President Donald Trump speaks before a lunch with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the Cabinet Room of the White House, Friday, Oct. 17, 2025, in Washington.

President Donald Trump is receiving credit for brokering a peace deal in the Middle East.

While here at home, he’s threatening to send National Guard troops to Democratically-run cities and states.

In addition, a shutdown of the federal government is still taking place.

We’re talking about national politics this hour with Ken Rudin, host of the "Political Junkie" podcast.
