President Biden has signed the spending bill that will keep the lights on, for now, after Donald Trump and billionaire First Buddy Elon Musk, nearly trigger a government shutdown. Rep.

Speaking of Chaos. After the spending bill fiasco, Speaker Mike Johnson is on thin ice with his grip on the gavel in jeopardy again. But who'd want that no good terrible job? I'll discuss Johnson's fate and other calamities awaiting his thin Republican House majority with Dana Milbank, Jasmine Wright, and Kevin Baron. And a message of hope. The Right Rev. Michael Curry will lift our spirits this last holiday weekend before Christmas. All that and more on “The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart.”

A GOP Insider's Election Analysis 2024In this episode of the Lean to the Left podcast, host Bob Gatty interviews Jamie Miller, former Executive Director of the Florida Republican Party and veteran of the 2000 George Bush campaign, for an analysis of Donald Trump's 2024 defeat of Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election. They discuss a variety of topics including demographic voting patterns, Miller's perceived overreach of the Democratic Party on key issues, the impact of immigration policies, and questions surrounding electric vehicles and the economy. For his part in this election analysis 2024, Host Bob Gatty points out the overreach of the Republican Party, including Donald Trump's threat to go after his perceived enemies, including many in the Democratic Party.They also touch on controversial subjects such as the aftermath of the January 6th Capitol attack, immigration policies including Trump's mass deportation plans and the situation of the Dreamers, and the debate over whether the 2020 election was legitimately won by Biden. Miller provides insights from his right-of-center perspective, while Bob offers counterpoints from the left, aiming to foster a balanced and reasonable discussion in this fascinating election analysis.Miller's bottom line was that Democrats lost the support of many voters by focusing on such issues as abortion, protecting LGBTQ+ rights, and allowing transgender individuals to compete in school sports, when their primary concern was the economy and inflation.Remember, I believe in the power of dialogue to drive change.

Send us a textThank you so much for being here!! It's a week post-US presidential election and many are processing it all. Today, we are going to have a conversation about how we as moms can help our teens and young adults to process their feelings following the 2024 presidential election. Our nation feels deeply divided, and these emotions are quite strong among young people. Teenagers and young voters – they often lack the historical context to see this election as one part of a broader political landscape. Teens are going to feel this moment intensely because they're still developing their emotional and cognitive frameworks for understanding complex societal events. So let's talk today about how we can help to create a space for them for open dialogue, how we can be sure to understand and validate their feelings, and how we can help to introduce them to healthy coping strategies.Jon Stewart post-election monologueThank you for listening and being part of this community!

Young voter turnout across the U.S. has historically been low. But this year, youth voter registration has surged. And that could make a difference in the Congressional District 13 race in northern San Joaquin Valley. Two years ago, Republican John Duarte beat Democrat Adam Gray by less than 600 votes. Reporter: Rachel Livinal, KVPR Another demographic that could sway the vote in California's 13th District is Latinas. They make up 1 in every 4 voters in the District, according to Lucete Latina, a Federal Political Action Committee.

SERIES 3 EPISODE 55: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: The obvious problem with John Kelly going on the record and saying yes, I heard Trump say quote “I need the kind of generals that Hitler had” is that a huge number of his supporters will applaud it. And the obvious problem with Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic quoting those who were there as Trump was told the cost of the funeral he'd offered to pay for, for a murdered U-S soldier named Vanessa Guillen, and Trump screamed “It doesn't cost 60-thousand bucks to bury an effing Mexican!” is that even MORE of Trump's supporters will applaud THAT. Because the real, disgusting, nauseating truth behind the revelations in the Goldberg Atlantic piece is that it touches the third and FOURTH rails of Donald Trump's America: many of his people believe whoever is in charge SHOULD be supported by and in fact kept in power by “the kind of generals Hitler had.” The antisemites in the Trump cult love it. And the ones who aren't antisemites just authoritarians love it even if they're queasy about the antisemitism. And the ones who aren't antisemites or authoritarians but have always secretly believed the word “Democracy” was just another brand name or FLAVOR love it because it posits a kind of America not just where MIGHT makes RIGHT, but where ONLY might makes right. And if there is anybody missing from the Trump Coalition of Evil, anybody who ISN'T inspired by “I need the kind of generals that Hitler had” they are certainly covered by “It doesn't cost 60,000 bucks to bury an effing Mexican” because if violence and militarism are the Trumpian third rail, racism and specifically anti-Hispanic racism are the FOURTH rail. MEANWHILE:19% of Republicans think if Trump loses he should just seize power (28% of Mormon Americans). The latest great polling numbers for Kamala Harris? In July she was getting less than half of voters under 35. She's now getting 60% And it sounds ridiculous: Ex-Flamenco Correspondent and Trump concierge judge Aileen Cannon as Attorney General? Honestly - how much more could she do for Trump than Merrick Garland has? B-Block (26:29) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Jeremy Peters of The New York Times says on MSNBC (with help from Katy Tur) that Kamala Harris is not as clear in her speaking as is Trump. Newsweek Magazine isn't certain if that photo of Trump in a Pittsburgh Steelers 100 pounds lighter and 40 years younger MIGHT BE A FAKE. And Trump's own campaign can't spell "Steelers" - and in a very Freudian way. C-Block (36:05) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: More of my atypical World Series previews: Why I'm adopting ex-Yankees manager Ralph Houk's attitude towards the team he, like I, grew up with: "Piss on the Yankees."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Americans under 30 years old have been through a lot in their young lives. Perhaps living through and witnessing the volatile political moment that was Donald Trump's presidency, a global pandemic, a violent attack on the U.S. Capitol, and growing devastation due to war in the Middle East, has led to their reported lack of trust in several key political and social institutions. And yet, as we hear in this episode, Gen Z is deeply engaged with the issues and ideas that will improve their experiences as young adults who want their personal rights protected, and the ability to have safe communities and economic security. Gen Z voter voices are at the center of this conversation, hosted live by Kai Wright at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark. We hear from journalist Rachel Janfaza, who covers the political culture of the Gen Z generation; Askar Mirza, commissioner of Ridgefield, N.J.; and Alexis Williams, who is a coder and a political and social justice content creator. They join Kai for a conversation about how they became engaged themselves and what they know about their peers' political priorities this election year.Special thanks to the entire staff at NJPAC, especially Donna Walker Kuhne, Kitab Rollins, Megan Barry and Shira Vickar-Fox.

One of the biggest questions of every election is: What's going on with young voters? There is endless speculation on the news about what young people care about, but very little good research examining their views on the candidates and the issues that matter most to them. The first-of-its-kind GenForward Survey changed that when it was created in 2016 at the University of Chicago.Led by renowned University of Chicago political scientist Cathy Cohen, the survey digs into what is animating young voters—especially young voters of color who are millennials and in Generation Z—and what they think of the candidates. With tight races in key swing states, young people might just hold the keys to the White House—and Cohen says that understanding what how they may vote in November is crucial to understanding the 2024 election.

It's an EmMajority Report Thursday! She speaks with adrienne maree brown, writer, activist, and co-founder of the United States League of Young Voters, to discuss her recent book Loving Corrections. Then, she's joined by Jakob Johnston, writer and researcher at the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR), author of the book Aid State: Elite Panic, Disaster Capitalism, and the Battle to Control Haiti, to discuss the recent pattern of hate crimes against Haitian immigrants in the United States. First, Emma runs through updates on the swing-state race, the fight for IVF, anti-migrant fear-mongering, US foreign policy, Israel's lies, and environmental emergency, also parsing through some lingering impacts from the debate. adrienne maree brown then joins, diving right into the disappearance of the community alongside growing feelings of insecurity, isolation, and bigotry, tackling how this phenomenon is cultivated and stoked by the disappearance of public spaces. Expanding on this, maree brown walks through the precarious balance between rejecting mentalities of supremacy and dehumanization that divide us without cutting the line of humanity with the people who hold those views, before stepping back to tackle a few particular essays in ‘Loving Corrections,' which tackle the idea of countering the narratives of supremacy that have taken root in particular ideologies (patriarchy, Zionism) without atomizing or marginalizing the identities that have been corrupted (masculinity, Judaism, respectively). After expanding on the importance of understanding the historical and social context for building these bridges, adrienne and Emma bring the conversation to a close with the importance of understanding the personal context of interpersonal conflict. Jake Johnston then jumps right into summarizing the recent wave of anti-immigrant fear-mongering coming from the GOP and bolstered by the mainstream media, unpacking the deep history of the “savage” portrayal of Haitians from the state's outset as a product of the first truly successful slave revolt before stepping out to look at the material impact of the reemergence of this brand of fascist rhetoric, namely a wave of anti-migrant hate, violence, and threats. Taking a step back, Johnston and Emma expand on the long story of Haiti's economic exploitation at the hands of the US and the West, a relationship exacerbated coming out of the 2010 earthquake that wreaked havoc on the country's infrastructure and saw vulture capitalists (many state-backed) flock to the disaster to stake their claim, a development that has seen the Haitian government become even further disconnected from their population, elected by and accountable to donors, rather than voters. Wrapping up, Jake tackles the importance of using this moment of absurd anti-migrant hate to redirect the conversation toward the policies of exploitation and domination – and the lack of a politically-backed alternative – that create this insecurity in the first place. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder as they watch JD Vance triple-down on pushing absurd, conspiratorial migrant fear-mongering, Cody from Georgia unpacks Candace Owen's invocation of the Synagogue of Satan, and Emma gets something off her chest. Pat from Nebraska on talking politics with friends, Brett Weinstein accuses the Harris campaign of conspiring to inspire conspiracy, and Tulsi Gabbard goes all in on the theocratic fascism. Jack from Colorado reflects on the debate, and the combination of good politics and bad policy, plus, your calls and IMs!

North Carolina is one of the most interesting swing states in this election. Democrats have not won the Tar Heel state at the presidential level since 2008 when Barack Obama won it. It was a close race in 2020 and recent polling has shown Harris and Trump neck and neck in the state. There's a lot to unpack about what's going on. Anderson Clayton is the chair of the North Carolina Democratic Party. Elected at 25 years old, she is the youngest chair of a state Democratic Party in the U.S. Clayton joins WITHpod to discuss her political trajectory, the state of North Carolina politics, key issues including gerrymandering, her experience at the DNC and more.
The Democratic National Convention continued Wednesday night as Tim Walz formally accepted the nomination for Vice President. He went full "coach mode," whipping supporters into a frenzy as Vice President Kamala Harris prepares to receive the nomination as the Democratic Presidential candidate on Thursday. Meanwhile, protestors outside the convention center continue to challenge Democrats from the left on issues like the war in Gaza, reproductive rights, and LGBTQ freedom. Chicago journalist Shawn Allee brings us the perspectives of young voters from the convention as they share which issues matter most to them at the ballot box.In anticipation of Vice President Kamala Harris' nomination, we talked to Jay Caspian Kang, a staff writer for the New Yorker, about the Harris campaign's lack of details on policy proposals. With just over two months remaining until election day, we asked him what people want to hear from Harris as she gives her much-anticipated acceptance speech this evening.
