CA Senator Adam Schiff Explains Democrats’ Shutdown Strategy and Easy Ways to Level Up Your Health
About this episode
As the federal government shutdown extended through a second day, President Trump on Thursday redoubled his threats to carry out mass layoffs, posting on his social media platform that Democrats had given him an “unprecedented opportunity.” We talk to California Senator Adam Schiff about the Democrats’ long game on the shutdown and get his response to Trump’s call this week to use U.S. cities as a “training ground” for the military and his administration’s decision to cancel billions of dollars for energy projects in California and the Pacific Northwest.
Guests:
Adam Schiff, U.S. Senator representing California; former U.S. Congressman representing Los Angeles; his books include "Midnight in Washington: How We Almost Lost Our Democracy and Still Could"
