Send us a textWelcome to you heard it here last where we talk about news, you've already heard.Well it's finally happened. I don't want to talk about it. I said you can't make me talk about it. But I guess when I started down this podcast road it kinda became my job to talk about it. So here we go.Tariffs.https://www.enworld.org/threads/do-tariffs-apply-to-rpg-books-maybe-maybe-not.712908/EN World posted an article titled Do Tariffs apply to RPG Books? Maybe, Maybe Not.The article discusses an official exemption list which declares that "printed books, brochures, leaflets and similar printed matter in single sheets, whether or not folded" and "printed books, brochures, leaflets and similar printed matter, other than in single sheets" are exempt from Tariffs.This of course made people excited.But then the other shoe dropped.US Customs and Border Protection, in November 1989 said“In our opinion, heading 9504 provides the more specific description of the merchandise in issue. The modules enhance fantasy game play; they were not designed for passive reading.”There are additions to this statement that basically define that rulebooks used for TTRPGs are not books, but games and therefore subject to Tariffs.The rulings are 35 years old and have everyone confused. Many companies are looking for clarification and hoping that their may be more rulings on what is subject to Tariffs, specifically the 145% Tariffs regarding China.To make this even more confusing I give you the landmark decision on June 28, 2024, In which the Supreme Court overruled the 40-year-old precedent of Chevron deference, which required courts to defer to agency interpretations of ambiguous statutes.In laymans terms the Supreme Court said that only the Legislative Branch of the Federal Government can make Federal Law. And only the President can issue and executive order. Laws cannot be made by agencies within the federal government.In other words, the ultimate decision regarding TTRPG tariffs doesn't lie with the US Customs, but with the President and the United States Congress.The article ends with an excellent statement and what I believe is the key to all of this. “Whatever the tariffs, what is necessary for trade is stability.”It's kinda hard to plan for the future when the future changes everyday.And now for something completely different (I hope I don't get sued for that)https://www.belloflostsouls.net/2025/05/rpg-travellers-new-campaign-the-singularity-evokes-sci-fi-grandeur-on-kickstarter-now.htmlhttps://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jtas3/traveller-rpg-the-singularity-campaign?ref=discovery&term=Traveller&total_hits=85815&category_id=34Traveller, the Sci-Fi roleplaying game currently published by Mongoose Publishing has just launched a Kickstarter for their new massive campaign “singularity”. It's been a minute since we have had one of these huge, multibook campaigns for Traveller and this one looks to be pretty cool. The RPG will take you to the Throneworld of the 3rd Emperium, let you peruse the archives of Reference, chart the Sylean Main. And, put charted space in your wake.I only hope it's organized better then Pirates of Drinax.
This conversation provides a comprehensive overview of constitutional law, focusing on the separation of powers, checks and balances, and landmark Supreme Court cases. It emphasizes the importance of understanding these principles for law students and highlights ongoing debates regarding executive power and the role of the judiciary.This conversation serves as the first lecture in a series on Constitutional Law, specifically focusing on the structure of the U.S. government. It introduces the fundamental principles of the Constitution, including its historical context and the concept of Constitutional Law. The lecture then outlines the three branches of government—Legislative, Executive, and Judicial—as defined by the Constitution. A key focus is the doctrine of separation of powers and the interconnected system of checks and balances designed to prevent any single branch from becoming too powerful. Finally, the lecture discusses landmark Supreme Court cases that have interpreted and shaped our understanding of these structural principles.TakeawaysConstitutional Law is primarily derived from the United States Constitution. Its fundamental role is to govern the relationships between the branches of government, between the federal government and the states, and between the government and individuals.The U.S. Constitution was drafted in 1787 and ratified in 1788, taking effect in 1789. It replaced the Articles of Confederation.The Preamble outlines the foundational purposes and guiding values of the Constitution, such as forming a more perfect union, establishing justice, and securing the blessings of liberty.The doctrine of separation of powers refers to the division of governmental functions into three distinct branches: the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial branches.The two chambers of the U.S. Congress are the House of Representatives and the Senate. Article One of the Constitution governs the Legislative Branch.The Necessary and Proper Clause gives Congress the authority to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution its enumerated powers. This clause has been a source of debate regarding the scope of federal legislative authority.Key powers of the President include serving as Commander-in-Chief, making treaties with Senate consent, appointing federal officers and judges, and ensuring that the laws are faithfully executed.Congress can override a President's veto power by a two-thirds vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.The principle of judicial review was established in Marbury v. Madison. It means that the Supreme Court has the power to interpret the Constitution and federal law and to invalidate laws or executive actions that are inconsistent with the Constitution.The Supreme Court struck down the legislative veto in INS v. Chadha because it violated the separation of powers by circumventing the constitutional requirements for legislative action, specifically bicameralism (passage by both houses) and presentment (submission to the President).The Constitution sets up three distinct branches: legislative, executive, and judicial.These branches interact through a system of checks and balances to prevent any one branch from dominating.Landmark cases like Marbury, Youngstown, Chadha, Clinton, and Mistretta illustrate how these principles work in practice.The system is dynamic, with ongoing debates about the balance of power, especially regarding executive authority.Understanding these concepts is fundamental for legal analysis in any area of law involving government.The separation of powers framework is designed to prevent tyranny but can lead to gridlock.The judiciary's role in interpreting laws can lead to debates about judicial activism versus restraint.The administrative state raises questions about accountability and the delegation of power.The balance of power has shifted towards the executive branch over time, raising concerns.
This lecture explores the foundational framework of the United States Constitution, focusing on the separation of powers among the legislative, executive, and judicial branches. It discusses the key powers and functions of each branch, the system of checks and balances, landmark Supreme Court cases, and contemporary debates surrounding the constitutional framework.TakeawaysConstitutional law is derived from the United States Constitution.The Constitution serves as the supreme law of the land.The separation of powers divides government functions into three branches.Each branch operates independently but is interconnected through checks and balances.Congress is the legislative branch closest to the people.The President has significant powers, including veto authority.The judiciary interprets the Constitution and federal law.Judicial review is a key principle established by Marbury v.

Our Dakota Political Junkies look at how the national news is scrutinizing Leader John Thune's leadership style. Plus, where do deportees go when they can't go home?
With a Republican Congress apparently unwilling to check Trump's power, many Americans fear a looming constitutional crisis and are looking to the federal courts to ride to the rescue. But political scientist and Harvard Kennedy School Professor Maya Sen, who studies the federal judiciary, says the cavalry probably isn't coming. The Trump administration has seemingly defied judicial orders on deportations, withholding congressionally appropriated funds for federal programs, eliminating birthright citizenship, and other issues. Meanwhile, surrogates like Vice President J.D. Vance and billionaire Elon Musk have stated in social media posts that Trump is simply not bound by judicial decisions and can do pretty much whatever he pleases. Trump has even joined with some of his political supporters calling for impeachment of judges who rule against him, prompting Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts to respond and call Trump's statement “inappropriate.” With the legislative branch of government sitting on the sidelines and without a credible threat of impeachment, Sen says the judiciary is no match for an authoritarian executive in terms of speed of action and political muscle—and was never intended to be. And even if it had been, structural issues with the way decisions are made and how judges are chosen give conservatives an advantage, and have resulted in a Supreme Court that is largely out of step with public opinion. Sen talks with PolicyCast host Ralph Ranalli about what can be done to restore both the separation of powers and the balance of power in the U.S. government during this unprecedented pivotal moment in American history.Maya Sen's Policy Recommendations:Pass a constitutional amendment to end lifetime appointments and limit terms for federal judges, including Supreme Court justices, to 18 years to help depoliticize the process of judicial selection.Exert public and electoral pressure on Congress and political leaders to defend the legislative branch's constitutional prerogatives and to stop ceding power to the executive branch.Episode Notes:Maya Sen is a political scientist whose interests include law, political economy, race and ethnic politics, and statistical methods. She has testified before Congress and presidential commissions on issues pertaining to the federal courts, and her research has been published in numerous academic journals including the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the American Political Science Review, the American Journal of Political Science, and The Journal of Politics. . Her writings also include the books “The Judicial Tug of War: How Lawyers, Politicians, and Ideological Incentives Shape the American Judiciary,” and “Deep Roots: How Slavery Still Shapes Southern Politics,” which won the 2019 William H. Riker Book Award for best book published in political economy. She is currently working on a book on the relationship between the Supreme Court and public opinion. Professor Sen earned a PhD from the Department of Government at Harvard University in 2012 and holds an AM in Statistics and an AB in Economics, both from Harvard University, as well as a JD from Stanford Law School.Ralph Ranalli of the HKS Office of Communications and Public Affairs is the host, producer, and editor of HKS PolicyCast.

The ERLC's presence in our nation's capital allows us to speak up, for, and from our Southern Baptist churches before various audiences. In our previous episodes, we've covered the executive and judicial branches, demonstrating the need for Christians' involvement in the various facets of our government because policies have real-world effects on all of us. Today, our focus turns to the legislative branch.To help us better understand the legislative branch and why our involvement matters is David Closson. David serves as the director of the Center for Biblical Worldview at Family Research Council. He researches and writes on life, human sexuality, religious liberty, and related issues from a biblical worldview. David is a Ph.D. candidate in Christian Ethics at Southwestern Seminary.

David lives in the Washington, D.C. area and is a member of Capitol Hill Baptist Church.
One of the bills that the Utah legislature is considering would tell the judicial branch of the government in Utah how to do their jobs. Specifically, it would affect their key power to decide whether or not laws are unconstitutional. Is this allegiant to the checks and balances that hold our democracy together? KSL Newsradio's Amanda Dickson asked her guests about this on A Woman's View. Her guests today include Dr. Holly Richardson, Utah Policy Editor and Deseret News columnist, Dr. DeLaina Tonks, Executive Director of Mountain Heights Academy, and Cassie Bingham, Director of the Center for Social Impact at Utah Valley University.

He was a humanitarian who spoke to internal harmony and coexistence between nations as well as, most importantly, the importance of the perseveration of the project of self government. Despite making many speeches, we remember President Lincoln as being a man of action; a figure who was pivotal in our understanding of the American republic's struggle to become more inclusive politically and economically. There were many prominent black intellectuals and abolitionists from 1768-1861 who were not just spiritually inspired and motivated to end slavery, but also to live up the the aspirations of the constitution. Many of the prominent black women of this period set the foundational ideas for black feminist thought that future intellectuals would engage with. The men on the other hand would set the fundamental ideas of black nationalism that such figures as Marcus Garvey and Malcolm X would bring to the forefront of their discourse. As a whole, most of these figures were not asking for a revolution and respected private property, they merely wanted a seat at the table. Those more disappointed with America's hypocrisy spoke of the need to return to Africa such as Martin Delany who advocated "Africa for Africans." The repercussions of the more dominant integrationist perspective over black nationalism would influence future leaders, at least for the beginning of their life, like Dr. King and Booker T. Washington to dominate the public discourse in favor of education and hard work as the vehicle for advancement vs more radical political and economic redistribution.However, many of these figures would shift their paradigm as time went on not just to demand political equality, but more economic opportunity for those generationally disadvantaged.In the next podcast episode, we see some of these tensions such as W.E.B. Du Bois perspective for a radical contract of political, economic, health, education, the end of Jim Crow Segregation, and more through the Declaration of the Niagara Movement vs. Booker T. Washington's advocacy for self-help, business development, and racial accommodation while ignoring political advancement.Black History Month February Coming up: The five part podcast on Let Nobody Turn Us Around: An African American Anthology1.

It's happening right before our eyes. And none of it should be surprising. Trump is indeed acting like a dictator, the wealthiest man on the planet, not elected by anyone, has declared war on federal civil servants, and Congress, charged in the Constitution with keeping a check on the presidency, has willingly abdicated that authority. It is by definition a Constitutional crisis. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Join Jay Scott as he uncovers the Anti-Federalist group that stood against George Washington, the Federalist, and the Constitution in the 1780's! Natural Freedom, Equal Treatment, Right to Bear Arms, Accountability, and Limits to Power were some of the key points the Anti-Federalist group rallied for. They saw similarities of an Aristocracy rule in the first Constitution. VERY DANGEROUS! Also important, no clear declarations of individual human rights were written.

Today, we commemorate Constitution Day, recognized annually on September 17. In the first segment, we hear from Chief Justice Paul Newby who shares about the important principles contained in America's founding documents. After that, we travel to the Historic 1767 Chowan County Courthouse to visit with Charles Boyette, who serves as a Historic Interpreter for the NC Department of Natural and Cultural Resources' Historic Edenton State Historic Site. Boyette explains what NC courts were like during America's founding era, and identifies the historical figures who frequented that courthouse then went on to contribute to America's founding documents: Joseph Hewes, signer of the Declaration of Independence; James Iredell, an original member of the US Supreme Court; and Hugh Williamson, signer of the US Constitution."We are so grateful for the foundational structure of our constitution that takes governmental power and divides it up among the three branches," said Newby on the podcast. "What are those branches? We have the Legislative Branch, the Executive Branch, then we have the Judicial Branch whose charge is to do justice for all."Constitution Day is a federal observance that recognizes the adoption of the US Constitution. It is observed on September 17, the day in 1787 that delegates to the Constitutional Convention signed the document in Philadelphia.
Are we focusing on the wrong government power. The President is just a influence. Why are we not focusing on these two branches instead of your president...Legislative Branch**—that's Congress, folks. They make the laws, decide on our taxes, and have the power to declare war. Every time you see the price of something go up, or when new laws come into effect, that's Congress at work. They're the ones passing budgets and deciding where your tax money goes. Judicial Branch**, led by the Supreme Court. These are the folks who interpret the laws and decide whether something is constitutional or not. Their rulings can change the course of history. Remember key decisions on civil fix rights, healthcare, and freedom of speech? That's the Judicial Branch. Their decisions have long-lasting effects that ripple through our society.Support the show
House and Senate are back in town — nominations in the Senate and several important bills in the House, including the SAVE Act to ensure noncitizens don't vote in federal elections; the Legislative Branch appropriations bills for FY 2025; and, maybe, a vote to fine Attorney General Merrick Garland $10,000 per day if he doesn't turn over the audio recording of Special Counsel Robert Hur's interview of President Biden … speaking of Biden, his campaign crisis enters its second week — how's he faring? Will he stay, or will he go? … All this and more.
The House takes up the Legislative Branch spending bill. More appropriations markups are happening in both houses this week. And Democrats face questions about the president. David Higgins has your CQ Morning Briefing for Monday, July 8, 2024.
Today's show open's with my disappointment over how the GOP questioned Dr. Fauci in Congress. While there was plenty of grand-standing and red meat, there wasn't anything substantive or productive to be gained. I wished they had taken my suggestion of following the money and then expand from there. Remember, this hearing was on the House side. Senator Rand Paul, who is not going to let go of the Fauci bone, cannot wait to get him in for questioning on the Senate side of the Legislative Branch. I would have definitely reminded the audience about the Emergency Use Authorization, the fact Fauci knew about using Hydroxychloroquine, but knew they couldn't make royalties if they used old and time-tested medicines. Additionally, two news stories should have been brought to bear. An Oxford report showed that there was no benefit for children to get the COVID-19 vaccine, but there was definite harm in taking it. On top of that, a group of scientists from the Netherlands analyzed data from 47 Western countries and discovered there had been more than three million excess deaths since 2020, with the trend continuing despite the rollout of vaccines and containment measures. Onto the Hunter Biden case. It's the backside of the same lawfare coin. The jury is stacked to get an acquittal. It's by design. We are watching professional wrestling on a grand scale. Today on the Hill, AG Merrick Garland was testifying before the House Judiciary Committee. Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) conducted a master class on how to question a witness. It's obvious, by the end, that Garland knows the DOJ has been coordinating the lawfare against Trump, but cannot admit it publicly. On the Piers Morgan Show, a TDS suffering Leftist cannot explain why Trump committed a crime with hush-money payments, while Bill Clinton did not. Moreover, when pressed, she claims Trump broke a federal campaign law, which means it could not be heard in a state court. In breaking news, the FDIC just said that 63 lenders are on the brink of insolvency. Apparently, the banking system is getting crushed under $517 billion dollars in unrealized losses, mostly due to bad real-estate investments and the rising interest from the Fed. Finally, in a shock to the “greenies” out there, NASA has some bad news. It seems the initiatives to stop emitting particulates into the atmosphere is directly adding to warming. Isn't it ironic? The Green New Deal folks can actually be called the Green New Warming folks. Take a moment to rate and review the show and then share the episode on social media.

Pretty much a ramble. It's my last podcast from the farm. It's been a difficult 6 months, but like all Americans, we fight through the difficult times. A couple of corrections: I called the author of the "Trump Dossier" Michael Steele. That's the sellout former head of the RNC, now prominently on CNN and MSNBC. The quintessential "never Trumper". It was Christopher Steele. A Former British spy and on the payroll of the Clinton campaign in 2016. Which is highly illegal. Later I mention Article 1 of the Constitution is the Legislative Branch, but move to the Executive Branch, without noting that is Article 2. I address it a few minutes later, but listening to it, might be confusing. I recommend listening at 1.5 or 2 times the playback speed. Just saying. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/john-adams85/message

Reviewing the legislative branch for unit 3
Today's show opens with my explaining why I think the Jeffrey Epstein story is not a distraction. Maybe the way it's being presented is the distraction, but there is a much more sinister layer here that I haven't heard reflected elsewhere. While we get caught up in court transcripts, my question is, where's the black book and all the videotapes? Who's in possession of all that blackmail material and is it being employed right now? To add to this, I add a sound bite from Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) who says he not only believes some members of Congress are already being blackmailed to not release the Epstein flight logs, but also says the intelligence community has the power to edit legislation. That's a pretty scary prospect, to know that the IC in the Executive Branch is exerting control and influence over the Legislative Branch? With the aid, once again, of Techno Fog, we get even more documents released and it seems they only reinforce the notion that Epstein was out to blackmail people. The question is, was he doing it all by himself? On behalf of the U.S. government? Or was he being controlled by a different government? Next we move to a recurring Friday feature, TaraBull's top 10 news stories of the week. While going through that, we are able to mention a few of them that become much of the rest of the show, including the Legacy/mainstream media's coverage of the Iowa school shooter, now that we know he's part of the LGBTQ+ movement. Time to throw Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby under the bus. To set that up, we remind you what he said on September 13, 2023 after the Biden regime released another $6B dollars to Iran. After that, we play a bite from him yesterday when he says we don't know what Iran used the money for, even though he vowed we had total control over it and total transparency. When children get to use their magic-thinking as the basis for our foreign policy, this is what we can expect. And…it's going to get worse, not better, because they are still in charge and cannot accept their own incompetence is to blame. Then I find myself wondering which Nikki Haley are we getting on any given day? It makes me wonder if I was wrong about my thoughts on Gov. Gavin Newsom being groomed to replace Biden. What if the Military Industrial Complex doesn't care about party labels as long as the “winner” is a Uniparty warmonger? Even Gov. Kristi Noem isn't sure where Haley stands on anything nowadays. Vivek Ramaswamy once again shows us his mastery of dealing with an agenda driven media who cannot accept having their narratives destroyed. In an exchange with NBC News's Dasha Burns, masterfully destroys her attempts to “win” the interview and leaves her unhinged and shrill. Finally, in a strange turnabout, the actor Michael Rapaport said something astonishing. One of the true Trump haters, who has never said a positive thing about the 45th president, just revealed all candidates are on the table for his vote, including Donald Trump.

Separation of Powers: A Foundational Principle. 1. Defining Separation of Powers. The separation of powers is a fundamental principle of the U.S. Constitution that distributes governmental powers among the three branches to prevent the concentration of power in a single entity. Each branch has distinct functions and operates independently. Significance: Separation of powers is designed to prevent abuses of power, promote checks and balances, and ensure that no single branch becomes too dominant. Example: While the President has the power to veto legislation (executive), Congress has the authority to override that veto with a two-thirds majority vote (legislative), creating a system of checks and balances. The Executive Branch. 1. Powers and Responsibilities of the President. The executive branch, headed by the President, is responsible for implementing and enforcing laws. The President has the authority to make treaties, appoint federal judges, and serve as the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces. Significance: The executive branch plays a vital role in the day-to-day functioning of the government and has the power to shape and implement policies. Example: The President's role as Commander-in-Chief was evident in decisions related to military actions, such as the authorization of the use of force in response to acts of terrorism. The Legislative Branch. 1. Powers and Responsibilities of Congress. Congress, consisting of the Senate and the House of Representatives, is responsible for making laws. It has the power to tax, regulate commerce, declare war, and confirm presidential appointments. Significance: Congress is a key component of the checks and balances system, with the ability to pass laws, override vetoes, and control the budget. Example: The passage of major legislation, such as the Affordable Care Act, demonstrates the significant role of Congress in shaping national policy. The Judicial Branch. 1. Powers and Responsibilities of the Judiciary. The judicial branch, headed by the Supreme Court, interprets laws and ensures that they align with the Constitution. The judiciary has the power of judicial review, allowing it to declare laws or executive actions unconstitutional. Significance: The judiciary acts as a check on the other branches by interpreting the law and protecting individual rights. Example: Landmark Supreme Court cases, like Brown v Board of Education, have played a critical role in interpreting the Constitution and advancing civil rights. Interactions Among the Branches. 1. Checks and Balances in Action. The system of checks and balances ensures that no single branch becomes too powerful. Each branch has methods to check the powers of the others, preventing an imbalance of authority. Significance: Checks and balances foster cooperation and prevent abuse of power, contributing to the stability of the government. Example: The President can veto legislation passed by Congress, but Congress can override a veto with a two-thirds majority, exemplifying the balance of power. Conclusion. In this session, we explored the foundational principle of separation of powers and examined the distinct roles and powers of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches. Understanding this separation is crucial for appreciating the dynamics of the U.S. government and its commitment to preventing the concentration of power. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/support

FULL TRANSCRIPT: You're listening to the Bloomberg Sound On podcast. Catch us live weekdays at one Eastern on Bloomberg dot com, the iHeartRadio app, and the Bloomberg Business App, or listen on demand wherever you get your podcast. The White House threatens to veto the Republican Israeli Aid bill, as the CBO now says that bill will add to the nation's deficit. Welcome to the fastest show in politics, as we get a first look at the fine print in the Speaker's plan on Israel, even as the President takes his own approach, including money for Ukraine for the border. We'll be joined ahead by Bill Hoagland at the Bipartisan Policy Center with analysis from our signature panel. They're with us on this FED day. Rick Davis and Genie Shanzano weighing in as well on the latest from Washington and Israel. And Welcome to the Wednesday edition of Bloomberg Sound On. I'm Joe Matthew in Washington, where, of course it's going to be all about the FED, certainly here on Bloomberg starting in about a half hour's time, when we'll bring you our special coverage of the FED meeting. The announcement and the news conference. But we have breaking news on Israel that I want to start with today, and I'm glad you're with us here on the radio, on the satellite, and on YouTube. You can always find us on YouTube by searching Bloomberg Global News. The cameras are lit with the headline on the terminal. Biden says some Americans will depart Gaza today. We're just hearing this now from the White House, as the President says American citizens will exit Gaza today and the US expects more departures tomorrow and over the coming days. He also said save passage has been secured for wounded Palestinians and for foreign nationals to exit Gaza. And this is the type of headline that some of his critics in his own Democratic Party have been looking to see, with much more news coming out of Israel and Washington. Here, the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, is having lunch today with the Senate Republican Conference. Interesting as we turn to the matter of funding, and this is something we're going to talk about in a moment with Bill Hoagland. We brought this to you yesterday. Speaker of the House wants to split Israel funding from the rest of the supplemental package that the President has put forward, And if you listen to this show, you could probably tell us by now yourself that was going to include Ukraine, the border in Taiwan. Not so, says the speaker who's going to bring that bill to the floor tomorrow. It looks like and it is also expected to fail, so lawmakers are weighing in now. Republicans say this is a way of keeping the governments from spending too much money that we heard from the CBO when we learn it's actually going to add to the deficit. And Senator Ben Cardon of Maryland, who's now chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, says, GOP is playing games with the money. We need to keep this together because it represents the priorities that need to be done. Now, there are supplemental appropriations which were not planned for in the normal appropriation process. There's no need for offsets, and we got to get this dumb without the political parsianship we see in the House. Now that's the chair. The Republican Senator from Wyoming John Barrasso, also on that committee, says, no, this is the way it should be done, and more specifically, pay for it by defunding the IRS. I support defunding the IRS taking that money out of that as a source of payment for the money to Israel. I want to make sure Israel has what they need to fight the war they need to fight. So there you have it from both sides of the aisle. According to the Treasury Department, If that matters to you, those thousands of IRS employees will not be targeting small businesses and regular Americans. In fact, we heard from the IRS Commissionery yesterday said these offsets would end up costing ninety billion dollars in fact, because of less scrutiny on tax evasion at the highest levels of wealth. So much for armed agents knocking down your door. This is where we start with. Bill Hogan, Senior vice president of the Bipartisan Policy Center, spent many years working on Capitol Hill. Knows how the sausage is made and might be helpful here with a reality check. Bill two questions your thought number one on just putting Israel funding alone on the floor, knowing that it likely doesn't have support, but too paying for it with IRS funding, calling it an offset when it's actually going to cost more maybe you can help me rationalize this. Well, thank you for having me, Joe. Again, this is an area where we seems that Republicans like to go to, and that is reducing the IRS budget. We've been here, if you recall back in the spring, when we were dealing with the debt limit, increasing the debt limit, finding offsets. Historically, the scoring on this particular issue has always been that if you have additional money that you provide for the IRS to to carry out their responsibilities, does result in an increase in revenues collected. And so I'm an old CBO or, so I'll be a little biased here, but I think the CBO is right that if you're cutting fourteen billion dollars out of the IRS budget, then you shouldn't expect them the revenues that were anticipated to come in. So I think this is an unfortunate situation. Literally, as we speak here right now, Joe, the Senate is voting on a Center Rand Paul amendment to the Senate Appropriation Bill to reduce the IRS funding and it's going to fail. So I think we'll get over this. And as you mentioned in your comments earlier, I think the House does not have the votes to use the IRS as an offset. This is an emergency. In the past, when we've had emergencies, yes, we don't usually offset let's say disaster spending. And I think this is a critical emergency that I'd like to see it offset, but i'd like to see it offset with real spending reductions as opposed to the IRS budget. Okay, we'll see if that happens. I'm assuming that we won't get that far with this legislation, But does the Senate lead the way here then? Bill they're looking at a combined appropriations bill that would include the money for Ukraine that I know turns off a lot of House Republicans. Well, I think we're probably headed toward a situation Joe here in about two and a half weeks when we're up against another possibility of a government shutdown and the current Continuing Resolution runs out. I think all this is going to get bunched up as it relates to that next Continuing resolution around the middle of November, where we'll probably have a situation where we will have both the funding for Ukraine and I think Israel, but also most importantly, as we keep remembering that the President's request does also include about to a similar amount about fourteen billion dollars, the same amount for Israel for border security here in the United States, for new border patrol agents, new immigration judges and asylum officers and custom officers. So I think where we're headed here is a combination getting up against that deadline in November the seventeenth, when we'll see this coming to a head once again. I think, yes, I think the Senate's going to play a pretty big role here in terms of what they send over the House. I think this is going to be a major test for the new Speaker, and it could lead to here we go again. It could lead to a potential shutdown. But I hope that we can get over this and we can find a solution where we have both the funding that we need here on the domestic side of the equation or our border security, as well as some disaster response. We keep forgetting that the President not only had a request for Israel and Ukraine and border, but he also had something for about a fifty five billion dollars for disaster relief. We still have FEMA problems, we still have such issues, are sorting with the issues around the child Care Stabilization Fund. So we have a we have a lot, they have a lot to do in a very short amount of time. I want you to picture this as we understand. The Speaker of the House is attending the Senate Republican lunch today, CNN reporting, who was flanked by Senators Rick Scott and Ted budd on the way in and did not answer questions. Does this sound like a meet and greet to you or a real conversation about what you and I are talking about? Well, we always have the policy lunches, and I'm not there. I can't say exactly what's going on. But no, I think they have I think the news A lot of senators who do not know the news speaker have not have not met him. This is an opportunity at least to have an initial reaction, But I think they will get down. They'll have to get down to some substant discussions very quickly about where the Senate's headed and where the Speaker wants to go, and what they'll be able to work out between the two two chambers going forward. Once again, I have to believe this is going to come down to no surprise coming from the Bi Parson Policy Center, that you're going to have to find a solution here that includes both Democrats and Republicans. At the end of the day, that may cause again problems for the new Speaker, as it did for mister McCarthy, but this is too important of an issue not to find some quick Biparson solutions providing the aid that Israel needs, that Ukraine needs, and our borders need. We're talking with Bill Hogland at the Bipartisan Policy Center and you mentioned you mentioned the word that I might not have brought up otherwise, and that's shut down. But it's important to note what's not going to make headlines today, Bill, and that is the House Rules Committee taking up Transportation and Housing Bill, an Interior Environment spending bill, along with the supplemental budget request, and I know the Senate is taking up minibus today. There are actually professionals who should be taken seriously who are working behind the scenes to do the real work of the legislature. The question is can they get anything done in time? Do you think this new speaker makes the idea of a shot down more or less likely? Well, I think the Speaker had made it very clear and part of his mode of selection process was to agree that they would the House would pass what we call the twelve regular appropriation bills, and as you say, Joe, they have passed. They still have seven bills to do, the Outstanding and Transportation, Legislative Branch, Financial Securities, Interior, and Agriculture. They still have to do those individual bills. And that's what they're doing in the House, and I think that's what the Speaker said he would do he'd passed those bills individually. Difficulty is going to be that, of course, that's fine, but we have a United States Senate that's also trying to get its twelve bills done and it has not passed any of them yet, and that's why they're bundling their bills into three package, three packages of three, and they'll end up, i think, probably trying to try. They'll have to go to conference and work this out. This is all going to come down once again to another continuing resolution. I don't think there's any question that we're going to have to have a continuing resolution. I think the Senator has made that clear. I think even the House Speaker expects they'll have to have a continuing resolution. And the question will be will be that at as it was back on October, the first, will that be at the current level which caused mister McCarthy some problems. But I see they are working their best just to do the basic funding that they have to do for the current fiscal year that we're in, fiscal year twenty four that began here a month ago. Yeah, it's always great to spend time with you, Bill. Do you think the motion to vacate will be beefed up at all? They're going to raise the threshold on this or is it going to stay the same way it is looming over this speaker? Listen, I'm an oh Senate staffer or not a House staffer. I can't really comment on the rules of the procedures in the House that much. But I have to believe, having spent what twenty one days or so and the chaos over in the House, that they do not want to go through that again. And I think that to the extent that the new Speaker can at least get his twelve individual appropriation bills done and out of the way. He's met at first. He's got over a first hurdle here that allows him to not face the possibility of another emotion to vacate. I just don't believe they want to go through that again. And I could be wrong, but I think that they have a speaker now, they want to work with that new speaker, and we'll continue to work on this. I want of them to remain optimistic that we will get through this difficult time. There are major issues that have to be addressed here, and I hope that we can find a common ground between the House and Senator over the next at least thirty or forty days. Bill Hoaglan, Bipartisan Policy Centers, Senior Vice President, one of our next door neighbors. Almost here in downtown Washington. Great to see you, Bill as we assemble our panel today. Rick Davis and Jeanie Shanzano are back together Bloomberg Politics contributors. Ricky sounds kind of like, you don't ask me about what's going on in that crazy house. I'm a creature of the Senate. But in this case, the Senate's going to loom large over this process. And I wonder if that's why the speaker is at that GOP luncheon today. What do you think they're talking about. Yeah, look, this is a normal courtesy that would be granted to any new speaker. It doesn't have much of a footprint up on the Senate side, and obviously the things that he is doing right now today are having a prety dramatic impact on the Senate agenda. You know, even just bifurcating the supplemental bills with trying to take an independent vote on Israel is upsetting the Republican majority or the minority in the Senate. And so I think it was probably like, hey, we need to get him up here and make sure we set our agendas together. So half introduction, half agenda setting, but frankly, because of the time that we have available, probably later than it should have happened, but obviously an important meeting. When's he going to sit down in the Oval office? Jeni? You hope it is soon. You know, he just hasn't had the opportunity to meet everybody, including the president, even though he is second in line to the presidency. So there should be a meeting and there should be real conversation. You know, he's only been on the job for a week, so it is going to take some time to get up to speed. But those personal introductions are critically important, as is his staffing. You know, the man hasn't even had a chance. He's starting to staff up, but that is a huge challenge. Been a hiring spree in the last twenty four hours. We can talk about that. We just heard from him on the CBO score. That's next. This is Bloomberg. You're listening to the Bloomberg Sound on podcast. Catch the program live weekdays at one Eastern on Bloomberg Radio, the tune in app, Bloomberg dot Com, and the Bloomberg Business App. You can also listen live on Amazon Alexa from our flagship New York station. Just say Alexa, play Bloomberg. Eleven thirty. We just heard from the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, for the first time on this new CBO score on the standalone Israel funding bill. This is the one that the CBO said would add almost twenty seven billion dollars to the budget deficit, remembering that it would be paid for by taking money from the IRS. And this is where we're getting some discord here. Fourteen point three billion dollars and cuts to IRS funding that was part of the Inflation Reduction Act. Now, the White House already says that it's going to veto this thing if it reaches the President's desk, which apparently it's not because I don't know the votes in the House. The Senate doesn't like it, and the Speaker says, I guess pay no attention to the fine print. Heerio, you'd be careful, everybody careful. Were you surprised by the CBO's courser, Not surprise at all. Only in Washington, when you cut spending do they call it a are you along in? Only in Washington, when you cut spending do they call it an increase in the deficit. Let's assemble our panel for their take. Genie Schanzano and Rick Davis are with us. The math is difficult to argue with here, Rick, am I missing something? Yeah? I think the political overlay to this right American public here is that the Speaker is trying to cut funding. Maybe a little of that seeps into oh, by the way, it's the irs, and virtually none of that will go to OH. The CBO says that'll increase the deficit. I mean, like CBO doesn't have a mouthpiece like the speaker does. But then there's reality, right, Genie, that's right, And we talked about this yesterday, and so only somebody trying to play political games, and not very effectively, by the way, would try to pull the wool over people's eyes and pretend that they didn't realize that cutting this money to the IRS would actually decrease revenue and increase the deficit. It is a pay for it that doesn't pay for anything. We do need to pay for our spending, but you have to do it in a fiscally responsible and even somebody I don't know, in maybe third grade math, can figure out that when you cut IRS enforcement, you diminish our ability to collect money that the government needs to keep funded. And so Mike Johnson should know that. I am terribly concerned if he doesn't realize that. But I think he realized it, and he's trying to play political games and the politics aside. All thinking people realize this is the reality. It doesn't take a math genius. This has nothing to do with Washington. This is to do with Mike Johnson trying to play political games. Fiscally responsible people don't do this. Just look at Tom Massey, a very conservative guy, who said this is not fiscally responsible. It will add to the deficit. Even Marjorie Taylor Green said the same thing. So you know, he's got to go back to the table on this. Let's find some real cuts for the new speaker so he can move ahead. We know we're in trouble when Genie is quoting Marjorie Taylor Greenrick, I don't know what you want to do with that, but I will point you to the Republican Accountability Project, Rick Davis, what do you think of It's a six figure ad campaign to shame Speaker Johnson over his efforts to overturn the twenty twenty election. This is another part of, of course, the narrative in his first full week on the job, that we're hearing a lot more about the amicus brief that he wrote that would have brought from the state of Texas these results to the Supreme Court. Here's just a taste of this ad. It's gonna be running in primetime on Fox News. Republican Mike Johnson just became Speaker of the House, but he's the last person who should be leading Congress. After Donald Trump lost the elections, Johnson started pushing Trump's big lie, pressuring the Supreme Court to overturn the will of voters in four states and if they go on to call him a danger to our democracy. Rick, I could keep this thing running, but I'm sure we'll all begin and dated by the ad. If we're watching cable news, who's this resonating with? You mentioned the lack of a megaphone at the CBO. Will this get into the right living rooms? Will it make it? Then? I don't get into some I mean they've obviously targeted the right states, you know, Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin. I mean, that's where the fight's going to be for a presidential election. And by the way, all of a sudden, we have a new speaker who nobody's ever heard of, which means they don't hate him yet. You know, voters hated Nancy Pelosi, voters hated you know McCarthy. Voters hate our leaders because they have to go through all this kind of negative campaign advertising. And here's this guy Johnson no one has ever heard of. They haven't learned to hate him yet. So this is step one and teaching people to hate, you know, Speaker Johnson. It's critically critically important that the Democrats are able to demonize Republican leadership, and Mitch McConnell's kind of hard to argue with he's doing a lot of business with Democrats these days, so they're gonna have to find someone to be the target. Johnson's time in the barrel is now his time in the barrel? Genie. How long is it going to last? You know, I think it will, it will last. I have long thought that it's really really tough to demonize the new speaker because his personality doesn't really play with that. You know, it was far easier for the Republicans to demonize Nancy Pelosi than it's going to be to demonize somebody like Mike Johnson. His personality is, quite frankly, a lot more like somebody like our former president, a former vice president, rather Mike Pence. And I think that's going to make it tough now or is he going to go through vetting? Are people going to look back at what he's done? All of that is fair game. All of the things that he has said, he hasn't been vetted as most speakers would be, and so a lot of this is new. But I think unless he changes his tone in a distinct way, that demon demonization is going to be hard. But I do think anybody who plays a role in trying to say the twenty twenty election was stolen. That is fair game to say, look, folks, this is who is leading this party. Do you feel safe putting your trust in this party to run the House? I think that's fair game. He's the one who led the charge quietly as he did. Well. When you go big picture, Rick, and you look at that Bloomberg poll that we've talked a lot about with Morning Consult, looking at these seven swing states that are critical, some of which will have that ad running in them, the economy ends up being the number one issue. And is this why no one seems to be dwelling on twenty twenty. Yeah, I think twenty twenty is well. The only person who's dwelling on twenty twenty is is Donald Trump. And the Democrats couldn't be happier about that. That's what they want point. But everybody else is like moving on and Democrats are using a lot of the issues to their success from twenty twenty. We see it in advertisings everywhere here in Virginia for the legislative elections that are next week. Abortion, abortion, abortion right. I mean it was Republicans are going to take away your rights, and so we know where they're headed, and Republicans are talking about the economy, so you know, money's on the economy, and that's where I think the twenty twenty four election will be prosecuted at. That's why Biden's going to Wisconsin to talk about the economy and bringing jobs to rural America, you know, trying to get some of those blue collar jobs back. So you see it playing out in real time. But I would say, you know, shoot your bullets on you know, Speaker Johnson in a presidential targeted state doesn't make much sense. If they think it's going to be Trump, they ought to be shooting at him. How about that. Rick Davis and Geenie Shan say, No, great conversation on what is truly the fastest show in politics today, because we've got a Federal Reserve announcement coming up here, and I want to thank you both for great insights. As always, our signature panel Bloomberg Politics contributors Rick Davis and Genie Shann say, No, I'm Joe Matthew in Washington, where tomorrow it's going to be inflation, inflation inflation, right.

In part 2 of the podcast on the (Maryland) Attorney General's Report on Child Sexual Abuse in the Archdiocese of Baltimore, Serge and Clarke and special guest FJ Collins, discuss whether the AG's report is fair, the impact of expanded statutes of limitation, and whether the Attorney General of Maryland, as part of the Executive Branch of government, has done what is constitutionally prohibited by the Legislative Branch of government: issued a Bill of Attainder.
Session 5 - Preamble and Articles of the Constitution. Part 5: The Concept of Separation of Powers and the Relationship Among the Three Branches. Welcome back to the fifth part of our session on the Preamble and Articles of the U.S. Constitution. In the preceding segments, we explored the significance of the Preamble, analyzed each Article of the Constitution, discussed the Amendments, and delved into the principles of judicial review. Today, we will shift our attention to a core principle of our constitutional system: the separation of powers and the intricate relationship among the three branches of government. Introduction to Separation of Powers. The principle of separation of powers lies at the heart of the U.S. Constitution. It divides the powers and functions of government among three distinct branches: the Legislative Branch, the Executive Branch, and the Judicial Branch. Legislative Branch - Lawmaking and Representation. The Legislative Branch, established by Article I of the Constitution, holds the primary responsibility for making laws. It consists of the Senate and the House of Representatives. Function of the Legislative Branch: The Legislature enacts, amends, and repeals laws that govern the nation. It also holds the power of the purse, controlling government spending and taxation. Role in Checks and Balances: The Legislative Branch checks the Executive Branch's power through oversight, impeachment, and the ability to override vetoes. It also confirms judicial appointments. Executive Branch - Enforcement and Leadership. The Executive Branch, established by Article II of the Constitution, is responsible for enforcing laws and executing the functions of government. Function of the Executive Branch: The President, as the head of the Executive Branch, is the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces, negotiates treaties, appoints federal officers, and oversees federal agencies. Role in Checks and Balances: The Executive Branch can veto legislation passed by Congress, ensuring that the President has a role in the lawmaking process. The President also has the authority to nominate federal judges. Judicial Branch - Interpretation and Adjudication. The Judicial Branch, established by Article III of the Constitution, interprets and applies the law through the federal courts. Function of the Judicial Branch: Federal courts, including the Supreme Court, decide legal disputes, interpret the Constitution and laws, and ensure that laws are consistent with the Constitution. Role in Checks and Balances: The Judicial Branch exercises judicial review, determining the constitutionality of laws and government actions. This power serves as a check on the Legislative and Executive Branches. Checks and Balances Among the Branches. The separation of powers is complemented by a system of checks and balances that prevents any one branch from becoming too powerful. Legislative Checks: Congress can override vetoes, confirm or reject appointments and treaties, and impeach and remove federal officers, including the President. Executive Checks: The President can veto legislation, appoint federal judges and officials, and grant pardons. Judicial Checks: The Judiciary exercises judicial review, striking down laws that violate the Constitution. Courts can also interpret laws passed by Congress. Intricate Relationship Among the Branches. The separation of powers fosters an intricate relationship among the three branches, promoting cooperation and preventing tyranny. Legislative and Executive Interaction: The President must sign bills into law, veto them, or allow them to become law without a signature. This interaction reflects the collaborative nature of the lawmaking process. Executive and Judicial Interaction: The President appoints federal judges, subject to Senate confirmation, while the courts can rule on the constitutionality of executive actions. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/support
Welcome back, everyone, to the second part of our session on the Preamble and Articles of the U.S. Constitution. In the previous segment, we discussed the significance of the Preamble in setting the goals and guiding principles of our Constitution. Now, we will embark on a detailed examination of each Article of the Constitution, from Article 1 to Article 7. So, let's begin! Article 1 - The Legislative Branch. Article 1 establishes the first and most extensive branch of the U.S. government - the Legislative Branch. This branch is vested in the Congress of the United States, consisting of two chambers: the Senate and the House of Representatives. Section 1: Legislative Powers Vested in Congress. Article I grants Congress the authority to make laws for the nation, making it the primary law making body of the federal government. Section 2: House of Representatives. This section outlines the qualifications and selection process for members of the House of Representatives, including the number of representatives per state, their term lengths, and the process for filling vacancies. The House of Representatives is meant to be the "People's House," representing the interests of the citizens directly. Section 3: The Senate. Section 3 details the composition and role of the Senate, consisting of two senators from each state, elected by the state legislatures initially and later by popular vote. The Senate acts as a more deliberative body, representing state interests and providing a check on the House of Representatives. Section 4: Congressional Elections. This section grants state legislatures the power to determine the time, place, and manner of congressional elections. However, Congress can override these regulations if needed. Section 5: Rules and Procedures. Section 5 establishes the rules and procedures for each chamber of Congress, including quorum requirements, rules for discipline, and the freedom to judge the qualifications of its members. Section 6: Congressional Compensation and Privileges This section outlines the compensation of Congress members and protects them from arrest or civil lawsuits while attending sessions, except in cases of treason, felony, or breach of the peace. Section 7: The Legislative Process. Section 7 details the process by which bills become laws, including the requirement for both houses to pass a bill before it is presented to the President for approval or veto. Section 8: Enumerated Powers of Congress. This crucial section lists the specific powers granted to Congress, including the power to levy taxes, regulate commerce, coin money, and provide for the common defense and general welfare. These enumerated powers are the foundation for much of Congress's legislative authority. Section 9: Limits on Congress. Section 9 places limits on Congress's powers, such as prohibiting the suspension of habeas corpus, ex post facto laws, and bills of attainder. Additionally, it limits the ability to grant titles of nobility and directs that direct taxes be apportioned among the states based on their populations. Section 10: Limits on the States Section 10 sets limitations on the states, prohibiting them from entering into treaties, coining money, or passing bills of attainder, ex post facto laws, or laws impairing contracts. Article 2 - The Executive Branch. Article 2 establishes the second branch of the U.S. government - the Executive Branch. This branch is vested in the President of the United States, who serves as the head of state and government. Section 1: The President and Vice President. Article II outlines the qualifications, selection process, and term lengths for the President and Vice President. It also establishes the Electoral College as the method of electing the President. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/support

Opinion: Power to the people, via the legislative branch. Chris Cargill of the Mountain States Policy Center suggests we remember there's a reason the people, via the legislative branch, come first in our founding documents. https://tinyurl.com/64n9xbwc #Opinion #Columns #Commentary #ChrisCargill #MountainStatesPolicyCenter #LegislativeBranch #CongressOfTheUnitedStates #StateConstitutions #ArticleOne #SectionOne #USConstitution #PolicyMaking #BidenAdministration #GovJayInslee #WashingtonState #VancouverWa #ClarkClarkCountyWa #ClarkCountyNews #ClarkCountyToday
Today opens with two more solid wins for the US Constitution via our Supreme Court of the United States. We know it was good because Leftist children in adult bodies are throwing toddler-like tantrums. I think it's fundamentally clear, Leftists hate the Constitution and are always trying to find ways to subvert it in an attempt to get rid of it. The wins today are for the first amendment, for the end of racial discrimination and for the integrity of the role of the Legislative Branch. It's amazing to me that anyone would call those decisions “radical” or “extreme” unless they want a government that infringes on free speech, supports racial discrimination and doesn't believe in the checks and balances of our founding document. I break down each of the cases and explain why they are sound opinions. I also take the time to show just how radical the three dissenting Justices are acting. Elena Kagan, Sonja Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson all failed to uphold even the most basic elements of our Constitution. These cases were not being argued at some esoteric or hard to define level. In fact, two of the three were so obvious, they should have never risen to the level of the SCOTUS in the first place. I even have a sound bite from Nancy Pelosi proving Biden knew he could not forgive student debt, but tried to do it anyway. However, with an Executive Branch behaving as the dictatorial branch of government, it's not surprising to see just how morally bankrupt they have become. They are devoid of any sense of ethics or patriotism. They place party before the country and they place Marxist ideology over that. With each of the published dissents, I also bring the rebuttal from the majority to illustrate how poorly conceived and illogical they are. Justice Thomas eviscerates Justice Jackson's piece, while Justice Gorsuch expertly shows how Justice Sotomayor wrote herself into a circular firing squad. Also, during the course of the show, I illustrate just how bigoted and prejudiced white liberals think of minorities. It's ironic how they don't see that. One illustration comes from Erica Marsh, a blue check-marked account that lists her pronouns and being a proud Biden and Obama supporter. There is no better illustration of the phrase, “The soft bigotry of low expectation,” than to see her tweet and then her following messages trying to explain her position. By contrast, black millionaire commentator Charles Payne hopes this pushes more black families to realize the importance of solid education and work ethic as drivers of success.

Essay 41: Principle of a Legislative Branch Within a System of Government Closest to the People by Scot Faulkner. Click here to explore our 2023 90-Day Study: First Principles of the American Founding.
There's NDAA markups on both sides of Capitol Hill. House appropriators take up Homeland Security and Legislative Branch in full committee. Sanders moves a trio of workers' bills. Megan Mineiro has your CQ Morning Briefing for Wednesday, June 21.
Today I decide to open with the Debt Ceiling discussion that I have been avoiding for the last few days. Part of my avoidance is in wanting to see where it would go and not get swayed by rhetoric from the loud voices on the Left or the Right. However, after doing some research and some introspective analysis, I think Speaker McCarthy (R-CA) is living out his own version of Star Trek's Kobayashi Maru. It really is the no-win scenario. A large part of this is due to the Legislative Branch abdicating their Constitutional role for so long, it's hard for the Left to expect them to do it now. McCarthy has to find the middle ground that really doesn't even exist. That's the real problem. Unfortunately for him, I think he is putting way too much faith in the idea that come 2025, there will be a fiscally conservative president elected and that both sides of Congress will have strong Republican majorities. That's a really big pill to swallow, given all we know about FBI and Intelligence Community election interference in both 2016 and 2020. Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) is a strong Constitutionalist and makes a strong case why the current bill is a disaster. Senator Rand Paul agrees, as well. At the very least, we should be using the 2020 fiscal year as the starting point, not 2022. We cannot possibly justify the ridiculous spending during COVID as a reason to keep the spending where it is. And, to top it off, Speaker McCarthy disclosed to Harris Faulkner on her show that he was only able to see 11% of the overall budget. President Biden wouldn't even let the Speaker see the whole thing. How can anyone make an informed decision with 90% of the information withheld? I then move to more of what Russia presented to the UN from one or more of the biolabs in Ukraine. It seems they have documentation showing the United States has been funding research into Avian Flu, the spread of it and the migratory patterns of birds in Europe and Eastern Europe. It doesn't look good IF those accusations are correct. It's hard to know, but my gut, sadly, tells me they are. It's impossible not to believe it given all we have learned about how our government funding gain-of-function research and wanted to mass inoculate the world. Speaking of the vaxx, The Cleveland Clinic just released a study, which found “the higher the number of vaccines previously received, the higher the risk of contracting COVID-19.” We know they know the “vaccine” wouldn't really stop you from getting it or from transmitting it, yet they were adamant everyone had to take it multiple times. Why? If they knew it wouldn't work on SARS-Cov-2, what was the real reason to get everyone to take it? And, while we are on that subject, we are just now learning that vast stockpiles of HCQ and Ivermectin were available to give as early treatment and the governments of the world prevented that from happening. It's almost as if, in their grab for power and money, they also needed a lot of people to get sick and die to reinforce the hype they were manufacturing. Dr. Peter McCullough recently testified to an intergovernmental panel about this very subject. So, let's close with a little levity. Our VP was back behind a lectern with a captured audience, which always makes it ripe for a tasty sound bite or two. I close today with another installment of Deep Thoughts with VP Kamala Harris. It's amazing to think she is just a heartbeat away from taking such profound knowledge and taking the reins in the Oval Office.

Today opens with the acknowledgment that Joe Biden's economy is so great, it's now giving black and brown people opportunities to be white supremacists. I'm not making that up! The latest Fed controlled PsyOp had a 19 year old, brown skinned man slow turn an empty U-Haul into the White House outer barricades and all he was carrying was a Nazi flag. The responding authorities were sure to spread it out on the ground for all to see, just so you know how bad domestic terrorism and white supremacy are here in the United States. This is what our Executive Branch agencies have grown accustom to. They are comfortable fabricating narratives to suit an agenda, and they are so used to it at this point, they aren't even really trying hard anymore. This is so laughable, given many of us expected a false flag event to give the regime cover for so many bad stories the press has been working overtime to suppress. Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) reminded audiences on Sunday that the House has the power of the purse and they need to start using it to force the FBI to implement fundamental changes. It goes along with what I have been saying for a long time, now. Whether or not they have the stomach to use that power remains to be seen. By the way, the whole fake Russian collusion hoax triggered a memory I had from back in 2016. We know President Obama was aware of the hoax, but to keep up the ruse, he expelled 35 Russian diplomats. Think about what kind of corruption and arrogance to falsely accuse the diplomats of another agent of something you know they never did. The Mueller investigation was part of the same ongoing bit of performance art. They were all playing their roles in an effort to hurt the one person who was trying to return to “America First” policies. Remember, no matter how much you think government is there to help, they are only there to keep and retain power. They do not want to share with the common masses. People love to convince themselves that if they side with the tyrants, the tyrants will take care of them as a reward for helping them. In the whole history of tyranny, that's never how it works. All that is wrong with the FBI is a microcosm for all of the Executive Branch. And the Legislative Branch bears fault for abdicating their role for oversight and funding policy. It's going to take some effort to get them to change because they have been allowed to get away with it for so long. It's become standard operating procedure. I comment briefly on the recent news of over 50 Senators being given satellite phones, in the event of some emergency that might disrupt normal cellular communication. It's hard not to link that with so many other events, but I think we need to be careful not to let our own biases lead us to think our suspicions are the same as facts. One thing I do feel is we are headed for a hard recession and we need to prepare for it and for whatever else the Left might be planning as the 2024 presidential election cycles approaches. One final moment of levity. In a speech yesterday, our Meat Puppet-in-Chief was singing praises for Nancy Pelosi. He got so wrapped up, he went off script and said she was largely responsible for the policies that dug the US out of the Great Depression. I'm not making that up, folks. Biden think Pelosi has been serving in Congress since 1929. Take a moment to rate and review the show and then share the episode on social media.

Today's show opens with an overview of yesterday's CNN Town Hall with former President Donald Trump and hosted by Kaitlan Collins. That even helped to illustrate all that is wrong with the Legacy/mainstream media and how Leftists are furious at CNN for making Trump look good to his audience. I break down one segment, which is illustrative of the entirety of the Town Hall. Kaitlan became a hostile combatant, inserting herself in the evening as though she wasn't the host, but a candidate on the other side of the aisle. What was even worse, for CNN, she tried to real-time fact-check Trump multiple times and was wrong so many times it was embarrassing. She knows the MSM talking points, but she didn't know the truth, and that was the real problem. This flows into more commentary against the Legacy/mainstream media. They continue to have no issue with not covering massive stories simply because they hurt their party narrative. It's like they are one big collective now, acting on the pre-approved stories coming out the NY Times. No journalistic skepticism. No journalistic ethics. No curiosity. Just blind adherence to state approved narratives. Our FBI is no better. With each passing day it becomes impossible to ignore the depths of corruption and illegality they exude. They are refusing to turn over documentation of Joe Biden being bribed by a foreign national under the guise of national security, yet they are okay keeping a corrupt and compromised Commander-in-Chief in office and THAT'S not jeopardizing national security? On top of that, it appears the FBI worked to turn a member of Representative George Santos's staff into a confidential informant. Think about that for a moment. The law-enforcement wing of the Executive Branch worked to embed a spy into the Santos office to get dirt on him. Do you think this is the first and only instance of that? How many other members of the Legislative Branch are surrounded by FBI informants who are spying on them? You cannot be any more anti-American and anti-Constitution than to employ and support those tactics. Rep. Byron Donaldson did a tremendous job on CNN following the Trump Town Hall. He was in the den of vipers and was able to not only hold his own, but also make several significant points in a meaningful way. It's hard to do, yet he is always so dynamic in doing it. I really do wish the Judiciary Committee would have had him deliver the presser yesterday by himself. Finally, we end with a brand new installment of Deep Thoughts with VP Kamala Harris. This time, she tries to discuss the idea of context while interjecting a thought about youth coming from coconut trees. It's a stunning bit of speaking and only the truly gifted with be able to fully appreciate it. Take a moment to rate and review the show and then share the episode on social media.

Our State Practice dictates our "Scope of Practice" of the functions that we are allowed to perform as a dental hygienist and may even include things that we are not allowed to do. It is also important to understand the definition of "Supervision" and the level of supervision required to perform each component of care within our scope of practice. There are factors that affect the level of supervision General Supervision - The Doctor authorizes the procedure but is not physically present and does not evaluate the procedure upon completion. Indirect Supervision - The Doctor authorizes the procedure and is present, but does not evaluate specifically evaluate procedure upon completion. Direct Supervision - The Doctor authorizes the procedure and is directly present - evaluated the work after completion. Our State Dental Practice Acts control the practice of dentistry and dental hygiene. The State Government is divided up into three branches 1.) The Legislative Branch - enacts laws 2.) The Executive Branch - Implementation of laws and enforcement of laws 3.) The Judiciary Branch - Has the final say regarding the rights and responsibilities of those subject to the law. https://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/rules/state_agencies/den100-500.html Check out this website for additional resources: https://blog.feedspot.com/dental_hygiene_podcasts/ Take a look at a product line I have tried and recommend #ad: https://bit.ly/thehappyflosser Promo code: HAPPYFLOSSER --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/billie43/message
Today we open with Kevin McCarthy having finally been elected to Speaker of the House after a 15th vote. The 20 members of the House who stuck to their guns won a huge battle toward making the Legislative Branch more functional and fair for the American people. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX), who made a total fool of himself by mocking and deriding his fellow Republicans, made a half-hearted apology on CNN while trying to gaslight us into thinking he was just using a "turn of phrase." I'm sorry, but calling those 20 people, terrorists, isn't some throw-away phrase people use in daily vernacular. Plus, you also called them enemies and narcissists. Rather than own it and admit he let his emotions get the better of him, he had to try to make it look like everyone else misunderstood him. MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart was worse about it, describing the actions of the 20 as being nothing more than an ongoing extension of the insurrection from two years ago. And, even worse than that, his guest, Representative Madeleine Dean (D-PA) agreed! Fox News's Jimmy Failla tweeted something only two days into the hold-out and it bears repeating. "Failing to pick a leader in 2 days is not embarrassing. Spiking inflation to a 40 year high is embarrassing. Opening the border is embarrassing. Fleeing Afghanistan is embarrassing. Forcing (non-working) vaccines on people is embarrassing. Take your time, GOP. Take your time." Next I share a very short video Lauren Boebert (R-CO) made, addressing the wins they gained before voting for McCarthy. It's amazing to go through them and think, this is what Dan Crenshaw believes to be the demands of our enemies? Of Terrorists? These are the things that lend themselves toward discussion of insurrection? To make sure I provide an accurate list of concessions McCarthy made, I use both and Axios story and one from ZeroHedge. Between the two, I think it is fair to say we owe those 20 Republicans a lot for sticking to their Constitutional principles and moving the Legislative Branch of government back where our Founding Fathers intended. One of those concessions deserves a little discussion. The Post Millennial today reveals Jim Jordan (R-OH) has been named Chair of a new "Church" committee, tasked with looking into various subjects where the Government has been weaponized to go after American and their rights. This includes the Hunter Biden laptop censorship story, FBI's Russian collusion hoax narrative, lying to FISA courts and, of course, the governments response to and handling of COVID-19. The coronavirus story is so important because of all the work finally being made public about the mRNA vaccine. Dr. Richard Fleming takes a minute to summarize what we have learned about the vaxx. He calls out three elements and when he concludes are are all left to wonder why those involved are not already in prison? As a tie-in to this "Church" committee, Attorney General Andrew Bailey just released a host of documents about the government going after Americans and censoring them. One of those documents relates to a White House employee sending a letter, asking Twitter to silence Robert Kennedy, Jr. for being a known critic of the regime's COVID-19 narrative. For too long this government has been flouting the Constitution and because of those hold-outs, we are hopefully going to put a stop to it moving forward.

There are three branches of government in America – Legislative, Executive, and Judicial. In this episode, we find out what the legislative branch does!
Today opens with some massive wins, thanks to the 20 or so Republicans who refuse to just tow the line and let Kevin McCarthy waltz into the Speakership. While being mocked, derided and called all sorts of horrible names, these 20 folks are actually carrying out the business of what it means to be a member of the Legislative Branch. After losing his 6th consecutive vote late yesterday, it seems Kevin McCarthy has finally been dragged kicking and screaming toward following the Constitution as crafted, not as it has been perverted. Because of their determination, here are some of the concessions Kevin McCarthy has decided to agree to in an effort to win more votes. First, he has agreed to a one-member "motion to vacate." This gets us back to where we were prior to Nancy Pelosi. Second, McCarthy is prepared to give the House Freedom Caucus two seats on the House Rules Committee. Third, there will now be a vote on term limits and fourth, there will be major changes to the appropriations process. One of the most important tools for lawmakers is the power of the purse and thanks to the hold-outs, there is now a deal for standalone votes on each of the 12 annual appropriations bills, with an open rule to allow amendments from the floor from any lawmaker. These are fantastic developments and would not have happened were it not for the strength, courage and conviction of those 20 or so Republicans who are standing on principle and fighting for a return to the Constitutional processes as originally designed. On a sour note, we have to deal with two less than stellar examples of the GOP. First, RNC Chair Rona McDaniel took her condescending attitude to the Stuart Varney Show and basically said Americans are too stupid to follow such concepts and rule-making and motions to vacate. In an effort to just look united without actually being united, she took the stance to belittle the intellect of most Americans. On top of that, Congressman Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) showed his true colors when we appeared on the Guy Benson Show and called the 20 conservatives domestic terrorists. He later was on CNN, talking off the cuff in the halls of Congress, calling the conservatives narcissists and enemies. It was not just uncalled for, but a disgusting display of how the swamp dwellers really feel about our Constitutional process. Finally, Harmeet Dhillon, who is running for the RNC Chair to take it away from Rona McDaniel, spoke about her views on the Republican Party. In a short sound bite, she captures why she is such a better fit to be the head of the Republican National Committee. As she says, it's one thing to lose in one cycle, but after losing three cycles in a row, you should not get awarded a fourth. It does not work that way in business, it should not work that way in government. Take a moment to rate and review the show and then share the episode on social media.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: Appearing on CBS's Face the Nation, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi stated that it's a misconception to say Democrats care more about abortion access than the economy—she also insisted that inflation is a “global phenomenon” and not the fault of President Joe Biden or Democrats in the Legislative Branch. While speaking with Jake Tapper on CNN, Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) blamed over 50% of inflation on “corporate greed.” Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) appeared on Monday's episode of the The View, with the appearance going about as well as you would imagine—filled with fiery exchanges over election denial, disruptions from the audience, and Ana Navarro reprimanding Sen. Cruz for speaking too loudly. Another group of radical climate change protesters have targeted a beloved piece of art for desecration—this time it was “Grainstacks” by French Impressionist Claude Monet at the Barberini Museum in Germany. The activists splattered the $100 million painting with mashed potatoes. In an opinion editorial featured in the New York Times, Andres Malm—an associate professor of human ecology at Lund University and the author of “How to Blow Up a Pipeline: Learning to Fight in a World on Fire”—encouraged destructive behavior that targets the fossil fuel industry writing, “[a]s for the ethics of property destruction, it is not, in this case, very complicated. Fossil fuels kill people. If you disrupt the flow of such fuels and damage the machinery they impel, you prevent deaths. You stop the perpetration of harm. You may destroy an inanimate object.”
The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (10/24/2022): 3:05pm- According to the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), Pennsylvania and New Jersey student reading and math scores have decreased since 2019—indicating that pandemic school shutdowns have had an impact on childhood learning. 3:20pm- During a recent Board of Education meeting in Lawrence Township, NJ, one member suggested that parents have no right to determine what curriculum their children will ultimately end up learning in school. 3:45pm- According to a recent Wick Insights poll of likely voters, Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz now leads Democrat John Fetterman 49.1% to 44.6% in their race for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Sen.

According to the 2022 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), student math scores in every state have declined sharply since 2019. 3:55pm- In a recent opinion editorial for the Wall Street Journal, Kimberley Strassel explained that Georgia's record-setting early midterm voting “exposes” the lie that election integrity laws adopted by the state would result in suppressing votes and amounted to “Jim Crow 2.0”. 4:05pm- According to a report from the Daily Wire, the U.S. State Department appropriated $20,000 for a drag show in Ecuador. 4:20pm- Mattel has announced the creation of its first “gender-neutral” doll—referring to it as a “doll for everyone.” Mattel's Cultural Expert Jess Weiner explained that the doll was created because “parents are concerned about genderizing toys.” 4:40pm- During Sunday's episode of “Face the Nation”, anchor Margaret Brennan spoke with a focus group consisting of Republican, Democrat, and Independent voters. Brennan was surprised by how much agreement there was between the voters on issues like the economy, crime, and “woke” ideology, despite their differing party affiliations. 5:05pm- Appearing on CBS's Face the Nation, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi stated that it's a misconception to say Democrats care more about abortion access than the economy—she also insisted that inflation is a “global phenomenon” and not the fault of President Joe Biden or Democrats in the Legislative Branch. 5:15pm- While speaking with Jake Tapper on CNN, Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) blamed over 50% of inflation on “corporate greed.” 5:30pm- Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) appeared on Monday's episode of the The View, with the appearance going about as well as you would imagine—filled with fiery exchanges over election denial, disruptions from the audience, and Ana Navarro reprimanding Sen.

Fossil fuels kill people. If you disrupt the flow of such fuels and damage the machinery they impel, you prevent deaths. You stop the perpetration of harm. You may destroy an inanimate object.” 6:05pm- According to an NBC News report, Ron DeSantis could become the first Republican Florida Governor to win Miami-Dade County in over 20 years—since Jeb Bush in 2002. Miami-Dade is 70% Hispanic. The Atlantic's Jemele Hill wrote of DeSantis' support within the Hispanic community: "proximity to whiteness is a real thing. Also reminds me of an adage I heard a long time ago about how the oppressed begin to take on the traits of the oppressor.” 6:15pm- On Monday, while speaking at the Democratic National Committee's headquarters in Washington D.C., President Joe Biden once again blamed Russian President Vladimir Putin for inflation and vowed to ban assault weapons. 6:30pm- Fox News pieced together a hilarious montage of President Joe Biden “berating, scolding, and insulting reporters.” 6:35pm- During a rally in Robstown, Texas on Saturday, former President Donald Trump stated he will “probably have to” run for president again in 2024. 6:50pm- Contrary to narratives being pushed by many members of the national and international media, British Prime Minister Liz Truss' resignation should not be mistaken as a reason for American politicians to avoid tax cuts in the future. The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board explains: “She is being made the scapegoat for the economic policy blunders that the ruling Conservatives have made over 12 years in power, and especially since 2019 under previous Prime Minister Boris Johnson. 6:55pm- Who Won Social Media? +Zeoli's Final Thought
