Summary

As the government funding deadline looms on March 14, Democrats are predictably threatening to vote "no" on the Continuing Resolution (CR) bill that would keep the government operational for a few more months. This isn’t surprising—government shutdown threats are a familiar tactic, used by both Republicans and Democrats. What’s truly shocking, however, is that prominent GOP figures like Rand Paul and Thomas Massie, known for their patriotism and loyalty to the people, are also opposing this Trump-endorsed spending bill. The tension has escalated into a full-blown feud between Trump and Massie, with Trump even calling for Massie to be primaried. What’s going on here? Questions abound. Up next, Ryan Samsel joins the show to share his harrowing experience in the "DC Gulag," including the abuse he’s endured in solitary confinement which lead to his deteriorating health. Later, the tariff war heats up as Trump doubles down on Canada, while a ceasefire deal between Ukraine and Russia appears to be in the works. All this and more on today’s Untamed.

1:12.2	that has stood in the same position the entire time. He's never voted for a continued
1:18.7	resolution. Never. Ever. And they said that he voted for Biden's continued resolution. It's just
