8:19Now PlayingSimon Marks joins James O'Brien to discuss the latest in politics across the pond.
As the US enters its second full week of a government shutdown, Simon points out that Donald Trump is the 'first President ever' to 'relish' in a complete federal shutdown.
He outlines how the shutdown is 'perversely' benefiting Prince Andrew and gives Trump the 'capacity to expand his own powers'.
Donald Trump is also demanding a $230 million (£172million) payout from the Department of Justice for pursuing federal investigations into him, sources say.
Simon explains how it will fall to Trump's 'mates' to adjudicate whether he will receive the payout.
