2026 Elections and What Democracy Means This YearWhat if 2026 isn't just an election year, but the fight for representation itself? In this Season 6 premiere of Built by Us, host Kai McNeil sits down with Professor Dr. Irving Joyner from North Carolina Central University to examine the high stakes of the 2026 midterms and what democracy actually means for North Carolinians right now.Professor Joyner, who has spent decades studying civil rights and constitutional law, traces the history of voting rights expansion in North Carolina from the groundbreaking introduction of early voting in 1991 to the historic 2008 and 2012 turnout when Black voter participation outpaced white voter participation for the first time. But he also unpacks the ongoing attacks on those gains, from voter ID laws to the racial gerrymandering that has left one party controlling nearly 80% of our congressional delegation despite North Carolina being a 50-50 purple state.This episode breaks down what members of Congress, NC senators, and NC representatives actually do for everyday North Carolinians, not just the textbook definitions. From understanding provisional ballots to recognizing how gerrymandering in Congressional District 1 undermines fair representation, Professor Joyner explains why active participation matters now more than ever.As we enter a critical year with US House, US Senate, and NC General Assembly races on the ballot, this conversation is essential listening for anyone who wants to understand the power they hold and the democracy they're fighting to protect.Support Democracy NC's work at demnc.co/donate and connect with us on Bluesky, Threads, Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook.Support the showFollow us on all your favorite platforms!

Air Force One experiences electrical problems after takeoff to Switzerland and turns around to Andrews Air Base. All is well but the big plane is grounded and Trump and the press had to take two different planes to Switzerland.

A famous sports reporter announces she is running for US Senate, this could work. A young, uninformed, crazy liberal on CNN step in it big time saying it's provably true that Trump was part of a sex trafficking ring. This could be a lawsuit... soon.

The Trump Administration recently announced plans to withdraw the United States from dozens of United Nations treaties and organizations including the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, a treaty that was ratified by the US Senate in 1992 and is the key international forum for addressing the climate crisis. Marianne Lavelle, the Washington Bureau Chief for Inside Climate News, speaks about what this decision could mean for global climate progress. Also, the Colorado River provides water to seven western states, and there is not enough to go around. Recently the federal government ordered the states to agree on a plan on how to share what's left amid a worsening drought.

The conversation also touches on Fed independence tensions, Powell's recent statements, CPI data quirks amid grocery affordability concerns, potential DeFi regulatory impacts, and why Bitcoin may be coiling for a breakout despite short-term chop.

Send us a textElstun Lauesen grew up in Alaska and after dropping out of the University of Alaska Fairbanks in 1970, he managed former Alaska State Senator Joe Josephson's campaign for the US Senate to replace Bob Bartlett who had died in office; ultimately Joe lost the Democratic primary to Wendell Kay, and Republican Ted Stevens won that seat. After time at Harvard University (where he lived in Constitutional Law Professor Laurence Tribe's basement), Elstun returned to Alaska where he made a career in rural economic development. We discuss some of his projects on Saint Lawrence Island off the coast of western Alaska. Elstun is known to many listeners as a progressive firebrand; he and his wife of 21 years, former Alaska State House Representative Harriet Drummond, have been at the heart of Alaska Democratic circles for decades. Elstun has a pulmonary disorder that requires him to use supplemental oxygen and makes extended conversation challenging.

It's News Day Tuesday on the Majority Report On today's program: Sean Hannity attempts to coax Venezuelan opposition figure María Corina Machado into gifting her Nobel Peace Prize to Donald Trump as a way to flatter him into installing her as Venezuela's president. Dr. Kristin Lyerly, OB-GYN and chair of the board of the Committee to Protect Public Health, joins the show to discuss RFK Jr.'s plan to reduce the number of vaccines recommended for newborns from 17 to 11. in the Fun Half: Sean Hannity tries to coax Maria Corina Machado into gifting her Nobel Peace Prize to Trump in hopes he'll return the favor by installing her as president on Venezuela Tucker Carlson and Cheryl Hines pretend to be confused on how vaccines are important to public health. RFK, Jr's claims there has been no research into links between autism and vaccines administered to newborns. Trump comments on the dilemma he faces in wanting young people to be able to buy homes but also not wanting to devalue the net worth of current homeowners. Of course, we know he will not address this crisis in any meaningful way. Stephen Miller and Jake Tapper debate Venezuela in a neo-con vs neo-liberal cage match. Francesca Fiorentini floats the idea the invasion of Venezuela could have started with GOP mega donor and owner of Citgo, Paul Singer. Chris Cuomo delivers a very confused monologue about Venezuela where he mashes several concepts together without any linearity or logic. All that and more.

What happened to Dakarai Larriett is shocking, horrifying even, and yet it is not entirely remarkable for a Black man in America. In 2024, Dakairi, an Alabama native who spent years on Fifth Avenue in NYC as a corporate executive, was unlawfully detained at a traffic stop in Michigan. What followed was hours of race baiting, an attempted planting of drugs and later, in a cell, literal torture. This is not hyperbole. It is the truth of what happened to him captured by the police officer's own dashcam and bodycam. Video evidence notwithstanding, a judge declined to take action against the officers. In this first interview of Power Station in 2026, I speak with Dakarai about how his experience moved him to become an organizer, a champion for criminal justice reform and a 2026 Democratic candidate for the US Senate in Alabama. He is connecting with the families of incarcerated men in Alabama's deeply corrupt prison system and developing policies to upend business as usual, from lawless police officers to a for-profit prison system that enriches wealthy individuals and the state's coffers at the expense of uncompensated prisoners. His bravery is powerful.

It's the end of the year, (congress is in recess), so there's not much on until next week- which leaves me with not much to talk about. But, I do have updates in the fraud going on in Minnesota. (If the $9 Billion in fraud already uncovered, wasn't enough), Somalian ran day care centers receiving millions of dollars in federal money,- are a scam. I do have the exclusives on that. Jasmine Crockett announced that she is running for the US Senate seat in texts against Ted Cruz.
