David Southern - ⁠https://tinyurl.com/David-Southern ------- We talk about how the government shutdown unfolded, what really happened with SNAP benefits, and how the Pentagon and Department of Defense used the distraction to move things quietly behind the scenes. The press played its part, keeping the public focused on the noise while something much bigger was happening out of view. This episode looks at how power works when everyone is looking the other way.
