Joining us this hour. Heres an interesting thing. Sort of a personal thing, but also a news thing. Right before President Trump was impeached the first time, i published a book called blow out and the weird surprising to me thing about blow out is that tended up being oddly well timed. I had no idea it was going to be well timed when i set out to write it, but thats how it landed. It was a book about the Oil And Gas Industry and the political power and geopolitical power of that industry. And a big chunk of that book was about all of the craziness and Corruption In Ukraine. And of course, then, right at the time the book came out, all the craziness and Corruption In Ukraine ended up being the setting, like the Playing Field for what President Trump got impeached for the first time he got impeached. I did not intend it to land that way. It was fortuitous and i hope helpful to people trying to figure out that landscape while we were looking at that first impeachment. Now, of course, mr.

Theyre sort of coming home to roost now. The whole reason i wrote that book is because i think we were pretty consistently underestimating the sway of this one industry, how much sway the Oil And Gas Industry has over politics and whole governments, both here in the United States and around the world. And so, i thought it would be helpful. I thoug

There is also a lot going on Behind The Scenes right now on capitol hill. It is about to spill out into public view. The Republican Party trying to figure out what to do with itself in this posttrump era. Who carries the mantle . Who do they stand with . Liz cheney, a lifelong republican, member of House Leadership who voted her conscience and explained very cleary to impeach donald trump and facing blowback. Or do they stand with Marjorie Taylor greene who is on video and online pushing wild, unfounded and antisemitic Conspiracy Theories. Sources telling cnn she has not given any indication that she wants to correct, reject and apologize for that. House republicans met late into the night last night about Marjorie Taylor greene and their future. This afternoon House Republicans will gather once again. The most immediate question is, do repub
To be a Police Officer his entire life. He hailed from a small town in new jersey, which would explain why he was apparently a diehard new Jersey Devils fan. He served overseas in the States Air National Guard before his tenure as a capitol Police Officer. According to his family, his life of service even extended to caring for rescue dogs in his spare time. The people who knew him remember him as a good son, brother, colleague and friend. We all thank him for his sacrifice and for defending our democracy back on january 6th. The ceremony inside the rotunda just wrapping up. We are watching that formal Ceremony Wind down.
