Podcasts about united state senate

It's been called “The World's Greatest Deliberative Body.”  One-third of its members are elected every two years, and serve six year terms.  Presided over by the Vice President of the United States.  We are of course talking about the United State Senate.  The Founders created the Senate with a purpose, to be a place when debate happens as a “House of Reason.”  To walk us through the Senate and what separates it from the way the House of Representatives does business, we are thrilled to have two guests on our show this week.  Josh Holmes, host of the popular “Ruthless” podcast, served as Chief of Staff to Speaker Mitch McConnell from 2010-2013 and also worked in the U. S. House of Representatives.  Jade West served as Staff Director of the U.S. Senate Republican Policy Committee and as Executive Director of the U.S. Senate Steering Committee.   

John Curtis took his place in the United State Senate on January 3 of this year. He's joining us to talk about his life in politics and his vision for Utah and the nation.

According to The New York Times, six members of Joe Biden's inner circle protected the “faltering” president and shielded the press from witnessing his physical and cognitive decline.

The Sos Report brings you Part 2 of "Zelenskyy Manipulates/ Controls America" he goes into this so-called Ukraine Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2023. Furthermore, Soslan takes a deeper dive and reveals that the war has no ending shortly and intends to pro-long this war into 2024, right before America decides on the next president. The United State Senate and Congress have betrayed their citizens. They will let America crumble so a dictator from another country to waltz right onto the Congressional Chamber and tell us what to do. This is a slap in the face for the taxpayers and what America was founded on.

United States Senate Candidate Kathy Barnette joined Rich to discuss her thoughts on Ukraine and if the U.S. and NATO should establish a no-fly zone over Ukraine air space while the U.S. still focuses on their own problems at home. 

Is it time to rethink how our Federal government works and consider abolishing the United State Senate? It's a question circulating conversations for years. In this episode, Dan and Kim consider the reasons for and against the call to abolish the US Senate, and other ideas to fix what's not working.Links from this eepisode:Liberals - You Don't Really Want to Abolish the SenateAbolish the Senate, Expand the HouseQuora Discussion: Is it a Good Idea to Abolish the US Senate?Abolish the SenateLinks:My America TwitterMy America InstagramKim's InstagramDan's InstagramKim's TwitterDan's TwitterEmail usIf you liked the show, please consider sharing this podcast with your friends, family and network.

Katie Albitz joins Raising Rochester this week as our podcast's first out-of-town guest to analyze the child care components of the proposed federal Build Back Better reconciliation package. Katie is the Public Policy and Advocacy Coordinator for the New York Association for the Education of Young Children (NYAEYC). The conversation touches on the important work that NYAEYC does throughout New York State, the transformational nature of the proposed federal legislation, what New York should do to best implement of this child care system overhaul, and what listeners should do to ensure it passes the United State Senate. Links and Resources: New York Association for the Education of Young Children Empire State Campaign for Child Care Hunt Institute Summary of Build Back Better's Pre-K and Child Care Provisions First Five Years Fund Action Toolkit We also discussed, but had to cut for time, a survey that NYAEYC conducted to tell the stories of child care provider experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic.

At Latter-day Saints in Action we want to make sure that candidates get a chance to educate the public about who they are and what their stance is on issues that are important to their constituents. As such, I had the great privilege to interview and get to know a candidate running for a United State Senate seat here in Utah. Her name is Becky Edwards. She shared stories of how the Church has impacted her political life and helped her emphasize listening. She shared stories of successes and failures during her time in the Utah State House of Representatives, and even talked about how perceived failures can turn into successes when given enough time.It is incredible to see how members of the Church are impacting so many areas of life.  During the interview, Becky said something that I think is indicative of her political philosophy, "I want the average Utahn to look at a piece of legislation and say, 'That actually connects with my life.  That makes a difference.'"To learn more about Becky and her candidacy go to beckyforutah.com.

As the United State Senate declines to investigate the January 6, 2021 Insurrection, we take a look back at the tumultuous events between the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, and Election Day 2020. Katherine returns for part two of our conversation to share her perspective as an organizer, artist and advocate.

Senator Stern lets the words fly in the semi-hallowed halls of the United State Senate as Tony commands the end of his trial. Now things get tricky. There's a deleted scene we're all glad is not in the movie and that not just because Pepper's hair goes full Medusa. But pay little attention to that because we've got a “boyd” sighting! Vanko's back and with whips! And so is The Next Reel's Ray DeLancey but with no whips.

Four (now five) people are dead and many more injured after radical Trumpsters lay siege to the U.S. Capitol building. Decades of the GOP stoking the fires of racism, conspiracy theories, and ideologically driven media is coming home to roost. Fire’s like that. Only fools believe that they can tame a wildfire.  After hours of delays due to the Trumpster insurrection, the results of the Electoral College Vote was officially counted and Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will be sworn into office in less than two weeks.  It’s time to break out your copies of Timothy Snyder’s On Tyranny, or pick up a copy if you don’t have one yet. The escalating violence is part of the authoritarian playbook. This does not bode well for 2021.  Some Democrats initially tried to simply “get back to normal” following the failed coup, but it’s becoming increasingly impossible for them to do so. Pressured by Democratic House and Senate members, Pelosi and Schumer are now calling for Trump’s removal though the 25th Amendment or impeachment. This is a quickly developing story.  Congresswoman Katherine Clark told CNN this morning that House Democrats are preparing an impeachment vote by the middle of next week if Trump isn’t removed by the 25th amendment.  All of that happened after Democrats scored historic victories in the Georgia runoff elections. Rafael Warnock and Jon Ossoff victories give Democrats control of the Senate with Kamala Harris as the tie breaker.  And THAT came after Trump was recorded trying to intimidate Georgia election officials to give him enough votes to give the Georgia election to Trump.  The other big news of the week seems almost trivial at this point.  Pennsylvania Senate Republicans this week gave their one preview of what we saw unfold in DC this week. PA Senate Republicans led by Senate President Pro Tempore Jake Corman refused to seat incumbent, reelected State Senator Jim Brewster. Corman and Senate Republicans forcefully seized control from Lt. Governor John Fetterman who was presiding over the session. John Fetterman hinted about his candidacy for the United State Senate on twitter this morning. Kutztown University President Kenneth Hawkinson announced that he has tested positive for COVID. Kutztown University has some of the worst COVID numbers in PA higher education after Hawkinson demanded a return to in-person classes in Fall 2020. Kutztown has more than 430 confirmed cases of COVID among students and staff. Hawkinson’s announcement comes at a time of spiking COVID cases in Berks County, passing 25,000 cases this week.  And in more Kutztown University news, a man in a Kutztown hat was captured on film assaulting an AP photojournalist at the Trumpster insurrection. It’s good to be golden, I guess.  The full 2021 calendar for space launches and missions is out. We’ll have links and highlights for what looks to be a pretty active year in space.  And, of course, we’ll take you through some of the Free Will Brewing releases ready for 2021. 

It's official! It took 4 days, but the results are finally here: and Joe Biden & Kamala Harris are the new Presidents of the United States of America!  Hopefully. Like everyone else, Julie & Brandy are cautiously optimistic about what is to come in 2021, but democrats need to win more than just the White House if America is going to experience any real change in the next four years. So, the girls call on their good friend/favorite teacher, Mr. Beat, to answer all their burning questions about the run-off election in Georgia, and what it will mean if the United State Senate ends up in a tie.

Recorded: Oct 8, 2019 A conversation on the U.S.-Korea business relationship, US-Japan relations and U.S. In this episode we hear from the United States Ambassador to the Republic of Korea (ROK) Harry Harris, a Tennessee native. He was in Nashville to visit with business leaders as part of his effort to promote trade ties. Ambassador Harris spoke to a group hosted by the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce. TNWAC was a partner for the event along with the Tennessee Valley Authority, and the U.S. Commercial Service. Ambassador Harry Harris was confirmed by the United State Senate on June 28, 2018 as the U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of Korea (ROK) following a distinguished naval career which culminated in commanding the U.S. Pacific Command. He is the first Asian-American to hold four-star rank in the U.S. Navy and the first to head USPACOM. Prior to USPACOM, he commanded the U.S. Pacific Fleet. From 2011 to 2013, Ambassador Harris served as the representative of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to the Secretary of State. In this role, he traveled to over 80 countries with the Secretary and participated in most of the Secretary’s meetings with foreign leaders. He also served as the U.S. Roadmap Monitor for the Mid-East Peace Process. Ambassador Harris was born in Japan and reared in Tennessee and Florida. He graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1978. He holds master’s degrees from Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government and Georgetown’s School of Foreign Service. He also did post-graduate work at Oxford University and completed the Seminar 21 fellowship at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

The 2019 Army-Navy Game marks the rivalry's 120th meeting and 89th time played in Philadelphia. The Army-Navy Game pits the U.S Military Academy at West Point (Black Knights) against the U.S. Naval Academy (Midshipmen) at Lincoln Financial Field on December 14. In 2012, former Heisman Trophy winner Pete Dawkins and author Mark Beech joined SportsJam host Doug Doyle to talk about the game and the book When Saturday Mattered Most : The Last Golden Season of Army Football. As a senior in 1958 Pete Dawkins won the Heisman Trophy, the Maxwell Award and was a consensus All-America selection. Dawkins served as an officer in the United States Army until he retired in 1983, with the rank of brigadier general. Dawkins was a Republican candidate for a United State Senate seat in New Jersey in 1988. Dawkins says when he came to West Point he didn't look like a Heisman Trophy winner. "I was an unimposing figure when I arrived at the Military Academy as a plebe. I joke but it has substantial amount

The fight over President Donald Trump’s wall entered a new stage today as the United State Senate passed a bipartisan border security plan. The 83-16 Senate vote advances the bill to the House for a vote Thursday night. The measure requires a signature by Trump in time to avert another partial government shutdown this weekend. The measure would finance 55-miles of fencing along the U.S.-Mexico border, significantly less that Trump wanted. The vote came shortly after the White House announced the president would use emergency powers to build additional miles without approval from Congress. Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell said he would support Trump’s decision to use emergency powers. McConnell had previously said he opposed the use of them. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said all options were open to counter Trump’s threat. She said a lawsuit is possible and accused trump of an attempt to undermine democracy. The Center for Constitutional Rights, a New York based progressive legal organization has been suing the Trump administration over its border policies. Staff attorney Angelo Guisado says at the heart of Trump’s threat of declaring a national emergency is an appeal to his xenophobic, anti-immigrant base. Meanwhile on capitol hill… The Senate on Thursday voted to confirm William Barr as attorney general, 54-45. The confirmation of Trump's nominee, who will oversee special counsel Robert Mueller's probe, had been expected given the GOP's 53-47 control of the chamber. He was sworn in several hours later at the White House. Barr, 68, who has been counsel at the Kirkland & Ellis law firm, served as attorney general under President George H.W. Bush from 1991 until 1993, following an 18-year civil service career that began at the CIA. The new attorney general, nominated by Trump in December to replace Jeff Sessions, will be only the second person to hold the job twice. While attorney general under the Bush administration he facilitated the presidential pardons of several officials either charged or convicted of crimes.. including Elliot Abrams who is now Trump’s special envoy to Venezuela. A former reporter for the Washington Post, Jefferson Morley is editor of the Deep State Blog. He says Barr defended the actions of the Central Intelligence Agency during the Iran-Contra scandal.. Moreley adds that Barr is a supporter of broad presidential powers. ————————————————— Meanwhile In a luncheon speech to a U.S.-led Middle East security conference in Warsaw, Vice President Mike Pence calls on German, France, and Britain to withdraw from the 2015 Iran nuclear agreement. The signature deal of former President Barack Obama was overturned by Trump, but is still supported by the other signatories. Dan Kovalik is author of The Plot to Control the World: How the US Spent Billions to Change the Outcome of Elections Around the World He says Trump is picking potential war criminals to spearhead his plans in South America and Iran.

What happens when one of America's biggest rock stars leaves the Las Vegas stage to run for the United State Senate? Author Wayne Avrashow discusses his critically-acclaimed thriller, “Roll the Dice”. Wayne is an attorney, former campaign manager in Los Angles politics, government commissioner, and author of numerous op-ed articles on political and legal issues.

When performer exits stage for politics in “Roll the Dice,”dark secrets are exposed and scandal is around every corner ENCINO, California – When Tyler Sloan, famed singer-songwriter and member of the Rock n’Roll Hall of Fame, retires from the Las Vegas stage to campaign for election as Nevada’s next U.S. senator in “Roll the Dice” (Fiery Seas, Nov. 28), intrigue and scandals bubble up from every corner. Issues with his father, a former California governor who nearly became president, permeate their relationship and the campaign. Sloan’s attorney has one eye on protecting Sloan and the other on his own interests. Another musician blackmails him with a decades-old video sex tape of Sloan and two women, one of whom is his Republican opponent. Sloan’s edgy relationship with his attractive young media advisor borders on the edge of propriety, and his campaign manager is embroiled in legal troubles with the FBI. Throughout this turbulent ride, Sloan tries to protect his 13-year-old daughter from all of this, but finds it difficult to shield her from her mother, who is becoming increasingly dependent on prescription medications. Wayne Avrashow knows politics and campaigns inside and out, and it shows in his first novel. In pre-publication review, Kirkus awarded “Roll the Dice” as one of the year’s best unpublished manuscripts, and termed it “politics at its corrupt, dysfunctional best.” It is filled with dark secrets, family tension, blackmail and bribes.
