America is shutting down, not because of a storm or a war, but because Congress has forgotten how to govern. In this powerful #GoRight with Peter Boykin monologue, we break down the truth behind the continuing government shutdown, the frozen food-stamp benefits, and the political theater both parties are using to manipulate voters before local elections.

This is not about blaming Trump or Biden. It is about exposing how Washington has turned our Constitutional Republic into a hostage of fear, division, and incompetence. Peter Boykin reveals how Democrats exploit fear while expanding welfare for illegal immigrants, how some Republicans are cheering on policies that harm legal citizens, and how both sides have lost sight of the bigger picture. A rich nation failing to protect its own people is betraying its founding promise. We do not need socialism. We need accountability. We do not need political theater. We need leadership. We do not need division. We need Americans first every time.

Speaker 1 (00:05):
Welcome back to hashtag Go Right with Peter Boyken, where
truth still matters and America still comes first.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Today's episode ask.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
A question that too many in Washington seem afraid to answer.
Is our safety net failing its own citizens while politics
plays chicken? This isn't about left or right. It's about
whether our constitutional republic is still capable of taking care
of its own people. A mother in Pennsylvania wakes up

(00:38):
every morning to check her phone for an update from
her state's food assistant's office. In previous months, she received
her benefits right on time, but now she receives a
warning there may be no.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
Food money at all.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
Her cart is half empty, her kids are hungry, and
the same federal government that took her taxes when she
worked is now telling her there's nothing left to give back.
That's not politics, that's personal. Remember we fight for what's right.

(01:16):
Because it's time to go right. The United States government
is in one of the longest shutdowns in our history.
Agencies are frozen, workers are furloughed, and more than forty
million Americans legal citizens face the real possibility that their
food benefits will vanish overnight or at least temporarily, and

(01:42):
the fact that this is in November, the November months,
the winter months. Folks, back in the old days when
people were able to take care of themselves and they
had to basically to get through the years. Back in

(02:02):
the old prairie days, you spent your warm ups, your
summer months preparing. Just like squirrels go out and gather nuts,
you prepare for the winter. Now that we have more population,
more supply chain, more dependence on the government, and more
dependence on the whole picture of it all, we don't

(02:26):
really prepare for winter. We know we can go to
the grocery store, we know we go make money, we
know we pay for food. So that makes it even
more damaging that this is coming during a winter.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
The winter months.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
But folks, this isn't about blaming doctor Truck. This isn't
about blaming bite. It's about a Congress that's completely lost
touch with the people it serves. Instead of governing their
grand stamp instead of budgets, they're trading in souls.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
And while both.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
Parties argue about who's to blame, real people are going
without dinner tonight.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
Let's get something straight.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
The government doesn't just stop feeding people because of one man.
It stops because Congress refused to pass a funding people.
It stops because leadership has become a show instead of
a service. The USDA says it can't legally release food

(03:30):
stamp funding without appropriations. They have billions sitting in contingency funds,
but those funds are being with help reserved for emergencies.
Now tell me if forty million Americans going hungry isn't
an emergency, what is. We've got politicians who can find

(03:51):
endless cash for foreign aid, for war, for I dare
say it, gender programs abroad, but they can't feed American
citizens here at home. That's not leadership, that's portrayal. And
here's where it gets worse. Democrats are already using the

(04:14):
shutdown as a political weapon for local elections, municipal races,
school boards, city councils. They're screaming, quote Republicans shutdown, Well,
Republicans like to shoot, shout out Schumer shutdown. But while
quietly ignoring that their own policies helped overload the welfare system,

(04:38):
They've banned free health care and benefits for non citizens
while legal American families are being told to wait.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
That's not compassion, that's manipulation.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
Meanwhile, some Republicans are cheering on the shutdown like it's
a victory for physical responsibility. They post online saying good
in welfare. But here's the truth, and they don't want
to admit it. Welfare isn't a left or right issue.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
It's a moral.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
If we live in the richest country on earth and
still can't make sure that every legal citizen has food, clothing, shelter,
and medicine, something is deeply wrong. I'm not calling for socialism,
I'm not calling for communism, but I am calling for responsibility.

(05:35):
We can't let pride blind us to suffering. We can't
let politics erase compassion. And because a nation that can't
feed its own people cannot claim to lead. Honestly, folks,
a nation that can't feed its own people, it cannot

(05:56):
claim to lead the free world. Can tell yourself America first.
If Americans are the last to be.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
Helped, now, let me be blunted. We're living in a.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
Nation where the most powerful government in history can't keep
its lights on, can't feed its citizens, and can't stop
arguing long enough to do its job. Democrats claim Republicans
want to starve the poor, but it's the left that
pushed endless spending, open borders, and benefits for those who

(06:30):
broke our laws to get here. Republicans say cutting aid
teaches discipline, but starving children doesn't teach responsibility.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
It just reveals indifference.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
Both sides are playing chicken with real lives, and every
time they crash, it's the American citizens who get crushed.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
This is what I call the starving of the Republic.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
It's not just food Aid that's being cut off, it's hope.
It's accountability. When government fails to feed its own citizens
but sends billions overseas, that's not strength, that's hypocrisy. We
need a new approach, one that puts citizens first, one
that balances compassion with responsibility, and one that remembers the

(07:24):
role of a government is not to divide us by party,
but to serve us equally under the Constitution. We can
fund wars, but we can't feed families. We can bail
out corporations, but we can't help veterans eat. We can
send rockets to Mars, but we can't send hope. Bone

(07:47):
enough enough, folks, A constitutional republic survives only when it's
leaders remember who they serve and that's we the people.
Those people are hungry not just for food, but for truth,
for leadership, and for dignity. This isn't capitalism, this isn't socialism,

(08:12):
this isn't Marxism, this isn't a call for any of that.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
This is survival. This is justice.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
This is what America was built on, the idea that
no citizen should be left behind. So here's the challenge
to every voter, every activist, every patriot listening right now.
Stop letting the left weaponize fear, stop letting the right

(08:44):
confuse cruelty with courage, and start demanding leadership that serves people,
not politics or donors or whoever else is in their pocket.
Because until Washington remembers its duty to feed it's citizens,
the republic is starving, and the only cure is accountability.

The Burden

The Burden

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
