The federal government has been shut down for three days now, but for those of us who don’t rely on government handouts, we haven’t noticed much difference. On this week's show, Matt and Brett discuss how the shutdown is on the heads of the Democrats as they attempt to reinstate taxpayer-funded health care for illegal aliens.

From President Trump’s state visit to the U.K. to the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show, it was another big news week here in America. They also were excited to welcome Kentucky State Senator Chris McDaniel to the program to talk about all things Kentucky politics. At the beginning of the year, longtime political fixture Senator Mitch McConnell announced his retirement from the U.S. Senate, and the race to replace him is taking shape with three major candidates announcing their bids for the seat.

A few weeks ago, they discussed the Trump admin taking over the D.C. police and how that’s a different animal because it is a federal district. But recently, Trump has tossed around deploying federal law enforcement to some blue cities to re-establish law and order. Brett and Matt discuss the historical reasons why America’s military forces have not been used for domestic law enforcement and the issues that could arise if future White Houses do not have the same conservative priorities of today.

It's another great episode of America in View! Political drama continues to play out state by state, as Texas and California present new districts for Congress. While Texas has almost completed their new map, California is only getting started and has a lot more legal obstacles to redraw their lines. But blue states may have their efforts undermined by what the New York Times reported this week: every state that reports voter registration by party has shown an increase for Republicans over the past four years. All 30 states! The national difference is 4.5 million more Republicans. Adam Kissel, noted conservative expert on education policy and author of Slacking: A Guide To Ivy League Miseducation, is our guest on this week's episode. Kissel is a visiting fellow for The Heritage Foundation and is a board member for multiple universities.
