Congress and White House in Stand-Off Over Investigations Guest: Chris Karpowitz, Professor of Political Science, Co-Director of the Center for the Study of Elections and Democracy, BYU; Grant Madsen, Professor of History, BYU Democrats who control the House of Representatives want to see the full, unredacted Mueller Report and documents that support the report’s conclusions. They’re threatening to hold US Attorney General William Barr in contempt if he fails to provide it. The Trump Administration is also resisting Congressional subpoenas for President Trump’s tax returns and other documents related to his businesses. Democrats in Congress say the White House is stonewalling their duty to conduct oversight of the administration. President Trump says it’s “presidential harassment” and an effort to distract from the good work he’s doing for the economy. The End of Recycling Guest: David Biderman CEO and Executive Director of SWANA (Solid Waste Association of North America) Now that recycling is ubiquitous and practically second nature for Americans, the system is falling apart. Cities used to be able to sell the paper, plastic and aluminum from our recycle bins and even turn a profit, occasionally. But now they’re more likely to have to pay someone to take it off their hands –which explains why many cities are resorting to just dumping recyclables in the landfill or burning them for electricity. When Cecilia Mcgough Was Diagnosed with Schizophrenia, She Sought to Help Others and Change the Perception of the Mental Illness Guest: Cecilia McGough, CEO and Founder of Students with Schizophrenia The first indication of schizophrenia often appears in young adulthood. That’s also when many are experiencing the stresses of college life. The combination can be lethal. It nearly was for Cecilia McGough who attempted suicide her freshman year in college. She was finally able to get a diagnosis and treatment for her schizophrenia. And then she turned to helping other young people overcome the stigma.  Charity Empowe
