Renewing Democracy is a weekly podcast cutting through the partisan noise to tell you how Washington decisions impact daily life. Hosted in a clear, fact-driven, nonpartisan voice, each show connects the dots from DC to your kitchen table by tracing out how policies affect your job, healthcare, cost of living, and freedoms. In plain English, we break down what happened, why it matters, and what you can do about it because democracy works best when we all understand the rules of the game. Join us as co-owners of this American experiment, and take just one small step each week toward Renewing Democracy.

  • $1.8 Billion Slush Fund, Iran War and the Lies Trump is telling You
    May 25 2026

    Today, we are connecting the dots that mainstream news is keeping separate. We start with the staggering $1.8 billion IRS settlement payout and how it's being distributed with virtually zero oversight. Then, we dive into the latest updates from the war in Iran—exposing the specific claims Donald Trump is making to the public versus what is actually happening on the front lines.

    Most importantly, we bring it back home: what does a deadlocked foreign war and massive domestic self-dealing mean for your wallet, your grocery bills, and your future?

  • Will this Help Us or Hurt Us
    Apr 26 2026

    Episode 1: "Will This Help Us or Hurt Us?"

    In this first episode of Renewing Democracy, host Jeff Sites introduces the question that will drive every conversation on this podcast: will this help us -- or hurt us? Not Republicans. Not Democrats. All of us.

    Jeff shares why he's launching this show now, what three Congressional campaigns taught him about the growing divide in this country, and why he believes Americans are tired of the noise and ready for something different.

    This is not a left show. It's not a right show. It's an American show.
