Listen "The Government Shutdown, Department of War Secretary Pete Hegseth, and Getting Taxes to $0"

Episode Synopsis

There is nothing bigger happening in the news than the government's fiscal shutdown, and this week, Ben gets to the bottom of what is going on with Chuck Schumer and the Senate Democrats. Why are they so reluctant to vote through the Continuing Resolution passed by the Senate? Is this the leftist wing of the Democrat party pressuring Chuck Schumer to fight, or is this a play for him to save his own political career with the threat of a looming primary loss to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez? PLUS: Ben examines the impact of Department of War Secretary Pete Hegseth, how the fiscal shutdown is affecting the military, and what it would take to reduce the Income Tax to $0!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
