Here to discuss everything you need to know about classified documents and the differences between the cases of Biden and Trump is Joseph Moreno. Moreno is a former federal prosecutor and has over 20 years of experience in the national security space.

In the first Beerocracy! episode of 2023, I am joined by Theresa Cardinal Brown who is the Managing Director of Immigration and Cross-Border Policy at the Bipartisan Policy Center to discuss immigration in America. The situation at the Southern border has been occupying the air waves and a primary talking point among politicians, but what's the full story? Luckily, Theresa helps explain how the current immigration system came to be, Biden's newly released immigration plan, and the ways in which the immigration system is broken.
This episode is a long one but I promise, the entire conversation is informative and necessary to understand the full picture of Southern-border immigration in America.

On September 16th, 2022, a young woman named Mahsa Amini was pronounced dead in a hospital in Tehran, Iran. Her crime? Wearing her hijab incorrectly. She was beaten by the "morality police" and ultimately died from her injuries. Since her death, the Iranian people have been in a fierce battle with the oppressive government that currently runs the country.
Luckily, we have Iranian expert, Behnam Ben Taleblu, to break down how Mahsa's death became the tipping point for the long simmering anger of the Iranian people. He is the Senior Fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and provides important insights on the situation in Iran, discussing the past, present, and future.

We're back with J. Miles Coleman, the Associate Editor of Sabato's Crystal Ball, to unpack the results of the 2022 Midterms! What had been predicted to be a "red wave" turned out to be more like a small red puddle. The Republicans gained control of the House, but no matter the outcome of the Georgia Special Senate election, the Democrats will be keeping control of the Senate for the next two years.

Beerocracy! is back! After a month of trying to give the issue of gun violence the time it deserves, I'm happy to finally be able to put out this episode with my wonderful guest from the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence.
I'm joined by Tanya Schardt, Senior Counsel and Director of State and Federal Policy at the Brady Center to unpack one of America's worst qualities: gun violence. With over 40,000 deaths a year contributed to gun violence in America and the surprising fact that mass shootings only account for 2% of gun related deaths, there is a lot to unpack as to how gun violence has become an unfortunate realty of daily life in America. Listen to us talk about how gun violence has become a public health epidemic, the bad actors at play, and what needs to happen to put a stop to this man-made epidemic.
