We’re joined by Grover Norquist from Americans for Tax Reform to talk about the looming government shutdown and the deeper political dynamics unfolding in Washington. Norquist breaks down the current state of play, highlighting the Republican-led House’s push for a two-month continuing resolution to maintain flat spending levels, while Senate Democrats appear poised to block it in pursuit of major increases in spending.

He explains how this political standoff may impact federal funding, especially if Democrats refuse to cooperate without adding $1.5 trillion in new expenditures. Norquist also critiques Democratic leadership for what he sees as a willingness to shut down the government for political leverage. He compares the moment to a chaotic scene from Animal House, where futile actions are embraced. For more on these budget battles and fiscal policy, Norquist encourages listeners to visit ATR.org and follow him on Twitter at @GroverNorquist. It's a fast-moving story with high stakes in D.C.

Brett kicks off the program by talking about a new peace plan between Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump and rising violent crime in American communities. He expresses skepticism that lasting peace is possible so long as groups like Iran and Hamas remain unchanged, then pivots to a string of violent incidents over the weekend: a nightclub shooting in North Carolina, an attack at an LDS church in Grand Blanc, and the court appearance tied to an attempted assassination involving Charlie Kirk. Frustrated and emotional, Brett calls for harsher penalties, longer prison terms, and stricter accountability for judges and magistrates

We're joined by Breaking Brett Jensen to talk about the emotional congressional hearing held in Charlotte and the growing outrage over rising violent crime. Brett was on the ground at the hearing, where he witnessed powerful testimonies from victims' families and law enforcement. One of the most gripping moments came from Mr. Federico, the father of a young woman murdered in South Carolina, who passionately confronted a congresswoman after she misidentified his daughter. Brett also shared the story of a Charlotte officer who lost his foot in the April 27 shooting and spoke out about the failures of the justice system, especially with criminals being released before paperwork is even complete. He highlighted the disconnect between activists claiming the city is safe and the lived experiences of citizens and officers
