Well, at long last the nightmare is over. The government has reopened. We don't know how many days the

government was shut down because without the government there was no way to keep track of time,

but the effects of the shutdown were felt everywhere from Washington, DC all the way to...

Well, that was it really. But the effects were devastating and could be seen throughout the

capital. For instance, without reliable government sources, reporters were forced to pretend they

30-year-old illegal immigrant children with sad eyes who roamed the city begging for bread

by sticking guns in the backs of passers-by and saying, give me bread. Now, however, Republicans

and Democrats have come up with a compromise that will reopen the government. I tried to stop them,

but I got there too late. Trigger warning, I'm Andrew Clayvin, and this is the Andrew Clayvin Show.

All right, so the Democrats actually lost a government shutdown, which almost never happens,

but we'll talk about why it happened this time, and we'll talk about what the thing about the

Democrats approach to immigration is that it's wrong in every possible way. Everything they're doing

is essentially a scam. We also, speaking of scams, we have Michael Knowles with us, he spent,
