin, Vice Chairman of S&P Global, Rahm Emanuel, United States Ambassador to Japan, and David Turk, Deputy Secretary, U.S. Department of Energy to name a few. The conference will examine the future of energy in Alaska and around the world, the intersection of geopolitical upheaval with food and energy security, advancements in renewable power, transmission, storage, and more. We also touch on geopolitics and security, minerals and mining, Alaska's nuclear adoption, labor markets, the opportunities in Alaska, and the all-in approach the state is taking. We ended with Gov. Dunleavy's thoughts for what the world looks like in 2024 with the next US Presidential election. It was wonderful to visit with the Governor and hear the progress Alaska has made over the past ten months.   Mike Bradley kicked us off and highlighted that over the last couple of weeks, bond, commodity, and equity markets have been directionless due to the U.S. debt ceiling showdown. He further indicated that a favorable debt ceiling resolution could result in some outsized gains but should prove transitory. He also pointed out talks this week for a potential U.S. SPR crude oil purchase in August (3 million sour barrels) which is peanuts compared to the 270 million barrels that have been sold from the SPR over the last two years. Mike also highlighted the recent natural gas rally and the potential for additional Haynesville rig drops by end of summer. He concluded the conversation by highlighting ongoing midstream consolidation activity. Jeff Tillery added to Mike's midstream comments with an observation on diversifying assets in North America as they mature. Brett Rampal also joined and peppered in his nuclear perspective in the discussion.   We want to thank the Governor for his time. If every Governor knew energy as well as Governor Dunleavy, the country would be a better place. We hope you enjoy the discussion as much as we did and consider attending the Alaska Sustainable Energy Conference!

State Senator, Amanda Chase, joins The Jeff Katz show today to talk about absentee/ early voting, voting integrity and calls out the actions of a competitor's campaign.  .  

In this episode , we look back at the high drama of winning a historic primary and unseating a political giant, only to lose in the general election. Then coming back two years later to finally win a seat in the United States House of Representatives. It was a rollercoaster of a ride with enormously consequential side stories that had far reaching importance. For the 1972 race for the 6th District Congressional Seat would open the door for the City of Washington D.C. to finally have some semblance of self governing. For years, John McMillan who chaired the committee that governed the District had prevented any form of self rule , save the schoolboard, from getting out of his committee.  African Americans had decided that the only way to achieve this goal was to unseat McMillan, and they would organize to try it twice, in 1970 when they lost and again in 1972. This time they had a strong candidate and they knew it. John Jenrette was young, talented, and had been a friend to the African American Community for years. We will listen as John Jenrette tells the story of how he got in the race, and why he decided to stay in the race even when he had only a 3% name identification in the district. He would get help from Muhammad Ali, the World Heavyweight Boxing Champion. He would get help from his cousin the State Senator, James Stevens, and the race would be razor thin but John Jenrette would win. Then he would face State Representative Ed Young, a Republican, who would get help from John McMillan and many other disgruntled Democrats. He would also have another ace up his sleave, one of the greatest leaders in American History, Richard Nixon. It would prove to be a mountain to high for John Jenrette to climb and Ed Young would get elected to Congress. But two years later all of that would change.  NOTE: This show features my proudest researching find, the meeting between President Richard Nixon, 6th District Republican nominee Ed Young , and Nixon aid Harry Dent from South Carolina, from the Nixon taping system.  The Realists UncensoredHey future listeners, it's Checkers and MJ here and we are two American men that are...Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify AgriFutures On AirThe official podcast channel for AgriFutures Australia.

Hometown Radio 05/11/23 5p: Guest host Michael Erin Woody talks with Former State Senator Sam Blakeslee about the debt ceiling 2024 and the latest in national politics

In this episode , we look back at John Jenrette's fateful decision to run for the South Carolina State House. He was living in North Myrtle Beach and struggling as a Lawyer. In that day lawyers could not advertise and John Jenrette was trying to figure out a way to get his name out to the public. He was, he said, tired of getting paid in collard greens. It was a decision that would change his life forever. He won. That lifted him to position of Chairman of the Horry County State House delegation. He was 28 years old and the system of that day was entirely different than what we have in the state today. There were no County Councils and the state senators ran the county. In that respect, John Jenrette was sitting in a really good position, he was young, energetic, and the cousin of the sitting State Senator in Horry County, James Stevens. It was a relationship that would pay dividends. In this episode, we will hear about how under Jenrette's leadership, along with Senator James Stevens, they went to work to build roads, bridges, and develop a fledgling school, then known as Coastal Carolina Community College. It was quite the ride for a young man in a hurry.  It was this extraordinary run in the State Legislature that would be the foundation for his later runs for Congress against an entrenched , powerful incumbent. Then we learn about the distant family tie between John Jenrette, a man of  French Huguenot descent, and the leader of  another nation on the North American Continent , Pierre Trudeau , the Prime Minister of Canada.  Jenrette enjoys talking about his family and their long history in America and the Carolinas. We will also be introduced to one of John Jenrette's closest friends and a legendary political ally whose career was as large as any in modern South Carolina history, Senator Dick Elliott of North Myrtle Beach, S.C.  We will look back at their friendship, its importance in the rise of John Jenrette, and Dick Elliot's own outsized career both in politics,  in business, and its  impact on our State of South Carolina and through out the Pee Dee region. Dick Elliott was as responsible for the rise of the Grand Strand in the Golf business, the tourism business, the improved road system, and the growth in Real Estate as anyone in the state, for he was a leader in every one of those industries as well as politics for nearly a half century.  In this episode we look back as John Jenrette lays the groundwork for one of the great upsets in the history of South Carolina politics against Representative John McMillan, who had served 16 terms in Congress. That will be the next story we will tell.  Questions or comments at , Randalrgw1@aol.com , https://twitter.com/randal_wallace , and http://www.randalwallace.com/Please Leave us a review at wherever you get your podcastsThanks for listening!!

On This Episode: LEARNING FROM THE DIVORCE OF A PROMINENT FIGURE The popular Steven Crowder recently announced his divorce. What followed was a hard-to-watch video of his verbally mistreating his then-8-months-pregnant-with-twins wife. I don't want to gossip. I want to learn. What I noticed in the video is that Crowder sees marriage as transactional (if you do wife duty "A," I'll do husband duty, "B"). That's not Biblical marriage. Especially for the men, lead. No matter what effort she's putting in, lead by putting your best effort into loving your wife. RETHINKING "CULTURAL CHRISTIANITY" I grew up denigrating cultural Christianity because it was the appearance of Christianity without people actually following Jesus. It was rule-following, but not genuine faith. I've begun to rethink that. Cultural Christianity was DEFINITELY better than the Secular Progressive age we're in. We need to go FURTHER than cultural Christianity, but I know humans would flourish more if we lived in that system instead of this one. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/corytruax/support
