Thanks to Trump unifying the party and Democrat overreach, Republicans have surprisingly held strong on the shutdown. We first delve into a new, dangerous agreement to defend Qatar in case of war. At a time of global intifada being fomented by the Muslim Brotherhood, why is there no outcry about elevating Qatar to de facto NATO status? Next, we're joined by Rep. Andy Harris (R-Md.), the chairman of the House Freedom Caucus. He notes how Republicans have a chance to win not only the government shutdown fight but the Obamacare subsidy fight by countering the narrative on health care. Sadly, they are hampered by a lack of numbers in Congress, but Harris argues that the Freedom Caucus' influence is growing. He says candidates are approaching the group a year in advance and pledging to join the merry band of conservative warriors.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

HEADLINE: US Fiscal Crisis and the Politics of Debt GUEST NAME: Veronique de Rugy SUMMARY: John Batchelor speaks with Veronique de Rugy about the federal budget impasse and America's escalating debt crisis. The government has been operating solely on borrowed money since September 21, adding $2 trillion annually to the debt. Both parties avoid addressing fundamental fiscal problems through continuing resolutions that extend previous spending levels. Republicans claim fiscal responsibility while adding to the debt, and Democrats leverage shutdown threats to expand Obamacare subsidies. De Rugy argues that only entitlement reform of Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security can solve the crisis, along with ending private sector subsidies and reducing federal involvement in state affairs. 1870 NEW ORLEANS

The Senate tries again to fund the government and reopen Washington, but it fails, with the same three Democrats voting yes, but no additional takers. Are Republicans preparing to cave on extending emergency pandemic ObamaCare subsidies? Does the White House see this as an opening to remake the civil service?

On this episode of WTH Extra! Dany and Marc discuss Marc's column, Democrats shut down the government to protect covid spending, not Obamacare. In the umpteenth government shutdown in recent memory, Democrats have decided that permanent COVID subsides for healthcare, already extended and phased out by a Democrat-controlled government, are more essential than keeping the government open. But… are Republicans actually considering agreeing to D demands? And for Democrats… why another effort at self-immolation? Marc makes it clear, “Democrats claim they are trying to preserve the Obamacare tax credits. Wrong. They're trying to preserve American Rescue Plan tax credits. The pandemic emergency officially ended in 2023. There is no rationale for extending COVID relief spending two years later.”Read the transcript here.Subscribe to our Substack here.

In this episode of Passing Judgment, host Jessica Levinson is joined by Politico's Nicholas Wu to break down the causes and consequences of the ongoing government shutdown. They discuss how partisan divides, failed budget talks, and the Senate filibuster have led to a halt in government services and potential spikes in healthcare costs. Nicholas shares what this means for everyday Americans, the political strategies on both sides, and why the shutdown could last for weeks. Tune in for a clear explanation of how we got here, what's happening now, and what may come next on Capitol Hill.Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss:1. How the Government Shutdown Happened: Nicholas Wu lays out the basic process of government funding through appropriations bills in Congress. He explains that both the House and Senate Appropriations Committees are supposed to agree on funding for each agency by September 30th. This year, they failed to come to an agreement, and attempts at a stopgap measure (a continuing resolution) fell through, triggering the shutdown.2. Partisan Gridlock & Narrow Legislative Majorities: A recurring theme is the impact of narrow majorities in Congress and the difficulties that creates for reaching agreements. Wu highlights that with such close margins, especially in the Senate due to the filibuster rule, bipartisan cooperation is necessary but often lacking. The lack of communication between parties and between Congress and the White House is also emphasized as fueling the stalemate.3. Impact of the Shutdown on Everyday Americans: The conversation shifts to what the shutdown actually means for federal services and the public. Wu notes that the effect varies depending on where people interact with the federal government. Essential services (like air traffic control) keep running, but might do so without pay, while some non-essential services are halted, affecting federal workers and potentially local economies.Follow Our Host: @LevinsonJessica

Brittany Madni, Executive Vice President of the Economic Policy Innovation Center (EPIC), joins The Steve Gruber Show to expose a shocking misuse of taxpayer dollars, sex offenders receiving benefits through Medicaid and Obamacare. Madni argues it's time to stop subsidizing evil and demand accountability in how government programs are administered. This conversation shines a light on the moral and financial costs of a broken system.

Jon Herold dives into day two of the government shutdown, unpacking the fight over Democrat demands for expanded Obamacare subsidies and health benefits for non-citizens. He highlights Trump's meeting with Russ Vought and the unprecedented opportunity to slash bloated federal agencies during the shutdown, tying it back to Trump's past remarks on fraud and the need for an “unprecedented cure.” The episode also explores a newly issued DoD directive on irregular warfare, connecting it to information ops and Trump's acknowledgment of domestic psyops. From Kash Patel ending FBI partnerships with the ADL to billions in climate and DEI funding being cut, Walmart dropping synthetic dyes, and even the Pope blessing ice at a climate conference, Herold blends sharp analysis with pointed humor. Updates on crypto, Fed rate cuts, and the reopening of questions about Andrew Weissman round out a packed show that exposes the deep state's games and Trump's counterpunches.

Jon Herold pre-records this edition while heading out on a quick trip but still packs it full of sharp analysis. He opens with updates on the government shutdown, CNN's spin on “enhanced Obamacare subsidies,” and Russ Vought's latest moves targeting blue-state projects. Herold digs into fresh FBI whistleblower revelations on Biden's Ukraine dealings, the quiet setup for a major corruption bombshell, and Barry Weiss's surprising rise to CBS News. He examines Kash Patel's testimony on Antifa funding and the slippery slope of social media “clickbait” censorship before diving into the biggest story of the day, Trump formally declaring war on drug cartels as terrorist organizations. By framing cartel operations as acts of war, Trump asserts extraordinary wartime powers, opening the door to bold new legal and constitutional arguments. Herold connects the move to devolution theories, wartime precedent, and the broader battle against America's enemies.

The federal government shut down on Wednesday as President Donald Trump threatened mass federal layoffs. Republicans are blaming Democrats for the shutdown, while Democrats are refusing to support a Republican spending bill without guarantees to extend Obamacare provisions set to expire and reverse GOP health care cuts earlier this year.“Democrats are ... trying to reverse some of the cuts from the 'One Big Beautiful Bill' that was passed earlier this year to Medicaid,” says Intercept politics reporter Jessica Washington. “So what Democrats are really trying to message here is that they're fighting for health care, both to reverse some of these Medicaid cuts and also to ensure that the Affordable Care Act subsidies continue.”This week on The Intercept Briefing, senior politics reporter Akela Lacy speaks to Washington about the government shutdown and the impact it will have on public services, including essential services and federal workers.We're also following a federal court case where an appointee of Ronald Reagan blasted the Trump administration for unlawfully targeting pro-Palestine students for protected speech. “It's a historic ruling that rightly affirms that the First Amendment protects non-citizens lawfully present in the U.S. just as it protects citizens,” says Ramya Krishnan, lecturer at Columbia University Law School and senior staff attorney at the Knight First Amendment Institute, which represented plaintiffs in the case. “And if free speech means anything in this country, it means the government can't lock you up simply because it disagrees with your political views.”Listen to the full conversation of The Intercept Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.You can support our work at theintercept.com/join.

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women's Forum fills in for Jim on the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch. Join Inez and Greg as they explain why the government shutdown gives President Trump the opportunity for DOGE 2.0, how the assassination of Charlie Kirk gives college administrators more ability to stifle conservative speech on campus, Hamas asking for absurd changes to the Gaza plan, and Islamist terrorism in England.First, they welcome President Trump's plans to cut parts of government through powers he holds during this government shutdown. Inez explains what Trump and OMB Director Russell Vought can do in this situation and how it is long overdue.They also focus briefly on the Dems' demand for extending Obamacare subsidies. Inez details how the high cost of health care is just one of countless ways the right has been proven right about the disaster of Obamacare.Next, they revisit Inez's concerns from last month that the Charlie Kirk assassination would give colleges and universities a more plausible reason to reject conservative speakers on campus. The security needs are just too expensive. New York University Law School is proving her right. NYU Law refused to allow the campus chapter of the Federalist Society to host Ilya Shapiro on October 7. NYU officials say the likelihood of intense protests is just too great. Inez reveals why this is just the tip of the iceberg.Finally, they shake their heads as Hamas reportedly like the Trump plan for Gaza, except for the part about Hamas leaving Gaza and being demilitarized. Inez says it will likely be up to the Arab supporters of the deal to force Hamas to comply. Inez and Greg also react to the Islamist terrorist attack in England, where two people were stabbed to death outside a synagogue on Yom Kippur. Inez reveals just how bleak the outlook is for the UK unless major policy changes happen very soon.Please visit our great sponsors:Get 20% off your first purchase of classic menswear.

We are nearly one full day into the partial federal government shutdown and the political blame game is in full force. A vast majority of Democrats are insisting they will never vote for a clean funding bill that the Republicans have put up unless Republicans agree to tack on subsidies that would help Americans afford Obamacare coverage as well as reverse cuts to Medicaid.

Healthcare is the major sticking point in ongoing shutdown negotiations, as Republicans are saying Democrats are looking to remove guardrails in the “One Big Beautiful Bill” which prevent illegal migrants from receiving benefits meant for U.S. citizens. Government funding talks have centered on a short-term spending patch through late October that has a temporary renewal of Obamacare subsidies. Meanwhile, President Trump has warned his administration could make "irreversible" changes to the federal workforce, with a new wave of fresh layoffs of government employees.

With $185 billion at stake, premiums for American citizens on the line, and the looming government shutdown, we dive into how politics, policy, and propaganda collide in the fight over health care and immigration.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four Tuesday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. The Kick Ass Standard President Trump’s announcement on prescription drug pricing, revealing that Pfizer will now offer medications at “most favored nation” prices, a move aimed at reducing costs for American consumers. Clay then shifts to a fiery cultural debate sparked by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s speech to military leaders, emphasizing a return to strict physical standards and meritocracy in the U.S. Armed Forces. Hegseth rejects DEI mandates and insists on combat readiness over diversity quotas, sparking a broader conversation about whether elite positions in the military—or any field—should reflect demographics or prioritize performance. Clay uses examples from Olympic basketball and the National Spelling Bee to argue that excellence rarely mirrors population diversity and that merit should always come first. Golden Handcuffs An in-depth discussion on JK Rowling’s viral takedown of Emma Watson and the gender ideology debate. Clay praises Rowling’s courage in standing against what she calls “gender insanity,” reading excerpts from her powerful statement that has garnered tens of millions of views. He challenges wealthy and influential Americans to show similar bravery in defending truth and common sense. OK Sen. Markwayne Mullin Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin does a deep dive into the budget impasse, blaming Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer for obstructing a “clean CR” (Continuing Resolution) due to pressure from progressive challengers like AOC. Mullin outlines the shutdown’s impact on military pay, federal employees, and mandatory vs. discretionary spending, while criticizing continued COVID-era healthcare subsidies and Obamacare enrollment for undocumented immigrants—a $350 billion taxpayer burden, he claims. Mullin and Travis assert that Donald Trump’s 2024 landslide victory was a rejection of socialism and far-left policies. They argue the Democratic Party is now led by figures like Bernie Sanders, Ilhan Omar, and Jasmine Crockett, and suffering an identity crisis. Mullin also praises military fitness standards, referencing Pete Seth’s call for accountability among generals, and shares his own leadership philosophy rooted in discipline and example-setting. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise Congressman and House Majority Leader Steve Scalise joins the show to reflect on the Charlie Kirk shooting, drawing parallels to his own experience as a victim of political violence in 2017. Scalise emphasizes the importance of civil discourse, condemns cancel culture, and highlights the resilience of Turning Point USA, which has seen over 50,000 students express interest in launching chapters. He praises Erica Kirk’s commitment to continuing Charlie’s legacy and notes a religious revival among youth inspired by Kirk’s faith. Scalise also discusses the House-passed funding bill, warning that Schumer and the far-left are pushing a shutdown out of political spite. He urges Democrats to prioritize governance over ideological battles. The hour closes with Scalise’s thoughts on LSU football, NIL funding, and the electrifying experience of Saturday nights in Tiger Stadium, complete with Cajun tailgating and Garth Brooks anthems.

Thousands of federal workers go on furlough when Congress fails to pass a funding bill, as Sen. Chuck Schumer strives to show his party's base that he's willing to fight President Trump. But do Democrats have the high ground in pushing to extend pandemic ObamaCare subsidies, or will Republicans step up to explain why "free" government insurance is bad policy?

Seduta in forte rialzo per Pirelli dopo le indiscrezioni Reuters su un possibile disimpegno di Sinochem, che detiene il 37% del capitale, disposto a valutare offerte con premio di mercato. L’ipotesi si inserisce negli sforzi del governo italiano per risolvere i nodi di governance. La notizia segue l’archiviazione del procedimento sul golden power da parte di Palazzo Chigi e l’avvio di un dialogo tra governo, Pirelli e azionisti. Lo stallo tra parte italiana e soci cinesi ha già creato tensioni, con il bilancio 2024 e la trimestrale bocciati e l’AD Casaluci che ha parlato di rischi per lo sviluppo del gruppo. La contesa riguarda la perdita del controllo da parte dei cinesi, mai accettata da Sinochem, e i vincoli americani che vedono ancora troppa influenza cinese in Pirelli. Tra le soluzioni possibili, la riduzione della quota cinese o una revisione della governance. Per Mediobanca l’indiscrezione è positiva perché il mercato percepisce la governance come debolezza e la cessione totale o parziale della quota Sinochem appare la via più probabile. Intermonte evidenzia che il tema è già consolidato tra gli investitori, ma ora emerge come volontà di Sinochem. L’uscita, pur ostacolata dalla richiesta di premio, viene ritenuta probabile anche grazie alla crescita della quota di Camfin al 27,4% con target 29,9%. Entrambi gli analisti mantengono rating “Outperform” con target price a 7,3 euro. Ne parliamo con Marigia Mangano, Il Sole 24 Ore.Irpef senza sconti oltre i 50mila euro: escluso il 7% che paga il 45% del gettito. Il rapporto Itinerari previdenziali-Cida mostra una forte concentrazione del gettito Irpef: il 27% dei contribuenti paga il 76,9% dell’imposta, mentre quasi metà dei cittadini versa appena il 5,64%. La manovra di bilancio prevede la sterilizzazione del taglio Irpef dal 35 al 33% per i redditi fino a 50mila euro, escludendo 3 milioni di contribuenti (7,1% del totale) che però garantiscono il 44,3% del gettito. Il tema si intreccia con il dibattito sul ceto medio, indicato dal governo nella fascia tra 28mila e 50mila euro. In Italia la soglia dei 50mila resta quella che individua i “ricchi”, con aliquota marginale al 43%, ben più bassa nei livelli di reddito in cui scatta rispetto a Germania e Francia. L’Osservatorio guidato da Brambilla sottolinea come l’Irpef sia ormai sbilanciata, con 1,65% di contribuenti sopra i 100mila euro che coprono oltre il 22% del gettito e quasi metà degli italiani che paga pochissimo o nulla. Il commento è di Alberto Brambilla, presidente di Itinerari previdenziali.Gli Usa entrano ufficialmente in shutdown. Gli Stati Uniti sono entrati nello shutdown per la prima volta in sette anni, con il congelamento di parte dell’amministrazione federale. Lo scontro politico tra repubblicani e democratici al Congresso non ha portato all’approvazione del bilancio: i repubblicani hanno respinto la proposta che includeva il rinnovo dei sussidi Obamacare. Lo stop comporta la sospensione dal lavoro per 750mila dipendenti federali senza stipendio immediato e costi stimati in 400 milioni di dollari al giorno, oltre a ritardi nei trasporti e nella diffusione di dati economici cruciali. Lo shutdown riguarda finanziamenti governativi per 1.700 miliardi di dollari, circa un quarto del bilancio totale. Si teme che la chiusura possa durare più a lungo del passato, mentre cresce il clima di scontro politico. Intanto è stata annunciata l’acquisizione di Electronic Arts per 55 miliardi di dollari da parte di un consorzio che include Silver Lake, il fondo sovrano saudita Pif e Affinity Partners di Jared Kushner, segnando la più grande operazione a debito della storia e alimentando le polemiche sui legami d’affari della famiglia Trump. Interviene Peter Cardillo, Chief Market Economist di Spartan Capital Securities, basato a New York.

As I record this episode, we are on the edge — maybe already over it, by the time you read this — of a government shutdown. And I want to give you a bit of the behind-the-scenes intel I picked up that helps explain how we got here. According to one of my sources on the Hill (a Republican, for the record), the read is that Chuck Schumer is locked in. He's in a “dark place,” unwilling to budge, and if anything's going to change, it'll come from other Democrats. That's been the drumbeat here: Schumer can't blink. If he does, he opens himself up to a leadership challenge. And that's the one thing a Senate leader absolutely cannot do.The Democrats are trying to pitch the shutdown as a way to stand up for healthcare — that's the messaging. But the problem is that if the government shuts down, there are a lot of healthcare extensions and services that begin to expire immediately. I read off a list of them: community health centers, Medicare adjustments, ambulance payment programs, disaster medical systems — the works. The irony is that the parts Democrats hate the most about the Trump administration don't shut down. ICE doesn't go anywhere. Deportations still happen. Those are essential — and Trump's people decide what counts as essential.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.The fight, according to Democrats, is over Obamacare subsidies and Medicaid cuts in the One Big Beautiful Bill. But those cuts don't even kick in until after the midterms. Meanwhile, essential Democratic priorities lose funding the moment the lights go out. And that's the trap. They're betting that Trump wants to make a deal — that he wants to look like a bipartisan dealmaker. Maybe they believe they can spin this into a win. But let's remember what happened the last time Trump tried that in 2018: he got nothing.If they're hoping for Trump to ride in and rescue them, that's a risky game. The GOP Senate and House leaders — Thune and Johnson — are more than happy to let this ride. Hell, there are people in that party who love a shutdown. It's a stress test for them, a chance to see what happens when the government turns off. And the data doesn't look good for Democrats. A New York Times/Siena poll had just 27% of all respondents — and only a slim plurality of Democrats — supporting the idea of a shutdown if demands aren't met. That's a brutal place to be when you're the one pulling the trigger.So here we are: Schumer boxed in, the party divided, and the shutdown clock striking midnight. Maybe there's a backdoor deal. Maybe Trump throws them a rope. But right now? The only guaranteed outcome is pain.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:01:41 - Shutdown00:08:42 - Interview with Evan Scrimshaw00:30:33 - Update00:31:21 - Hegseth's Meeting00:34:42 - Schweikert for Gov00:36:09 - NYT Polling on Shutdown00:37:06 - Interview with Evan Scrimshaw (con't)01:15:30 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

The federal government is headed for a shutdown. Congressional leaders from both parties met with President Trump yesterday at the White House. They failed to make progress towards a funding deal. Democrats say they want to reverse some Medicaid cuts that Republicans passed earlier this year – and extend tax credits for people on Obamacare plans. Meanwhile, Republicans falsely claim that their colleagues across the aisle are shutting down the government to fund healthcare for unauthorized immigrants. Barring a last minute breakthrough in the Senate, the government will shut down for the first time in almost 7 years just after midnight tonight.

California is quietly bringing back asset limits for Medi-Cal long-term care coverage in 2026, and current recipients could be in for a devastating surprise. Here's what's happening: California eliminated asset limits for elderly and disabled Medi-Cal recipients in 2024, but those limits are returning in 2026. If you currently receive long-term care Medi-Cal benefits, when you submit your annual eligibility report next year, you could lose your coverage if your assets exceed the new limits.    In this critical episode, estate planning attorney Kirsten Howe explains the $130,000 asset limit returning for single individuals, why 2025 is your last opportunity to transfer assets without penalties, and the difference between regular Medi-Cal and long-term care Medi-Cal coverage. She also covers exactly which assets will count against you, which are exempt, and essential planning strategies to protect your benefits before the deadline.     Time-stamped Show Notes: 0:00 Introduction 0:02 Federal vs. state changes: distinguishing between well-publicized federal Medicaid cuts and California's hidden asset limit reversal 1:56 MAGI Medi-Cal breakdown - how Obamacare's expanded coverage works for healthy, low-income individuals 2:17 The crucial distinction: long-term care Medi-Cal covers far more than basic health insurance, serving elderly and disabled populations 3:16 Planning becomes essential again - why future Medi-Cal eligibility will require strategic asset management 3:35 Listen in as Kirsten explains more about exempt assets that may include a house, car, prepaid funeral, burial plot, small life insurance, and retirement accounts 4:27 Currently, 2025 offers no asset limits, exempt status for all assets, and penalty-free transfers 4:55 Next, Kirsten talks about the annual report trap that could devastate current recipients in 2026 5:36 Qualified yesterday, disqualified tomorrow: how current beneficiaries risk losing coverage despite meeting past requirements

Ryan Schmelz joins Marc Cox and Dan Buck to discuss the potential government shutdown in the middle of this week. They break down the legislative process in the House and Senate, key sticking points like healthcare funding and Obamacare subsidies, and the political blame game between Democrats and Republicans. The conversation also covers the impact on Social Security, Medicaid, TSA, and national parks, along with the political fallout if a shutdown occurs.

Congress is barreling toward a government shutdown and Democrats are weighing whether they should use their leverage in this negotiation. They want to extend Obamacare subsidies and potentially roll back some cuts to Medicaid. President Trump has threatened mass firings of federal workers in the event of a shutdown. All of this is going on as the country is grappling with a rise in political violence – and political rhetoric that blames the other side for the problem. Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal joined Soundside to talk more about all of this. Guest: Pramila Jayapal, U.S. Representative for Washington's 7th Congressional District.

Vice President JD Vance said top U.S. officials are engaged in negotiations with Israeli and Arab leaders.Trump is expected to meet with lawmakers on Monday to work out disagreements as the threat of a government shutdown looms. Democrats want parts of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act repealed and are demanding an extension to tax subsidies for Obamacare. Republicans say negotiations can take place after their short-term funding bill expires, which recently passed the House before failing in the Senate. If an agreement isn't reached by Tuesday at midnight, the Trump administration says it plans to lay off more federal workers.

On today's Front Page: Congressional Democrats' demand for averting a government shutdown is dividing Republicans who oppose an Obamacare policy change, judges have still found plenty of room to limit what they see as executive branch overreach without resorting to universal injunctions, and more.

September 29, 2025 ~ Paul W. Smith and Fox News Correspondent Ryan Schmelz discuss the looming government shutdown. They explored ways to avert it before midnight Tuesday. Democrats demand Obamacare subsidies in funding bills, while Republicans seek reforms. Both sides remain firm, creating a standoff. The political consequences are uncertain.

This episode explains how proposed cuts to Obamacare marketplace subsidies could raise premiums and hurt low- and middle-income Americans, especially gig and self-employed workers. It also critiques political tactics that shift attention to immigration and fear-based messaging instead of addressing the real economic and healthcare impacts, and calls for unity over division.

Congress barrels toward a government shutdown next week, with little progress on a funding deal, as Democrats use their leverage to seek about $1.5 trillion in spending, including on ObamaCare subsidies. Sen. Ron Johnson discusses his plan to end these dramas by automatically extending flat funding, plus why he opposes legislation to ban Congress from trading stocks. Learn more about your ad choices.

Our Global Head of Thematic and Fixed Income Research Michael Zezas and our U.S. Public Policy Strategist Ariana Salvatore unpack the market and economic implications of a looming government shutdown.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript ----- Michael Zezas: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Michael Zezas, Morgan Stanley's Global Head of Fixed Income Research and Public Policy Strategy. Ariana Salvatore: And I'm Ariana Salvatore, U.S. Public Policy Strategist. Michael Zezas: Today, our focus is once again on Washington – as the U.S. government fiscal year draws to a close and a potential government shutdown hangs in the balance.It's Friday, September 26th at noon in New York. Ariana we're just four days away from the end of the month. By October 1st, Congress needs to have a funding agreement in place, or we risk a potential shutdown. To that point, Democrats and Republicans seem far apart on the deal to avoid a shutdown. What's the state of play? Ariana Salvatore: Right now, Republicans are pushing for what's called a clean continuing resolution. That's a bill that would keep funding levels flat while putting more time on the clock for negotiators to hammer out full fiscal year appropriations. And the CR they're proposing lasts until November 21st. Democrats, conversely, are seeking to tie government funding to legislative compromise in other areas, including the enhanced Obamacare or ACA subsidies, and potential spending cuts to Medicaid from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which Republicans signed earlier this year. Remember, even though Republicans hold a majority in both chambers, this has to be a bipartisan agreement because of exactly how thin those margins of control are. But Mike, it seems as we get closer, investors are asking more infrequently whether or not a shutdown is happening – and are more interested in how long it could potentially last. What are we thinking there? Michael Zezas: So, it's hard to know. Shutdowns typically last a few days, but sometimes there are short as a few hours, sometimes as long as a few weeks. Historically, shutdowns tend to end when the economic risk, and therefore the attached political risk gets real. So, consider the 35-day shutdown under President Trump in this first term. The compromise that ended it came quickly after there was an air traffic stoppage at New York's LaGuardia Airport – when 10 air traffic controllers who weren't being paid failed to show up for work. So, we think the more relevant question for investors is what it all means for economic activity. Our economists have historically argued that a government shutdown takes something like 0.1 percent off of GDP every single week it's happening. However, once employees go back to work, a lot of times that effect fades pretty quickly. Now it's important to understand that this time around there could be a wrinkle. The Trump administration is talking about laying employees off on a durable basis during the shutdown. And that's something that maybe would have more of a lasting economic impact. It's hard to know how credible that potential is. There would almost certainly be court challenges, but it's something we have to keep our eye on that could create a more meaningful economic consequence. Ariana Salvatore: That's right. And there are also some really important indirect macroeconomic effects here. Like delayed data releases. Much of the federal workforce, to your point, will not be working through a shutdown – which could impede the collection and the release of some key data points that matter for markets like labor and inflation data, which come from BLS, the Bureau of Labor Statistics. So, assuming we're in this scenario with a longer-term shutdown. Obviously, we're going to see an increase in uncertainty, especially as investors are looking toward each data print for guidance on what the Fed's next move might be. What do we expect the market reaction to all of this to be? Michael Zezas: Well, the obvious risk here is that markets might have to price in some weaker growth potential. So, you could see treasury yields fall. You could see equity markets wobble; be a bit more volatile. It could be that those effects are temporary, though. And that volatility could easily be amplified by having to price risk in the market without the data you were talking about, Ariana. So, investors could overreact to anecdotal signals about the economy or underweight some real risks that they're not seeing. So, that's why even a short shutdown can have outsized market effects. Well, Ariana, thanks for taking the time to talk.Ariana Salvatore: Great speaking with you, Mike. Michael Zezas: And to our audience, thanks for listening.

The looming government shutdown — now just days away — has escalated dramatically. Russ Vought, Trump's former OMB director and the key architect behind the original administration firings, circulated a memo this week warning agencies to prepare for a “reduction in force” if funding lapses. The message was clear: if there's a shutdown, he plans to fire as many people as possible and make those firings stick. In his words, the Democrats would be handing him a gift. It's what he's always wanted to do, and he's daring them to let it happen.Democrats, for their part, view this as a scare tactic, a way to push them into passing a clean continuing resolution. They've been offered essentially the best deal possible under GOP control: Biden-era spending levels and no controversial riders. Still, they're rejecting it. Even lawmakers from districts and states with large numbers of federal employees — Chris Van Hollen, Glenn Ivey, Patty Murray, Mark Warner — are standing firm. For them, this is about resisting what they see as Trump-aligned plans to gut the federal workforce.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Some Republicans are framing the mass firing threat as leverage, not a goal. Bernie Moreno said he supports the memo as a negotiating tactic but wants to avoid a shutdown. Susan Collins and Mike Lawler both expressed discomfort with using federal workers as bargaining chips but pointed out that the solution is simple: just vote for the clean CR. Speaker Mike Johnson, meanwhile, is pressing hard, accusing Democrats of preferring illegal immigrants to federal employees by insisting on funding Obamacare and Medicare subsidies that Republicans argue benefit non-citizens.So where does that leave us? A shutdown happens when Congress fails to pass, and the President fails to sign, either the full appropriations bill or a continuing resolution before the start of the fiscal year. When that happens, agencies are prohibited from spending money, except on activities deemed essential to life, property, or national security. Non-essential employees are furloughed, contractors go unpaid, and essential workers like the military and TSA keep working without pay. We're set to enter this world on October 1st.Everything from passport processing to regulatory enforcement gets paused. Federal contractors, especially in areas around DC, take a huge financial hit. Social security checks, Medicare, and mail delivery continue. And while federal workers usually get back pay, contractors often don't. A shutdown only ends when Congress passes and the President signs a funding bill. That's why I say this isn't an “if,” but a “when.” The government will shut down; the only question is how long Democrats are willing to hold out before taking the same deal they're rejecting now. I don't think it'll be long. This isn't their kind of fight, and they're about to find out why.Chapters00:00 - Intro03:12 - 107 Days06:30 - Gov Shutdown15:30 - Update15:49 - Hegseth Meeting18:04 - Kimmel Ratings19:44 - TikTok20:43 - Interview with Tom Merritt55:49 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.
