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.
