GOP Playbook: Democrat Edition w/ Tim Miller & David Faris | The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart

As the government shutdown takes effect, Jon is joined by Roosevelt University Professor and contributing writer at The Nation David Faris, and "The Bulwark Podcast" host Tim Miller to examine Democratic strategy. Together, they explore what Democrats are hoping to achieve through the shutdown, discuss whether the party should rethink its resistance tactics and policy priorities, and consider what it would look like if Democrats embraced the hardball precedents Trump and Republicans have set when they eventually return to power. Plus, Jon weighs in on the launch of Trump and Hegseth's "no fatties" military policy.
