    Political Theater: The highs, lows and weirds of the White House beat

Roll Call Chief Correspondent Niels Lesniewski has been at the helm for a little over four years and shares his experiences as he prepares for a new assignment in the newsroom: The highlights, the lowlights and the weirdlights.

    Political Theater: The changing 2024 Senate landscape

    Political Theater: The changing 2024 Senate landscape

    Lost in this year’s highly competitive presidential nominating contest (sarcasm detector!) is the coming-at-you primaries for House and Senate that kicked off with a bang on Super Tuesday. We got some clarity about fall matchups in some high-profile races on that most special of Tuesdays, and some of that clarity came from folks who were not even facing the voters. With us to discuss is Jacob Rubashkin, deputy editor of Inside Elections.

    Political Theater: What we talk about when we talk about Super Tuesday

    Political Theater: What we talk about when we talk about Super Tuesday

    Tuesdays can get a bad rap. Sometimes the best that can be said about them are that they're the day that's the furthest from next Monday. But not Super Tuesday! More than a quarter of the House of Representatives faces a primary race on March 5, and there are two high-profile Senate races as well. And while not all of Super Tuesday's races are competitive, there are major implications for November’s general election, especially in California, Texas, North Carolina and Alabama. We’ll discuss the major races and stories shaping up for Super Tuesday with Roll Call campaign reporters Mary Ellen McIntire and Daniela Altimari.

    Equal Time with Mary C. Curtis: How increased Black home ownership can put a dent in the racial wealth gap

    Equal Time with Mary C. Curtis: How increased Black home ownership can put a dent in the racial wealth gap

    Despite record-low Black unemployment and a higher labor force participation rate than Whites, major barriers impede homeownership among African Americans, a fact that contributes to a yawning racial wealth gap. The gap is so expansive that the 400 wealthiest Americans control the same amount of wealth as the 48 million Blacks living in the United States. Importantly, however, there are solutions.
    Dr. Courtney Johnson Rose serves as President of the National Association of Real Estate Brokers (NAREB), the premier network of Black real estate professionals and one of the oldest minority trade associations in the country with more than 100 chapters nationwide. The organization is sponsoring a Black Wealth Tour in cities around the country, with Dr. Rose and NAREB representatives leading classes, workshops, and one-on-one counseling to advise families on home buying, investing, and careers in real estate. 
    With her background – both personal and professional – in the field, Dr. Rose is prepared to tackle this challenge. And she is my guest on this episode of Equal Time.

Quick, easy to digest and always a non-partisan, unbiased opinion. Great for the morning commute to help you stay ahead.

According to these guys, Hispanics have a moral right to be lobbyists for the military because they’ve been oppressed.
If you enjoy that sort of thing, you’ll love this!

I can’t believe the hate & bashing I heard on this episode! It’s sad that it has crept into every aspect of life, even hiding under the guise of Pro-Israel! Just another partisan podcast pushing deception! Disappointing!
