About this episode
In this episode, Michael discusses the current state of the US government, specifically the ongoing partial shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security. He delves into the history of the filibuster, a Senate rule that's been used to block legislation, and how it's been used by Democrats to block funding for DHS. He argues that the filibuster is a "club rule" that's not a constitutional safeguard, but rather a tool used by the majority to block the majority. He also touches on the recent Senate maneuver that passed a partial funding bill, and the House's response, highlighting the dysfunction in Congress.
