Summary

Thanks to Trump unifying the party and Democrat overreach, Republicans have surprisingly held strong on the shutdown. We first delve into a new, dangerous agreement to defend Qatar in case of war. At a time of global intifada being fomented by the Muslim Brotherhood, why is there no outcry about elevating Qatar to de facto NATO status? Next, we’re joined by Rep. Andy Harris (R-Md.), the chairman of the House Freedom Caucus. He notes how Republicans have a chance to win not only the government shutdown fight but the Obamacare subsidy fight by countering the narrative on health care. Sadly, they are hampered by a lack of numbers in Congress, but Harris argues that the Freedom Caucus’ influence is growing. He says candidates are approaching the group a year in advance and pledging to join the merry band of conservative warriors.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

some degree of Obamacare subsidies or extended Biden-Obomacare subsidies, but I must say they've

held the line until now. And there's three factors in that.

I want to get into that.

But moreover, not that I think they're going to do it,

1:03.0

but I do believe there is an opportunity to reset the wayward economic message

to reset their message on debt and health care,

on how the crushing debt is driving the unaffordability.

The subsidization regulation of health care is driving, particularly the unaffordability of health care.

After screwing up budget reconciliation, in my view, to me they have a reset to make lemonade

See, you might say, well, there's no impetus.
