Summary

🎙️ The stunning lack of self-awareness from House Democrats’ Minority Whip Katherine Clark is amazing. Pro tip: don’t say the quiet part out loud. Huge hat tip to Speaker Johnson and his staff for a genius troll, BTW. Even CNN’s Harry Enten's data is showing that the shutdown isn’t hurting Donald Trump's approval at all, the public views this as a "Schumer shutdown." The fellas also torch Virginia gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger for her entitled reaction to questions, which reveals her underlying entitlement. 📖 Then, Bret Baier joins the Progrum! Anchor of Special Report on Fox News, Baier discusses his successful career and what he learned from Tim Russert that has made him so successful. Baier’s newest book, To Rescue the American Spirit: Teddy Roosevelt and the Birth of a Superpower, highlights how Roosevelt's legacy is still so relevant today.
