🎙️ It’s not surprising, but the fellas called every twist and turn of this government shutdown fiasco months ago. Senate Democrats finally caved, reopening the government without securing any of their stated demands, which further proves that the shutdown was entirely a political exercise to push turnout for Election Day. We get into the media's baffling spin, which finally admitted to a "Democratic filibuster" only after it was broken. Once again, democrats will hurt the American people if it helps them politically.

💥 We revisit our past predictions, including conversations all the way back to March. The "deal" that was supposedly brokered was the exact same offer Republicans made weeks earlier, revealing the whole bipartisan agreement narrative as complete "bulls**t." This political theater was underscored by Senator Tim Kaine's admission that he was more focused on the election than on the financial pain his constituents faced during the shutdown—a classic example of elected officials prioritizing politics over their actual jobs.

⚡The fellas cover a stunning video of a rat hunting a bat, which has Ashbrook’s brain turning on how to defeat these creatures. Then, the American Beverage Association talks about their efforts to curb sugary drinks and create jobs. ️
