Welcome to "647" Ep 139, where we rip the mask off America’s political circus and ask: are our leaders really this clueless, or is it all just performance art? Spoiler: It’s both. This week, Chuck takes you on a wild ride through the latest headlines and political facepalms: Trump kills the penny (because it costs more to make than it’s worth—sound familiar?) The Clinton Foundation’s greatest hits (and why the “Clinton Corruption Files” might finally see daylight) Senate drama queens, shutdown shenanigans, and the “Schumer Shutdown” spectacle Ted Cruz, phone snooping, and the FBI’s greatest overreach Obamacare: the money grab that keeps on giving (to everyone but you) Socialists and communists winning elections, $25 minimum wage dreams, and why your Big Mac might soon cost $32 Why New Yorkers are fleeing, and how bad ideas have a ripple effect all the way to Florida It’s time to wake up, laugh, and maybe cry a little at the state of the Republic. If you’re tired of being a sheeple, this episode is your alarm clock.
