Former Rep. Dan Lipinski, Democrat from the Chicago area, and Reid Ribble, Republican from Wisconsin, join Sarah and Steve about how Congress works or doesn’t work, rather. The two former elected officials highlight the failures of the House of Representatives with troubling personal stories and insights. Fair warning, this conversation is as distressing as it is informative. Plus, stick around to hear what the Wisconsinite and Illinoisian think about this weekend’s Packers vs. Bears game.
Show Notes:
I will say it again, the $100 I spent on The Dispatch is some of thew best money I have ever spent! I would love if someone read this comment and responded with an answer to my following question, from someone who feels as if he is not part of this discussion really , (No 4 year degree, basically a construction worker who struggles to find time to understand the workings of the world we live in but that these podcasts open up to me)
1. Sarah/Steve/anyone, this info can lead to some depairing thoughts, why do I sense an underlying hopefulness or conviction to steadiness from you or your guests? Most of the podcasts tend to be that way from my humble point of view. Much of the info presented can lead in the opposite direction of looking up but it's not dark like it could be.
2. Do we have real cause for concern? I know nobody knows the future for sure but which way are things headed from your point of view, i.e. steady, better or worse?
3. I think historically great, GOOD leaders arise in times that are extremely difficult (Churchhill, the Maccabees, Abe, 👀iinsert favorite) Do you think one or some could arise today that are in the leadership stratus presently? Does anyone know personnally someone who fits the bill? I just found out recently from reading the comments that David's name was actually floated for running which really amazed me because I think so highly of him.
A wonderfully depressing podcast. This is why I became a member. Thank you team.
