Episode Details

It's been called "The World's Greatest Deliberative Body."  One-third of its members are elected every two years, and serve six year terms.  Presided over by the Vice President of the United States.  We are of course talking about the United State Senate.  The Founders created the Senate with a purpose, to be a place when debate happens as a "House of Reason."  To walk us through the Senate and what separates it from the way the House of Representatives does business, we are thrilled to have two guests on our show this week.  Josh Holmes, host of the popular "Ruthless" podcast, served as Chief of Staff to Speaker Mitch McConnell from 2010-2013 and also worked in the U. S. House of Representatives.  Jade West served as Staff Director of the U.S. Senate Republican Policy Committee and as Executive Director of the U.S. Senate Steering Committee.
