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.
