Summary

This week on The Final Word, we’re asking the real question: How do you “find” $5.3 billion for troops but let 42 million Americans go hungry? It’s giving “We support the troops, but not the people who feed them.”

The Congressional Budget Office says the shutdown could cost us $14 billion in permanent economic damage if it drags through November. Meanwhile, SNAP benefits are set to lapse for the first time ever, and ACA premiums are jumping 26% next year. Translation: the government’s broke, but somehow still shopping at Gucci.

Then Trump demands that Jack Smith and others be “investigated and put in prison.” Sir, you’re not a judge—you’re just mad your mugshot didn’t get a People’s Choice Award.

A Democratic congressional candidate in Illinois got indicted for allegedly impeding an ICE agent during a protest. We’re watching both the charges and the spin.

And finally, farmers and lawmakers are holding their breath for the Trump-Xi meeting, hoping for a bailout. Because nothing says “America First” like begging China for a check.

Tune in, grab your receipts, and clutch your constitution—because this week, the final word is: You can’t spell “shutdown” without “shady.”
