Shutdown Showdown: 41 Days of Political Hypocrisy
Manage episode 519114980 series 2930329
Forty-one days of government shutdown proved one thing: politicians protect their paychecks, not the people. While air traffic controllers, military families, and SNAP recipients struggled, leaders on both sides played partisan games and walked away with nothing but assurances for themselves. The Rant Network podcast dives into the absurdity of this shutdown, the hypocrisy of political elites, and the rare voices—like John Fetterman—who dared to cross the aisle. Chaos in Washington, chaos at the airports, chaos at the dinner table—this is the cost of broken leadership.
