397: A Mexican Standoff

On this week's episode of the Unnatural Selection Podcast we discuss: The US Government shutdown. It's the longest in US history. Yay. The President Generally owns the shutdown no matter who's in power. There's no minority trying to force an issue - the GoP is doing this to themselves. Mitch McConnell refuses to table bills that he knows Trump won't sign - it's ironically a Mexican standoff. Donald Trump billed for personal cleanup. Play of the Game. $0 Paychecks - no confirmation that employees of the US Federal Government will get back pay. Border Wall - Crisis or not? Playing Chicken against someone with no shame is not a thing that can actually work. Clive Palmer texts everyone in Australia: Hey, u up? The United Australia Party, the re-branded PUP, is out there to cause a bit of a fuss this election cycle. Shooting yourself in the foot - Scott Morrison and his photo-shopped shoes. Sam Dastyari on I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here in South Africa. It's a bit sad. The Unnatural Selection podcast is produced by Jorge Tsipos, Adam Direen and Tom Heath.
