The Annie Frey Show Podcast

We're asking this question again, which we asked earlier this week, to see if there's been any change of heart. The President certainly wants it to happen. Democrats almost did it already, so they want it to happen too, but only when they're in charge. We have Rep. Darin LaHood on the show today in a gerrymander quagmire, and Sen. Eric Schmitt on Arctic Frost.

This conversation quickly evolves (devolves?) into a discussion about Jordan Binnington putting pucks in his pants. BUT, they're very famous pucks. And that's what matters.

A tale of corruption fit for the movies, and which is getting little publicity outside of the 9 Senators who are talking about it openly. The fact is, the Biden Justice Department targeted certain GOP Senators, and Eric Schmitt is one of them.

Gerrymandering hits home, when Rep. Darin LaHood might be hit by Pritzker. But listen to the Illinois Governor's explanation on why he just HAS to do this, and hates gerrymandering, it's so sad this is happening to him but what else can he do?

They came after 9 US Senators, and guess what they all had in common? (They were all Republicans). This is the Biden DOJ we're talking about here, and Eric Schmitt, Senator from Missouri is here this hour to discuss, as one of the victims.

It will come down to a few key questions, like, what constitutes and emergency? And are tariffs explicitly granted to the President by Congress? Hans is here to talk it over, as the Supreme Court does the same.

The price of gas is coming down, but will we ever see food prices go down? It's unlikely, and there are good reasons for that. Let's discuss, and then Hans Von Spakovsky is here to talk about tariffs.

We're split on this poll, what say you? Yesterday was not a good election for the GOP, but they were indeed in blue-states and cities. Deroy Murdock is on the show, and we dive into some post-election numbers, like ya do.

There's a controversy brewing in Southern Illinois, over two teams: Fairfield and Porta. Porta got 5 downs on one drive, so Porta sorta scored a field goal when they shouldn't have. What happens next....

How bad will it be in NYC? According to Deroy, it's "socialism with showtunes," and it's about to happen in the American experiment of it's biggest city. Will Wall Street stay?

We all do it. Well, except for Annie, who doesn't care. And Brad, who cares about everything. Okay, Ryan does it. So what are we supposed to pretend to care about?

Socialism does not bring power to the people, but the people seem to think it will. We comb over the elections yesterday, which brought Democrat gains up and down.

You're more optimistic than us, voting yes, while all 3 of us on the show voted no. But we'll know soon! These are democrat strongholds, typically, so it will be tough, especially in a blue-backlash year. Rep. Jason Plummer is here to talk about what democrats are trying to push through in Illinois, again, and Rep. Jason Smith of MO updates us on health insurance at the federal level.

Shouldn't gyms have clear policies on this? And if they do, who decided it was to throw out the WOMEN who are complaining about naked men in the shower room? Then, stick around for Ethan's White Winos, and Xs and Ys.

Dems admit their healthcare plan failed, that's why they need more money to run it now. How long should we keep propping up Obamacare before we decide it needs major changes?

And they're aligned with us as a democracy, why wouldn't we want to work with them, even if we don't see eye-to-eye on everything? Sen. Jim Talent is also Chairman of the Reagan Institute's National Leadership Council.

There are rumblings, but so far, they're just that: rumblings. The Democrats want to spend a lot more money, and they're willing to...spend less money in the meantime...to get it? Sen. Jim Talent and Rep. Jason Smith in this hour.

"And JB Pritzker is the one driving the bus." Our problems are exclusively driven by bad public policy in Illinois, says Sen. Jason Plummer.

That's what Ron DeSantis of Florida says about how he's leading Florida. And guess which state is growing more? We have Jason Plummer on this hour, State Senator from IL, to talk about this very thing.

The results of this poll are highly splintered, so what say you? We have Ryan Schmelz and Rep. Eric Burlison talking about the government shutdown latest, and Steve Moore to talk economy AND how unaffordable the Affordable Care Act has become.

Elon Musk is...MR. DOGE!!! And he's back with another exciting tale of waste! In this episode, Mr. Doge describes a harrowing free fall of taxpayer dollars being PROTECTED BY DEMOCRATS KNOWINGLY! It's a shocking tale that will not shock you at all!

Rep. Eric Burlison is MO-7 federal congressional representative, here to update us on the shutdown, and why he's staying in his district, partially for his own sanity! He also shows he's got a plan: And it's for a better version of health insurance in America.

He's a Distinguished Fellow in Economics at Heritage, and our guest today to talk-not just about Obamacare's high costs to Americans- but WHY it failed to do anything it promised.

Many people, including many conservatives, don't know about this obvious scandal, which netted the democrats roughly 5 extra electoral college seats for the next decade. We discuss, and Rep. Eric Burlison joins the show.

It's true! We're in a new record as of tomorrow, as SNAP and other payouts are passed their deadline and drying up. Plus, there's an Epstein file release twist to this interview. Check it out.

A short lesson in how bills are passed, or how they don't pass, since rarely anything of substance makes it past the Senate. Then, Ryan Schmelz on this record-breaking (as of tomorrow) government shutdown.

Teenage, High School, College, or never! Those are the options on this Halloween Friday the 31st, with spooktacular puns in an absolute minimum, because they drive us batty. We open the show with a standard ICE-related Halloween message from JB Pritzker.

We discuss the concept of trick or treating in a neighborhood you have no connection to. Seems like a stretch. But also, what's the worst Halloween costume you've ever had?

His short answer is, no, but...could Yadi manage at some point though? We're searching for an answer, to this, and many other questions, especially when it involves giraffes and zoo news!

"The Constitution is what it is, and Donald Trump knows this." Our thoughts exactly, Mr. Hawley! Trump 2028 is a hat, and little else, from a guy who likes to troll.

Is that true? Of course not! Canadians loathe the thought of true freedom, so it can't be true. But did Kamala's campaign manager actually ask if they could "find" 200,000 votes? You can listen here.

It smacks of "and we would've gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for you meddling kids!" The governor of Illinois is concerned about ICE raids this weekend, more than anything else troubling Illinois.

Hans Von Spakovsky on Arctic Frost, Rep. Mike Bost on government shutdown, and Joe Concha on democrat messaging on this loaded Annie Frey Show on a Thursday, going into Halloween.

We are all over the map this hour, discussing everything from Snow Leopard reproduction to Beaker from the Muppets, and then consequentially, doing Beaker from the Muppets instead of news.

"I always caution to look at polls 3 years before an election," says Joe Concha, Fox News Contributor. He lists the names of Jeb Bush, Rudy Giuliani, and others as "inevitable" nominees that didn't pan out.

It did not bring competition, better care, or cheaper options. None. "I believe Obamacare was built to fail in the first place," says Rep. Mike Bost, so the only option would be socialized medicine.

Do you like Christian music? Is it better than Cardi B, at least? Let's find common ground, and talk to both Rep. Mike Bost and Joe Concha about the Washington latest.

These same people run the government no matter who is the President, but that's why Trump and Co. are gutting it, and having a tough time doing it, with judges like Boasberg there only to stop or slow it.

The press conference happens daily, but the message is the same: Democrats will not negotiate with Republicans. Is the reverse true? Or is it a matter of opening the government first?

We're split on this topic, but can tell you now, nobody wants Standard Time. Aside from that, it's time to break down socialism for all it's ills, and New York City's future, and Harris Faulkner is on the show to talk about kids!

We're talking to Gavin Newsom, about Gavin Newsom, who is a slicky salesman of whatever the soup of the day happens to be. Also, we have a text line now! And Artic Frost Whistleblower updates.

"I'm worried about kids committing suicide because of what they're exposed to," says Harris Faulkner, of Fox News. Especially when it's not even a person behind tragic, awful advice.
