Paul Stewart-Ford 0:00
It's again the time of the year that everyone has been waiting for. People are in a hurry and in a hurry. First a gift, then to the grocery store. Sometimes cleaning and packing is also a must. To the kitchen, boxes in the kitchen, it's about to start. Food on the table, snacks on the table and to eat. Then we share the gifts. We'll repeat the same thing the next day, but without gifts. Sleep on the day of the party. Finally and last try the best time of the year when the ice cream falls to the ice.

Mike Johnson 0:51
The Speaker's Room, Washington, D.C., October 31st, 2025. I hereby designate the period from Monday, November 3rd, 2025 through Sunday, November 9th, 2025 as a district work period under Clause 13 of Rule 1. Signed sincerely, Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House of Representatives.

And just like that, MAGA Mike ran away from the House of Representatives with all the MAGA Republican Congress members. You can't make this up. You heard for yourself. They gaveled out until November 9th, 2025. And then what are they going to do when they show back up on November 10th? MAGA Mike's going to have them gavel out again for another two to three weeks, I suspect through Christmas. They want to shut down the House of Representatives forever. So what's MAGA Mike, the MAGA Republicans, and Donald Trump doing? We know they're vacationing, but what specifically are they doing on vacation? Well, at Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans threw a great Gatsby Halloween-themed party And the theme of the party was called A Little Party Never Killed Nobody.
Ben Meiselas 2:05
That's the MAGA Republican Party with their billionaire friends. They're calling it A Little Party Never Killed Nobody at Mar-a-Lago. Of course, it's a song for the soundtrack to the 2013 film The Great Gatsby. And this was a roaring 20s themed party.
What happened?
Ben Meiselas 2:24
happened at the end of the 20s? What happened at the end of the roaring 20s? Was it the Great Depression? You can't make this stuff up, folks. And so while MAGA Mike adjourned, got out of Congress, fled with the MAGA Republicans to their great Gatsby-themed A little potty never killed nobody while Americans are suffering. Maga Mike made his rounds earlier in the day on state regime media known as Fox and others. And he was presented with some polling like, hey, Maga Mike, we're a little worried here on state regime media. Americans are blaming Republicans by wide margins. What do you think about that?
Unknown 3:02
Maga Mike here played this clip. So the Washington Post ABC poll says that by a 45-33% margin, they blame Republicans more than they do Democrats for the shutdown. It was 47-30. So what's your response to that?
Mike Johnson 3:19
Well, I'm not buying that poll because there's a lot of others who say, including a CNN poll that became pretty famous a couple of days ago, saying that the Republicans are winning and we're winning over independents and even Democrats who understand the reality of this whole situation. So Look, it's very clear where the blame lies. The Democrats admit themselves that they are the ones shutting the government down and they're having a hard time justifying that. So I do think the public pressure is building. You have a real pain that's going to be felt by many Americans, millions of Americans every day that this goes forward. And if we get past November 1st, it's a very serious situation for a lot of people.
Ben Meiselas 3:57
Oh, you don't believe that, Maga Mike? You don't believe those numbers? Maybe you wanna have your Republicans hold some town halls in their districts and maybe we can see how the people really feel about them. Then Maga Mike says, no, no, no, no chance we bring the House back into session until, he says, the government gets reopened. He goes, we're not even gonna speak to Democrats. Well, the whole reason it shut down is because you're depriving 20 million Americans of the Affordable Care Act subsidy extensions and you're going to kick them off of health care.
