At home the US is mired in domestic dysfunction with a government shutdown now in its second week. But abroad, President Trump has brokered a deal that – although it didn’t win a Nobel Peace Prize – could end the two-year Gaza war. Laurel Rapp and Max Yoeli join guest host Christopher Sabatini.
They discuss the effects of the government funding crisis and protracted political deadlock on the US economy, international investment, the military and foreign policy.
