Ten days into the partial government shutdown — and a compromise between congressional Democrats and the White House is still no where in sight. 

On today’s episode of Polilogue, we look at the various proposals to open the government back up. We also look at a special climate change-focused episode of Meet the Press.

As always, you can jump to a section of the show by using our available chapters:

• Intro

• Highlight/Lowlight

• The ‘Wall’ Shutdown

• The MTP Climate Special

• Rankings

• Closing

The shows we discuss today include:

• State of the Union on CNN

• Meet the Press on NBC

• Face the Nation on CBS

• This Week on ABC

Articles and research we cite:

• Providing Sanctuary or Fostering Crime? A Review of the Research on “Sanctuary Cities” and Crime (Sociology Compass)

• Sunday shows finally talk about climate change (but that doesn’t mean the coverage was good) (Media Matters)
