The TRUTH Behind The Government Shutdown

Brian Shapiro takes the government shutdown head-on — in three different contexts.

First, he debates Tim Pool on who is actually responsible. Then Brian breaks down the moral stakes when millions could lose SNAP benefits and healthcare. And finally, he reacts to a major news clip that exposes the lie pushing this shutdown narrative.

This is a full arc — the confrontation, the explanation, and the receipts.

Chapter and its affiliates are not connected with or endorsed by any government entity or the federal Medicare program. Chapter Advisory, LLC represents Medicare Advantage HMO, PPO, and PFFS organizations and stand alone prescription drug plans that have a Medicare contract. Enrollment depends on the plan’s contract renewal. While we have a database of every Medicare plan nationwide and can help you to search among all plans, we have contracts with many but not all plans. As a result, we do not offer every plan available in your area. Currently we represent 50 organizations which offer 18,160 products nationwide. We search and recommend all plans, even those we don’t directly offer. You can contact a licensed Chapter agent to find out the number of products available in your specific area. Please contact Medicare.gov, 1-800-Medicare, or your local State Health Insurance Program (SHIP) to get information on all of your options.
