VF Hive hosts Kristen Scholer and Jon Kelly discuss the week's biggest news stories. From student protests to Jared Kushner's security clearance, it's been a non-stop week in Washington. Vanity Fair's Nick Bilton discusses what the student protest in Tallahassee, Florida could do to change gun-reform. Emma Gonzalez seems to be leading the pack with the #NeverAgain movement. Bilton says a lot of the Gen Z generation has grown up with social media and are comfortable in front of cameras. He notes this may be why it's the first time we're actually seeing a response of this magnitude to a shooting. Plus, Jared Kushner is still fighting for his security clearance. Vanity Fair's Emily Jane Fox says that before the Kushner's even got to the White House they made enemies. However, the biggest enemy of all may be John Kelly. Fox says no one wants the President's daughter and son-in-law running the White House, especially Kelly.

And many workers are now going without pay as the U.S. government shutdown has now dragged on for more than a month.
