American politics has become one big cage match. Owning the other side is social currency on social and news media.

Currency that is cashed in by grabbing attention, creating clickable headlines, and getting as many people to respond emotionally as possible.

Today, an inside look at how Washington works from Congressman David Schweikert. Despite this, Schweikert remains 'pathologically optimistic.'

On Equal Matters, the Congressman discusses:

The need for transparency and accountability in political contributions

The misuse of funds by consultants and fundraisers.

Needing a "charity navigator" for political action committees.

Congressman Schweikert has been in Washington for 14 years. Washington, he says, is about money, power, and vanity.

It's always about the money. Enjoy.

"The most important thing to understand about stress in terms of how your body works with stress, though, is that for your body to process stress, all stress has to turn physical in the body." - Dr. Steve Hruby (pronounced Ruby)

Physical, biochemical, and emotional.

Stress compounds in the body. As a chiropractor Dr. Steve works with the stresses the build up in our bodies.

Stress from working out. Stress from your lifestyle.

Throughout the episode, Dr. Hruby emphasizes the importance of awareness and education in making informed choices for your health and wellness. He delves into foundational factors for optimal health, such as sleep, nutrition, and nervous system balance

Welcome to Equal Matters, we are about to go deep.

Because America faces challenges politically. Congressman David Schweikert works on those challenges.

First and foremost, we are an aging country. An aging country that spends too much money. Without action now America will look much different in 9 years.

Senior poverty will double then because Social Security is facing a 25% cut. Which is why politicians normally don't tell you that.

Congressman Schweikert, or David as he insists being called, will.

Today you will learn about America's greatest challenge and what to do about it because the Congressman brings solutions.

We also talk about how we can help. This will be an effort if we are to encourage more politicians to tell us the truth about what's ahead of our country. Then we can work towards solutions.
