The Annie Frey Show Podcast

Hello to those of you who are brand new, and hello again for those of you who've been here for a long time! We have government shutdown news, but is it the news you want? Plus: Katie's pizza, Halsey songs, and Hillary Clinton doesn't like white Christianity, however that's defined.

Not enough Democrats voted for the resolution, so into the weekend we go. In this hour: Muscle Shrimp, Fiscal Responsibility, and Brad watches make-up tutorials A LOT.

Are these stories real or fake? Did Marco Rubio take the jobs of 750,000 federal employees? Find out!

Promises made, promises kept. Trump is creating peace in the streets one city at a time, even in places like Chicago.

Karoline Leavitt is speaking from the White House about Russ Vought's plans to start cutting unnecessary jobs from the federal government to save money. Which begs the question: Why wouldn't we do this?

Funny, no bother, not helpful, or they're shameful. If you're thinking they're shameful, you probably already hated the Trump. Joe Concha, Rep. Jason Smith, and Hans Von Spakovsky join the show, the latter saying, "I've never seen as smart or clear a counter move" by Trump, concerning this shutdown.

And the sombrero, and the memes, and the jokes, and the laughs. They're all here! It's America 2025! Bring out the fart spray and dumpster dive McDonalds' Monopoly pieces, this is where we have fun!

"Yeah, but they'll call you a racist!" But what's new? So why not have a little fun with a meme? Joe Concha is a Fox News Contributor.

Here is exactly why Democrats are losing the messaging war this time with Republicans on the government shutdown: Republicans have passed a continuing resolution to keep government open, and Dems won't vote on it.

Is this the same Trump as term one? In a lot of ways, yes, but in some attitude shifts, not so much. Rep. Jason Smith and Joe Concha in this hour.

It's regarding his moves on the government shutdown. To see exactly how this has played out, listen to Annie with Hans Von Spakovsky, Senior Legal Fellow at Heritage.

Are you one bad news story away from breaking, or do you take it all in stride? Donald Trump has broken the minds and wills of Democrats in Congress by posting a meme of Hakeem Jeffries in a sombrero.

It's a big show with Gov. Mike Kehoe talking about Missouri's new restrictions on SNAP benefits, Senator Eric Schmitt on the Schumer Shutdown, and a discussion about what "normal" is anyway.

Even if you have "been wronged" it doesn't have to be your identity. Speaking of identity, we discuss what "normal" is, and the tragic messages we send to kids in the veil of self-discovery.

"This thing's actually pretty simple," says Eric Schmitt, in comparison to most government shutdowns. The House passed a continuing resolution to keep things open for the time being- using Biden-level spending. And Democrats still shot it down.

There's more controversial programming, and the trouble is, this time it's aimed at kids. Do you subscribe to Netflix? Sen. Eric Schmitt and Deroy Murdock are with us this hour.

Missouri will seek a waiver from the Federal Government, so that your tax dollars are not paying for people to eat and drink free sugar on your dime.

Or Stalin, or any other horrible world leader from history for that matter. Maybe that's a good idea. Maybe the Hard Left could adopt that idea absent an actual Holocaust.

It's a little unclear. Maybe it has something to do with "healthcare?" But they won't pass the CR at Biden level spending...so...

Thune, and GOP leaders wait on 7 democrat senators to join with Republicans on averting a government shutdown, and Hegseth addresses fatness in the military. But is that even controversial? Wiggins returns, and so do Rep. Mike Bost, Sen. Jim Talent and Paul Mauro.

The answer, is obviously, no. Why can't the Annie Frey Show other than Wiggins accept that? Also, Bad Bunny is a cultural phenomenon, and did you ask you wife's dad for permission to marry her?

Is this political? It's certainly ideological against the church. If you want to know the motivation, a lot of times, is as easy as seeing who the target of the shooting is. Paul Mauro is a Fox News Contributor and former NYPD Inspector.

In NEW spending, yes, according to Sen. John Thune, the Democrats are currently trying to add $1,000,000,000,000 in spending above the current budget. Why? To devalue our currency maybe?

But how does Schumer get out of this one? The House Republicans already passed a budget over to the Senate. What happens next? A government shutdown? Mike Bost is here to talk about it, IL 12th district.

Yes, really! An agreement with Pfizer is supposed to lower drug prices, but "how" remains to be seen. And, let's discuss turn-of-the-century Democrats vs. the policy positions of the party today.
