The Leave Us Alone team examines how the latest government shutdown fight centers on Obamacare. Grover Norquist, Mike Palicz, James Erwin, and Jack Baum explain how Democrats are using the shutdown as leverage to push for another extension of Obamacare's temporary subsidies, which were meant to expire after the pandemic.

They discuss how this political strategy hides the real cost of the program and why conservatives are rejecting another taxpayer-funded bailout. The team also looks at key state elections in New Jersey and Maine, where affordability, energy costs, and taxes are defining the campaigns.

In the final segments, the hosts cover new developments from the FTC and the United Nations, exploring how regulatory overreach and global tax proposals could affect innovation, energy, and economic freedom.
