Let's Talk About Midterms (Ft. University Students)

Let's Talk About Midterms (Ft. University Students)

Midterms are right around the corner, and so are primaries! What do the people need to know about them, though? Today on Civic Chit-Chat, we talked about how midterms are operated, processes to get citizens-driven initiatives onto the ballot, and a brief history of Midterms. I also ventured out onto a college campus to chat with some students about their perspectives on midterms, media, and politics in general! Talk about this subject with me on Civic Chit-Chat.

Let's Talk About the SAVE America Act

The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (or the SAVE America Act) has sparked a lot of discussion in politics. With Midterms coming up, creating additional requirements for voter registration may deter people from participating in the elections.  Why is that, though, and is it a realistic thing to worry about? Listen to my friend, Jasmine, who joined us for this episode, and me as we talk about this subject on Civic Chit-Chat.

Let's Talk About Government Shutdowns

Let's Talk About the Establishment Clause (ft. Dr. Phillip Marcin)

Found in the U.S. Constitution, the Establishment Clause prevents the government from passing laws that favor one religious practice over another.  In recent times, however, some states have begun passing laws requiring the Ten Commandments to be featured in classrooms and sometimes in government buildings. How legal is this, though? Come yap about it with me and our guest speaker, Dr. Phillip Marcin, on this episode of Civic Chit-Chat!

Let's Talk ICE

The United States has many federal agencies that make the country operate. One of those is the Department of Homeland Security, often referred to as DHS.  On today's episode, we'll be discussing one of DHS's most talked-about agencies right now, ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement). Join me as we talk about various events related to ICE in recent times, the history of the agency, and review how biased an episode of The Ben Shapiro Show is when discussing the subject.
