Episode 219 Audio: Greg Palast

2 päivää sitten

—

Investigative journalist Greg Palast is rejoining the show to discuss the dire straits into which a recent Trump executive order is putting our country. Each week has its fresh horror, and Krystal’s conversation with Greg delves into the latest. Greg has a seriously impressive background in shining a spotlight on the Republican agenda of making sure people can’t vote so the far-right oligarchs can entrench their minoritarian rule. You hate to see it, and you certainly hate to see the newest policy, which, as Krystal points out, would basically let Elon decide who gets to vote, both in the midterms and in the next presidential election, if you can even call them elections. All states’ voter files, as Greg explains, would be open to Elon under this order, since he’s the DOGE (ugh) administrator. The point is to stop “aliens” from voting in elections, removing them from voter rolls, and the extent of the voter suppression will clearly go well beyond this stated goal to push Trump and Elon’s bid for endless power. Greg gives us some necessary background on the history of voter suppression that has actually done very little to address the tiny number of so-called “illegal aliens” who do vote in American elections, facing massive consequences. He reminds us that Trump can’t name three people who voted illegally, not to mention three million. Yet these people are the scapegoats for the Republicans’ ugly project of making sure working people can’t vote for their own interests. What remains to be seen is how the political establishment absorbs this news and how the so-called opposition party chooses to fight back.

Episode 218: Trump Stealing a Third Term?

8 päivää sitten

—

In a special episode featuring your two hosts, we discuss Trump’s long game for a regime: taking the so-called presidency again in ‘28 and continuing to wreak whatever havoc doesn’t fit into the next four years. (Not to be too doomer about it — don’t mourn, organize! ) He’s got the usual cast of characters running amok, from Steve Bannon telling Chris Cuomo that Trump will take that third term (and then who knows what, right?) As Krystal brings up, destroying Medicare and Medicaid will be so politically disastrous that Trump will basically have to be in a situation where he doesn’t care what voters think anymore. Subscribe now Yes, it’s bleak, but people are fighting back — from government employees getting fired left and right to grassroots organizers watching their communities face instability and lose important resources. We’ll continue to cover the developing story of Trump’s post-’28 ambitions, and we’ve also got plenty of lighter material to cover. Plus, Bernie’s increasingly urgent call to progressives to run as independents could mean there’s some hope for a real opposition. We’ll talk about all this and more in this week’s episode of KK&F. You can listen to this episode tomorrow as a podcast on Spotify, Pandora, Apple Podcasts, and more.…

Fair enough: Rep. Zohran Mamdani got pulled into a legislative session this week to fight for working people in the NY State House, but never fear — we have lots of content for you: the Gavin Newsom supervillain arc, making fun of Teslas and why some people are being mean to Tim Walz about it, plus The Horrors, from Social Security payments not going out to the Department of Education becoming Trump’s target.

Episode 217 Audio: Robert Weissman

16 päivää sitten

This week’s guest, Robert Weissman, walks us through the current climate of grassroots and organizational pushback against our government’s current self-destruct mode. To make a long story short, it’s not looking easy on the ground — but essential victories prove that there’s a limit to the number of times Trump and his cronies can buy out justice and rely on a conservative Supreme Court to do the heavy lifting. A particular important victory comes in the form of the Supreme Court’s 5-4 decision to rule Trump’s freeze on USAID funding unconstitutional. Weissman tells the amazing story of how Public Citizen and other groups are suing Trump for violating the Constitution, but that in general, Trump’s powerful and endlessly wealthy machine can simply wait out and run red tape around these completely legitimate cases. However, in the case of USAID, something different happened. Multiple courts found that Trump’s team had defied court orders and potentially the Constitution, and even though the government tried to ignore a temporary order from a judge demanding that the USAID funding be unfrozen, they were eventually held to account by (of all things!) the Supreme Court. This is a story of hope and, for both existing and nascent political organizations opposing Trump fascism, inspiration. We’re glad to have Robert on the show to shine a light on this important story in hopes that it’s one of many.

For Episode 216, we dive into the dumbest trade war ever with political writer Lule Savage. Trump has promised to go full steam ahead with tariffs that could devastate industries and cause massive job loss in Canada. Leveraging 25 percent tariffs on most exports would significantly affect the Canadian economy and destabilize the relationship between the countries. Trump has since pulled back some of the tariffs but the remainder are supposed to be put back in place on April 2nd. Subscribe now What is Trump actually trying to accomplish here? Will he follow through next time at a time when the US is also in danger of slipping into recession? Is he actually trying to annex Canada as he has frequently insisted? Luke helps us explore the question of what the hell Trump is actually thinking with this disastrous policy.…

Episode 216 Audio: Rep. Maxwell Frost

As Krystal puts it in this week’s episode during a discussion of the latest in Elon Musk’s quest for world domination, Elon thinks he’s Ready Player One, and we’re all NPCs. Rep. Maxwell Frost joins us to assess the damage. As our conversation takes a deep dive into the insights Maxwell has to offer into the psyches of two billionaire egotists, we talk about one of the biggest shockers of the Trump presidency so far: that Trump has finally found someone he’s willing to play second fiddle to, it seems. Subscribe now Looming over Cabinet meetings and following the president around like a shadow, Musk seems to be setting the terms for what the Trump agenda has in store. Which leads us to a disturbing conclusion: Because Trump is so “nakedly transactional,” what are the chances an actual transaction took place? We don’t think it’s that hard to imagine Musk, the richest man in the world, buying out the highest position of power in the world in exchange for infinite campaign funds. We get into this and plenty of other shockers on this week’s episode of KK&F. You can listen to this as a podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and other streaming services.…

Episode 214 Audio: Greg Palast

This week we get a bombshell report from reporter Greg Palast regarding voter suppression that changed the 2024 election results. In our exclusive interview with him, Greg alleges that the 2024 election results are not valid; without the gross Jim Crow-era abuses of voting rights that predominated during this election, Kamala would have gotten an extra 3.5 million more votes, clinching states like Georgia and Michigan. Part of this episode is Greg’s overview of his work reconstructing on a state-by-state basis how Trump and his people relied on Ku Klux Klan legislation allowing for individual voter status to be challenged, laws that haven’t been used since 1946 but came back in a major way during this election and led to Trump’s victory. Subscribe now We’re grateful to Greg for taking the time to bring attention to this critical story, which could have serious implications for the future of our political landscape and our understanding of the current scope of voter suppression happening in our country. Thanks for listening to Krystal Kyle & Friends. You can listen to this episode as a podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pandora, and more.…

MoveOn Director FIRES BACK At Hakeem Jeffries

6 weeks sitten

We are releasing a special bonus episode this week in order to give the Director of MoveOn a chance to respond to reports that Democratic leaders are irritated by their grassroots activists demanding those leaders actually fight back against Trump. We will still have our normal episode out for everyone later this week. Subscribers receive that full video on Friday and the audio will be free for all Saturday. We so appreciate your support for this show which I can assure you will never waver in holding power to account! Subscribe now In this free bonus episode, Rahna Epting, leader of MoveOn, gives us essential insight into the friction between a Democratic voter base fired up about opposing Trump and the party establishment that isn’t acting like much of an opposition. We talk to Rahna about Hakeem Jeffries’ recent calling out grassroots liberal orgs like MoveOn and Indivisible in a closed-door meeting for Democrat lawmakers and how she interprets the criticism. Subscribe now The issue Jeffries and other lawmakers took with MoveOn this week might strike you as surprising: as Rahna explains it, the organizing MoveOn has been doing with elected representatives in the wake of Trump’s inauguration has been pretty “business as usual.” That is, members of MoveOn, of whom there are millions (at least one in every congressional district, according to Rahna), called their lawmakers to encourage them to oppose Trump’s agenda. Sound familiar? It’s the kind of organizing that’s been bread and butter for grassroots progressive orgs to get everyday people involved in the process of democracy and in rejecting abuses of federal power. Rahna and the MoveOn team weren’t expecting to be met with hostility from Democrats in office, with whom they presumably share common goals and strategies. But perhaps the Democrats weren’t expecting to be relentlessly called by their constituents demanding they take action, holding them accountable to their electorate, and strongly supporting opposition to Trump. Rahna suggests that this is where Democrats’ energy should go: rather than critiquing parallel efforts from grassroots organizations to join the party’s professed resistance of Trump, they too can act on the recommendations of their constituents and oppose the latest budget cuts, attacks on civil rights, and federal austerity that Trump has already begun to usher in.…

With Judd Legum of Musk Watch, we review the highlights (lowlights?) of This Week in Musk and, given the trends in Musk’s escalating power, what a Next Week in Musk might look like. From the insane reveal that Grimes objects to her ex’s bringing their son to hang out with Trump to careful analyses of Musk’s attacks on the various branches of government, we’ve got a full show covering all the points you’re interested in hearing about — so we’re glad you’re joining us. Subscribe now In case you missed it, Tuesday featured a press conference with Musk and Trump as the latter announced an executive order to give the former even more power over government spending.. In reporting on the presser, our guest Judd notes DOGE’s goal as described by one source close to the organization, “to depress workforce morale and increase attrition” within government employment, basically forcing people out of jobs and making government jobs less tenable, more dysfunctional work environments. Judd breaks the situation down for us and helps us get a sense of where Elon might be headed. This episode is available as a podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Pandora, and other major streaming platforms.…
