Description

How do we get the government back open again, and what’s really holding things up in Washington? Jack breaks down the latest funding fight, where healthcare spending is at the center of the standoff, and asks the big question: is this battle worth shutting down the government over?


Meanwhile, Trump’s budget ax is swinging again. What could it mean for key programs?


And back here in New York, the mayoral race just took another turn. With Eric Adams out, can Andrew Cuomo mount a comeback against Zohran Mamdani, the progressive favorite surging ahead in the polls? And if Mamdani wins, could that actually help Republicans across the state?


Jack dives into all that and more, cutting through the noise to make sense of the week’s biggest power moves in politics and government. Listen in!
