What does a government shutdown reveal about the state of our country and our identity as a nation? In this episode, we explore how repeated shutdowns reflect deeper issues in America's political and financial systems.

You’ll hear a breakdown of how unsustainable spending, partisan division, and political gamesmanship are weakening the United States’ brand both at home and on the world stage. More importantly, we look at what this means for everyday Americans and why civil conversation, not conflict, is the real solution.

Watch now to understand how political dysfunction affects more than policy. It affects who we are.
