In this episode we talk to Oklahoma State Senator Julia Kirt and Oklahoma State Representative Melissa Provenzano about why it is becoming harder and harder for people to engage in politics. Join us as we talk about why people are feeling disenfranchised and divided. How can we better navigate the process, skip the noise, and be more effective in our advocacy efforts? Together, we dissect the urgency of empowering women in politics and how recent shifts like the overturning of Roe v. Wade are reshaping perceptions of governance and personal autonomy. Our dialogue traverses the landscape of political engagement, revealing the potency of personal narratives in bridging divides and the transformative impact that comes from stepping into the political arena.About Guest SpeakersSenator Julia Kirt was elected to the Oklahoma State Senate in 2018 representing District 30 in northwest Oklahoma City. She is an experienced community leader who has led statewide arts and culture nonprofit organizations for 20 years. As a mom of two, Senator Kirt knows first-hand the value of the investments we make in public education and in an economy that provides opportunity for all families. Senator Kirt currently serves as a Co-Chair for the Mental Health Caucus. Her committee work is largely focused on the state's finances and the rules by which our government operates, which allows her to work for an Oklahoma built on fairness, where each person and community has what they need to thrive.Representative Melissa Provenzano is a lifelong Tulsa area native, married mom to two and stepmom to two. Elected in 2018 to represent District 79 in Tulsa, she worked as a public school teacher and principal who grew exasperated with cutting her budget every single year until she decided to run.

She currently services as the Assistant Minority Leader for the Democratic Caucus, State Director for Women In Government (National), and co-chair of the Mental Health Caucus.  She was recently named one of Journal Record's 50 Women Making a Difference and is most proud of her work increasing access to diagnostic mammograms, student loan transparency, getting rid of the state grocery tax and separating occupational licensure renewals from tax status.If you enjoyed the episode share it with a friend and don't forget to leave us a review.

Everything seemed to go well during the 2020 Iowa Democratic caucuses — until it came time for results. Welcome back to Caucus Land.

Representative Ted Lieu, named by Time Magazine as one of the 100 most influential people in AI in 2023, joins us to discuss how the chaos in the House of Representatives is preventing progress on addressing the promises and challenges of generative Artificial Intelligence. He also shares his views on how AI might impact the workforce and elections. On the impact of deepfakes in the 2024 elections, Congressman Lieu says, “It's going to be a problem and the best counter to it is to urge everyone to not trust what they see.”  Rep. Lieu represents California's 36th Congressional District and is serving his fifth term in Congress and currently sits on the House Judiciary, Foreign Affairs, and Science, Space, and Technology Committees. He was also elected by his colleagues to serve as Vice Chair of the Democratic Caucus, making him the highest ranking Asian American to have ever served in House Leadership. He also has the distinction of being the first member of Congress to introduce legislation written by General Artificial Intelligence.  Links in this episode:  Bipartisan House members propose AI commission

Today, The Two Mike's had a quick discussion with Maxine Albert Pandemonium: China's Global Strategy to Cripple America. The book was written by Curtis Ellis, an economic nationalist, a former senior Trump adviser, and The senior policy director for America First policies, who died from cancer in early 2021, leaving the book in manuscript form. Ms. Albert shepherded the book through the publishing project and the book is now available at Amazon and Barnes and Noble. Ms. Albert is a well-known writer. She was a columnist for Elle Magazine and is now a leading public-speaking consultant. Her work also has appeared in Glamour, Cosmopolitan, and the Wall Street Journal. Pandemonium: China's Global Strategy to Cripple America, is a book meant to offer guidance to Americans about how the Chinese attacks on America can be defeated. Curtis Ellis was a strong supporter of finding ways to destroy China's anti-U.S. offensive, which, at the time he finished his manuscript, was obvious to everyone, except for those the new occupants of White House, the Democratic Caucus, the media, and military flag officers, a goodly number of whom whom look upon Beijing as their master and paymaster. In his book, Mr. Ellis explains that a "crisis with an extraordinarily ambitious China is inevitable ... [because] of its increasing aggressiveness, nuclear expansion, and escalating military build-up" Mr. Ellis stresses that all of this anti-American growth has been "paid for by America's middle class." Mr. Ellis's book is a combination of a clear reminder of how America was built on self-reliance and growing industrial power, and provides guidance on how we can return to that happy and powerful state. The book includes a China-defeating "New Declaration of Independence" that, if implemented, "will end American dependence on China and set our nation on a new course." Col. Mike says Buy a few copies give one to your Congressman and Senator. It's a must read. “Listening to Two Mikes will make you smarter!” - Gov Robert L.

The topic of this episode is, “What are the Duties of the Speaker of the House of Representatives?”My guest is Paul Ryan. Paul Ryan was the 54th Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. In office from October 2015 to January 2019, he was the youngest Speaker in nearly 150 years.Prior to becoming Speaker of the House, Paul served as the Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. He also served as Chairman of the House Budget Committee from 2011-2015. In 2012, he was selected to serve as Governor Mitt Romney's Vice-Presidential nominee. Paul was first elected to Congress at age 28 and represented Wisconsin's First District for two decades. Kevin Kosar:Welcome to Understanding Congress, a podcast about the first branch of government. Congress is a notoriously complex institution and few Americans think well of it, but Congress is essential to our republic. It's a place where our pluralistic society is supposed to work out its differences and come to agreement about what our laws should be, and that is why we are here to discuss our national legislature and to think about ways to upgrade it so it can better serve our nation. I'm your host, Kevin Kosar, and I'm a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, a think-tank in Washington DC.Speaker Ryan, welcome to the podcast.Paul Ryan:Kevin, good to be with you. Thanks for having me.Kevin Kosar:Article 1 of the US Constitution states, "The House of Representatives shall choose their Speaker and other officers." How does the House pick a Speaker these days?Paul Ryan:The way it works is the majority party in their conference—we call the Republican body the Conference, the Democrats call theirs the Caucus—will have a vote as to whom they nominate for Speaker. That's a plurality vote—the person who gets the most votes wins. Kevin McCarthy won that, which means he is to be presented to the full House on January 3rd when a new session is sworn in and he has to get—or she, in Nancy [Pelosi]'s case—has to get 218 votes. The Democratic Caucus will also vote on who they nominate to be the Speaker. If [Pelosi] stays, they'll probably nominate her. If not, I don't know, Hakeem Jeffries or somebody like that.A candidate must win a majority vote—218 votes—on the House floor when the new session is sworn in. Then that person is sworn in by the Dean of the House—the longest serving member—and that Speaker becomes the newly-installed Speaker for that new session of Congress. Then that person swears in all of Congress. That's how it gets started.Kevin Kosar:The Constitution says the House shall have a Speaker, but it doesn't provide a full job description. In the earliest days of the Republic, the Speaker's duty was to preside over the chamber—to be the guy who runs the meeting. Times sure have changed. What are the duties and responsibilities of the Speaker today?Paul Ryan:Yeah, they're endless and infinite in some ways. It is not like it was in the old days. It's a bigger Congress—there are more states than they envisioned and the government does so many more things than it used to do in the first Congresses.You're basically the chief executive officer of the legislative branch. You oversee the entire legislative branch, so technically you have something like 12,500 employees. In a way, you're like the mayor of the legislative branch, overseeing the legislative council, the law enforcement agency, the power plant, the janitors, etc. And you have deputies that run all of that—whom you appoint—such as the...

First, Jake goes one-on-one with the man on track to take over House Democratic leadership from Nancy Pelosi, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries. Jake asks Jeffries about Pelosi's impact on the party, how he would unite the moderate and progressive wings of his caucus, and his approach to working with Republicans. Next, Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger joins Jake to react to former President Trump's return to Twitter, as well as the Justice Department's appointment of a special counsel to oversee its Trump investigations. He also responds to former Vice President Mike Pence's refusal to testify before the January 6 Committee and predicts what a Kevin McCarthy-led Republican House majority would look like.After, the panel joins Jake to discuss Trump's 2024 presidential campaign launch and the prospect for a contested GOP primary. They also react to House Republicans' plans to launch wide-ranging investigations into the Biden administration as well as President Biden's family. Finally, Jake looks at the Biden administration's decision to grant legal immunity to the Saudi Crown Prince over his role in the brutal murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi and how that runs contrary to Biden's campaign pledge to hold him accountable.To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

Brad is first joined by Laura Figueroa Hernandez, White House Correspondent for Newsday. They'll discuss the differences between covering the Biden and Trump administrations, as well as gas prices rising following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Laura's Twitter handle is @Laura_Figueroa. Next, Brad is joined by Congressman Ro Khanna. The two discuss his new book, "Dignity in a Digital Age: Making Tech Work for All of Us." In the book, Rep. Khanna offers a revolutionary roadmap to facing America's digital divide, offering greater economic prosperity to all. In Khanna's vision, “just as people can move to technology, technology can move to people. People need not be compelled to move from one place to another to reap the benefits offered by technological progress” (from the foreword by Amartya Sen, Nobel Laureate in Economics). Representative Khanna sits on the House Budget, Armed Services, and Oversight and Reform committees and is first vice chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. He also serves as an Assistant Whip in the Democratic Caucus. His Twitter handle is @RepRoKhanna. Finally, Brad is joined by his Executive Producer, Mark Grimaldi. The two analyze former President Trump proposing a drastic expansion of presidential power, as well as the Koch Brothers continuing to do business in Russia, despite Putin's invasion of Ukraine. Mark Grimaldi has been a progressive political activist for the past 12 years. He volunteered for the campaigns of President Obama (2008 and 2012), Senator Bernie Sanders (2016), Secretary Hillary Clinton (2016), and President Joe Biden (2020). Mark is also involved in campaign finance reform efforts around the country, and philanthropic efforts for Cancer research. His Twitter handle is @MarkJGrimaldi.
