Is there a Republican Strategy for the Shutdown? S4E212 10.28.2025

Do you have a question or comment? Want to suggest a topic for our panel or be a guest on the Nova Society? Send us a message!Today our question is from Ollie, who lives in Memphis, TN, and Ollie asks Well, here we are, over 3 weeks into the government shutdown, with no end in sight. I’ve tried to look at this from the Republican side.  I know the panel always promotes that political action is usually motivated by a positive calculation, but I admit I can’t see how this benefits the Republicans.  Can you shed some light or insight on what benefits the Republicans think they might get from this shutdown?  I admit I’m totally in the dark. Support the showThe Nova Society Podcast In season 5, we will transition to 3 episodes per week and expand episode lengths for more in-depth conversations.Stay tuned for more information about our proposed weekly second channel, The Nova Society-Side Projects, where we have conversations with guests about topics important to them and to you, our listeners.
