Listen "Shutdown Post-Mortem and Epstein Files Fallout"
Episode Synopsis
U.S. House Speaker MIKE JOHNSON (R-LA) joins us from Florida, weighing-in on the end of the government shutdown, which he says accomplished “zero” for Democrats and may be a long-term negative for their party. ELIZABETH MITCHELL—White House correspondent for The Daily Signal—suggests anger over the shutdown might cause Senator CHUCK SCHUMER (D-NY) to skip a re-election bid in 2026. U.S. Senator LINDSEY GRAHAM (R-SC) provides perspective on the new U.S. relationship with Syria…but how Israel’s borders must remain secure in any new partnerships. Congressman ANDY HARRIS (R-MD) who is himself a physician explains how fissures exposed during the shutdown could lead to a major overhaul of Obamacare. And in his commentary, TONY PERKINS says transparency must be the watchword as D.C. wrestles with the Epstein files…noting that in the Watergate scandal, “it wasn’t the crime but the coverup” that infuriated the American public. All that and more on TWOCH, sponsored by AARP and AMERICANS FOR PROSPERITY. More here: http://thisweekoncapitolhill.com. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
