On Friday’s Mark Levin Show, WJNO’s Brian Mudd fills in for Mark. It’s chilling that anti-American Senate Democrats voted against pay for military and essential workers amid the 31-day government shutdown. These Democrats are making them political pawns. President Trump is doing what he can - he ordered all available funds to be identified and allocated to cover the $5.3 billion payday. The average American hasn’t felt this shutdown and Republican polling has surged during it. This is the second longest shutdown, closing in on those 35 days of the longest that we had back in 2019 during Trump's first term. You don't even remember that and 2019 was a great year. Later, two federal judges expect the Trump administration wave a magic wand and come up with money to pay SNAP, which expires Saturday. It’s also chilling that Jack Smith weaponized the DOJ by issuing 197 subpoenas to 34 individuals and 163 businesses, targeting records of over 430 Republicans and entities creating an "enemies list.” This government overreach against political opposition is unsurprising after the Trump-Russia hoax and impeachments. Afterward, in the past 31 days, Trump has neutralized nearly a third of drug-running boats entering the US, secured $5 billion in tariffs and most-favored-nation status, negotiated AstraZeneca's prescription drug pricing to save Americans over $15 billion annually while attracting $50 billion in domestic R&D investments, finalized a Chinese trade deal ending the US soybean embargo and promising a fentanyl crackdown, and lifted the estimated economic growth rate to 3.9% per the Atlanta Fed GDP tracker.
