Summary and Timeline Outline
In this episode of the “We Are Speaking Podcast,” Pamela Hilliard Owens, in partnership with her husband Keith Owens, discusses various pressing issues in American culture, politics, and education from a black perspective.
They are particularly disturbed by a potential government shutdown slated for November 17th, 2023, which they attribute to the reluctance of the House of Representatives to pass the necessary bill.
Keith and Pamela also analyze President Biden's administration, praising it for its handling of the country's pandemic-stricken economy. They caution against the danger of misinformation, emphasizing the significant accomplishments of Biden and Kamala Harris.
They end the podcast by focusing on recent developments within the Democrats, particularly the non-re-election bid of Senator Joe Manchin and the potential complications that third-party and independent candidates pose for the Democrats.
