1:07:13Now PlayingStop Blaming the Military during the Shutdown | Anchor Watch with Bobby Jones
YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAs the government shutdown enters its third week, it’s already impacting the lives of those serving in the military and their families. Trump has claimed that he has a billionaire pal who’s willing to fund the military, which sounds like … a really, really, really awful idea (if it were actually true).
So here’s where we stand: The men and women who volunteered to serve in the strongest military in the world on behalf of the richest nation in the world cannot afford to feed themselves or their families. But one billionaire has extracted so much wealth from this system that HE ALONE CAN AFFORD TO FEED ALL OF THEM.
What are we even doing?
Meanwhile, Marjorie Taylor Greene is standing up to ACA cuts and to the logic behind the shutdown. She might believe in Jewish space lasers, but she also knows that her own children will not be able to afford healthcare or insurance if her own party gets its way. At some point, those who govern have to govern.
Bobby Jones goes into deep detail about all of this, plus we talk about the wild leak of Young Republicans’ text threads. Did you think those threads were going to be racist, misogynist, and, well, a little Nazi-ish?
If so, you win the prize. They were all of that and so much more.
We also dive into the chat. The audience for this show is among the best on Lincoln Square. Every episode feels like a conversation among a thousand or so of some of the most thoughtful, passionate Lincoln Square subscribers — even (and especially) when we disagree.
