Among the consequences of this "gem" are the fact that nursing education past the BSN level will no longer be eligible for student loans(!!). Congressional reps didn't even know this was happening - Let's make them aware! With a shortage of 300,000 nurses right now, and a need for more Nurse Practitioners, Clinical Nurse Specialists, Nurse Midwives, Nurse Anesthetists (sorry Dana...that one can be a tongue twister), and nurse leaders & researchers, NURSES ARE A SKILLED PROFESSION.

A 26-year-old former staffer to a New Jersey Congressman is facing criminal charges after faking a vicious political attack.

President Trump signed a bill ordering the Department of Justice to release all unclassified material related to Jeffrey Epstein. The bill - signed on November 19th - calls on the DoJ to deliver the files within 30 days. The president initially resisted Congressional efforts to sign the bill before reversing course ahead of a House vote. Democrats rallied around the push to get the files out, but are they picking the wrong fight? The affordability issue was a boon for Democrats in their sweeping victories in the 2025 elections. It could be the defining issue of the midterms. In the face of a cost of living crisis, the president rescinded a number of tariffs on vital goods last week. Will it be enough to win back the political ground he's lost? Plus, the redistricting effort in Texas faces a loss in federal court. Could that impact the effort to create more seats in California and other blue states that looked to counter Texas Republicans?As we look ahead to the Thanksgiving holiday, the panel shares what they're thankful for (with help from a few friends). Plus, KCRW remembers broadcasting pioneer Susan Stamberg.

Criminal Defense Attorney Donna Rotunno & former Los Angeles District Attorney Josh Ritter stop by to talk about the new Fox Nation show “The Weekly Rap Sheet”, which they co-host with Paul. Media Research Center TV host Justine Brooke Murray shares her thoughts on Michelle Obama's latest complaints about her time serving as first lady.

The lies around the James Comey indictment continue to grow, and we suspect we won't have Imaginary US Attorney Lindsey Halligan to kick around much longer. The US Attorney's Office in Maryland would like her to have some company on her way out. Meanwhile, MAGA's biggest nemesis, Judge James Boasberg in DC, is moving full speed ahead with criminal contempt hearings to figure out everyone in the Trump administration who decided to defy his orders. And Trump's strategy to openly demand that Republicans gerrymander even more Congressional districts in his favor seems to have backfired. Plus, for subscribers, we have a bonus segment on yet another judge having to tell a state no, OF COURSE you can't post the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms.

Today, Jess, Jamil, Les, and Morgan break down the Trump Administration's new 28-point peace plan for Ukraine — a proposal that would cap Ukraine's military size, cede territory to Russia, redirect frozen Russian assets toward reconstruction, and ban future NATO membership. Moscow's envoy praised the plan, Kyiv says it plans on discussing it with the White House, and European allies and some Congressional members express alarm over the terms.Is this the beginning of the end of the war, or a diplomatic dead end? What does the proposal signal about the White House's larger Ukraine-Russia strategy? Does this proposal reward Russian aggression and risk legitimizing invasion as a negotiating tool?Check out these sources that helped shape our fellows' discussions: https://www.axios.com/2025/11/20/trump-ukraine-peace-plan-28-points-russia https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-war-peace-plan-europe-witkoff-33545b140c5bfbbc5e9061a739802e54 https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cly1ypqlle0o @nottvjessjones@morganlroach@jamil_n_jaffer@lestermunsonLike what we're doing here?

Send us a textWe race from Prohibition to the modern bourbon boom, then settle in for a deep dive on finished whiskey with Dark Arts as our guide. Sponsors, community updates, and a holiday giveaway round out a fast, flavorful hour.• Prohibition's shock and the long road to repeal• WWII ethanol pivot and postwar bourbon export growth• 1964 resolution protecting bourbon's identity• 1970s slump, 1980s reinvention with single barrel and barrel proof• Rat Pack influence and changing bar culture• Tourism, education, and smarter marketing• Tariffs, distribution battles, and capacity growth• Finished bourbon acceptance and flavor innovation• Dark Arts origins, French oak and Armagnac tasting notes• Scores, takeaways, and brand shoutouts• Afterparty move to Facebook with live Zoom linkTune in to the Scotchy Bourbon Boys, become a member, subscribe, and enter the 12 Days of Christmas giveaway: “bourbons and whiskies from Christmas past and Christmas present, and then the one bottle from the Christmas future.”Bourbon doesn't just survive history; it adapts, pivots, and comes back stronger. We kick off with a fast tour from Prohibition's shutdown to the 1964 Congressional move that defined bourbon as a distinctive product of the United States, then through the 70s slump, the 80s reinvention with single barrel and barrel strength, and the 2000s surge driven by smarter marketing, tourism, and a far more educated drinker. Along the way, we unpack why tariffs and distribution shape what you find on shelves, how cooperage and barrel supply affect flavor, and why today's distilleries are betting on both scale and storytelling.Then we pour. Dark Arts takes center stage with two finishes that show how wood can expand a whiskey's world without drowning its roots. The French oak finish lights up the glass with raisin, currant, vanilla sugar cookie, and clove on a plush 108‑proof frame. The Armagnac finish leans into cinnamon toast, caramel, dark fruit, and a finish that refuses to quit, drifting into chocolate and toasted oak. We trade notes on mouthfeel, structure, and balance, and explain why these casks read as integrated rather than gimmicky. If you've ever wondered whether finishing can elevate a well‑made bourbon, this tasting offers a clear, compelling yes.We also shout out friends and sponsors across Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio, spotlighting experiences from barrel‑pick tours to serious craft dining. If you're mapping a whiskey trip, you'll hear where to book, what to try, and how to make the most of limited releases. Stick around to the end for community updates, our 12 Days of Christmas giveaway, and afterparty details.

The saying about Virginia is “There's an election every year.” In 2026, the Commonwealth is looking at two. A special election in early spring to overturn the Constitutional Amendment regarding redistricting and then the mid-term Congressional elections, regardless of what the districts look like, in November. Amid all that, internal accusations are tearing up the pages of Conservative social media and Substack accounts saying that the statewide losses in 2025 need to be addressed with leadership changes at the Republican Party of Virginia. We sit down with the Chairman of the Party, State Senator Mark Peake to go over it all.

Today on Stinchfield, we shine a white-hot spotlight on the corruption that Washington pretends doesn’t exist: insider trading by members of Congress. Yesterday’s hearing exposed exactly what we’ve been warning about for years, politicians using their power, their committees, their classified briefings, and your tax dollars to line their own pockets. And while Nancy Pelosi’s stunning stock gains always steal the headlines, she’s far from alone. We dig into the outrageous trades made by both Democrats and Republicans, the patterns that match policy decisions a little too perfectly, and the bipartisan refusal to pass the one law that would destroy their cash machine: a total ban on trading individual stocks. Grant lays out why the American people are being played for suckers, and why ending congressional insider trading is the reform we desperately need. Then, we turn to the NBA—where free speech goes to die. Brooklyn Nets star Michael Porter Jr., known online as “MAGA Porter Jr.”, has reportedly been told by the Brooklyn Nets to tone down or outright silence his political views. Imagine that: an athlete forced to censor his beliefs, not because he broke any rules, not because of misconduct, but because his opinions don’t align with the approved narrative. Grant breaks down how this fits the larger pattern of cultural censorship in America, why athletes are allowed to be political only when they parrot left-wing talking points, and what Porter’s situation reveals about the state of free expression in professional sports. All that and more—today on Stinchfield. https://GrantLovesGold.com www.EnergizedHealth.com/Grant www.PatriotMobile.com/Grant Https://Twc.Health/Grant Use "Grant" for 10% Off See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Establishing term limits on congressional seats isn't a new idea, but that hasn't stopped another bipartisan effort to do just that from gaining traction. Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis and Former Democratic Maryland Representative David Trone discuss their plan to establish congressional term limits, responding to concerns about their proposal limiting congressmen from gaining experience. They explain why they believe it's necessary and how they plan to succeed, despite numerous past attempts to limit congressional terms having failed. Learn more about your ad choices.

EPSTEIN FILES TRANSPARENCY ACT PASSES IN HOUSE AND SENATE.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------HomeFront-Michigan: Tensions have become inflamed following demonstrations over the past few days in Dearborn. The entire affair revolves around one man, Jake Lang, who is attempting to start an "America Against Islamification" movement in Dearborn. So far several clashes have been reported between Lang's group and residents.Analyst Comment: Jake Lang doesn't live in Dearborn, he lives in New York. He's also currently running for office in Florida, and attempting to unseat Ashley Moody from her Senate seat in 2026.Indiana: More details have come to light regarding a fatal traffic accident that occurred on I-65 in Boone County over the weekend. Goderdzi Gujabidze was driving a pickup truck hauling another vehicle on a trailer when he collided with a National Guard convoy. His truck collided with one HMMWV, killing one Guardsman, and wounding the three other soldiers inside the vehicle. Gujabidze was arrested by ICE on Monday, as he is an illegal immigrant from the nation of Georgia.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: In Congress, the bill to force the release of Epstein documents passed in the House and the Senate, and is expected to become law once signed by President Trump.As a reminder, President Trump has already mandated the release of these documents several times. In the world of classified documents, the President is an Original Classification Authority (OCA) so any documents that are classified for national security purposes always have been able to be released, so Congressional involvement was unnecessary. Additionally, the Binder Incident from just a few months ago cannot be forgotten either; this entire affair was already settled and allegedly on Pam Bondi's desk months ago. Now, every politician in the country is acting like we're examining this scandal for the first time.At least now, those protecting the Epstein clients are being a bit more honest. Rep. Mike Johnson stated that when more files are released, the documents will be heavily redacted, saying that "We can't release the full Epstein files without redactions due to National Security concerns" and that they need to "make sure we don't do permanent damage to the political system" by releasing the files. This of course led to the immediate assumption being that the Epstein network presenting national security concerns means that powerful elites are indeed implicated, and the US government will protect them to prevent the government from collapsing. Or at least, that's the current narrative that is now the official position of Congress and the White House.This afternoon, AG Bondi stated that a new investigation is ongoing, which will limit the release of most of what Congress just passed. Congress cannot order a federal agency to release documents pertaining to an ongoing investigation, so an ongoing investigation has miraculously materialized. This effectively nullifies the activities of the past few days, and will make sure nothing substantial is ever released.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground//END REPORT//

A groundbreaking exploration of UFO crashes, government cover-ups, Congressional hearings, and humanity's mysterious origins, featuring shocking evidence and exclusive insights from top experts.New York Times bestselling author, Kent Heckenlively, JD, and acclaimed UFO documentary director, Michael Mazzola, collaborate to bring you the latest information on the Congressional disclosure hearings, as well as the unknown history of UFO crashes-such as the Trinity crash of 1945, just a month after the explosion of the first atomic bomb.Featuring interviews with leading figures in the UFO movement, this book delves deeply into the government's role in recovering these crafts, attempts to understand the technology, and postulates on the intentions of these beings.Much of this information will be shocking, and perhaps unbelievable to the average reader. But the book also reveals Congressional documents which lend credence to the claims of nonhuman intelligences visiting our planet. Despite allegations that these are simply birds, the planet Venus, or swamp gas, the government's multiple and continuing investigations demonstrate the lie, as well as the often hilarious secret programs they claim are responsible for such sightings.These objects have been seen by military pilots, presidents, and a United States senator, who chased a craft in his single-seat fighter jet over the Arizona desert. The authors were granted access to the extensive archive of UFO reports collected by Dr. Steven Greer, who has spearheaded the Disclosure Project for decades, and has briefed leaders in Congress, the Senate, and the intelligence community.In the final section, coauthor Michael Mazzola travels to Nazca, Peru, investigating seventeen-hundred-year-old mummies who show clear signs of genetic manipulation, raising disturbing questions of humanity's own origins.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.
