The conversation centers on the end of the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, which lasted 43 days. Matt Gagnon discusses President Trump’s blame game against the Democrats and a poll suggesting more Americans blame the GOP. He argues that the shutdown was a political stunt by the Democrats, particularly Senate Democrats led by Chuck Schumer, to appease their base and fight Trump. Gagnon criticizes both parties for using the shutdown for political gain, highlighting the inefficacy of the filibuster in the Senate. He concludes that the shutdown was a pointless exercise, causing widespread disruptions without achieving any significant political or policy goals.
Matt is joined by security analyst Josh Filler. Josh is an attorney and former New York City, White House, and Department of Homeland Security official, bringing deep national security experience to the conversation.
