A revamp of the Betsy Hendrson argument and a touch of complex nationwide surveys on how Americans actually feel about policy questions. 

Sam and I wander through the top stories of the week.  Sheriff Spangler makes an apearnce and looks good, but not good at the same time.  The secret plan by state GOP to push for homogonizing the population, how will UT react to federal funding craziness...The Terminator is being build in Oak Ridge and much more.

I take a moment to run down some thoughts of Dr. Briggs on SB 1413...I cannot thank him enough for his time today and I learned a lot, about him, about his process, and about TN.  Tune in to the next episode Sam and I will discuss some of the take aways.

Oh well...only I got to see that show!
