This week, the Trump administration oversaw a federal funding fiasco. The Office of Management and Budget issued a memo attacking DEI programs and putting trillions in government funding at risk. States sued, and the administration backtracked —rescinding the memo but keeping the underlying order intact. As this unfolds, we ask: How much power does Trump's administration actually have to withhold funding? Matt Glassman, senior fellow at the Government Affairs Institute at Georgetown University, joins the podcast to discuss impoundment, executive power and the legal battles ahead.

Donald Trump wins the Republican presidential nomination -- two days after surviving an assassination attempt. He's picked Ohio Senator JD Vance as his running mate, all this deflecting debate away from President Biden's fitness to run. So, where do both campaigns stand now?  In this episode: Laura Blessing, a Senior Fellow at the Government Affairs Institute at Georgetown University. Michael Traugott, Research Professor Emeritus at the Center of Political Studies at the University of Michigan. Eric Ham, US Political Expert and Former Congressional Staffer.

In this week's episode of Politics In Question, Matt Glassman joins Lee and James to discuss the right way to do politics. Glassman is a senior fellow at the Government Affairs Institute at Georgetown University. Before that, he worked on congressional operations, separation of powers, appropriations process, agency design, and congressional history at the Congressional Research Service. He also served as professional staff on the Legislative Branch Subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee.How do you do politics? What is the right way to do politics? Is there one right way? Does it vary between the White House and Congress? These are some of the questions Matt, Lee, and James ask in this week's episode.

The topic of this episode is, What is the State of the Union Address, and Why Does Congress Host It?Once per year, the President of the United States comes to the U.S. Capitol to deliver a speech known as the State of the Union Address. Usually this happens in late January or early February, but it has occurred as late as March 1.Both members of the House of Representatives and Senators assemble for this speech, along with nearly all members of the president's cabinet. Justices of the Supreme Court also are there, as are some other individuals. In modern times it has become quite a spectacle—with television cameras beaming the event to millions of homes.To discuss this grand affair, I have with me Matt Glassman. He is a senior fellow at the Government Affairs Institute, where he studies Congress. Prior to joining the Institute, Matt worked with me at the Congressional Research Service for ten years. There he wrote about congressional operations, separation of powers, appropriations, judicial administration, agency design, and congressional history.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 D.C.Matt, welcome to the podcast.Matt Glassman:Thanks for having me.Kevin Kosar:Let's start with the why. Why does Congress host a state of the union address? Does the U.S. Constitution require it?Matt Glassman:The Constitution doesn't require, per se, the State of the Union Address as we know it now, but Article 2, Section 3 does sort of contemplate the idea of a State of the Union message. It says the president “shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient.”So this idea of the president reporting back to Congress on what's going on in the administration and what he would like to see happen in the legislature is contemplated in the Constitution. So, yes, it is there. It's not required to happen every year; it says from time to time. That's been interpreted as annually, but we don't have a State of the Union message every year.Sometimes presidents don't do it in their last year in office. Sometimes presidents don't do it right after they're inaugurated—they just deliver a different message to Congress. But the idea is rooted in the Constitution and in Anglo-American tradition. It was very traditional for the monarchy to go speak to Parliament as it opened in English history as well.Kevin Kosar:So it's discretionary, which means Congress could—if it chooses—refuse to hold a State of the Union address. One could imagine— in these high partisanship times—a House with a Democratic majority that might have refused to allow President Trump

When it comes to initiatives from the United States Presidential  Administration things can become contentious. President Biden's signature initiative is the Build Back Better Plan, one in which he promised to the American people to help the middle class.Host Paul Lawrence Vann was competitively selected and was a Capitol Hill Fellow for a member of Congress, he was assigned to the U.S. House of Representatives. That's not all, Paul was enrolled in the legislative studies with the Georgetown University, Government Affairs Institute, he knows how Congress works because he worked on Capitol Hill for a year.What is the Build Back Better Plan?This framework will set the United States on course to meet its climate goals, create millions of good-paying jobs, enable more Americans to join and remain in the labor force, and grow the U.S. economy from the bottom up and the middle out.The Build Back Better Plan makes an investment in children and caregiving, this transformative plan offers universal and free preschool for all 3-4-year-olds, it represents the largest expansion of universal and free education in over 100 years. This plan makes the largest investment in child care in U.S. history, saving American families more than half of their spending on childcare.The Build Back Better plan provides the largest effort to combat climate change. This plan delivers substantial consumer rebates and tax credits to reduce costs for middle-class families shifting to clean energy and electrification.The Biden Administration's Build Back Better Plan also will provide the biggest expansion of affordable health care in a decade, it reduces prescription drug costs. The Plan also strengthens the Affordable Care Act and reduces premiums for nine million Americans.The Build Back Better Plan's most significant effort is to bring down costs and strengthen the middle class. It will make the single largest and most comprehensive investment in affordable housing in history and extend the expanded earned income tax credit for around 17 million low-income wage workers.The Build Back Better Plan is fully paid for: Combined with savings from repealing the Trump Administration's rebate rule, the plan is fully paid for by asking more from the very largest corporations and the wealthiest Americans. The 2017 tax cut delivered a windfall to them, and this would help reverse that—and invest in the country's future. No one making under $400,000 will pay a penny more in taxes.In the end, there is a likelihood the Build Back Better Plan will be brought to the floor of the Senate for a vote in January. I believe President Biden's signature initiative will be passed and it will help the American people and our economy as a whole. Keep your eye out for this in early 2022 and call your member of Congress to get them to support the Build Back Better Plan.Tune in and listen to up to 168 episodes of Wealth Academy Podcast at https://bit.ly/3n84XSF      

Will Congress pass Biden's $3.5 trillion reconciliation package? Is there hope for criminal justice or immigration reform, or will the Senate filibuster block the rest of Biden's agenda? And can Biden play a role in uniting Democrats on a path forward, even as the impending legislation highlights deep divisions within the party? In this special conversational edition of the Science of Politics podcast, Matt Grossmann and Matt Glassman (Senior Fellow at the Government Affairs Institute at Georgetown University) discuss the status of the Biden agenda in Congress. They talk reconciliation, infrastructure, and spending, tying it into congressional procedure and how the agenda might progress or be derailed over the next few months as tensions between moderate and progressive Democrats come to a head and fiscal crises loom.

What will be Donald Trump's lasting effects on American politics? Three conventional wisdoms have arisen in response to that question. In one view, Trump was an aberration, and his imprint will fade as President Biden reverses his executive actions and his sad attempts to remain relevant in retirement prove futile. A second view sees Trump as transformative, insisting his unconventional campaigning and governing styles decisively reconstructed the presidency and our broader political culture. A third view asserts Trump was mostly a symptom of larger forces in American and global politics. Guests Casey Burgat and Matt Glassman join us to parse through and weigh these possibilities, and discuss why each view captures a portion of the truth. Trump's norm breaking and influence on the party system will likely be his most enduring legacy, they argue. Casey Burgat is the director of the Legislative Affairs program and an assistant professor at George Washington University's Graduate School of Political Management. And Matt Glassman is a senior fellow at Georgetown University's Government Affairs Institute. This podcast discusses themes from Casey and Matt's lead essay in the Winter 2021 issue of National Affairs, “https://nationalaffairs.com/publications/detail/politics-after-trump (Politics After Trump).”

This week, Lee and James ask special guest Matt Glassman what is unprecedented about our politics. Matt is a senior fellow at the Government Affairs Institute at Georgetown University and a co-host of the podcast, Congress, Two Beers In. Is American politics in an unprecedented era? Is the decline in civility overstated? Has politics always been rough and tumble? These are some of the question we discuss on this week’s episode.
