Oct 3, 2025
The government shutdown is framed as a political game by Democrats, with claims of them wanting taxpayer-funded healthcare for undocumented immigrants. A past debate shows all Democratic candidates supporting this coverage. In blue cities, rising crime rates are linked to progressive policies and Soros-backed DAs, who are accused of failing to prosecute violent criminals. The discussion also critiques efforts to defund police and bail reform. Solutions like the Clean D.C. Act are proposed to combat these issues.
