Government Shutdown Day 28 | Ep 170

Tonight on the show we dive into the thick of it: the U.S. federal government remains in a shutdown going into Day 28, with funding for critical services including the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP/EBT) for over 40 million Americans on the brink. Meanwhile, we expose the growing underground market of EBT benefit trafficking and fraud, from large-scale schemes involving government insiders to smaller but destructive scams targeting refugees and low-income families. Add in the backdrop of partisan blame-games in Congress, states suing the administration, and millions potentially losing access to food and basic services, and you’ve got tonight’s hot-button issues. Join us as we break it all down, what’s really driving the shutdown, who’s getting squeezed, who’s profiting, and what might (or might not) happen next.
