Episode  3 exposes how Washington has evolved into a self-serving machine, prioritizing power, money, and self-preservation over public service. It criticizes both parties for enabling a corrupt system fueled by lobbyists, special interests, and career politicians. Congressional hearings have become theatrical rather than productive, while unchecked government spending drives the nation deeper into debt. The chapter calls for sweeping reforms, including banning corporate donations, enforcing term limits, eliminating personal stock trading in Congress, and balancing the federal budget. It concludes by urging a return to accountable, efficient governance that empowers the American people—not entrenched elites.
