Covington Catholic, the Shutdown, and House Committees

On today's episode, we're talking about the Covington Catholic viral video from Washington DC this weekend and the fact that our government is still shutdown. In our main segment, we're talking about the power of house committees (if you haven't listened to Friday's episode, make sure that you hear the 5 things we think you need to know about house committees before this conversation). To close out, we'll talk about what's on our minds outside of politics.
