The Washington Affect's podcast: Recent Episodes
Murray Edwards
Political commentary on how the decisions made in Washington DC affect the people and business community across the country on a daily basis.
Over the last 2 years, we have watched the systematic tearing apart of the American way. The Federal Government has and is imposing their will on the people of our country.
We have watched as the Biden administration, along with their minions across the country rip at the soul of what made United States a beacon of freedom. Freedom of speech, freedom of choice, freedom to protect one’s family, freedom to raise your children as you see fit – these freedoms are now at risk in a manner never seen before.

Issues around the vote for Speaker of the House for the 118th Legislative Session.
What was perceived as chaos by so many was honest, frank, and tough discussions needed to be held to give the people back their voice via their representatives
The 118th Legislative is now set to begin, they’ve got a lot to clean up, damage to repair, and setting a path for a better America for all, not just the select few..
It has become obvious that the elitist in DC seem not to care about the American people. They only care about the power and control that they can obtain and maintain. There are few that stand for the people they represent, it’s only about the party line with and the collaborations they can create.
It is a sad day when Senate Republicans, 18 to be exact, decide to go along with Democrats, and completely ignore what the voters decided on election day, put the Republicans in control of the House.
$1.7T in spending, of that, nearly $800B is discretionary spending. That’s where we’ll find the junk, all these pet projects put in by the legislators, so they can go back to their districts and shout to the skies, “See what I did, I brought millions of people’s tax dollars to the district, you gotta like me now”.
Our two-party system has become an albatross around our necks, because neither seems to care about the damage they are inflicting on the people of our country.
Don’t assume that someone else is going to fight this battle for you, engage with likeminded individuals, create neighborhood groups to discuss what you can do to make a difference. Most importantly, get engaged. Our Founders fought for our freedoms. Future generations are counting on us to ensure that they’ll continue to have a safe and free country in which to reside. We can’t go down without a fight.
Everything that happens up in DC affects you, me, our families and businesses. The laws they pass, the regulations the agencies put in place, can create issues for our daily lives, you must educate yourself in order to understand what they are doing, you’ll never the full answer from the elitist at the top. They hope that you’ll simply fall in line and obey them – that’s what they are counting on.
It's time to stand up and tell them, “Enough is enough, you work for us, we don’t work for you”. If they won’t listen, it’s time for them to go. Remind them of that every chance you get.
