Make It Make Sense with Grant Hermes

Why Is The Government Still Shutdown?


Listen Later

Members of Congress are still deadlocked over how to reopen the government as the shutdown hits the two-week mark. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson says we're "barreling" toward the longest shutdown in history, but has his own motives for not coming to the table including carrying out Project 2025 and helping Trump keep the Epstein files hidden. 

As that's happening, Democrats continue to push for restoring Medicaid and Obamacare tax credits, but American frustration with Congress may be coming to a head very soon. 

PLUS, Grant gives an update on the amazing news that a ceasefire and hostage release deal was brokered in the Israel-Gaza war, the question now is how long will it last?
