Backroom Politics

News from Capitol Hill is that a BI-PARTISAN deal has been reached that would prevent a Government shutdown... according to Republican and Democratic Leadership...NO ONE GOT EVERYTHING THEY WANTED!  Can they convince the President to sign the deal?  What options are available for the President to get "his wall"?  How will this deal sit with "The Base"?  It is being reported that the Senate Intelligence Committee may be close to coming up with a final determination regarding the Russia collusion issue.  While they are still developing the report, Committee Chairman Richard Burr (R-NC) hints that there was "no collusion found" between the Trump Campaign and the Russians.  What does this news mean for the Mueller investigation?  Does this let POTUS and the Campaign off the hook?

The Governor (a Democrat) has a picture of 'an individual in blackface and an individual in a KKK uniform' on his own page in the yearbook at Medical School from 1984...The Lieutenant Governor (a Democrat)  has new sexual assault allegations come up from the 2004 Democratic Convention...The Attorney General (a Democrat) ADMITS that there are pictures of him in blackface out there in the interweb... our question is HOW DID THIS POLITICAL SITUATION BECOME SUCH A MESS IN RICHMOND?!? We will discuss the race card, the use of opposition research, political ambush tactics, and where do we go from here?

The President gives his second State of the Union Address to the joint session of Congress.  We discuss what the expectations are for POTUS...will Trump stay on script?  Who is the TRUE audience that he will be speaking to?  And now that Government is back at work what does life look like after the longest government shutdown in American history?

This week, we go IN DEPTH about leadership in Government.  Who is demonstrating it?  Who has the capacity for it?  Is it Trump? Is it Pelosi?  Is it someone else?  We take a look at leadership in DC... a trait despirately needed in politics right now.

As the Government Shutdown enters the 4th week... concerns about how federal employees and government contractors are coping with missing their paycheck   Is the President's proposed comprimise enough for Congress to turn the lights on again?  We will also discuss the human factor of the shut down and the border control issue.

We discuss the Government Shutdown.  We go in-depth about who is affected, how big is the impact of this Shutdown, and the personal impacts of how the Shutdown is hitting the people who put their lives on the line everyday...without pay.  Listen to analysis from some of Washington's most impactful insiders.

The New York Times and Washington Post articles that have become a thorn in the side of the White House...The Republican Steve King Problem....and The Surprises from the William Barr Hearing as he awaits confirmation as the next Attorney General.

Secretary Mattis is leaving... panic ensues in DC.  The government shutdown is focused on the crisis on the southern border...but is there REALLY a crisis?

It is our first show of 2019 AND DO WE HAVE A LOT TO TALK ABOUT!  Between Government Shutdown and the continuing crisis of uncertainty at the White House... Big Show today!

Trump has been floating names of who will take over chief of staff, a previously coveted position... Will he be able to fill the position and who will accept? and over the past 365 day there have been countless news headlines reported... but which was topped the list?
