Of course, the federal government shutdown -- now in its 34th day -- was the topic of discussion, and Trump blamed the Senate Minority Leader for what is inching toward becoming the longest shutdown in U.S. history ... the current record is 35 days, occurring during Trump's first term.

She talked about splitting with Trump on a variety of issues, including releasing the Epstein files, healthcare, opening the government, and pouring money into foreign aid -- especially to Argentina -- while 42 million Americans don't know where they'll get their next meal.

Don't get it wrong ... she loves President Trump, but first and foremost, she says she's repping her district in Georgia, where people are really suffering, and she says she won't play politics with them.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the new management at CBS News has their eye on "multiple" on-air people. We do not know who specifically, but we're told it's definitely more than one.

The shake-up comes amid a sweeping overhaul led by newly appointed CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss, who's been making moves across the network ... axing two streaming shows, cutting roughly 100 staffers, and parting ways with several on-air anchors and correspondents.
