Elon Risks Government Shutdown, Kills Bipartisan Budget Deal 12/19/24

Congress thought they had a deal on spending that would keep the federal government open for business. Now, they’re not so sure. First, Elon Musk took to X to speak out against the deal. Then, Trump, who won’t be back in power until next month, threatened to primary any Republican who votes for it. Trump wants Congress to increase the nation’s borrowing limit instead. Now, Speaker Mike Johnson and other Republicans have very little time to come up with an alternative to fund the government while keeping Trump and Musk at bay. Former Federal Prosecutor and now defense attorney, David Katz will stop by the show to talk about Trump’s legal cases, Trump’s lawsuit against the Des Moines Register for running a poll result he didn’t like and the latest on the Luigi Mangione murder case.
