Show Notes
Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers fill in for Sean, unpacking a new Gallup reading that puts congressional approval at 15 percent and a growing wave of members opting out of 2026 re-election bids. Former House Oversight Chair Jason Chaffetz joins to explain how broken appropriations, abandoned regular order, and endless continuing resolutions leave lawmakers exhausted and ineffective. He makes the case for term limits, restructuring the Speaker's role, even scrapping the Appropriations Committee, and highlights how the end of earmarks has stripped leadership of leverage. The conversation contrasts Democratic unity under Nancy Pelosi with Republican's challenges, notes Donald Trump's unique influence, and touches on proposals like voter ID and the SAVE Act as part of broader structural fixes.
