Summary

I begin the show dissecting two lessons from this week’s government shutdown. The fact that even Democrats have been quiet all week demonstrates how even they need a break and how Republicans, had they been determined, could have broken them with the threat of a talking filibuster all week. I also prove how this week’s fake shutdown reveals that much of the federal government is completely gratuitous even from a liberal standpoint. Next, it's Foreign Policy Friday with Jordan Schachtel. We discuss the shutdown of strategic thinking on Syria and how the past week proves the need for multi-dimensional strategies. Trump is looking better and better on the actual pullout, but worse on his Turkey strategy.     Show links How to force a talking filibuster The lesson of the nonessential departments The judiciary shutdown is the only shutdown that matters The paper that cheers Hezbollah suddenly feigns concern for Israel How the entire Kashoggi media campaign was an info op from Qatar NYT loves Hezbollah Caroline Glick’s must-read on Israel, Syria, and Turkey Copyright Blaze Media LLC.
