The full first hour of The Sports Weekend w/ Steve Thomson featuring Jonathan Lowe and Lindsey Brown! Guests include Steve Carney and Jess Myers PLUS College Football Final

Hosts Kevin Flynn and Alex Taylor dedicate the episode to attacking the ongoing government shutdown, which they consistently label the "Democrat shutdown," now on its 29th day. They feature several Fox News audio clips (Tivo) of Republican leaders, including Senator John Thune and Senator Mark Wayne Mullen, slamming Democrats for using the suffering of American families—specifically SNAP and WIC recipients, and unpaid federal workers—as "leverage" for political gain. The hosts and their guests argue that the Democrats could end the shutdown immediately by passing a clean Continuing Resolution (CR) which they had previously voted for, but refuse to do so to force concessions like providing health care to illegal immigrants and restoring "pork" funding. The episode also touches on President Trump's successful foreign deals and local sports news.   Standout Moments:   The "Democrat Shutdown" Attack: Senator John Thune delivers a "fiery speech" where he details how the shutdown has hurt real people and notes that Republicans have voted 13 times to fund programs like SNAP, but Democrats have voted no to keep the government closed for leverage. (6:41) The Pork Problem: Senator Mark Wayne Mullen and JD Vance argue that Democrats are holding up the government to force the inclusion of $$1.5$ trillion in funding for waste, fraud, abuse, and health care for illegal immigrants into the reopening bill. (11:24) Democrat Poll Numbers Are Hurting: Fox News analysts discuss polling data showing that the shutdown is hurting Democrats, with the Republican Congress's net approval rating up 12 points with its base and 8 points among Independents. (15:58) New York's SNAP Share: It's revealed that almost 10% of the country's SNAP benefits—nearly $$700$ million of $$8$ billion a month—goes to New York, highlighting the state's significant stake in the funding fight. (16:16) Trump's Trade Successes: The host notes that President Trump was successful in meetings in South Korea and China, with China planning to buy a "ton of soybeans," hopefully emptying farmer's bins. (2:23) World Series Update: Toronto beats the Dodgers 6-1, taking a 3-2 lead in the World Series, with the host enthusiastically pulling for the Dodgers to lose. (4:12) Deer Season is Coming: Outdoors expert Steve Carney shares an incredible story of a large doe returning to his decoy after his first arrow shot hit the window of his ground blind, and gives an update on the upcoming North Dakota and Minnesota rifle openers. (18:24)

Hosts Kevin and Alex navigate a rainy, warm Thursday, providing weather, sports, and political updates.

Kevin Flynn and Alex Taylor take on the pressing issue of the government shutdown and other local happenings. They break down the political blame game, discuss the financial impact on essential services and citizens, and expose what they call "word salad trickery" from politicians.   Featured Segments The Schumer Shutdown: The hosts share clips from Vice President JD Vance and commentator Will Cain, who both argue that the shutdown is a political power play by Senate Democrats. According to Vance, the Democrats' goal is to reinstate hundreds of billions of dollars for healthcare benefits for illegal immigrants, which were cut under President Trump's administration. Cain explains the mechanism: hospitals provide care to illegal immigrants, and the federal government, and by extension the taxpayer, pays the bill. The hosts also discuss the direct impact on Americans, noting that military members, TSA agents, and federal employees are not getting paid, and services like WIC and SNAP are being delayed or shut down. Local Happenings: The show covers a lot of local news, including the area's unseasonably hot weather, with temperatures expected to hit 90 degrees on Saturday before a cold front moves in, bringing a chance of the first hard freeze next week. They also discuss agriculture and outdoors, with Bridget Riedel reporting on dry conditions, recent combine fires, and business acquisitions. Steve Carney talks about the slow start to the waterfowl season due to the heat, and the turkey opener that's set to begin on Saturday. Political Commentary: The hosts and listeners react to the shutdown, with some speculating that President Trump sees this as an opportunity to permanently downsize the federal government and fire non-essential employees. One listener calls out the Affordable Care Act (ACA), saying it was anything but affordable and made healthcare for illegal immigrants more accessible. Fun Facts: The show celebrates a number of holidays, including National Scallops Day, Guardian Angels Day, and National Custodial Workers Day. They also wish happy birthday to singer Sting, who is 74 today, and Charlie Brown, who is celebrating his 75th birthday.   Standout Moments Hot Weather Woes: The hosts are in disbelief over the unseasonably hot weather, with a high of 90 degrees expected on Saturday, followed by a sudden temperature drop to the 60s on Sunday. The Cost of "Free" Healthcare: A listener texts in to point out that federally funded emergency room visits for illegal immigrants ultimately increase…
