Description

We’re now in the longest shutdown in U.S. history after lawmakers on Tuesday again failed to advance a deal to extend health care subsidies and re-open the government. As President Trump calls for an end to the filibuster to force a resolution and as Democrats dig in after decisive election victories, we talk about the latest political maneuverings. And we’ll hear from Republican Congressman Kevin Kiley about what he thinks it will take to bring the warring parties to the table.




Guests:


Nicholas Wu, congressional reporter, Politico


Kevin Kiley, U.S. Congressman representing California's 3rd District


Russell Berman, staff writer, The Atlantic
