Day 29 of the government shutdown and Todd makes the case that Senate Democrats—and Chuck Schumer—own it. We break down the cloture math, why the filibuster fight matters, and the 13 votes that kept the lights off. You’ll also hear a striking C-SPAN call from a lifelong Democrat who says her party is holding Americans hostage, plus Todd’s take on SNAP talking points and Jake Tapper’s testy exchange with Rep. Melanie Stansbury. In segments two and three, Todd pivots to election integrity—from Harmit Dhillon’s pressure on states over messy voter rolls to why list maintenance is basic common sense. We close with listener-focused updates and sponsors that support the show and our values. Conservative, not bitter—always.
