Podcasts about Capital Hill

Among the legendary singers of the 27 Club who captivated the world with their music and lyrics, is a woman who is not as well known—one whose powerful voice and thought-provoking lyrics set her apart from the men dominating the industry. Mia Zapata and her band, The Gits, were on the verge of becoming a household name in Seattle's grunge and punk rock scene when everything was ripped away one night in July of 1993. Mia Zapata's violent murder shocked Seattle as a whole. Who would want to kill a woman, with no enemies, who was so dynamic, vibrant, and creative, and how did they get away with murder for a decade?Connect with us on Social Media!You can find us at:Instagram: @bookofthedeadpodX: @bkofthedeadpodFacebook: The Book of the Dead PodcastTikTok: BookofthedeadpodOr visit our website at www.botdpod.comABOUT — The Gits.

It started, as promised, on Day 1 of this super-charged Trump Administration. His targeting of political foes, immigrants, the LGBTQ community, people of color and the nonprofit organizations that defend their rights morphed into punitive and legally dubious executive orders. Fortunately, the civil rights community was prepared for the onslaught. They had studied Project 2025, pre-election, the administration's playbook for autocratic rule. John C. Yang, President and Executive Director of Advancing Justice - AAJC, my guest on this episode of Power Station, is one of those insightful and courageous leaders. He and his team at Advancing Justice - AAJC are standing up, in court and on Capital Hill, to the administration's efforts to defund Asian American organizations, decimate the federal workforce (8% of which is Asian American) and deport community members, including naturalized citizens. Advancing Justice - AAJC is working in concert with civil right and public interest organizations representing all communities who are being maligned and attacked. And these efforts are winning. We talk about diversity, a word that Trump now prohibits, and John reminds us that diversity is our strength and part of our national identity. This is a conversation about truth, hope and action. Listen and share!  

Darkness Radio Presents:  The Maury Island Incident: The First Sighting Of Aliens In America w/Mark Everton & Steve Edmiston In 1947 there were a series of bizarre encounters with Unidentified Flying Objects across the United States and Roswell, New Mexico became a household name. But first, in Washington, a spree of sightings would unfold bringing to the modern world the concept of the ‘flying saucer' and possibly the first instance of Men in Black.  This brings up the question, Is this first sighting on Maury Island (which was later called a hoax by the Government, for reasons stated in today's program)actually the first acknowledged sighting of UFO in America and not Roswell?! On Today's show, we welcome in the head of the UFO Mysteries Trail at Seattle Southside , an adventure that delves into the historical Maury Island Incident... and Steve Edmiston, the Screenwriter and Co-Producer of "The Maury Incident", an award-winning short film chronicling the true story of Harold Dahl and his alleged 1947 sighting of a UFO over Puget Sound. We talk with Mark and Steve about the incident, why Project Blue Book and the FBI deemed this a hoax, how the Men in Black became involved in this event (and why this area of the country has a Men In Black Birthday Bash!),and, if this case could be reopened and brought before the politicians on Capital Hill?!

The now debunked UFO photo displayed at a recent Capital Hill hearing by Luis Elizondo has many questioning if he is really that bad at picking UFO photos or if if he is simply engaged in a hoax meant to discredit the disclosure movement. Listen in to know more.

The Trump Administration is receiving push back from Democrats for the deportation of a Maryland man they claim was wrongfully sent to an El Salvadoran prison. This case has garnered a lot of attention in Washington, as multiple courts and political jargon have added to the complexities of the case. Critics of the Trump Administration are calling this a constitutional crisis, while others welcome this fight as an immigration mandate. Alongside this matter, there is a concern on Capital Hill that President Trump's global tariffs may affect the economy dramatically, as well as political careers following midterms.  Meanwhile, NVIDIA has agreed to invest $500 billion in the United States over the next four years, marking a major win for the Trump economic agenda and the AI race against China.  To discuss The Trump Administration's limitations on foreign policy and more, we bring in Chad Pergram FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent, Washington Bureau Chief of USA Today Susan Page, and Byron York Chief Political Correspondent for the Washington Examiner.

Here are the three big things to know this hour—   Number One— President Trump signed legislation on Wednesday cutting back on regulations on water restrictions—he is making showers great again!   Number Two— A whistleblower testified on Capital Hill- that Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg worked directly with the CCP to implement censorship—even on Americans—I know—shocking right?   Number Three— Oh ye of little faith – yesterday saw the biggest NASDAQ rally since 2001. Everyone can un-clutch their pearls.

Stigall thinks maybe. His guest - special counsel Will Chamberlin from Article 3 Project says its a little more nuanced than that. Still, Justice Alito's dissent yesterday seems to be an aggressive rebuke of his "conservative" justices. Can one judge in a district court stop the country's chief executive from clawing back money on taxpayers' behalves? Plus, the mayors of sanctuary cities across the country get blistered by House Republicans on Capital Hill yesterday, with one even threatening legal action against them.

Welcome to Fintech Takes! I'm Alex Johnson, and today we're heading straight into the belly of the beast—Washington, D.C.—where regulators, banks, and fintechs are jockeying for position. Joining me is Rob Blackwell, a 20-year American Banker veteran, Intrafi's Chief Content Officer, and host of the Banking with Interest pod. Today, we're diving into the big four: CFPB, OCC, FDIC, and the Fed. Regulatory shifts are moving fast, so by the time this airs, this could all be outdated—but hey, c'est la vie! First up, the push to gut the CFPB is gaining ground in some circles, but even banks and credit unions see value in maintaining a referee. Will the CFPB be sidelined (to, ahem, crypto's benefit) or bounce back with a vengeance? Rob's take is that it'll be weakened, not wiped out—it's too useful politically. Next, the FDIC's tailored supervision shouldn't mean loosening oversight, especially where fintech partnerships are involved. Small banks aren't JPMorgan, but they still need scrutiny. Same goes for the OCC, where new leadership is prioritizing collaboration with banks while pushing for targeted regulation to keep things fair. No wild cards here; Trump's picks are pragmatic, not radical. Finally, the FDIC and Fed are pushing for clearer rules and more transparency, aiming to rein in overreach without forcing banks into unwanted partnerships. The challenge: giving banks discretion while preventing regulators from nudging them into silent exclusions. Bottom line? The rules are changing, but power plays never do.

"From City Hall to Capitol Hill: Sylvester Turner Speaks"

EPISODE #85 : Robert F. Kennedy Jr. took to Capital Hill this week for his hearing before the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions on Thursday.

Regardless of your views of Trump, the number of executive orders show that he came prepared this time around. DeepSeek AI emerged from China and took out the entire US stock market.

Il bar di Guerre Stellari a Capital Hill. Ieri giornata in rosso: preoccupazione per Sinner, la foto studiata di Hamilton a Maranello, presentata la Ducati. Il resto della puntata è dedicata a Lorenzo Jovanotti, oggi a Radio Deejay per tutta la giornata!

Here are 3 Big Things you need to know to start today—   Number One— What will Joe Biden do in his last 4 days in office? Yesterday he took credit for a ceasefire in the Middle East—and a deal to get some hostages released—BUT everyone knows—it was really Donald Trump's re-election and ultimatum that got it done—   Number Two— Joe Biden is about to leave the White House with the lowest approval ratings—that I have ever seen—38%-- and he gave a farewell speech last night—honestly I didn't watch it—because I don't care—   Number Three— The Left IS Going Wild this week on Capital Hill and honestly; it has not been a good look—in fact I think its fair to say—it has been borderline frightening at times—

Here are the 3 Big Things you need to know to start today—   Number One— The confirmation battles on Capital Hill continues on Wednesday—and the teeth were bare and the fur was flying—just another day as Democrats watch their power slip into the hands of Donald Trump—4 days now—4 days—   Number Two— The argument over who made the deal to end the war in Gaza is now ongoing—I think Joe Biden may have tried to take credit for it again last night—BUT like I said—I didn't watch it—because with 38% approval—I don't care—and few others do either—   Number Three— It is sad—BUT the fires in Los Angeles are continuing—and the destruction is almost unimaginable—more than 12,000 homes lost—more than 2 dozen dead—

Here are the 3 Big Things you need to know to start today—   Number One— What will Joe Biden do in his last 5 days in office? Well for one—he removed the state sponsor of terrorism tag from Cuba—BUT other big surprises are coming—   Number Two— DOGE is sharpening its pencils and getting ready to cut the proverbial government fat—BUT how much can really get done—   Number Three— ON Capital Hill it was fireworks all over the place—and Pete Hegseth was not the only one in the hot seat—

In the run up to the presidential inauguration on Jan. 20, Inside Higher Ed's editor-in-chief Sara Custer and news editor Katherine Knott discuss what we know and what we don't know about president-elect Trump's policy agenda and how it could affect universities and colleges. Katherine and Sara discuss what sources are telling IHE reporters about incoming education secretary Linda McMahon and who the key players in the Republican-led Senate and House are. It's anyone's guess what the administration's policy priorities will be, but Katherine shares what she and Inside Higher Ed journalists will be looking for to get a sense of which way the wind might be blowing for higher ed on Capital Hill.

December 18, 2024 ~ Principal of Roe Strategic Jason Roe talks with Kevin about how Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is spending time on capitol hill this week to seek support for his confirmation as US Health Secretary.

Origin stories are powerful in shaping both people and organizations. In this episode of Power Station, Lelaine Bigelow, the outstanding executive director of the Georgetown Center on Poverty and Inequality, shares how her family inspired her all-in career as an advocate for racial, economic and gender equity. She credits civil rights champion and Georgetown University Law Professor Peter Edelman for founding GCPI and continuing to advance its mission to study, inform and act. As Lelaine explains, GCPI operates from a belief that an America without poverty is possible. Its small staff of policy and communications experts produce research on issues from climate change to health and housing disparities that perpetuate economic and racial inequality. They collaborate with elected leaders in state legislatures and on Capital Hill to design, enact and implement meaningful policy solutions to these profound challenges. We talk about GCPI's illuminating report on state abortion bans and their impact on women of color living in red states with diminishing public benefits. Lelaine is not slowing down or lowering expectations in the face of a new administration. She calls for not only defending hard-won policies but for pressing forward to achieve more.  

An argument erupts between Rep Pat Fallon (Republican, Frisco) ad Interim Director of the Secret Service Ronald Rowe Jr.  It was embarrassing, political theatre, political showmanship and a gotchya moment.  That was not productive and does not help to advance the solutions of improving the Secret Service.Support the show: http://www.wbap.com/chris-krok/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dr. Shea and I began the conversation with her book, "The Last Warning to the West". This is described as "Hungary's Triumph Over Communism and the Woke Agenda". The book is a guide that gives us an understandable pathway to save our nation. She describes the concern one should have with the monies Obama and Biden put into Ukraine. For this reason her friend Prime Minister Orban stayed away from funding Ukraine. It may be that U.S. can learn from Ukraine's willingness to stand up to wrongdoers and hold the line to defend its principles. She said that Judeo-Christian principles cannot be abandoned. That why Hungary stands apart. She sites that we are responsible for the provocation of war in Ukraine. The Biden Administration pushed for Ukraine to be in NATO. "They are not NATO-ready," says Dr. Shea. She identifies major corruption in Ukraine, and Ukraine's relationship with the Biden Administration. The Hungarians are a civil and humanitarian nation, willing to help refugees from Ukraine. But they are steadfast in preventing mass immigration into Hungary. They are also passionate about freedom and equality after suffering from Russia's oppressive control of their nation, going back to Stalin. But the Hungarians will not be pushed or subordinated to these NGO's, and human rights campaigns, which are nothing more than 'fronts' for the George Soros Marxist tendencies. Meaning, the tenants of Marxism and Communism cannot slip into our nation through fabricated crisis's and fears. But they're trying. Her concern is that in the last 14 years on Capital Hill she sees that Marxist/Communist advocates are creating creating chaos with the radical left media.Get Dr. Shea's Book: Last Warning to the West: Hungary's Triumph Over Communism and the Woke Agenda (Click Here)Dr. Shea Bradley-Farrell Compares Hungary ~ U.S. Social/Political Issueson the GrassRoots TruthCast with Gene ValentinoORIGINAL MEDIA SOURCE(S):‣ Originally Recorded on October 29, 2024‣ GrassRoots TruthCast: Season 2, Episode 273‣ Image courtesy of: GeneValentino.com➡️ Join the Conversation: https://GeneValentino.com➡️ WMXI Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/NewsRadio981➡️ More WMXI Interviews: https://genevalentino.com/wmxi-interviews/➡️ More GrassRoots TruthCast Episodes: https://genevalentino.com/grassroots-truthcast-with-gene-valentino/➡️ More Broadcasts with Gene as the Guest: https://genevalentino.com/america-beyond-the-noise/ ➡️ More About Gene Valentino: https://genevalentino.com/about-gene-valentino/
