Building a wall on the southern border was President Donald Trump’s key campaign pledge -- and his supporters are serious about it. So how do Trump voters view the recent shutdown over wall funding? We talk to Anne Sorock of The Frontier Lab -- she’s got some interesting polling data that paints a helpful picture of where the president’s base is. Plus: We look at The Washington Post's media bias on abortion this week. We also cover these stories:•Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is speaking out against House Democrats' bill that "would make Election Day a new paid holiday for government workers."•Pennsylvania confirms that over 11,000 non-citizens were registered to vote in that state.•A California restaurant owner says he will refuse to serve any customer who’s wearing a MAGA hat.The Daily Signal podcast is available on Ricochet, iTunes, SoundCloud, Google Play, or Stitcher.

Today's episode sounds the alarm as to whether our activist right-wing Supreme Court is ready to effectively overturn Roe v. Wade and essentially permit the entire state of Louisiana to all but ban the right to an abortion in that state. We're NOT an alarmist podcast, but this is something you need to be watching. We also follow up on the Trump Shutdown, answer a listener question regarding our discussion of the Hilton lawsuit from last episode, and (of course) take our weekly visit to Yodel Mountain, this time on the back of one Roger Stone. Are these all just "process crimes?" And what the hell does that mean, anyway? Strap in and find out!
We begin, however, with a brief look at the end of the Trump Shutdown and what's likely to come next.
After that, we tackle some questions and misperceptions regarding our story of the lawsuit against Hilton hotels from Episode 248.
Then, it's time for the main segment, which takes a look at a pending Supreme Court motion and discusses what this means for the future of Roe v. Wade and the right to a legal abortion in this country. Yes, it really is that significant.
Then, it's time for a trip to Yodel Mountain to discuss "process crimes" rapid-fire round of questions about Trump's shutdown. Why is Congress still getting paid? Who can sue, and why haven't they? Find out the answers to these questions and more!
We end, as always, with a brand new Thomas Takes the Bar Exam Question #112 about murder most foul! As always, remember to follow our Twitter feed (@Openargs) and like our Facebook Page so that you too can play along with #TTTBE!
