Mark Simone is back on 710 W.O.R.

Well, Liz Peek, the brilliant columnist, also has a great website, Liz Peek.com, all kinds of great stories and new stuff every day.

Liz Peek.com. You can get a column there, also at Fox News and the Hill.

Liz Peek, how you doing?

I'm well, thank you. I'm delighted that the government is going to be up and running hopefully within days. Oh, I'm not. I keep it closed. We don't need these people back to them. Uh-huh, ha, ha. Clearly it was a, I won't say cave in, a concession on the part of Democrats.

And Schumer said, I will oppose it.

But obviously he gave the wink and the nod for eight people to jump ship, right?

I don't know if he did.

I think that Schumer has kind of lost his way, honestly.

And look, he is getting blasted again for allowing this vote to take place and for conceding,

actually for winning nothing.

That's the thing, Mark, is that what did the Democrats get from all this?

What did they get from endangering air travelers in America

and throwing hundreds of thousands of government employees off their payrolls and for

causing SNAP beneficiaries to have a heart attack because they weren't going to get any SNAP payments?

The answer is they got nothing, zero. They're not going to get an automatic extension of the Obamacare subsidies that they were supposedly fighting for.

They're not going to get a rollback of the reforms to Medicaid that they're so opposed to.

They lost.

And I think, honestly, for Schumer, this is a catastrophe.

Look, their party is already eating their own.

This is just giving them more to feast on.

But correct me if I'm wrong.
