Guy Benson Show

Kim Strassel, Potomac Watch columnist for the Wall Street Journal, Fox News Contributor, and author of The Biden Malaise: How America Bounces Back from Joe Biden's Dismal Repeat of the Jimmy Carter Years, joined The Guy Benson Show today to break down Chuck Schumer's government shutdown and why it is directly hurting broad swaths of government workers while giving Vought and the Trump admin an opening for mass firings. Strassel explained why the "collective insanity" of the left has led Democrats to abandon their stance on clean CRs, and how the move is really about coddling the far left so Schumer has a message to run on when facing possible primary challenges. Strassel and Benson also broke down why the assassination of Charlie Kirk is now being used by universities as an excuse to shut down right-wing speech under the guise of "security concerns."

Kevin McCarthy, former Speaker of the House, joined The Guy Benson Show today to explain why Democrats will likely force a government shutdown on September 30th at midnight. McCarthy argued that Chuck Schumer and Democratic leadership feel threatened and are refusing to pass a clean continuing resolution, bowing instead to the pressure of a vocal, influential faction of the far left that threatens to bring new leadership to the party. Benson and McCarthy then discussed pointed the hypocrisy of the Democrats, noting that Dems are now embracing the exact same tactics that Barack Obama once condemned Republicans for using during his presidency.

Blackburn also argued that Democrats' push to provide healthcare for illegal immigrants is part of their long-term agenda is radical and doesn't address the need to get America's "fiscal house in order."

Eli Lake, reporter at The Free Press and contributing editor at Commentary, joined The Guy Benson Show today to weigh in on the new potential deal between Israel, Hamas, and others. Lake explained why the deal will almost certainly be rejected by Hamas, but noted the interesting possibility that the proposal could weaken Hamas in the eyes of many world leaders. He also broke down how Hamas remains so backward that they view Palestinian deaths as "worth it," citing their refusal to acknowledge the ultimate failure of the October 7th massacre or accept repeated ceasefire offers. Benson and Lake also discussed the recent "ArabCon" event, where dismissive punchlines about condemning massacres,  underscored the dangerous mindset of many on that side.
