Timestamp: 07:12 – 14:05; 19:25 – 24:17

The Debate

The panel dives into President Trump’s announcement calling for the GOP to use the “nuclear option” to end the government shutdown—a significant shift, since this tactic would end the filibuster to push through a continuing resolution with a simple majority.
Damon contends that the GOP currently holds the leverage and should not “throw up the towel,” fearing the precedent and long-term consequences.

Paul Nolan emphasizes that Trump uses public threats to pressure opponents, referencing The Art of the Deal: “You never make a deal unless you’re willing to walk away.” (10:43)
