This week on Facing the Future, we will look at the fiscal and policy impact of President Biden's controversial decision to forgive up to $20,000 in debt for every student who owes money on loans to pay for college. It could cost taxpayers another half a trillion dollars. And we'll also take a look at what might be holding Congress up as they face a deadline of exactly one month to pass a stop-gap budget measure to keep the government funded and avoid another costly federal shutdown.

Ken Cail welcomes two special guests on to his show Eric Lindberg and Brad Myrick.

Singer, multi-instrumentalist, & composer Eric Lindberg has several albums of original music, deftly blending blues, funk, Americana, & more.

Brad Myrick is a composer, multi-instrumentalist, arranger, producer, educator & music businessman. Brad is also the founder and co-owner of NH Music Collective, a booking, production, and artist development business.

Or will it amp it up even further? The panel dives into why Democrats are gaining ground, and whether President Biden's big move on student debt is the right thing to do both economically and politically. Plus, Lindsay Graham makes the MAGA hostage threat explicit: stay away from Trump, or the base will attack (again). Does that mean prosecutors should back off?

Today on "Cail & Company LIVE," we welcome Chris Maidment. Chris is a political activist and former reporter at NH Journal and is currently the grassroots organizer at Americans for Prosperity NH.

In the past week, Republican attacks on the Inflation Reduction Act around how it funds tax enforcement have gotten downright scary, claiming that the IRS will use the additional funding to hire thousands of armed agents and threaten Americans’ life and liberty. It's nonsense, but it's nothing new.

Back in December, we did an episode of Great Ideas that ran through the myths, realities, and partisan lies that were emerging then about tax enforcement...and most of it applies just as much now as it did then.

On today's episode of "Cail & Company LIVE," Ken interviews Rick Santos, the head coach for the New Hampshire Wildcats football team. Ken also chats about some current events regarding the NASA Rocket Launch and more!

Editor Jeff Feingold of the New Hampshire Business Review discusses the NH delegation signing onto a SCOTUS amicus brief for 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis and housing in the Manchester, NH area. More from them at https://nhbr.com

Host Chris Ryan looks at what's been a disappointing preseason for the Patriots and goes in-depth on the New Hampshire Fisher Cats-Toronto Blue Jays connection with All-Star Santiago Espinal and Manager John Schneider.

We work very hard on this show to get out of our bubble and challenge our perceptions about what is happening, so that we don't end up just living in a political echo chamber. There’s no better way to do that for Democrat than to hear from one the very top Republican pollsters working today.

Right now, the big question is whether there is a real shift going on in politics...is it just a case of Democrats over tilting on a bit of good news, or is it based on real, tangible signs that voters' fundamental views and drivers of politics are changing? We've heard from Democratic analysts, and now, we get insights from Whit Ayres, a leading Washington, D.C. political consultant with over 30 years of experience in polling and survey research for high profile political campaigns and associations. He’s the Founder and President of North Star Opinion Research, a national public opinion and public affairs research firm where he provides message development and strategic insights to high level political clients including Marco Rubio, Lindsey Graham, Jim Inhofe, John Kennedy, and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Whit’s comments and analysis appear in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, USA Today, and numerous regional newspapers as well as National Public Radio.

Ken Cail interviews Kitty Rae the OFFICIAL "Flick Chick," and Tom Raffio, President & CEO of Northeast Delta Dental, joins the show to chat about tonight's CHAD event at Delta Dental Stadium.
