In the early 80's an organization called The National Endowment For Democracy(NED) was formed under the Reagan administration by a bi-partisan group of representatives, and bureaucrats to allegedly to foster democracy around the world. At its conception, 4 others subgroups were included; The International Republican Institute(IRI), The National Democratic Institute(NDI), The Solidarity Center, & The Center For International Enterprise(CIPE). This covered both political parties, Unions, & Private Business. According to former Intel Agents, & Journalists like the late Robert Parry, NED, & its other well funded, and well connected organizations were created to do what the CIA had been doing for decades, and that was to assist in the infiltration, and overthrow of foreign governments who weren't on board with the Western Elites business plans of expansion, and global imperialism. Today Ned funds over 2000 other NGO's around the world, and cand be found working closley with USAID, Freedom House, Bellingcat, Goerge Soros' Open Societies. Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, wherever there's a color revolution, you will find NED, and its vast legion of tax-exempt groups fomenting dissent, and looking for embers to heap gasoline upon. Often by way of education, or media including tv, print, radio, and internet. Under the guise of fairness, and equality NED does a little good in order to make way for its financial masters. Did I mention, its supposedly non-governmental yet, is funded by Congress aka, taxpayers, and to the tune of $300 Million a year? So, it gets money like a government agency, but doesn't have to follow the same rules, and regulations. This my friends is where the R's, and D's, the private, and public sectors come together to create the atmosphere where the upper echelons of industry, and high finance can profit all over the world.

We've made it to 1994. In September, House Republicans gather on the steps of the Capitol and sign the Contract with America. It's a carefully-worded list of bills they promise to bring to a vote as soon as they win the majority. Election night arrives, and the Republican sweep is decisive. Democrats are completely thrown by the size of the loss — and start searching for answers. And in January 1995, Newt Gingrich's biggest moment finally arrives: The Democrats hand over the gavel, and he becomes Speaker of the House.
In the early 1980s, Newt Gingrich starts recruiting Republican congressmen to his cause. They form the Conservative Opportunity Society and take advantage of a new cable channel, C-Span, which lets them circumvent the traditional media to spread their message to voters. And they confront Democrats with a fervor that old-school Republicans find distasteful. But when — in 1984 and 1985 — Newt and his followers inspire two angry showdowns in the House, their more staid colleagues start to see value in this new, confrontational style.

Joe Biden is walking a tightrope. He was elected on promises of effectiveness, empathy, and unity.

Prominent Republican conservatives Rich Lowry and Vin Weber stop by.

Republican strategist Vin Weber and Democratic strategist Justin Buoen break down the final week of the 2020 national elections.
This online event took place on August 13, 2020. The Democratic and Republican parties are holding their national conventions to formally nominate their candidates. The Chair of the Democratic National Convention, Tom Perez, discusses the convention and presidential campaign with Justin Buoen (campaign manager for Sen. Amy Klobuchar's presidential run) and Vin Weber (former Republican Member of Congress and national political consultant). The Republican National Committee was invited to participate and declined.
President Barack Obama's former strategist David Axelrod and star Republican strategist Vin Weber size up the advantages and disadvantages of Former Vice President Joe Biden and President Trump. Biden's vice presidential pick, summer conventions, and fall campaigning are some of the topics.
The campaign for the 2020 presidential election will be unlike any in our lifetime as candidates respond to the Coronavirus and unprecedented economic collapse. What issues, campaign themes, and candidate strategies will dominate? Have your expectations about likely outcomes changed? Three months ago, media commentators often described President Donald Trump as a favorite to win reelection. Have today's public health and economic crises made the presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden the favorite? Anna Greenberg, Ph.D., is the managing partner at the public opinion research firm GQR. She has been a pollster on many campaigns including Congressman Dean Phillips, Mayor Bill de Blasio, and Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. Previously, she taught public opinion and survey research methodology at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government. Vin Weber is a partner at Mercury where he provides strategic advice to institutions with matters before the legislative and executive branches. Previously, he represented Minnesota in the U.S. House from 1981-1993. He is one of the most prominent and successful strategists in the Republican party and enjoys strong bipartisan relationships across the different branches of government.
October 15, 2019 12:00 PM to 1:15 PM Humphrey School of Public Affairs What effect has President Trump had on conservatism, and what direction should it take after his time in office is over? Some conservatives argue that Trump is an aberration and conservatism will return to normalcy when he is gone. Others think that Trump has effected a lasting change in the definition of the Republican party, for good or ill. Still others think that the future of conservatism will be up for grabs, and have different ideas about what it should be. Ramesh Ponnuru is a senior editor of National Review, which was founded by William F. Buckley Jr – who has also been called the founder of American conservatism. Buckley famously attempted to purge the conservative movement of “kooks” and bigots. Ponnuru will address whether Buckley's conservatism has been permanently eclipsed by Trump's. The event was moderated by former Minnesota congressman Vin Weber.
