The U.S. is now facing the longest government shutdown in American history — 38 days and counting. In this episode, we break down how the shutdown affects real people, from furloughed workers and the military to air traffic control, IRS delays, and the economy at large.

We dive into what’s really happening in Washington, why Congress can’t reach an agreement, and how these political standstills hurt every taxpayer.

Join us as we separate fact from politics, talk about what it means for your wallet, and uncover what’s next for the nation.
