The Shutdown, Travel, & “A House of Dynamite” 11/6/25

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) discusses the prolonged government shutdown, as well as the future of the filibuster and bipartisanship on Capitol Hill. Because of the shutdown, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced a reduction in flight capacity by 10% at 40 major airports starting on Friday, a move that will affect roughly 3,500-4,000 flights per day. American Airlines Pilot Dennis Tajer represents the Allied Pilots Association, and he’s urging lawmakers to pass a clean CR, just so his crews can get back to paid work. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is softening his comments that “China will win the AI race,” and Doordash stock is sinking. Plus, director Kathryn Bigelow and writer Noah Oppenheim discuss their latest movie for Netflix, “A House of Dynamite,” exploring what a nuclear launch crisis might look like in today’s geopolitical climate.  Dennis Tajer - 19:59Speaker Mike Johnson - 25:43Kathryn Bigelow & Noah Oppenheim - 42:50 In this episode:Mike Johnson, @SpeakerJohnsonJoe Kernen, @JoeSquawk Andrew Ross Sorkin, @andrewrsorkinKatie Kramer, @Kramer_Katie Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
