Do Washington Politicians Even Want America to Win

from The Todd Huff Show · host Todd Huff

Are politicians in Washington more concerned about political optics than American victory? Todd Huff explores the troubling incentives shaping congressional behavior—from blocking election integrity reforms like the SAVE Act to stalling Department of Homeland Security funding while airport security lines grow and border enforcement suffers. Todd also examines the stunning lawsuit from members of Congress seeking retroactive pay raises while the nation faces massive debt. Drawing a powerful parallel to the story of King Hezekiah in the Old Testament, Todd asks whether today’s leaders are focused only on short-term political gain rather than the long-term health of the country. If America is facing serious global threats, shouldn’t our leaders be acting like it?
