Podcasts about senate republicans

Last week, as the deadline for the debt ceiling approached, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) made a deal with Democrats and delivered 11 Senate Republican votes to pass a short-term debt limit extension. Many are looking to this new December deadline for raising the debt limit as a major obstacle the government will soon face in the future, as Senator McConnell and the Republicans have vowed not to help raise the debt limit again. Republican Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) joins to discuss what he calls the brinkmanship of the Democratic party and his assertion that the GOP is trying to hold the Democrats accountable for deficit spending. Later he addresses the uncertainty of a bipartisan infrastructure bill and the bipartisan consensus among lawmakers in Washington that Facebook has problems that must be addressed.   Have you ever wondered where the origin of some of our present-day laws came from? Co-host of Outnumbered on the FOX News Channel and FOX Nation host Emily Compagno is back with season two of her FOX Nation series Crimes That Changed America. This season she investigates infamous cases in American history that shaped the legislation that we now have in our country today. Emily joins to talk about some of those crimes in her Fox Nation show.   Plus, commentary by writer and comedian Joe Machi.

Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell on Wednesday told Democrats he would allow an emergency debt limit extension into December, edging back from a perilous standoff by offering a potential path to avoid a federal default. A procedural vote on legislation that would suspend the debt limit for two years was abruptly delayed, and the Senate recessed so lawmakers could discuss next steps. “This will moot Democrats' excuses about the time crunch they created and give the unified Democratic government more than enough time to pass standalone debt limit legislation through reconciliation,” McConnell said.

John Thune grew up in Murdo, South Dakota. His interest in politics was sparked at a young age after making five of six free throws during a freshman high school basketball game. He was later greeted by a spectator who said, “I noticed you missed one.” That spectator happened to be a well-known sports enthusiast and then-South Dakota U.S. Rep. Jim Abdnor. The introduction was the start of a friendship that ignited John's career in public service.John received his undergraduate degree at Biola University and his master's degree in business administration from the University of South Dakota. Upon completion of his master's degree in 1984, he married Kimberley Weems, a native of Doland, South Dakota.John's attraction to public service took him to Washington, D.C., to work for that sports enthusiast and then-U.S. Sen. Jim Abdnor. He then served at the Small Business Administration under an appointment from President Ronald Reagan.In 1989, John and his family returned to South Dakota, where he served as the executive director of the South Dakota Republican Party.

Food Stamp Benefits to Receive Historic Increase in October https://www.breitbart.com/health/2021/10/01/food-stamp-benefits-to-receive-historic-increase-in-october/ People who receive food stamps, known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), will notice a major and permanent increase starting in October. Beginning this month, the average benefits for food stamps will grow over 25 percent above pre-pandemic levels, and the additional assistance will be “available indefinitely to all 42 million SNAP beneficiaries,” “The increase coincides with the end of a 15% boost in SNAP benefits that was ordered as a COVID-19 pandemic protection measure, which expired on Sept. 30,” “In practical terms, the average monthly per-person benefits for qualified recipients will rise from $121 to $157 — or $36 per person, per month,” The increase is projected to cost an additional $20 billion per year but it doesn't have to be approved by Congress. A farm law passed in 2018 by the then-Republican led Congress and signed by former President Donald Trump already directed the department to reassess the Thrifty Food Plan by 2022 and every five years thereafter. Paper ball… Senate Republicans plan to block another debt ceiling vote as default risks rise https://www.washingtonpost.com/us-policy/2021/10/06/republicans-senate-debt-ceiling-default/?utm_campaign=wp_post_most&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&wpisrc=nl_most&carta-url=https%3A%2F%2Fs2.washingtonpost.com%2Fcar-ln-tr%2F34e4a0a%2F615dcde29d2fda9d41004e99%2F5fd17c37ade4e21670c1cfd7%2F10%2F70%2F615dcde29d2fda9d41004e99 Senate Republicans plan to block Democrats from raising the country's debt ceiling, daring President Biden and his party's top lawmakers to devise another path forward just 12 days before the U.S. government could run out of flexibility to pay its bills. For the third time in as many weeks, Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) is set to hold a vote on a measure that would suspend the borrowing limit into next year, aiming to act before Congress blows past an Oct. 18 deadline that could catapult the country into an economic recession. But the proposal is likely to be as doomed as the two that preceded it. Democrats for the moment cannot advance in the debate over the debt ceiling unless 10 GOP lawmakers join them — and Republicans once again are refusing to supply the votes as part of their broader campaign to oppose Biden's economic agenda. “They basically want us to be aiders and abettors to their reckless spending and tax policies, and we just aren't going to do it,” said Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.). Absent congressional action, a default threatens to unleash widespread financial havoc: It could rattle markets, delay seniors' Social Security checks, prevent some families from receiving monthly child tax assistance and raise the cost of borrowing for millions of Americans by driving up interest rates. The Defense Department added Wednesday that it also would “seriously harm our service members and their families,” jeopardizing the government's ability to pay service members and civilians on time while providing benefits to veterans. Biden recently likened the doomsday scenario to a “meteor” crashing into the U.S. economy, only months after the coronavirus pandemic created the worst such devastation since the Great Depression. Paper ball… Democrats Wrangle Over How to Shrink $3.5 Trillion Proposal Lawmakers consider trims to package of healthcare, education and climate-change programs https://www.wsj.com/articles/democrats-wrangleover-how-to-shrink-3-5-trillion-proposal-11633466811?mod=itp_wsj&mod=djemITP_h President Biden acknowledged in a series of meetings with Democrats this week and on Friday that a package once pegged at $3.5 trillion would have to be smaller, given opposition from centrist Senate Democrats to a bill of that magnitude. Now, they are grappling with the tougher next step: deciding exactly how much narrower—and which of—their proposed child care, education or health programs would have to get trimmed or culled. “That's what the president wanted to hear from us: We know this isn't going to hit the $3.5 trillion—we all know that at this point—what are the most important needs of the American people?” said Rep. Cindy Axne (D., Iowa), who participated in a virtual meeting with Mr. Biden on Tuesday. Meeting with House Democrats on Friday, Mr. Biden had suggested that the package's overall spending level would likely be between $1.9 trillion and $2.3 trillion. Although Democratic leaders had initially agreed to roughly $3.5 trillion in spending, centrist Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona balked at that level. The two moderate Democrats have been negotiating for days with White House officials and Democratic leaders over the specifics of what they will be able to support. The two senators' approval is crucial because Democrats are planning to pass the package through a process linked to the budget, known as reconciliation, that allows it to clear the Senate with just a simple majority, rather than the 60 votes most bills require. With no GOP support expected, that means Democrats must still secure the support of every member of the Democratic caucus in the evenly split Senate and can afford no more than three defections in the House.

Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram were offline for six hours yesterday in what's been called the most sustained and the largest outage for the company in recent memory. It came a day after CBS aired an interview with a Facebook whistleblower, and on the same day the company filed a dismissal in an anti-trust lawsuit by the federal government. The latest Supreme Court term began, yesterday, and there is a lot to keep our eyes on with the current 6-3 conservative majority. The court is going to hear arguably the most important 2nd Amendment case since at least 2008, possibly the most impactful reproductive health ruling in decades, and more. And in headlines: union members of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees voted to authorize a strike, Senate Republicans vow to not raise the country's debt ceiling, and Clint Eastwood won a $6.1 million lawsuit against a CBD company.

Today congress approved a measure to fund the government into early December, and President Biden signed the bill hours later, staving off a shutdown that was set to occur after midnight. The votes in the House and Senate followed weeks of hand-wringing between the two parties, after Democrats initially sought to move the measure along with another proposal to raise the country's debt ceiling. Senate Republicans blocked that effort, leaving the country's ability to borrow unresolved just 18 days before the next major fiscal deadline. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sunday Replay: Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY)

Gov. Tim Walz said Tuesday he is rethinking plans to call a special legislative session next month, after a senior Senate Republican told a Capitol rally that he's ready to oust the state's health commissioner. The special session had been planned to approve special bonus pay for essential pandemic workers. This is an MPR News morning update for Wednesday, September 1, 2021. Hosted by Cathy Wurzer. Our theme music is by Gary Meister.

“In contradistinction to German fascism, which acts under anti-constitutional slogans, American fascism tries to portray itself as the custodian of the constitution and ‘American democracy.'” – Georgi Dimitrov Six months ago, on January 6, 2021, a racist mob, incited by outgoing U.S. President Donald Trump, stormed the U.S. Capitol in a chaotic attempt to prevent the congressional certification of the 2020 presidential election results, a necessary step before the inauguration of Joe Biden. The assault on the Capitol was led by militarized fascist groups composed of many current or former military and police.[1] Some of the leaders of the organizations involved, such as Proud Boys Enrique Tarrio and Joseph Biggs, had direct ties to U.S. intelligence agencies, having served as FBI informants.[2] Only one fifth of Capitol Police were on duty that day, and they were unprepared and underequipped, even though the U.S. national security state had advance knowledge of the plot. A Senate investigation concluded that there was a multi-teared security “failure” on January 6th that involved not only Capitol Police but also the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Defense, among other agencies: Capitol Police were seen opening barricades and fraternizing with fascists, there were delays in deploying the National Guard, restrictions on reinforcements came from on high (implicating Defense Secretary Mark Esper and Secretary of the Army Ryan McCarthy, amongst others), DHS agents on standby were not deployed, etc.[3] Much is still unknown about what was actually going on behind the spectacular scenes of the storming the Capitol. The fact that the bourgeois media ran an expansive faith-in-government campaign in its wake, and Senate Republicans blocked plans for a bipartisan governmental commission to investigate it, has only contributed to the obscurity surrounding this event. Essential questions remain: Although there are clear signs of governmental involvement, how deep and wide was the conspiracy? Which precise factions of the capitalist ruling class backed the organizations behind the assault on the Capitol, and to what extent was it “astroturfed” by them (meaning discretely funded to create the illusion of a grassroots movement from below)?[4] What was the exact ratio and relationship between state agents and the para-state—i.e. vigilante—actors involved?[5] Was this solely an organic conflict between the Trump and Biden camps, or was something more at play? It is important to note in this regard that the PR campaign that ushered Biden into office as the “savior of our democracy” has empowered his administration to break countless campaign promises and use the storming of the Capitol as a pretext for pushing for increased securitization, surveillance and the criminalization of dissent (which have always been used to target the Left). Whereas serious and rigorous investigations will need to take place in order to resolve these questions, a scantly known fascist plot to seize control of the U.S. government in the 1930s sheds important light on the history of homegrown fascism and the clandestine machinations of the bourgeoisie. Although there are significant differences between these two events, and facile analogies should be avoided in the name of precise materialist analysis, knowledge of the details of the earlier plot can help us better understand the relationship between bourgeois democracy and fascist movements in the U.S. settler colony.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, things are now happening in this country that will affect you directly. 19 Republicans in the Senate have surrendered to the American Marxist movement, with Mitch McConnell leading the way. How can McConnell be the Republican leader if the majority of Senate Republicans voted against the bill? The $1.2 Trillion infrastructure bill is filled with pork and pet projects, empowers Democrats, and expands government even more. Every Republican that voted for this bill has now paved the way for trillions of additional Democrat spending.  Later, Philip Klein of National Review calls In to discuss the infrastructure bill and the failure of Republicans to stop it. Also, there isn't any difference between the various Democrat Marxist movements and the media. The climate movement has nothing to do with clean air or water, and everything to do with de-growth and anti-capitalism. The Green New Deal is exactly what Thomas Jefferson was referring to when he described tyranny of the legislature. Finally, Andrew Cuomo resigned as governor of New York, forced out not because of the nursing home deaths he caused but because of a damning report of sexual harassment. How does Biden keep escaping his sexual harassment scrutiny? Rep. Lee Zeldin calls in to give his take on Andrew Cuomo and the next governor of New York.

On a fast-paced breaking news day, as Charlie examined the disastrous "infrastructure" boondoggle that just passed the Senate, news broke that Governor Andrew Cuomo resigned from his role atop New York's government amid the ongoing sexual harassment scandal that has plagued his administration. But not to be distracted by the salacious details of an Italian sleaze ball, Charlie dives deep into the $1.2 trillion bill that—for whatever reason—garnered the support of 19 Senate Republicans. He unpacks their betrayal and names names before explaining why their betrayal is such an outrage and a disappointment.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, you can always count on the Senate Republican leadership to take an issue that they're actually winning on, and that would benefit future generations of Americans, and throw in the towel. Republicans have caved and agreed to spend an additional $1.2 trillion on infrastructure. While the politicians declare all things to be infrastructure in the name of bipartisanship, the actual backbone of our nation is crumbling. Marxism is pervasive and infects all aspects of American culture. Media types like Chuck Todd do the bidding of the American Marxists. Later, President Biden tells union workers that he never would have won without union support in a forgetful Pennsylvania speech. Also, Nancy Pelosi mumbles that Kevin McCarthy is a moron and she seems to base it on "science."
