Tom's first guest today is the veteran Democratic congressman Steny Hoyer, who has represented Maryland's 5th District in the US House of Representatives since 1981.
Congressman Hoyer discusses the likelihood of what he calls a Republican-led shutdown of the federal government, the newly announced Trump proposal for an end to the Israel-Gaza war, and the outlook for Russia's three year-old war on Ukraine.
Because this conversation was recorded, we can't take any calls or emails.
(Audio of this program will be posted here early this afternoon.)
