Description

In this explosive episode, Lee and Terry unpack the ongoing government shutdown — now among the longest in U.S. history. They discuss Speaker Mike Johnson’s push for a clean budget bill, Democrats’ demand for expanded health care, and the Republican resistance to ending the filibuster. The conversation dives deep into the Democrats’ long-term strategy to consolidate power, the role of Trump in keeping military pay flowing, and the broader implications for America’s democratic system. From free health care for illegal immigrants to threats of court-packing and election federalization, the hosts lay out why this fight is about much more than just government funding — it’s about the future of American governance itself.
