Tennessee's legislature isn't just partisan—it's often polarizing. Inside the House chambers, Democrats and Republicans disparage one another, at times—outside, they rarely engage. Has the proverbial political aisle been stretched too far to reach across?  It wasn't always this way. There was once camaraderie and compromise. Few understand this culture shift better than Brian Bivens. The East Tennessee native has spent the last 25 years lobbying elected officials. But Bivens bent ears long before he was in the business of bending ears. His father, Steve Bivens, served in the State House from 1978 to 1992. The Cleveland guidance counselor was the House Majority Whip at a time when Democrats ruled the roost. In this episode of Climbing the Charts, Angie Lawless and Brandon Miller sit down with Bivens to examine Tennessee's legislature—its present, past, and personalities.

Join America's Roundtable (https://americasrt.com/) radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with Chairman Doug Lamborn, Strategic Forces Subcommittee, U.S. House Committee on Armed Services discussing the policy issues impacting America's national defense and the nation's security partnership with trusted allies. Today, we are experiencing conflicts in Europe and the Middle East with rising tensions in Southeast Asia. The time-tested policy of "peace through strength" has been weakened by lack of American leadership on the world stage. The conversation also addresses the concern of America's isolationism and the principled message articulated by one of America's greatest presidents: "We in America have learned bitter lessons from two World Wars: It is better to be here ready to protect the peace, than to take blind shelter across the sea, rushing to respond only after freedom is lost. We've learned that isolationism never was and never will be an acceptable response to tyrannical governments with an expansionist intent." — President Ronald Reagan The conversation with Congressman Lamborn also focuses on the promise of a new era in the Middle East with the proposed US-Saudi Arabia Economic and Security Alliance which could transform the region and benefit both nations on the economic and trade fronts. Saudi Arabia could become a major hub for trade and tourism and a gateway to over 400 million consumers in Arab countries. Bio | Congressman Doug Lamborn In Colorado, Doug was called to public office and served in the Colorado General Assembly from 1995 to 2006, in both the State House and State Senate. During his time in the Colorado Legislature, Doug was elected Senate President Pro-Tem, served as Chairman of the Senate State Military and Veterans Affairs Committee, Chairman of the Senate Republican Caucus, and House Majority Whip. Doug was then elected to the US House of Representatives in 2006 to represent Colorado's Fifth District. Colorado's Fifth District, based in Colorado Springs, is one of our nation's most military-intensive congressional districts and the home to more than 100,000 veterans who have served our country with distinction and honor. Because of the district's military and veteran concentration, Doug serves as a high-ranking member on the House Armed Services Committee and a former member for ten years of the Veterans Affairs Committee. In these roles, he has protected important national defense funding, programs, and missions and has fought hard for the right of veterans to receive the healthcare they have earned. Additionally, the Congressman has worked since his first day in office to bring about a dignified and fitting National Veterans Cemetery to the Pikes Peak Region, which is now completed. Additionally, Doug currently serves as the Chairman of the Strategic Forces Subcommittee of the House Armed Services Committee. The Strategic Forces Subcommittee has jurisdiction over Department of Defense and Department of Energy policy related to strategic deterrence, strategic stability, nuclear weapons, strategic and nuclear arms control, nonproliferation, nuclear safety, missile defense, and space; Department of Defense programs and accounts related to nuclear weapons, strategic missiles, nuclear command and control systems, Department of Defense intelligence space, space systems and services of the military departments, and intermediate and long-range missile defense systems; and Department of Energy national security programs and accounts. Doug also serves on the House Natural Resources Committee and its subcommittee on National Parks, Forests, and Public Lands, and the Energy and Mineral Resources subcommittee. The Subcommittee on Federal Lands is responsible for all matters related to the National Park System, U.S. Forests, public lands, and national monuments. The Energy and Mineral Resources subcommittee oversees public resources on public lands, including offshore energy development. Throughout his time in public service, Doug has been a leader on pro-family and small business issues, a strong advocate for our veterans and our military, and a supporter of lower taxes, immigration reform, less government spending, and protection of the Second Amendment. Doug is married to Jeanie, his wife of 47 years and an accomplished artist and former teacher at the Bemis School of Art in Colorado Springs. The Lamborn's have also raised five extremely successful children. Their four sons were Eagle Scouts and, among them, have served as a doctor, in the military, as an attorney, and as a member of the film industry in Los Angeles. americasrt.com (https://americasrt.com/) https://ileaderssummit.org/ | https://jerusalemleaderssummit.com/ America's Roundtable on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/americas-roundtable/id1518878472 Twitter: @RepDLamborn @ileaderssummit @AmericasRT @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk America's Roundtable is co-hosted by Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy, co-founders of International Leaders Summit and the Jerusalem Leaders Summit.

House Republicans have been digging into the Biden family's allegedly questionable business dealings for months, and they're now taking things a step further — working towards authorizing a formal impeachment inquiry into the President to strengthen House Republicans' legal standing in court while their investigation continues. Meanwhile, George Santos became the sixth member of the House to be expelled in Congressional history, making the GOP's already slim majority in the House even smaller — leading to some concerns that Republicans in the House may have even more trouble passing their agenda. On the Rundown, House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) explains why opening an impeachment inquiry into the President is both reasonable and necessary based on the evidence revealed, and why many Republicans, including himself, voted against Santos' expulsion. He also adds why he believes House Republicans still have the power to band together and get the job done despite losing a number in their majority. With just over a month left before the Iowa caucus, former United States Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley has found herself neck-and-neck with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL). As her candidacy grows stronger, big-name donors are taking an interest. The Americans For Prosperity PAC, backed by billionaire Charles Koch, officially endorsed Haley's campaign last week. The Northeast Regional Director of Women for Nikki, Jennifer Nassour, joins the podcast to discuss Haley's recent strong polling and what her latest endorsement means for the Haley campaign. Plus, commentary from New York Post columnist and co-author of "The Canceling of the American Mind," Rikki Schlott. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

House Republicans have been digging into the Biden family's allegedly questionable business dealings for months, and they're now taking things a step further — working towards authorizing a formal impeachment inquiry into the President to strengthen House Republicans' legal standing in court while their investigation continues. Meanwhile, George Santos became the sixth member of the House to be expelled in Congressional history, making the GOP's already slim majority in the House even smaller — leading to some concerns that Republicans in the House may have even more trouble passing their agenda. On the Rundown, House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) explains why opening an impeachment inquiry into the President is both reasonable and necessary based on the evidence revealed, and why many Republicans, including himself, voted against Santos' expulsion. He also adds why he believes House Republicans still have the power to band together and get the job done despite losing a number in their majority. With just over a month left before the Iowa caucus, former United States Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley has found herself neck-and-neck with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL). As her candidacy grows stronger, big-name donors are taking an interest. The Americans For Prosperity PAC, backed by billionaire Charles Koch, officially endorsed Haley's campaign last week. The Northeast Regional Director of Women for Nikki, Jennifer Nassour, joins the podcast to discuss Haley's recent strong polling and what her latest endorsement means for the Haley campaign.

Minnesota 6th District Congressman Tom Emmer held the nomination for about four hours Tuesday before he withdrew his name. He learned that it would not be possible to win over far-right Republicans, especially after former President Donald Trump blasted him on social media.The Minnesota Representative has kept his own public comments to social media — he has not spoken about the defeat, but posted in support of Johnson Wednesday morning. After all this, Emmer remains in a leadership position, he's the House Majority Whip. But how much power does he have now? Kathryn Pearson, an associate professor of Political Science at the University of Minnesota and an expert on congressional politics joined MPR News host Cathy Wurzer to explain the situation.

Steve Scalise, Jim Jordan, and Tom Emmer.For those unfamiliar, the typical process for the party holding the majority in the House is to nominate one (1) speaker-designate, who is then promptly voted in, takes the gavel, and pursues some sort of legislative agenda. There's usually not much, if any, suspense. Sometimes, a sitting Speaker may be challenged within their party before the start of a new congress, but after that, by the time the process gets to the House floor, there are no surprises.Which is all to say that this year has been completely bonkers, and the past month, in particular, has been especially embarrassing for House Republicans. In the midst of several international crises (Ukraine, Israel-Gaza, Taiwan), yet another looming budget showdown in a few weeks, and numerous other problems to address, the House GOP has been steadfastly aloof and incompetent over this speaker mess.Why is this so important? Because it's unclear if legislation can be passed by the chamber without a Speaker who has been voted into that position. The unelected Speaker pro tempore—Rep. Patrick McHenry—may not have constitutional power to do so, and moreover, McHenry has flat-out refused to test that theory.For a while there, a plan was floated for the bulk of the Republican majority to partner with Democrats and temporarily “elect” McHenry for a short period in order to pass critical legislation—similar to how a continuing resolution kicks the can down the road in a budget fight—but that got scrapped.Also: the Speaker of the House is second-in-line to the presidency, just after the Vice President, and this vacancy presents a wee bit of a constitutional crisis on that front, too.Anyway, only Jordan wound up getting a vote on the House floor (three failed ballot attempts, in fact) because Scalise had the good sense to avoid embarrassment and Emmer was essentially pushed out early yesterday evening, a mere 4 hours and 10 minutes after he won the conference vote.Finally, much later in the evening, Mike Johnson, a four-termer representing Louisiana's 4th congressional district and currently serving as the Vice Chair of the House Republican Conference, was named speaker-designate after three ballots in the party conference. More on him in a second, but how the hell did we get here? A quick timeline:January: After the GOP regained power in the House, Kevin McCarthy won the conference vote to become speaker-designate but then struggled through a jaw-dropping 15 separate ballots to finally get the gavel. In exchange for the title, he bargained away much of his power to extremists within his party conference, including the unprecedented implementation of a rule that would allow any single member to file a motion-to-vacate the chair, or in other words: it would only take one person to ask for a vote to fire McCarthy from the position.Oct. 2: Matt Gaetz takes advantage of McCarthy's earlier concession and files a motion-to-vacate.Oct. 3: McCarthy is removed before a vote of the full House, 216-210. Gaetz and his cronies within the GOP joined Democrats in voting to fire McCarthy. Dems gave McCarthy several options to keep the gavel and avoid this, but McCarthy refused to play ball. Oct. 4: Jordan and Scalise announce their bids for speaker-designate. Rep. Troy Nehls announces he'll nominate Trump for Speaker, which creates fairly considerable buzz that it may happen.Oct. 5: Trump endorses Jordan.Oct. 11: In a private vote by the GOP House Conference, Scalise defeats Jordan, 113-99, to become speaker-designate.Oct. 12: Scalise withdraws when it's clear he doesn't have the votes to overcome his detractors within the GOP.Oct. 13: Jordan defeats Austin Scott, 124-81, in another private vote by the GOP House Conference, becoming the second speaker-designate this month.Oct. 17: Jordan loses on the first ballot before the full House. He needed 217 to get the gavel. He could only muster 200 votes. That means 17 GOP colleagues voted against him. Oct. 18: Jordan loses on the second ballot, becoming the first speaker-designate to fail to reach 200 votes before the full House. Desperate, Jordan and his allies allegedly threatened a number of his colleagues, attempting to bludgeon them into his corner. This completely backfires, and Jordan makes up no ground.Oct. 19: More stories about Jordan's aggressive—possibly illegal—tactics come to light, and his candidacy is widely assumed to be dead. This does not make him drop out, however.Oct. 20: Jordan holds a bizarre press conference that morning in which he quotes the Bible and says he'll prevail. Literally moments after the presser begins, one of Jordan's allies, Rep. Derrick Van Orden, announces that he's in Israel (!!!). Jordan can only lose four GOP votes. Not a great sign! He proceeds to be further humiliated, losing his third consecutive ballot for Speaker. Later that day, Jordan is removed as speaker-designate in a private conference vote, 112-86.Oct. 20-22: A candidate forum is scheduled for the 23rd and nine candidates file before the deadline to be considered for speaker-designate.Oct. 23: Following the candidate forum, two candidates withdrew (Dan Meuser and Gary Palmer), leaving seven candidate vying for the big chair.Oct. 24 (yesterday): After five rounds in their private conference vote, Tom Emmer of Minnesota, House Majority Whip (3rd-ranking House Republican), emerges as the speaker-designate. Emmer is a controversial choice for House Republicans because he voted to certify the 2020 election results (gasp) and supported the Respect for Marriage Act. He is seen as more moderate than his opponents, yet Matt Gaetz inexplicably supports him and whips votes in his favor, which kinda implied Trump supported him, too. Here's where things get even more chaotic…Just past noon, Emmer won the vote and almost immediately called for a roll call within the conference to determine if he had enough support to go to the floor. There were reportedly 26 GOP holdouts. Remember: he could only lose four. Not good. But Emmer does have Gaetz and several other Freedom Caucus folks in his corner. So, maybe there's a path.At 1:11pm, Donald Trump, while sitting in court listening to Michael Cohen testify against him, posts on his platform Truth Social that Emmer is a “RINO” (Republican In Name Only) who shouldn't be Speaker. Ruh-roh.This causes a hell of a stir within the GOP conference, and Emmer is making no gains in bringing holdouts into the fold. The conference adjourns until 4pm to figure things out.Just past 2pm, Gaetz, who just voted for Emmer and quietly worked to get him over the threshold within the conference, is asked by CNN's Olivia Beavers about Trump's post on Truth Social and responds that it's really important to listen to “the leader of our party.” RUH-ROH. Also: WHAT?!In that moment, Emmer's candidacy is basically dead, and everyone is just working to figure out what happens next before House Republicans reconvene.Just after 4pm, the GOP conference gathers again, and Emmer drops out. He then promptly leaves the conference in a huff, even while his colleagues stay to figure out where to go from there. Reportedly, Rep. Rick Allen told Emmer in front of all their GOP colleagues that he needs to “get right with Jesus” due to his support last year for the Respect for Marriage Act, the new law that grants federal recognition to same-sex marriages. Anyone still believe these people aren't trying to overturn Obergefell?At 6pm, the GOP conference reconvenes yet again, and after three ballots, Johnson wins the vote over Byron Donalds, 128-29. They then do a roll call vote to determine if he'll have the support for a full floor vote; he gets 199 votes, with three members voting “present” and a few dozen members not voting. (Once again: he can only lose four GOP votes.)There will supposedly be a speaker vote before the full house today.Okay, so, that leads to two questions: 1) Who is this Mike Johnson guy? and 2) Does he have the votes?Mike Johnson is far-right. He's a steadfast supporter of Trump, notably serving as a member of his legal defense team during both impeachment trials in the Senate. He supported the Muslim travel ban, he opposes military aid to Ukraine, he's aggressively anti-LGBTQ and anti-choice — he's basically a Putin-sympathetic Christo-fascist.But it's really not clear that he has the votes. Because Johnson has flown under the radar, America really doesn't know him or his political positions yet. It's quite a roll of the dice for Republicans in Biden districts: do they take a chance on this guy now and hope he doesn't hurt their reelection chances next year? Pretty damn risky call.Here's where Johnson is dangerous: he's made few enemies among his colleagues, and he appears to be disciplined in presentation, a far cry from Jordan's toddler antics. This could be enough to get him to 217, but again: he can only lose four GOP votes, and with his extremist positions, it's asking a lot for his more moderate colleagues to take one for the team.Anyway, per usual, I will be live-tweeting the speaker vote when it takes place today, god help me. And as always, if you'd like to buy me a cup of coffee for my coverage of this ongoing fiasco, I'd certainly be grateful.I will leave you with this not-so-fun fact: there are 19 male House Republicans named Michael or Mike, and there are 33 women. When asked yesterday why no Republican women have run for speaker-designate, Rep. Cathy Morris-Rodgers replied: “We're wiser.”Oh, lord.Charlotte's Web Thoughts is a reader-supported publication.

Join America's Roundtable (https://americasrt.com/) radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with U.S. Congressman Doug Lamborn, chairman, Strategic Forces Subcommittee, member, House Armed Services Committee and co-chair, The Congressional Israel Allies Caucus. The conversation focuses on the terrorist attacks carried out by Iranian-backed Hamas killing over 1,400 Israelis including 31 Americans. Over 4,500 Israelis have been wounded, and more than 200 Israeli hostages including Americans have been taken from Israel by Hamas into Gaza. Congressman Lamborn provides an update on the realities on the ground, the difficult road ahead, and the significance of the US-Israel partnership in confronting terrorism and instability in the Middle East. The discussion also focuses on Iran, the state sponsor of terrorism, and how the rogue nation's ambition in acquiring nuclear weapons may adversely impact the region and the world. This past week, Reuters reported, “Russia said it need no longer obey U.N. Security Council restrictions on giving missile technology to its ally Iran once they expire…without saying whether it now planned to support Tehran's missile development.” The Abraham Accords are brought to the forefront as the potential Saudi Arabia - Israel normalization of relations could usher in a historic transformation in the Middle East. America's leadership is vital in advancing peace through strength. On America's Roundtable, Congressman Doug Lamborn also addresses serious concerns about the national security crisis at the US southern border. Congressman Doug Lamborn (R-CO) In Colorado, Doug Lamborn was called to public office and served in the Colorado General Assembly from 1995 to 2006, in both the State House and State Senate. During his time in the Colorado Legislature, Doug was elected Senate President Pro-Tem, served as Chairman of the Senate State Military and Veterans Affairs Committee, Chairman of the Senate Republican Caucus, and House Majority Whip. Doug Lamborn was the lead sponsor of the largest tax cut in Colorado history. Doug Lamborn was then elected to the US House of Representatives in 2006 to represent Colorado's Fifth District which is based in Colorado Springs. It is one of our nation's most military-intensive congressional districts and the home to more than 100,000 veterans who have served our country with distinction and honor. Because of the district's military and veteran concentration, Doug serves as a high-ranking member on the House Armed Services Committee, Chairman of the Strategic Forces Subcommittee and a former member for ten years of the Veterans Affairs Committee. americasrt.com (https://americasrt.com/) https://ileaderssummit.org/ | https://jerusalemleaderssummit.com/ America's Roundtable on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/americas-roundtable/id1518878472 Twitter: @RepDLamborn @ileaderssummit @AmericasRT @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk America's Roundtable is co-hosted by Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy, co-founders of International Leaders Summit and the Jerusalem Leaders Summit.

In this episode of Deep Dive, Playbook co-author Rachael Bade joins House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) and Chief Deputy Whip Guy Reschenthaler (R-Pa.) just hours before final passage of the debt ceiling bill they shepherded through the House. This is the behind the scenes story from inside the Republican whip's office of how Kevin McCarthy's leadership team convinced House Republicans to raise the debt ceiling for two years and embrace his agreement with Joe Biden, which many on the right decried as a betrayal of the base. It's a story of how Emmer and Reschenthaler pulled together a divided and fractious conference, dodging a ballooning effort to oust McCarthy from the gavel, and ultimately putting the ball back in the Democrats' court. Rachael Bade is a Playbook co-author for POLITICO. Tom Emmer is the House  Majority Whip and the representative for Minnesota's 6th district. Guy Reschenthaler is the House Republican Chief Deputy Whip and the representative for Pennsylvania's 14th district. Afra Abdullah is an associate producer for POLITICO audio. Kara Tabor is a producer for POLITICO audio.  Alex Keeney is a senior producer for POLITICO audio. Jenny Ament is the executive producer for POLITICO audio.

Representative Tom Emmer is a U.S. Representative for Minnesota, and is the serving House Majority Whip as of this year, making him one of the highest-ranking members of the U.S. House of Representatives. He has been an outspoken advocate of crypto and has rung the alarm bells as to what seems to be the politically-driven debanking of crypto in the United States of America.  ------

After the tumultuous start, the 118th Congress is in session and the House Republicans say they're ready to start working on their agenda. But because of the early drama and the intra-party fighting that occurred before finally naming Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House, there are concerns among conservatives that the GOP is too divided to get real action done and implement the change voters want. On Wednesday, House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) joined Jessica Rosenthal to discuss his expectations for the new GOP-led Congress and why he feels the new rules in place will help the country run more efficiently and more with more transparency. Rep. Emmer explained why he is confident that Republicans will be able to unite as a party and achieve goals like cutting spending and passing significant legislation. He also weighed in on what needs to get done to pass the debt limit on time. Due to time limitations, we could not include all of the conversations in our original segment.

Following a week of uncertainty over who would claim the speaker's gavel, on Monday, Speaker Kevin McCarthy and House Republicans worked together to agree on a rules package for the 118th Congress. The GOP has long complained about excessive spending bills which ratchet up the national debt, and these new rules aim to remedy this with changes to spending and enforcing transparency on what will go into a piece of legislation. First, House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) joins the podcast to explain how these new rules will usher in a more fiscally responsible Congress while maintaining strong military spending. Later, Congressman Mike Garcia (R-CA) joins to weigh in on how these changes could help curb wasteful spending packages.   Americans have been unable to escape fluctuating gas prices as of lately. When fuel prices hit record highs last year, many Republicans were quick to blame President Biden's clean energy policies. Although prices fell last month with the biggest release of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, they've since risen in the new year. Senior Market Analyst at PRICE Futures Group and FOX Business Contributor Phil Flynn joins the Rundown to discuss why he believes pain at the pump will worsen as the year progresses, the status of the Strategic Reserve, and the future of the oil market as electric vehicles become more mainstream.   Plus, commentary by Fox News Medical Contributor and author of "Panic Attack," Dr. Nicole Saphier.

The old band gets back together for this week's episode as my former partners Edward Lindsey and Robert Luskin join the show. Edward was one of my first bosses and him and Robert were very influential in my development as a lawyer. I consider both of them mentors. Edward cofounded Goodman McGuffey Lindsey Aust in 1990 and we hear the story of how that happened. In true Edward style, you will hear the role singer Meatloaf played in the decision. Edward also served 10 years as a Georgia State Representative including 3 terms as the House Majority Whip. He is now a partner in Denton's Public Policy practice and serves as the head of the Firm's Georgia State Government Affairs team. His focus is on advancing the public policy interests and objectives of clients in the transportation, infrastructure, health care and education sectors. Robert started at Goodman McGuffey in 2000 and remained there until earlier this year when he took a job as a partner in the national trial firm of Chartwell where he defends corporations in various complex litigation matters including product liability, premises liability, professional negligence, questionable insurance claims and employment related matters. We reminisce about our days working together at GMLJ and how we approached defending our cases, marketing to corporate clients and managing a team of lawyers. We discuss the “right way” to practice law, try cases and to become recognized as a “lawyer's lawyer”. Finally, we talk about the importance of building a firm with a family feel. Of course we tell war stories about some of our favorite times and cases. Edward talks about his career in politics and serving in the Georgia House.

Robbie's Rundown gets the program started with the five things you need to know to start your day (besides Trump's announcement) including rockets flying into Poland, flying into outer space and one local politician rocketing to the seat of House Majority Whip in Congress.

McCarthy, the House GOP leader, was running for Speaker of the House while attempting to create a red tsunami, but it never materialized. In a GOP-led Congress, NRCC Chair Tom Emmer was attempting to establish himself as the House Majority Whip. However, he and the committee he oversaw merely managed to secure enough seats to put someone in charge of the party. The national GOP political machine is also inextricably linked to the former president, who, prior to the election, disseminated a letter exaggerating the number of rallies, candidate endorsements, funding totals, and primary victories for which he claimed responsibility.
