With Russia's invasion into Ukraine, we have seen The West - US, NATO, and other allies - condemn the act and impose harsh sanctions. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian people fight for their freedom.

In a Tik Tok video (linked below) I wondered why only sanctions? And the response was "nukes." But where do we draw the line in our fear of nuclear war? At what point must our inaction turn to action even in the face of such destruction. I answer that question and more in this in-depth podcast on the topic.

We all like to complain that nothing ever gets done in Washington, but I promise you that this budget bill is not one of those situations. Yes, even Republicans should be supportive of this bill that finally delivers for the middle class. The Pod Save America Podcast said last week that "we" need to be doing more to promote this kind of legislation, so I am doing my part! In this video, I focus don't the substance of this bill and how it will affect my life, and your life, and the lives of the people around us.

The key piece of the Biden agenda is a $3.5T dollar spending bill, being called a social safety net. But Senators Manchin and Sinema don't like the price tag. I analyze the bill and what Americans would get as far as value. I examine the failure of Democratic messaging, as well as the danger Senators Manchin and Sinema are creating for Democrats - and the country - if this bill should not pass prior to the midterms. 

Please rate and review, and let me know how I am doing!

The COVID pandemic continues to dominate news even as we have withdrawn from Afghanistan, seen restrictive abortion laws passed, and have major infrastructure and budget bills moving forward. 
With case counts, hospitalizations, and deaths from COVID up, Joe Biden released a 6-part plan last week that includes vaccine mandates that affect 100 million Americans. Many on the right have criticized this as a violation of their rights. 
In this episode, I will explore whether it is a violation of rights, why we have a mandate at all, and finally a breakdown of the division amongst Americans and how the politicization of COVID has resulted in the needless deaths of thousands of Americans.

The situation in Afghanistan is a chaotic one, and while the evacuation from Kabul has been at the forefront, conversations about where to place blame have also prevailed. It is easy with Afghanistan to only focus on this singular moment, but this has been a 20-year war across 4 presidencies. This episode starts with 9/11 and looks at each phase of the conflict and all the players - The US, the Taliban, Bin Laden, the Afghan Government, and the roles each US President played in their terms. 
There's very likely information in this episode you didn't know. My hope is to highlight the complexity of this situation and how even though the events we see today are no one's fault, they are also everyone's fault. 

The Senate passes the Infrastructure Bill and moves forward with the Budget Plan. There's a new Jeopardy host! Rand Paul was naughty with stocks, the situation worsens in Afghanistan and of course, how could I not cover COVID - Delta Variant style - again. Just another jam-packed week of The Nu Deal Podcast!

This episode focuses exclusively on the infrastructure bill, aka, The American Jobs Plan, that was approved for debate in the Senate last week. I discuss what is in this version of the bill, what key provisions were left out, why there are funding issues for the bill and finally, I explore why this bill could set a dangerous precedent if it moves forward in its current state.

This week, I focus on bipartisanship and try to determine whether or not it's a myth. Is there a lack of bipartisanship, or just overwhelming obstructionism? Does current proposed legislation have mass appeal, or does it only help a narrow section of Americans? You'll find the answers here. I also delve into this week's headlines, from flooding and wildfires to the delta variant and Trump's latest misstep.

In an unprecedented move, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi denied the Minority Leader two of his committee picks for the House January 6th Commission. Citing their previous statements on the issue, she rejected Jim Jordan and Jim Banks. House GOP threatens to pull members from the commission, and Liz Cheney slams Kevin McCarthy on his obstructionism.
