America's Moderate Voice

We meet again with Sherman Tylawsky from Friends and Fellow Citizens to talk about cybersecurity in the United States.

Our story today begins with the topic of the January 6th insurrection. I have only done one episode on this topic, but not directly, only in the respect of the 25th amendment challenge. But now, after months of review and discussions, we have an episode on the topic. The reason why is because new evidence and information was being brought up a lot throughout the months, and there are still some things uncertain. Today I have a special guest joining us today; he has a unique perspective of this day since he was there when it happened. His name is Sherman Tylawsky, a podcaster with the show: Friends & Fellow Citizens. We will talk about how all of this affects the current political and social state of the United States, and how we may be able to improve it for the future. I hope you all enjoy our discussion.

International travel reflects the agenda of political leaders. Oftentimes it is to strengthen relations with neighbors and partners, or sometimes even to negotiate deals. However, it can also mean targeting an issue or problem that either one party, or multiple is facing. What leaders must do in these scenarios is to work together, or get one side to agree, to tackle the issue and resolve it. International travel has its effects on both people abroad and at home. The politics will be mixed and needs a clear message. Today’s issue will reflect migration. How will migration and its negotiations affect the United States? My name is Derek Gutierrez, and welcome to America’s Moderate Voice.

Our story today begins with the topic of the political landscape of alternative facts and partisan content marketing propaganda. We will be focusing on those aspects of politics and how those affect the policies of the United States. Joining me today is Jay Fratt, a podcaster with the show: The Conservative Hippie. We will talk about how all of this affects the past and current policies of the United States, and how we may be able to improve it for the future.

On May 17th 2021, United States Trade Representative Katherine Tai, U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo, and European Commission Executive Vice President Valdis Dombrovski had a virtual meeting in which they discussed the future of US-EU trade relations. According to a joint statement, they “announced the start of discussions to address global steel and aluminum excess capacity. During a virtual meeting last week, the leaders acknowledged the need for effective solutions that preserve our critical industries, and agreed to chart a path that ends the WTO disputes following the U.S. application of tariffs on imports from the EU under section 232.”

How do we use our tools of trade? Is trade beneficial to everyone or just some? What about our partners and allies: is it best to have free trade with them at all times? If so, what if they affect us badly, do we let that go or should we retaliate with tariffs and sanctions? Do you think it was the best decision for the US and the EU to escalate their differences and work together?

Today America's Moderate Voice meets with Dan Sally, the host and creator of the podcast "You Don't Have to Yell." We will be discussing electoral reforms. What are the current issues of America's electoral system? What have been the consequences: politically and socially? What are the possible alternatives Americans may use? How will this affect the United States moving forward?

On May 3rd, President Joe Biden revised the U.S. annual refugee admissions cap. He has reviewed the previous levels, which were a historic low, and decided to raise it. According to a White House statement by the president, he said the following: "Today, I am revising the United States’ annual refugee admissions cap to 62,500 for this fiscal year. This erases the historically low number set by the previous administration of 15,000, which did not reflect America’s values as a nation that welcomes and supports refugees."

We must consider now, does the US have the responsibility of taking in more refugees now, or could it have wait? Where should our focus be: national security or humanitarian efforts? How will taking in more refugees, as Biden hopes to propose in the next fiscal year, affect the United States moving forward?

Today on our show we have Conor Bronsdon joining the show. He is the host of the Podcast: Growing the Green Economy. We talk about President Joe Biden's American Jobs Plan and the future of American green energy tech.

Our story today begins with North Korea and its response to President Biden’s address to Congress. On April 28th, President Biden made his first address as president to Congress. Here he addressed contemporary issues like the coronavirus pandemic, as well as bills he looks forward to potentially signing if the senate chooses to proceed with them. But we are not here to talk about his speech, but instead one specific part of it. And it will be that part in which we will ask ourselves, what does this mean for the United States? And where do we move forward from here?
