Team 47 - Shutdown Schmutdown

Another government shutdown is being met by yawns, because we all know they’ll open it up eventually. Clay takes a deep dive into a very real issue that caused this shutdown: A fundamentally broken healthcare system.

Clay also breaks down the controversy over illegal immigrants receiving healthcare benefits in the Democrats’ continuing resolution. While Democrats claim federal funds aren’t directly paying for undocumented healthcare, Clay explains how federal dollars flow to states like California, New York, and Illinois, which then allocate funds for these services. He ties this to COVID-era spending that Democrats want to make permanent, warning that these embedded costs are fueling the shutdown fight.


How President Donald Trump was a turning point for the country and fueled Charlie Kirk’s ascension and saved the country. Why Clay is donating all of the proceeds from his new book “Balls: How Trump, Young Men, and Sports Saved America” to several charities, including Turning Point USA.
