The media wants you to panic. Headlines scream about furloughed workers, shuttered monuments and economic fallout. But what if the truth behind the government shutdown is more calculated than chaotic?
In this episode of Politics With The Big Dogs, host Anthony Holm cuts through the noise and exposes what the mainstream media isn’t saying. With decades of legal and political insight, Holm pulls back the curtain on the real forces driving federal dysfunction. Spoiler: It’s not just about budgeting—it’s about control, manipulation, and using fear to push unpopular agendas.
From bloated agencies to backroom negotiations, Anthony connects the dots between shutdown politics and the broader erosion of constitutional government. He explores the role of the Administrative State, the weaponization of executive power, and how shutdown theater is used to distract from deeper dysfunction—like failures in border security, inflation, and healthcare.
This isn’t partisan mudslinging. It’s a reality check for Americans who feel ignored, overtaxed, and fed up. If you’ve ever questioned why we fund agencies that work against our freedoms—or why Congress always seems to blink at the last second—this episode is for you.
With wit, grit, and a few sharp elbows, Politics With The Big Dogs brings you the constitutional clarity the Capitol would rather you ignore.
