The Government Shutdown Means the End of the Republic? | Guest: Alex Petkas | 10/31/25



With the ongoing government shutdown, funding for critical services is about to lapse. Food stamps could run out this weekend, and the military is being paid by a private billionaire while Congress holds its wages hostage. Historian Alex Petkas of the “Cost of Glory” podcast joins me to discuss what happens to a republic when the grain dole gets cut off and patricians are funding the legions with their own wallets.   Follow on: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-auron-macintyre-show/id1657770114 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3S6z4LBs8Fi7COupy7YYuM?si=4d9662cb34d148af Substack: https://auronmacintyre.substack.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/AuronMacintyre Gab: https://gab.com/AuronMacIntyre YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/c/AuronMacIntyre Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-390155 Odysee: https://odysee.com/@AuronMacIntyre:f Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/auronmacintyre/
