Listen "Government Shutdown Day 2"
Episode Synopsis
                            Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan and Carl Cannon discuss the second day of the government shutdown, and the debate over whether Democrats are demanding government healthcare for illegal immigrants in order to pass a budget compromise, a charge that Democratic leaders deny. Then, they talk about the heightened role of memes in the national debate over the government shutdown, and what the deeper implications of “meme culture” is for American politics. After that, they discuss Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s views on the New York mayoralty race, revealed in a new cover article in Vanity Fair.  Also, they discuss a brand-new campaign ad from New York mayoral candidate Andrew Cuomo that uses artificial intelligence to generate visuals of the former governor doing different jobs around the city. Then closing it up, RCP White House correspondent Phil Wegmann joins the guys to discuss his latest article on Donald Trump’s announcement that the Administration had reached an agreement with Harvard University stating that now “their sins are forgiven".
