On this week's episode of the Unnatural Selection Podcast we discuss:

• The US Government shutdown. It's the longest in US history. Yay.
• The President Generally owns the shutdown no matter who's in power.
• There's no minority trying to force an issue - the GoP is doing this to themselves.
• Mitch McConnell refuses to table bills that he knows Trump won't sign - it's ironically a Mexican standoff.
• Donald Trump billed for personal cleanup. Play of the Game.
• $0 Paychecks - no confirmation that employees of the US Federal Government will get back pay.
• Border Wall - Crisis or not?
• Playing Chicken against someone with no shame is not a thing that can actually work.
• Clive Palmer texts everyone in Australia: Hey, u up?
• The United Australia Party, the re-branded PUP, is out there to cause a bit of a fuss this election cycle.
• Shooting yourself in the foot - Scott Morrison and his photo-shopped shoes.
• Sam Dastyari on I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here in South Africa. It's a bit sad.
