Is this thing still on? It's been a while, chat! Crowder and Hertzler take some time to catch up on the biggest election stories for 2024. It's been a whirlwind... and there's still a month to go!

The Gov Guys discuss third parties. In our traditional two-party system, can another party really come in and make an impact? We look at some memorable third party moments as well as some of the barriers that prevent them from becoming mainstream.

Crowder and Hertzler talk about the formation, function, and history of political parties in the United States. This episode is more packed than an omnibus bill... and it's already a little dated, as we discuss the 3-week-long opening of the Speaker of the House position

The Gov Guys talk about the most important amendment outside of the Bill of Rights! What is Due Process? What is Equal Protection? How does the 14th Amendment expand our understanding of the Bill of Rights? At what point is this question trope worn out? The Gov Guys are going to need some help on this one!

Hertzler and Crowder discuss the first ten Amendments to the US Constitution, better known as the Bill of Rights. Crowder's voice is barely holding on, but if Michael Jordan can put up 38 points in his famous "Flu Game," then Crowder will have to settle in and risk it all. We're talking Civil Liberties here, so you have the right to remain silent... and listen to this episode.

The Gov Guys take a look at the first amendment! What is protected by the Constitution and what is not? The term "finagling" comes up a few times for unknown reasons. It's a good one, guys!

The Gov Guys take a look at the Bureaucracy. What is it? What does it do? How does it work? Why is it controversial? That's a lot of questions--we might need some help on this one!

Special Guest: Dan Roseman

The Gov Guys discuss the Judicial Branch

The Gov Guys look at the President, the Presidential Cabinet, the Bureaucracy, and all of the roles that the Executive Branch takes on! Crowder does a few impressions (badly), Hertzler sneaks in yet another T. Swift quote, and the Guys give some much needed Gerald Ford Trivia. It's something!
