Thursday: Johnson Punts the Shutdown Past Nov. 3

The House passed a stopgap funding bill 370-48 on Thursday, September 3, and Rush and Reagan aren't buying the victory lap Speaker Johnson is taking. That lopsided margin looks less like consensus and more like both parties dodging a fight they knew they'd lose before the midterms. Rush and Reagan break down what's actually in the bill and what it means for the months ahead. They trace this year's two record-breaking shutdowns and call out the identical playbook both parties ran while blaming each other. They replay the near-collapse of the rule vote, where five Republican defections almost sank the bill before two Democrats bailed out the floor. And they dig into the fine print — a blocked OMB grant-review rule, a Border Patrol transfer ban, and the spending add-ons that bought enough votes to get this thing passed. The real fight lands December 11th, in a lame-duck session with none of the incentives that produced this week's landslide. Reagan's already daring listeners to push back on her take — drop your argument and tune in to see who's right. 📣 We Want to Hear from You! - 📝 Submit a question Links Claim my Silver Offer https://go.heymato.com/rushlindell
