About this episode
First: The shutdown stalemate continues, and Democrats say they have no plans to give up on their demands on health care. They claim voters are on their side, but is that true? We have results from a brand new poll asking just that.
Plus: We have exclusive new CNN reporting on the president's point man on presidential power and how he plans to use the shutdown to slash the size of government even further.
And: Another top federal prosecutor loses his job not because of anything he did wrong, but apparently because of a false accusation from a far-right activist.
