SEASON 4 EPISODE 55: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: So would you like to collapse the Trump Regime? Today? Peacefully? Legally? You - the White House press corps. It only takes one of you. You go into the next Oval Office Scrum, and you ask him politely for his explanation of something released by his administration, by Pam Bondi’s office, on the government website, and you read – quoting this FBI 302 interview file: “Maxwell presented (her) to Trump…by the things Maxwell said, it was clear that (she) was available…”And don’t stop reading and don’t make eye contact. THEN from the sworn affidavit, reed, quote: “I personally witnessed Defendant Trump telling the plaintiff that she couldn’t ever say anything, if she didn’t want to disappear like the 12-year old female (redacted) and that he was capable of having her whole family killed…” Quote: “the physical and sexual abuse that I personally witnessed of minor females at the hands of Mr. Trump and Mr. Epstein... under penalty of perjury even though I fully understand that the life of myself and my family is now in grave danger” unquote, what SIR is your explanation SIR about when you threatened this girl’s life, sir. Just keep asking. Don't make eye contact, don't stop, don't stop talking when he starts talking. Just reel off those quotes. And the one about becoming fertilizer. And the "Calendar Girls" story (as nonsensical as that probably is). And all the others. Because we don't always see the escape hatch when it appears before us, and it just appeared. Because the Epstein Files are part of an official Department of Justice Document Dump. Their contents are Pam Bondi's problem, not you or your lawyer's. And if you don't bear down and do this job as it was designed by the Founding Fathers, you will sooner or later face one of these outcomes: you'll be arrested, you'll be replaced by some automaton Bari Weiss likes, or the country will survive and the next people running media will never consider you for work because you were cowardly when we needed your courage. Oh and you can peacefully, legally end the careers of Elon Musk and Marco Rubio and Bari Weiss and lots of others. The material is all in front of you. Just have the courage to pick it up and fling it, like he'd fling his poo at you. ALSO: Don Lemon was arrested not because Jesus but because Trump has always hated him. And if you've forgotten, I explained two weeks ago why Trump was trying to restart the 2020 crap, now sending Tulsi Gabbard to Georgia. They're sitting up not a claim that the election was fixed, but that the election was fixed by another country (hey, Nicolas Maduro, you mind taking the rap, in exchange for a pardon?) and there is no statute of limitations on THAT. B-Block (34:55) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Harriet Hageman, the blob they elected to the House from Wyoming to replace Liz Cheney, is now running for Senate. Emphasize "running": she has fled a town hill. The Bill Maher Pretzel Logic: Celebrities should shut up, voters don't listen to TV and movie stars. But Bill, you expect them to listen to you. So you're saying you're not a star? And the latest Bari Weiss firing target is supposedly Face The Nation host Margaret Brennan and one of the names being thrown around (probably nonsensically) is Matt Lauer. C-Block (54:00) MONDAYS WITH THURBER: We need a doubleheader. I heard an audio book with a famous actor doing Thurber's tribute to what would be called Dunning-Kruger Syndrome: "The Macbeth Murder Mystery" and it was one of those rare times when I actually said "No - I did this better." So I bring it to you, and as a bonus, a second great unheralded Thurber story: "Meet Birdey Doggett." Enjoy them at your leisure.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In breaking news, independent journalist Don Lemon has been arrested by Federal Agents while covering the Grammy Awards in LA last night. Michael Popok explains how 3 separate Courts in Minnesota, from the Magistrate to the Chief Judge to 8th Circuit Court of Appeals, all rejected an attempt to arrest Don and recognized his First Amendment Rights as a journalist. Yet the Trump DOJ, to distract from the en masse resignations planned in the Minneapolis US Attorneys' Office to protest the refusal to properly investigate the Pretti and Good murders, has now vindictively gone after Don.

But makes it clear that some Democrats refuse to our demands to Abolish ICE, including current Independent Michigan gubernatorial candidate Mike Duggan, who promised to work with The Trump Regime's ICE Gestapo while mayor of Detroit. 13:54-44:26: Julia Pulver on Protesting MattersMichigan progressive voice & activist, and RN, Julia Pulver, talks with Pat about why protesting matters in these times of Trump, ICE, data centers, and more. Julia says protesting is Democracy in Action, and the more we make our voices heard, the better a chance we have at forcing real political change. We're seeing that already in Minneapolis as protesting helped shine a spotlight on the brutal invasion of ICE in American cities.

MAGA's never been about gun rights, freedom of speech rights, or economic rights for the working class. It's been about making this a whiter America, and if white Americans get in their way, they'll be disappeared, too.Please, subscribe to the podcast, download each episode, and give it a good review if you can!leftoflansing@gmail.comLeft of Lansing is now on YouTube as well!leftoflansing.comMusic provided by Wanderbeats.

(This episode was recorded before the tragic murder of ICU nurse Alex Pretti by ICE in Minneapolis yesterday). On this episode of The Siren Podcast, Jo is joined by Siren contributor Kaivan Shroff to discuss his latest piece for MS NOW, titled: “Cell phone videos are protecting Americans — and eroding our privacy.” There is no doubt that the thousands of videos from citizens documenting ICE are protecting Americans, and in some cases, have even saved lives. In the face of a brutal regime that lies to its citizens with every breath they take, the videos are playing a crucial role in spreading rapid-response information and organizing strategies to on the ground ICE protestors. The videos are also shining a light on the atrocities ICE is committing everyday for Americans who either once supported Trump, or never took the time to deeply examine the immigration issue. In other words, the video documentation is rapidly turning Americans against Trump, and radicalizing them against ICE and the regime. A reported 73% of Americans saw the video of Renee Good's murder by ICE, and 45% say they support abolishing ICE. That number will only grow with yesterday's execution-style killing of ICU nurse Alex Pretti. But as Kaivan tells us, this firmly accelerates our march towards a surveillance state. He writes in his piece: “Every viral video, live-streamed arrest or crowdsourced map expands the mass-surveillance landscape in the United States. Our phones become both a shield and a monitor. Protection merges with data production, and resistance begins to resemble a corollary tech-driven surveillance infrastructure: crafted by humans, often with good intentions, but also accessible to courts, law enforcement and the Big Tech oligarchy to boot.” Make sure to follow Kaivan Shroff on Substack, and check out his new podcast here.

That bill now moves onto the Senate where other "centrists" Democrats, like Michigan's Elissa Slotkin, says she will never back a push to Abolish ICE.Thanks to some excellent reporting, we now know that those pushing Democrats to say "reform ICE," rather than to abolish it are lobbyists for the defense and surveillance industries. There's a big election coming up in 10 months, and working class Americans are hoping there'll be a true opposition party to Trump's MAGA, but some Democrats would rather play along with authoritarianism than fight against it.

Attacks on RxKidsLeft of Lansing's Pat Johnston doesn't understand how spending around a trillion dollars to acquire Greenland to please billionaire Tech Bros helps working class Americans, who are struggling with high costs of food, electricity, child care, health care, and car insurance. And it took awhile, but MAGA Michigan Republicans are finally beginning to attack the successful RxKids program. Pat explains why. Because, it works!15:38-43:35: Jennifer Schulze InterviewLongtime Chicago journalist and media critic Jennifer Schulze joins the show to talk about MAGA media propaganda machine. On her Substack, Indistinct Chatter, Jennifer wrote an article on the MAGA political operative Nick Shirley, and how his propaganda videos on so-called "fraud" in child care facilities in Minnesota, led to the Trump Regime's Ice Gestapo invasion in Minneapolis. And Jennifer and Pat discuss the devolving of CBS News, which is becoming a Trump Propaganda News Network by the billionaire-picked News Director, Bari Weiss. 42:01-51:25: Last Call-Whitmer's SilenceIn this week's "Last Call," Pat criticizes Michigan Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer's continued refusal to stand-up for working class Michiganders, and all Americans, while the Trump Regime causes pain in a myriad of ways. 51:26-53:35: EndingPlease, subscribe to the podcast, download each episode, and give it a good review if you can!leftoflansing@gmail.comLeft of Lansing is now on YouTube as well!leftoflansing.comMusic provided by Wanderbeats.

The Feisty, former Navy Helicopter Pilot got right to work, signing two executive orders during her inaugural speech, declaring a state of emergency on utility costs in New Jersey. One order freezes utility rate hikes, and another aims to develop new sources of electricity production to lower utility costs in the long term. The newly sworn-in Democrat sought to contrast the history and character of her state against the Trump Regime. Speaking on the Declaration of Independence, Sherrill says "The people of New Jersey recognize the parallels" between British King George III and President Trump. She accuses the president of "illegally usurping power" and imposing a "Tariff Regime" that hurts New Jerseyans so he can enrich himself. Gov. Sherrill promised to make New Jersey a "New Ark" for "Liberty and Prosperity," drawing on the state's motto. She says she will sign executive orders to freeze energy rate hikes and will fight what she views as abuses of power by the Federal Government.

After being late on disclosing how she and her husband plugged-in around $900,000 in trades last year which included Peter Theil's Palantir, Lisa & her husband are in the news once again for more insider trading shenanigans. Just days before the Trump Regime's Pentagon announced plans to expand Elon Musk's xAI in the military, Lisa's husband apparently purchased between $100,000-$250,000 of the private xAI stock.I'm sure it was just dumb luck.Please, subscribe to the podcast, download each episode, and give it a good review if you can!leftoflansing@gmail.comLeft of Lansing is now on YouTube as well!leftoflansing.comMusic provided by Wanderbeats.

On today's show, host Esty Dinur is joined by Alfred W. McCoy to talk about his latest book, Cold War on Five Continents: A Global History of Empire and Espionage, available from Haymarket Books. His book offers an intimate portrait of both covert operatives and antiwar activists, thus humanizing a history often told in impersonal terms of nuclear arsenals or diplomatic ententes. Turning away from the usual focus of the Moscow-Washington stalemate, McCoy looks at the regions of the world where the Cold War was actually fought, arguing that Southeast Asia experienced the worst of Cold War violence. From South Vietnam to the Middle East, to Africa and Latin America the major world powers fought surrogate wars amounting to 20 million deaths. McCoy describes how the US spread its military around the world and operated covertly in Afghanistan, Angola, and elsewhere. He says that the first success of “the man on the spot,” Kermit Roosevelt Jr., was in Iran where he helped to install the Shah in “a spectacularly successful exhibit of regime change.” McCoy says that we're currently seeing a “radical shift in US geopolitical posture” moving away from “an international system of law and commerce to becoming a regional hegemony” as seen in what McCoy calls Trump's “tri-continental strategy.” Trump has decided to concentrate US power in the Americas, from Canada to Greenland and Venezuela. He says that Trump views oil and power as synonymous, but this is a miscalculation on Trump's part. McCoy sees the era of oil as over and the next horizon is in renewables and will be dominated by China. Alfred W. McCoy holds the Harrington chair in history at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Since earning a history doctorate in 1977, his teaching and writing have focused on Southeast Asian history, modern empires, and the covert netherworld of syndicate crime and state security.

There is heavy support to restrict ICE activities. Left of Lansing's Pat Johnston says now is the time for Progressive Democrats to push a bold and strong message to abolish ICE since it's against everything we value in our country and our democratic society. And we must say "No," to those corporate Democratic Party groups who say Democrats should push incremental changes to ICE this election year.

That's why several Democrats including Michigan Congresswoman Haley Stevens were completely derelict in their duty to oppose the Trump Regime's authoritarianism from the start. While progressive Democrats and Democratic Socialists are standing-up for those who don't have power in this scary time in American history, too many corporate Democrats believed capitulating to Authoritarianism was the best play.

This week on Sunday Wire host Patrick Henningsen is joined by teammates Bryan 'Hesher' McClain and Adam ' Ruckus' Clark, and Basil Valentine, to discuss the New Year's top stories—including the Trump Administration's smash-and-grab bombing and regime change operation carried out in Venezuela yesterday, including the illegal US abduction of Venezuelan President Maduro and his wife, dragged to New York and held on remand for the next year before facing a rigged kangaroo court trial for alleged "narco terrorism". This is one of the worst warmongering Neocon attacks by the US in history. Is it too late to pull back from the brink, or is Trump and Israel determined to start WWIII? All this and more.

Is “cocaine trafficking” and “machine gun trafficking” just a pretext to the recently “cognitively tested” Trump taking over Venezuela's oil reserves and its formerly American oil company, Citgo? How do you square Trump pardoning Honduras' president from a 45 year coke trafficking sentence for moving the most coke in the western hemisphere, with claiming regime change was necessary in Venezuela because of the cocaine trade? Popok looks closely at the Largest oil reserves in the world that are located in Venezuela, and the connections between Trump's inner circle, Russia and Citgo.

#podcast #politics #progressive #Michigan #Democrats #Trump #Republicans #Election2026 #WorkingClass #CorporateGreed #CorporateCorruption #GovernmentCorruption #HaleyStevens #Senate #CorporateDonors #Inequality #WealthInequality #Authoritarianism #Democracy #LeftOfLansing Here's the Left of Lansing "Monday Musing" for January 5, 2026. In the first "Monday Musing" of 2026, Pat Johnston explains how this election year can't just be about voting for Democrats. It must be about voting for Democrats who push a real and aggressive populist-progressive working class agenda while the Trump Regime and MAGA Republicans represent only the elite corporate donor class. Pat says it must be not only about defeating MAGA, but also defeating establishment Democrats, like Michigan Democratic Congresswoman Haley Stevens who's running for the U.S. Senate, who stand in the way of advancing any real and bold working class agenda. This country is turning more right-wing authoritarian, and the only way to combat it is through real and strong progressive change.

2025 was, to put it lightly, a pretty bad year. We've got our annual recap of the fights we've waged in the working class against the billionaire assault and a look to what may be coming up in 2026. From the fight to defend our immigrant neighbors to the defense of the very existence of higher education, workers across the US have been on the defensive from a full on attack from the ruling class. Whether through using AI as a form of labor discipline or shredding the collective bargaining rights of millions of workers, bosses have been aggressive in trying to crush our rights. But we've also seen a staunch defense of workers in the anti-genocide movement and millions of workers taking to the streets in general strikes in countries around the world. As bad as things got in 2025, there's a lot of reason to feel hopeful as we start 2026 looking to build a fightback that can overcome the class warfare of the Trump Regime.

If there's no data gathering or research, can there be climate change? The Big Tech Billionaire Bros keep pushing more data centers in Michigan, but the working class is resisting. However, the state's utility monopolies are pushing hard to the the state to green-light these centers. Getting rid of climate change research, pushing for data centers, and a possible war in Venezuela is all connected. It's corporate and government corruption joining forces to leave the working class struggling. 16:23-29:15: MAGA Michigan Guts Working Class Spending MAGA Michigan Republicans in the state House blocked already-approved funding for various work projects throughout the state, and other crucial spending projects to help working class Michiganders. We're talking about cutting money for the successful Rx Kids programs, wigs for kids with cancer, mental health services. 29:16-35:09: Trump on Reiner In the "Last Call," Pat talks about how Dear Leader Trump's asinine comments regarding the tragic death of movie director and longtime Democratic Party activist Rob Reiner. 35:10-37:05: Ending Please, subscribe to the podcast, download each episode, and give it a good review if you can! leftoflansing@gmail.com Left of Lansing is now on YouTube as well! leftoflansing.com NOTES: "Michigan Dems say $645M work project cuts are ‘cruel'; GOP's Rylee Linting also calls foul."

Michigan Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer remains eerily silent during The Trump Regime's first year back in power. "That Woman From Michigan" is choosing to remain cordial and friendly to a Regime that's causing a lot of harm and hurt to working class Americans while its corporate supporters keep making huge profits. To remain silent while the working class suffers speaks volumes about Governor Whitmer's moral compass.

We discuss the latest shocking affront to basic human decency by the Trump Regime, starving food insecure American families by cutting off SNAP to states that have not shared the private personal data of recipients with the regime's security forces. Governor Evers and Attorney General Kaul are right to tell Trump to pound sand. Will the federal courts or Congress stop them from triggering a hunger crisis in the U.S.? We review a fascinating discussion earlier this week at a U.S. Senate panel which began as a discussion of extending ACA tax subsidies but evolved into a broader bi-partisan discussion of the broken and unaffordable healthcare system. Senators Bernie Sanders and Tammy Baldwin point out there is a consensus the system needs fundamental reform. We dig into the details and its implications for progressives and healthcare reform advocates. We are joined by State Representative Darrin Madison to discuss the 2% of income utility rate cap bill. The legislation is still seeking co-sponsors until Monday December 8th. We urge our listeners to call their legislators today and email them by following this link. We look at how this bill connects to the current data center explosion, and the increasingly vehement and bipartisan protests, which are being ignored by most politicians.

Pat also shares how individuals from DTE & Consumers' Energy are suddenly engaged in next year's Attorney General race in Michigan. Now, why is that? 15:39-38:00: Melinda Billingsley on Mop Up Michigan Prop. Melinda Billingsley from Voters Not Politicians joins us to talk about the Michiganders for Money Out of Politics ballot initiative. Better known as "Mop Up Michigan," the proposal aims to end corporate influence in the state by banning corporations from making political contributions to politicians if they are doing business with the state. Volunteers are gathering signatures in order to put the question on the ballot for voters in 2026.

Dear Leader Donald Trump declared that Michigan's Democratic U.S. Senator Elissa Slotkin, and other Democrats, should be hung like George Washington would hang those found guilty of sedition. Slotkin, and a handful of other Democrats, released a video imploring the United States military to refuse to follow any illegal orders from The Trump Regime. And rather than debate the merits of their argument, Trump wants them punished for "seditious" behavior. Violence, or even the threat of violence, is the hallmark of the MAGA Republican Party movement. This is yet another example of it.

Affordability is at the top of voters' minds and concerns. So, it's no wonder why Trump suddenly reversed some of his inflationary tariffs on several grocery items. Pat also brings up the different ways some MAGA grifters drive to divide working class. 17:01-38:00: Bridge Michigan's Kelly House Interview Bridge Michigan's environmental reporter, Kelly House, joins the show to discuss this sudden rush for data centers in Michigan. Ms. House talks about the controversy over a huge A.I. data center in Saline Township, MI, and how Michigan's state legislature helped make it possible to bring these data centers to the state. She also talks about the tax benefits for local communities, but the major environmental concerns these data centers bring with them.

Democrats in the U.S. Senate have decided to cave and capitulate to The Trump Regime, and the MAGA Republican Congressional majority, by voting to end the MAGA Republican Government Shutdown. These 7 Democratic Senators, and one independent Senator, undercut the moral high ground on the government shutdown since The Trump Regime and MAGA Republicans in Congress refused to extend Obamacare subsidies. This latest capitulation must serve as a reminder that as much as we must oppose the authoritarian takeover of The Trump Regime, we must oppose and throw-out those in the Democratic Party who believe capitulation is the only way to deal with corporate autocracy.

Millions of working class workers are receiving alerts that their SNAP benefits will be gone in November as the Trump Regime's government shutdown continues. Pat Johnston explains why the MAGA Congress is more than willing to help The Regime keep the government closed: To keep the Epstein Files from being released as long as possible. Even if that means 1.4 million working class Michigan families will lose their food assistance. MAGA Republicans would rather inflict pain on the working class in order to protect Trump, and the billionaire donor class, from the Epstein Files.

MAGA Republicans are hoping voters will blame Democrats for the shutdown even thought Democrats have no power in Washington, D.C. Pat shares a number of stories in how government and corporate corruption work hand-in-hand to support The Trump Regime. And he explains why the No Kings protests weren't just an effort to oppose The Regime, but it was an effort to show working class solidarity. 35:06-39:55: Last Call-Pot Tax Unpopular Suddenly, no one in Lansing wants to take credit for the unpopular 24% wholesale tax on recreational marijuana to help pay for road repairs. 39:56-41:49: Ending Please, subscribe to the podcast, download each episode, and give it a good review if you can! leftoflansing@gmail.com Left of Lansing is now on YouTube as well! leftoflansing.com NOTES: "War of words continues over who greenlit Michigan wholesale pot tax: Brinks or Hall?"

Last weekend's "No Kings" protests were a ringing success as 5-8 million Americans marched nationwide. Pat Johnston explains how the event didn't just help millions realize they weren't alone in their anger and fear with The Trump Regime, but it also helped give millions hope for a better future. But, Pat shares his views on how the protest wasn't just a demonstration against the corrupt corporate cronyism of The Trump Regime, but it was a demonstration against neoliberalism, and how it led us down this autocratic path that's decimating the working class and our democracy.

We are back after a week off! We welcome State Representative Vinnie Miresse to the show to discuss new legislation to protect the ‘rights of nature' and reinstitute a state anti-mining law. We take stock in the state of American democracy and why Saturday's No Kings Rally 2.0 will communicate by the number of people who turnout widespread opposition to the authoritarian usurpations of the Trump Regime. We encourage our listeners to attend an event near you. Find No Kings Rallies here. We look at a current Supreme Court case that could deal a death b low to America's multiracial democracy by legalizing racial gerrymandering. Robert helps us understand why the United Healthcare and Ascension deal unintentionally lays bare the corruption of hospital and insurance pricing and why it's long overdue for the hospital industry to be regulated in the public interest. We also discuss the toll of over a decade of austerity in Wisconsin, as a new report ranks Wisconsin 46th in the nation in public college affordability. We close by highlighting the overwhelmingly approving by the state senate of a bill to require health insurers to cover all necessary breast cancer screenings, including women that are hard to diagnose, without co-pays and deductibles.The bill is named for a Neenah woman who died of breast cancer because of inadequate screenings. Outcome in the Assembly unclear, as the health insurance industry has killed the bill during the last two legislative sessions. But word in the Capitol is that Robin Vos will block it in the Assembly, just as he has done with postpartum care for women and their children.

He shares how centrism failed to keep the working class in the Democrats' hands, and thanks to the centrists strategies, the working class is getting squeezed by The Trump Regime. Pat also highlights how Michigan Democratic U.S. Senate candidate, State Senator Mallory McMorrow, finally declared Israel's actions in Gaza to be a genocide. And he covers the latest Michigan state budget agreement. 19:21-38:53: Jess Newman of Invest in MI Kids Jess Newman of the Invest in MI Kids coalition talks about how the ballot initiative would levy a 5% surcharge on Michigan's top earners to raise $1billion per year for Michigan's public schools. While per-pupil funding for schools has increased during the last few years, Michigan still lags in education spending thanks to major cuts during the recession of the 2000's. This initiative wouldn't only ensure PUBLIC schools would receive massive increases in spending, but that spending would be constitutionally guaranteed.

We start with the on-going invasion of many Wisconsin communities by energy and water sucking data centers. While profiting Silicon Valley, Wall Street, and Big Utilities these projects threaten to accelerate runaway climate change and spike already unaffordable utility prices. While state and local economic development boosters, including the Evers Administration, throw public money at data centers without considering the massive environmental costs and limited economic impact, a few brave communities are standing up in places such as Menomonie and Caledonia. We need to refocus public policy on addressing the climate crisis, not economical development boondogles that light the planet on fire. We encourage people to attend this Sunday's Climate March at the Capitol in Madison at Noon. Meanwhile Trump, Vance, and their minions rush to politicize the violent attack on ICE office in Dallas before the facts are in, blaming Democratic and left wing truth-telling about the abuses of Trump's immigration crackdown. There is a problem with political incendiary language, that it come from the President, Vice President, and MAGA, not elected progressives and mainline Democrats. We talk about the potential of a government shutdown, and the Trump Regime impact in Wisconsin this week, including Derrick Van Ordin's demand to cut off federal dollars to the City of Eau Claire, Ellsworth, and Mayo Clinic in retaliation for social media posts. Citizen Action Board member and former state Representative Sandy Pasch joins us to warn our listeners about a terrible new bill in Madison that restricts free speech in the name of fighting antisemitism by making legitimate and First Amendement protected cricism of Israel into hate speech. The bill is yet another authoritarian attempt to empower governmet crackdowns against civil society groups and free speech. Sandy calls for our listeners to reach out to their state representative and senators to oppose AB 446, and support alternative legislation that meaningfully addresses antisemitism. Finally, we welcome Chris Gooding, Theology professor and union leader at Marquette University, to update our listeners on the Jesuit university's union busting in the name of God. We discussed how this anti-union strategy spread this month to Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, where the university walked away from negotiations with their workers, prompting outrage on campus and a strike vote.
