Topic: Congressional Record

Greg Carlwood welcomes Jen Briney, host of the Congressional Dish podcast, back to the program to discuss her research into the congressional record. Briney specializes in reading and interpreting the actual text of bills passed by the House and Senate to identify corporate influence and government corruption. The conversation focuses on how legislative documents and trade agreements often hide the "conspiratorial tiptoe" toward total corporate control.

Jennifer Briney joins the show to discuss her work reading and summarizing every bill that passes through the House of Representatives. She explains that her process began as a personal quest to understand how government works because she felt mainstream news focused too much on political "horse races" rather than spending. Briney emphasizes that all this information is available in the public domain via the Congressional Record for anyone with a laptop or tablet.
