Hello listeners it is Thursday November 30th 2017 I'm Scott Bland your host and you

are listening to Polit off this week talking about the burgeoning scandal or actually group of scandals engulfing Capitol Hill right now that's

sexual harassment, sexual misconduct in the Capitol. We're going to talk about

some of the members who have been accused and what the response has been across the

political spectrum. It's been a big week for that, especially with the Dean of the House

Congressman John Conyers of Michigan getting engulfed in this and

ultimately House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi calling today for his resignation from Michigan's 13th District.

We're also going to talk a little bit about President Trump's Twitter feed which got a little bit out of

control even by his standards on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Nancy Cook's going to take us through how that derailed some major White House meetings

and brought international condemnation down on the White House.

And Nancy is also going to walk us through the ins and outs of tax reform, which is moving

at a breakneck pace through the Senate right now.

Some major announcements on that today could pass the Senate

in the next few days. Would still need to be the subject of some legislative wrangling between

the House and the Senate because those bills are different, but things are moving forward with the Republican tax plan, and

we're going to get into the details.

Before we do that, a quick note, please remember to send us questions if you have them at
