Summary

Congress left town without reaching a deal to avoid a shutdown after the Senate blocked competing Republican and Democratic proposals to keep the federal government funded until November 21st. The failure to reach a compromise before the weekend increases the likelihood of a shutdown at the end of the month. FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram breaks down the government shutdown showdown. Then, Chad discusses other news from the Hill this past week, including how Congress responded to Charlie Kirk’s assassination and the drama surrounding FBI Director Kash Patel’s appearances before House and Senate committees. Additionally, Eric Trump, Executive Vice President of the Trump Organization, pays tribute to his friend Charlie Kirk and weighs in on the debate over how America should address its political violence problem.
