The government shutdown has now reached its 31st day, with no end in sight. Major Garrett joins us to discuss the impact on the American people and what's driving this prolonged impasse. We'll also dive into a new book that sheds light on globalization and why it needs a change.
Major Garrett has spent years covering politics for CBS News and has seen his fair share of government shutdowns. He shares with us how different politicians approach these situations and why some shutdowns tend to last longer than others.
The book in question, titled "Globalization for the 21st Century", argues that globalization has become too powerful and unregulated. The author believes it's essential to rebalance trade agreements and regulations to prioritize social welfare over corporate interests.
Our conversation with Major Garrett touches on the complexities of international relations, economic policy, and what's at stake in this prolonged shutdown. He also shares his insights on how different parties handle crises like this one.
From the American people's struggles to find work during a shutdown to the global economy's response to uncertainty, we explore it all.

. Thirty-one days is already an eternity and I fear that the impact on regular folks will only keep escalating. The more I read about how politicians tackle these situations, the more I realize that it's not just a matter of finding common ground – it's also about being willing to make some tough compromises.
. The book on globalization sounds like exactly the kind of rebalancing act we need right now. It's time to prioritize people over profits and get our trade agreements in check.
. We're already seeing ripples, but I worry that things could get much worse before they get better.
it's not just the us that suffers, but also other countries cuz of our economic ties... maybe globalization needs a shake-up? 
1/10 what do u guys think about this book "Globalization for the 21st Century"? has anyone read it? 
. It's causing so much stress on the people, especially those who rely on gov't services for their livelihood. The numbers are staggering - a whopping 800k federal workers are still without pay 
. And let's not forget about the economic impact... our economy took a hit during the last shutdown, with the stock market losing over 10% of its value 
. I'm so curious to know what Major Garrett has to say about this... is it gonna take more than just a book to fix things? 
I'm just hoping they can come to some kind of agreement soon so we can get back to normal life 
. Major Garrett seems like a really knowledgeable guy, maybe he can give us some insight into what's going on behind the scenes 
. It makes me think about the butterfly effect, you know? One tiny change can ripple out and affect everything else.
. And that got me thinking... why do we let them do this to us? Why don't we just stand up for ourselves and demand better?
.
. Interesting that the book "Globalization for the 21st Century" says globalization needs a change 
. I mean, who doesn't need better work-life balance and fair trade agreements? 
Major Garrett's experience in politics is super helpful to understand what's going on behind the scenes 
.
. He explains things in a way that makes sense and I appreciate his honesty. We need more of those kind of conversations happening in our country 
.
. And that book on globalization... I feel like it's time for a change, you know? Globalization's had its benefits, but when does corporate interest get prioritized over people's lives? It's getting out of control 
And this book about globalization sounds kinda interesting... I mean, who doesn't want to see some balance between corporate interests and social welfare, right? 
. And that new book sounds super interesting - I love how the author is speaking out about globalization needing a change 
. Can't wait to hear more from Major Garrett and what he has to say about it 
. Major Garrett seems like a cool dude, but even he can't fix this mess... yet 
I get that politics can be messy, but this is getting ridiculous. The people are suffering - no paychecks for thousands of federal employees and their families, delayed services for seniors and veterans... it's just not right 
. The uncertainty is stressing her out. What's really driving this prolonged impasse? Is it politics, ideology or just plain old-fashioned disagreement? 
It's not like we haven't seen this before, but each time it seems to be worse 
.
. The author of that new book might just be hitting the nail on the head - we need some balance between corporate interests and social welfare 
. But how do you make it happen? That's the million-dollar question
