Shutdown Game Theory
from The Powers That Be: Daily · host Puck | Audacy
Abby Livingston joins Peter with the latest intel from Capitol Hill on the now two-week-old government shutdown.

As we barrel toward what could be the longest shutdown in U.S. history, Abby discusses the factors that could actually lead to a breakthrough.
