Summary

It’s been a wild week on Capitol Hill. GOP Sen. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma and Teamsters union President Sean O’Brien almost came to blows in a Senate hearing. And Republicans averted a government shutdown, but only to push the deadline to next year. We’ll dig into the historically low congressional productivity amid a growing mountain of work. And we’ll hear President Joe Biden’s remarks about meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping. Plus, a look at YouTube’s AI musical experiment.

Here’s everything we talked about:

- “GOP senator challenges Teamsters president to fight during hearing” from The Hill

- “Did Biden and China’s Xi hit a reset? Not quite, but they agreed on a few things” from NPR

- “Take heart, it looks like China could send new pandas to the US” from The Associated Press

- “Government shutdown: Senate passes temporary plan before Thanksgiving” from USA Today

- “An early look our AI Music experiment” from YouTube

Join us tomorrow for Economics on Tap! The YouTube livestream starts at 3:30 p.m. Pacific time, 6:30 p.m. Eastern. We’ll have news, drinks, a game and more.
