filibuster

On this day in 1917, the U.S. Senate adopted a rule that allowed a two-thirds majority to cut off debate and force a vote.

“Change The Conversation”

Outro Song: “The World Is On Fire” by American Aquarium 

http://www.americanaquarium.com/

This week Mark and Allen break down the Episode with special guest star Patton Oswalt! The City of Pawnee annually celebrates the great Pawnee tea dump of 1817, but due to how the old-timey script looks, "tea" looks like "ted", so each year the city dumps a man named "Ted" into Ramsett Lake. This year, the "Ted" thrown into the lake becomes very angry, and demands Leslie address the many, many outdated laws still active in Pawnee. To this end, at the next City Council Meeting, Leslie proposes the city purge many of its old and obscure laws. However, citizen Garth Blunden is overtly against changing the laws due to historical significance, and successfully filibusters the meeting to prevent further action. Leslie implores Garth to reconsider. Garth accuses Leslie of having no respect for tradition. Finally, they decide to settle things with a wager: whoever can survive the longest living primitively at the Pawnee Historical House gets to make the other back down from their agenda. Meanwhile, now that April has been promoted to Deputy Director of Animal Control, Chris requires her to complete the Chris Traeger Management Training Seminar, or "ka-tumps". April asks Ron to help get her out of the seminar, but when Chris learns Ron has ALSO never had any management training, it backfires, with Ron getting roped in as well. As one might expect, things do not go well: Chris is overtly cheery, Ron is stoic and grumpy, April is sarcastic and snarky. Ron and Chris completely disagree on the best motivational methods, so Chris challenges Ron to see whose method works best: encouragement/appreciation/smiles (Chris), or money/fear/hunger (Ron). Finally, Ann's custom holiday with Leslie, "Breakfast Day", is coming up, and she found a waffle maker from JJ's Diner on an online auction. Unfortunately, somebody is bidding against her ... and she discovers that someone is Ben, who is shopping for a present for HIS custom holiday with Leslie, "Waffle Day". The two of them battle it out, trying to win the waffle maker, but ultimately lose to the owner of the Pawnee Pawn Shop, who they then have to deal with. While all this is happening, both Ann and Ben come to the realization that they are EXHAUSTED trying to keep up with the thoughtful but never-ending custom holidays Leslie has come up with for both of them. As always, we tackle the tough questions, such as ... Who will win their competition, Leslie or Garth? Will Ron or Chris win the competition, and what side will April be on? Who will win the coveted JJ's waffle maker? Is Garth cheating, or is he just really good at old-timey gibberish? Can Ron and Chris find a suitable mindless worker drone for their test subject? Can Ann and Ben continue dealing with all these custom holidays? Can Leslie get all the chickens out from under her dress? Will April and Ron be able to keep their conductor hats from the seminar? Loyal podcast viewers, this is competition cranked up to 11, just like in Spinal Tap! Many thanks to our wonderful sponsor, "Ron's One Minute Seminars", or ROMS.

“Change The Conversation”

Outro Song: “The World Is On Fire” by American Aquarium 

http://www.americanaquarium.com/

On today's Breitbart News Daily podcast, we open with a quick breakdown of two major Supreme Court decisions that came down on Thursday, one that allows for Biden to kill Trump's "remain in Mexico" rule and another that lessens the power of the Environmental Protection Agency. Also, stocks are having their worst first two quarters in over 50 years. This should surprise no one, but it's yet another horrible strike against President Big Joey. Speaking of Mr. Biden, he spent yesterday trashing America from overseas and announced even more spending of your money that you haven't even earned yet on Ukraine. All of this should be scandalous, but our media doesn't seem to have time for this because, ya know, Orange Man Bad. Our "Woke Update" today includes details on the Democrats' proposed "trans bill of rights," a Netflix actress praising her mom for aborting her potential sibling, and a woman with a goatee and a neck beard going missing in Canada. Yes, really. Our first guest is Nashville Hall of Famer Jeffrey Steele, who debuts a a new song with us - "I'm an American" - in honor of Independence Day. We need artists like this right now. Then, we speak to Abby Johnson, a Planned Parenthood clinic director-turned-pro-life activist. She's among those who deserve credit for the big Supreme Court Roe decision. We get her thoughts on that and where she believes Planned Parenthood goes from here. She debunks all the lies.

Chairman Joe slams SCOTUS while overseas and his policies seek to make us all dependent on the Government. Biden has blood on his hands at the border. Meet the new J6 witness, "Hop-a-lie Cassidy" and MTG goes toe to toe with Jamie Raskin plus our liberal lunatic, Patriot and outrages of the week.

Harvard Kennedy School Professors Alex Keyssar and Archon Fung say the U.S. political system, stripped of a consensus belief in democratic principles, is racing down a dangerous road toward political and social upheaval and possible minority rule. American democracy, they tell PolicyCast host Ralph Ranalli, is in trouble to an extent not seen in many decades, possibly since the Civil War, or perhaps ever. If you believe in democracy as essentially one-person, one-vote, and as a system where every voter has a roughly equal say in how our country is governed, then frankly, you would never design a system of elections and governance like the one in the United States. But the U.S. system wasn’t built for that. It was built, compromise piled upon compromise, to somehow accommodate people with very different views—about what the country should be and who should have the power to decide—inside one system that, at a minimum, everyone could at least live with. But now, stripped of a consensus acceptance of underlying democratic principles by a Republican Party pursuing power at any cost, they say the same compromises that were designed to protect minority opinions are being exposed as mortal flaws that can allow for what would effectively be minority rule. And there seems to be little in the way of systemic failsafes to stop it. Alex Keyssar is a renowned historian and scholar on the American political system. Archon Fung is a leading political scientist and heads the democratic governance programs of the Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation. They’re here to talk about what they call a dynamic, disturbing, and potentially very dangerous time for American democracy.

Vincent and Joel sit down with Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, Jaime Harrison, and discuss how Mr. Harrison got started in politics, the filibuster, how National Politics has gotten away from statesmanship, the challenges facing South Carolina, the trappings of political power, a South Carolina Supreme Court Justice, and so much more. They address voting rights and registration, the two party system, ballot design strategy,  ballot bias, and how freedom to vote is central to democracy.
