Day 30 of the government shutdown, and President Trump is halfway around the world. Dave, Kurt, and Ashley dissect the unprecedented absence of a president during a federal shutdown, analyze tight gubernatorial races in New Jersey and Virginia, debate whether the Supreme Court will finally check Trump's tariff power, and assess his high-stakes Asia trip. From SNAP benefits disappearing to Gen Z shockingly backing controversial candidates, this episode captures America's political chaos in real time. Will Democrats finally learn their lesson? Can the Supreme Court save its reputation? And what happens when food assistance vanishes for millions? Join us for a no-holds-barred conversation about a government in gridlock and a country at a crossroads.
