America in View Political News Podcast

America In View: August 9, 2024 by Brett and Matt Doster

Matt and Brett Doster analyze the latest in political news across the country and find time to talk a little about the Olympics and the Middle East.

Matt and Brett are joined by special guest Mike Hanna, president of a national consulting firm and political guru on issues all across the country. Last week, when Mike was on the show, he predicted that Biden would drop out of the Presidential race by Sunday or Monday, and he was spot on! Tune in as we discuss the factors that led to Biden's announcement, the major Democratic players who helped push the decision, and what this means to the 2024 Presidential race as Kamala Harris picks up the baton.

On this week's show, Matt and Brett will explore the hottest political news topics from this past week. Starting with the attempted assassination of President Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania. There is a lot of speculation as to what went wrong, why it happened, and what it means for the presidential race. 

Next up, we will discuss J.D. Vance's Vice Presidential Nomination at the RNC and how, from humble beginnings, he has catapulted into the Republican Party's political stratosphere.

Finally, rumors are flying that President Biden may be stepping down from his presidential race after many in his Party find him unfit for a second term. We'll look at what's next for Biden if he does step down.

Brett and Matt have an exciting show in store today, analyzing all the latest drama in Presidential politics as Joe Biden attempts to restore confidence in his candidacy, even while creating new doubts on a daily basis. 

They plan to talk battleground states, with latest polling showing Trump to be competitive in many states thought unwinnable even a month ago.

And who will Trump's V.P. pick turn out to be? They have plenty of thoughts and opinions on this one too.

Make sure to tune in at 4 p.m. today!

This week, we have a great show lined up on a very hot topic! Special guest Kara Rollins, Litigation Council for the New Civil Liberties Alliance, will join us today to discuss a breaking Supreme Court ruling that curtails federal agencies' power! The ruling overturned a 40-year-old "Chevron deference" decision that gave federal agencies broad regulatory power. The ruling has upended certain federal agencies' authority to issue regulations unless Congress has spoken clearly.

Conservative legal groups have long sought to reverse or weaken Chevron v. National Resources Defense Council, which was decided in 1984. The court's ruling in two related cases is a significant victory for the conservative movement. Those opposing that landmark ruling, which challenged a regulation enacted by the Environmental Protection Agency under the Clean Air Act, claim the Chevron doctrine gives unelected federal bureaucrats too much power to craft regulations affecting significant areas of American life, such as the workplace, the environment, and health care. Kara will offer us her expert opinion on the ruling and what the decision means for conservatives.

Brett and Matt are joined by Brett O'Donnell, a Renowned Debate Coach and Strategist who, for several decades, has served as a message and media strategist for Presidential candidates, Governors, Senators, and numerous members of Congress.

What's on our radar for the show? You guessed it, the Presidential Debate. In a historic clash of personality and policy, Biden and Trump took the stage for the first presidential debate of the 2024 election. This high-stakes event provided a rare opportunity for both candidates to move the needle in their direction. Looking frail and confused, Biden could hardly keep up with the line of questioning, while Trump was on point and obviously the debate winner.

Join us as we discuss the debate highlights and low points with Brett O'Donnell. Brett, who has vast experience in the political consulting world, will offer his take on the debate and the following polls, which lauded President Trump as the winner. The Democrats are in crisis mode, as their Presidential nominee looked anything but Presidential. This race will be interesting to watch!

On this episode of America in View, Brett and Matt are joined by Florida State Senator Jay Trumbull, Chairman of the Commerce and Tourism Committee. Tune in at 4 p.m. and join us for an informative discussion with Senator Trumbull as he updates us on Gov. DeSantis signing the "Focus on Florida's Future" Budget for Fiscal Year 2024-2025. The Focus on Florida’s Future Budget totals $116.5 billion—less than the previous fiscal year—which reflects a reduction in overall state spending.

Brett and Matt also want to talk to Senator Trumbull about the public policy and infrastructure challenges facing the Panhandle as Florida experiences rapid growth. It is no secret that the Free State of Florida is experiencing an influx of residents from blue states seeking to call Florida their home. This also brings with it a new set of challenges for State Officials as the need for housing and infrastructure expands.

As always, they will discuss trending news in national politics. As a nation, we are dealing with the tragic consequences of the failed Biden border policy, as we hear more and more accounts of horrific crimes committed by illegal aliens.

They have a special treat today with Florida State Representative and Chairman of the House Commerce Committee Bob Rommel joining us. Tune in to hear from Rep. Rommel on the great progress made in the Florida Legislature with rolling back the Left's so-called D.E.I. standards.

They will also discuss protecting free speech on campuses. Florida has set the standard by stopping college administrations at public universities from heavy-handed regulation of political speech by conservative students. Rep. Rommel, sponsor of the legislation, has led the way to defend the first amendment rights of all students in Florida.

Florida is the haven of freedom and free enterprise! As blue states seek to strip away freedoms and stifle small business, the Free State of Florida is growing in numbers and prominence! And the flood of new residents from these states shows that it's working!

On this episode of America in View, Matt and Brett will talk with retired Army Officer Tim Fitzpatrick about the 80th anniversary of D-Day and some of the latest developments in foreign affairs, from Ukraine to Israel to Cuba. Tim has joined the show previously to unpack the war in Israel and America’s involvement. This week, they will take a deeper dive into the discussion on our military’s hand in foreign conflicts in the past and what our role looks like going into the future. Get ready for a thought-provoking episode on foreign politics and developments that could have a significant impact on the world as we know it.

It’s an episode you don’t want to miss out on! Tune in today at 4 p.m. to get your weekly dose of current events on America in View with Matt and Brett.
