We have many problems in our politics. But the biggest problem to me is political cowardice. Our politicians have little integrity these days. They govern by fear. We found out the Las Vegas Raiders coach John Gruden is a POS and it turns out the Federal Unemployment payments weren't the reason people weren't going back to work. Let's get into it.

Be careful of who you put on a pedestal. Why is it called entitlements when the government serves the people? Especially when that's what they were elected to do. We all agree that term limits would benefit this country. So why don't we have term limits? Let's get into it.

Texas passed a ridiculous law banning abortion in the state. Then a Federal Judge blocked the ban. Two days later an Appeals Court reinstated the ban. I don't think Republicans understand the trouble they are asking for from the women of this country. The House Oversight Committee is looking into some of Donald Trump's hotel business. Wait until you hear why and what they found. And you thought that Trump was brazen when he pressured the Georgia Secretary of State to overturn the election. You have no idea. Let's get into it.

I'm a bit annoyed by some shenanigans on Tik Tok. We know that Donald Trump worked very hard to overturn the 2020 election by suggesting there was election fraud. The Judiciary Committee released a 400 page report after a lengthy investigation. It turns out what Donald Trump did was far worse that we imagined. Let's get into it.

Mitch McConnell has refused to allow the Democrats to raise the Debt Ceiling. He not only refused to help he intentionally attempted to block. Well Mr. Tough Guy Mitch McConnell changed his tune and he caved, flinched, blinked. A federal judge in Austin Texas issued orders to block the six week abortion ban. Former Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino under Mark Meadows during the Trump era was supposed to get a subpoena from the House Select Committee, but he is in the wind and has yet to be served. Let's get into it.

The economic future of this country is hanging in the balance as we wait for or representatives to raise the Debt Ceiling. Now the Debit Ceiling will be raised because it has to be. If not it will be economically catastrophic for each and everyone of us. The question is how is it going to get done? The House Select Committee to investigate the Insurrection issued subpoenas and promised things will be popping very soon. Those subpoenas are coming due this week and next week. Let's get into it.

From the Debt Ceiling to the reconciliation Infrastructure Bill, Mitch McConnell and the Republican Party have been nothing but obstructionists. They've proven that they clearly don't care about the people of this country. They are more concerned with "owning" the Democrats then doing the job they were elected to. Let's get into it.

We have a lot of things to cover in this episode. An update of my road trip debacle. Another huge oil spill off the coast of California. Trump is suing Twitter. Facebook getting heat over their part in the January 6th Insurrection and the antiquated rules that do nothing but hurt we the people. Let's get into it.

We start things off with questions and comments from listeners. Then we segue right into the two Infrastructure Bills that we've been going back and forth on. The Bipartisan Bill was supposed to clear the House on Thursday but it didn't happen. Don't worry about it though because they are back on it Friday morning. People are worried about the $3.5 trillion dollar Reconciliation Bill price tag. But let's look at it from a different angle. Let's get into it.

Our government was intended to work together, negotiate in good faith and compromise for the betterment of this country and it's people. Unfortunately that's not how it is work. Democrats and Republicans are nothing more than adversarial. There's no negotiation and certainly no compromise. It is the polar opposite of how this country was created as a Republic and a Democracy. When this happens nothing gets done for this country and it's people. This is a huge problem. Let's get into it.
