This week on the Mark Levin Show, the Democrat Party government shutdown is the best evidence why the government should never, for example, take over our healthcare system. It's not controlled by Democrat politicians (senators) abusing the filibuster rule to blackmail the country and do as much damage to the economy as possible to further government control of the economy and leftwing political agendas. Also, the U.S. air traffic control system and TSA should be privatized. It's unacceptable that our air traffic could come to a halt because air traffic controllers wouldn't show up for work during the shutdown. The Democratic Party is being internally devoured by Marxism and Islamism, ideologies foreign to America's founding principles. These forces, power-hungry and seeking centralized control, mask their hatred for the country as righteousness, liberation, equality, and affordability, while spreading rapidly and replacing the party's base and leadership. In response, a fascistic reaction emerges on the radical right by grifters like podcasters and influencers who gain fame and wealth promoting it. Both Marxists and fascists seek to destroy American institutions—the former to replace them, the latter claiming they fail—leading to dwindling support for the Declaration, Constitution, and founders. The Republican Party resists this fascistic right, albeit insufficiently, whereas the Democratic Party, having unleashed and failed to control these forces, is now becoming the Marxist left. In chapter two of "American Marxism," titled "Breeding Mobs," it explains how mass movements devour individual identity and uniqueness, rendering people indistinguishable while assigning group identities based on race, age, or income to foster class distinctions and divisions. These movements attract disenchanted, disaffected, and maladjusted individuals who blame external factors like the system or others for their conditions, lured by utopian promises and criticisms of society, where improving their lot ties to the cause and disparaging the successful becomes a tactic to instill meaning and self-worth. Ultimately, these movements rely on deceit, propaganda, intimidation, and force, leading to scapegoating, violence, and totalitarianism. Just think of figures like Bernie Sanders, AOC, Nick Fuentes, Steve Bannon, Alex Jones, Tucker Carlson, and their supporters. Later, the U.S. healthcare system is the world's best, but some sort of health savings accounts that put more money in people's pockets, enabling them to choose and pay for their own healthcare premiums would be a great idea. Afterward, Gov Gavin Newsom's former chief of staff was indicted on 23 federal counts including conspiracy to commit bank and wire fraud. Learn more about your ad choices.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, in Chapter 1 of Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto it emphasizes that the conservative commitment to ordered liberty is rooted in the Founders' principles, such as the social contract and civil society, which foster harmony of interests through accumulated human experience and reasoning for the betterment of individuals and society. There are so-called podcasters on the right who reject this. We can't allow the Tucker Carlson's or Megyn Kelly's to hand America to the left. We need to hold firm to our principles, understanding of the American founding, and decades of discussed values, without falling into traps set by these detractors. Also, a federal judge in Alexandria, Virginia suggested she might dismiss charges against James Comey for lying to Congress and Letitia James for bank fraud, citing skepticism over the legitimacy of interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan's appointment by AG Pam Bondi. Bondi has full authority to appoint anyone who meets the U.S. attorney qualifications. This is pathetic, the left has destroyed our judicial system. Later, the Democrats are potentially poised for another government shutdown opportunity in January, targeting airline services, TSA, FAA, and military funding to inflict pain on Americans again. These routine continuing resolutions might become quarterly battles because of the Democrats. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

This week, the guys are gabbing about the government shutdown. Josh has a vacation coming up quickly, but there's a chance there won't be any TSA agents available and FAA workers ready to help facilitate a flight! So, will Josh get to California by air, or will he have to hit the road to make it happen? The guys also recap how it was to hang out at each other's houses for the first and last time of the year, and how Halloween went. There's also some social media discussion and other things to chat about, as well as your usual Fact of the Week, "sticking it to the man," and This Day in Hear-story tidbits!

This week, a court filing showed that the Trump Administration has declared the current funding structure for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to be illegal. The agency was created in the wake of the global financial crisis to protect consumers and collect consumer complaints. Project 2025 architect Russell Vought is currently acting director of the CFPB. He has said repeatedly that he wants to see the CFPB close its doors, and back in February, he ordered employees of the agency to stop working. To talk more about the Trump Administration taking yet another axe to the CFPB and what happens next, we spoke to David Dayen, executive editor of The American Prospect.And in headlines, the Justice Department sues to block new Congressional district boundaries approved by California voters, the State Department makes it harder for people with conditions including cancer and diabetes to obtain visas, and Kristi Noem gives out $10,000 bonus checks to some TSA agents who worked through the shutdown.Show Notes: Check out The American Prospect – https://prospect.org/Call Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Summary In this conversation, Mark Walters shares his personal experiences with TSA, highlighting the importance of firearm safety and the need for travelers to be aware of security protocols. He recounts a specific incident where he found a live round in his luggage and the potential consequences of not addressing the situation responsibly. The discussion emphasizes the significance of personal responsibility when traveling with firearms and navigating security measures. Takeaways I've had stuff stolen out my bags by TSA. A round hit the floor, the tile floor of the hotel. I actually confronted TSA because I was in line. I'm going to get arrested. They did warn me, you could be arrested for this. You need to be really careful. They saw that there was one empty round in that box. They allowed me through after I explained the situation. They took me in a room behind a wall. Guys, they're watching. Keywords TSA, firearm safety, security protocols, travel experiences, personal responsibility

The feds finally crawled back to work after a 43 day shutdown, and somehow the world is still wild. We got Kristi Noem tossing TSA workers ten thousand dollar “my bad” bonuses, Epstein emails flying around with Trump's name all in the mix, Kim catching heat because North got a finger piercing at twelve, and a man ordering a forty-dollar drill set but getting a photo like Amazon is trolling for sport.

The news of the day and how it affects you as a Christian. It's the Friday News Round-Up and Comment broadcast. Here's a sample of what host Jim Schneider presented for listeners: --The longest government shutdown in our history ended with the stroke of a pen by President Trump in the Oval Office on Wednesday evening. He signed a spending package into law that will fund the government through the end of January. --Members of Congress collected more than $20,000 apiece during the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, as millions of Americans went without pay and essential services. The White House estimates that the shutdown inflicted roughly 15 billion dollars in weekly economic damage with 60,000 private sector jobs lost. --Leftists, including some elected officials, reacted with rage Monday after 8 Senate Democrats caved to Senate Republicans by agreeing to vote to end the lengthy government shutdown. Despite voting against the deal, Chuck Schumer is emerging as the top target for not containing the defections. --Paychecks to federal workers reportedly will be going out tomorrow. --Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said that the full SNAP benefits would be restored by Monday, November 17th. --Rollins said that SNAP benefits are ripe with fraud and abuse. --Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem handed out $10,000 bonus checks November 13th to thousands of frontline TSA officers who stayed on the job during the government shutdown. --Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania surprised CNN's Dana Bash as he explained how much crueler the political left has treated him compared to those on the right.
Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem has awarded checks to two-dozen TSA agents at Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport. Noem said the payments recognized employees who went “above and beyond” while working without pay during the shutdown, and that the department will continue awarding bonuses to TSA employees who showed exemplary performance.The White House announced new trade deals on Thursday with Argentina, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Ecuador. According to an official, the deals will lift reciprocal tariffs on some products the United States relies on, such as coffee, cocoa, and bananas. President Donald Trump is planning to ramp up his domestic travel ahead of the 2026 midterms, when he intends to talk with voters about the cost of living.Millions of Americans are facing higher health insurance costs as COVID-era tax subsidies for Obamacare are set to expire. Democrats want a clean extension of the subsidies. Some Republicans support this, but many want major reforms—or to replace Obamacare altogether. Senators are expected to vote on an Obamacare extension in December, with bipartisan negotiations already underway. Trump is proposing “Trumpcare,” which would create health accounts for people to pay for medical issues.
TRENDING - Kristi Noem awards $10,000 bonuses to TSA workers as President Trump praises “patriotic” federal employees. We break down the hospitalization of Sen. John Fetterman after a fall in Pittsburgh, and the disturbing new report detailing allegations that an underage homeless girl had sex with Rep. Matt Gaetz in exchange for money to buy braces. We also discuss the passenger outburst that grounded an American Airlines flight carrying four lawmakers, the DNC union outrage over a new 5-day in-office order, and Rep. Jasmine Crockett gets fact-checked on CNN during a discussion about the Epstein documents. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

//The Wire//2300Z November 12, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: FORD CARRIER STRIKE GROUP ARRIVES IN CARIBBEAN. APPLE ROLLS OUT DIGITAL ID. JOBS REPORT FOR OCTOBER NOT PUBLISHED DUE TO GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Caribbean: Overnight the USS GERALD FORD (CVN-78) arrived in the SOUTHCOM area of responsibility, and is expected to be in position to carry out operations in theatre within a couple of days.Analyst Comment: Venezuela continues wartime preparations, same as before, with various internal militia and homeland defensive efforts being publicized over the past few weeks. Most of these efforts appear to mostly be just for show, but preparations continue all around nonetheless.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. - This afternoon the White House stated that a handful of financial reports for the month of October might not be released due to the government shutdown. Press Secretary Leavitt stated that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) report and various other jobs reports might not ever be released for last month, due to federal employees not being on the job to gather the data at the time in which it was most valuable (the data needed to make the jobs reports accurate must be gathered in real time throughout the month, and not in retrospect).Analyst Comment: At a time where the White House is facing increased scrutiny, this isn't a great omen since this is extremely important financial data to consider on the general state of the economy. Economic indicators are also a data point to consider even in the world of national defense, to set conditions and expectations on the homefront before a military campaign, for instance. Now, right at the crux of major economic concerns, the data simply isn't available because federal workers stopped doing their jobs during the shutdown. The data probably does exist, but by the time it's compiled and released it will be stale, and we'll be on to the next crisis.USA: This morning Apple announced the release of a Digital ID product, intended to digitize identification documents such as American passport data. The plan involves partnering with the Transportation Security Administration to integrate Digital ID efforts into air travel around the United States.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Apple's efforts are not to create a universal new identification scheme, but rather to digitize identity documents that already exist. TSA in particular has already had their own varying levels of subscription-based identity-check procedures for a while now, so in the grand scheme of things this has been coming for a long time. Of course, any Digital ID effort requires universal acceptance to work. It is not the ability to save an ID on one's phone that is new...it's the widespread adoption in such a short period of time that is the more concerning detail. This, coupled with the note that this is set up within the Apple Wallet ecosystem, has caused even more eyebrow-raising since it's not a huge jump to speculate that this ID scheme will be linked to finances at some point.In this case, Apple announced that this plan is already streamlined to work with TSA for air travel at over 250 airports around the nation. This plan was announced about two weeks ago, so in just that time, we've gone from announcement to implementation to full integration with TSA in ways that haven't really been done before. Individual states are also partnering with Apple to integrate their Driver's Licenses into the app, and 12x states/territories have done so already. As such data security concerns have abounded...while Americans have been watching the developments of a Digital ID system being implemented in the United Kingdom, a very similar system was being worked on here at home. But because it's a private company digitizing already-existing documents, less attention has been placed o
One of the favorite parts of each year's Magic At The Beach convention in Myrtle Beach, SC, is when the stars take to the stage and share some of their embarrassing, funny and tragic stories from their days on the road. If you have performed long enough and in enough different venues around the world, you will eventually have things go wrong during your travel, your show, during your preparation or tear down, or somewhere along the road. This week we feature some of those people who were highlighted as talent for the 2025 convention and agreed to share some of their stories and even a few about other performers they know/knew. View fullsize Join Charles Bach as he introduces a few of the performers this week that include Dana Daniels, Cody Fisher, Bizarro, Nick Lewin, Howard Blackwell, Joan DuKore, and Jeki Yoo as they share some of their recollections with TSA, working aboard cruise ships, performing at the Magic Castle, and much more.

The longest government shutdown in history has had a profound impact on daily living — no paychecks for government workers; disruption of SNAP benefits, which leaves millions of Americans food insecure; a steep rise in the cost of healthcare insurance; and thousands unable to travel because of flight delays and cancellations due to a lack of air traffic controllers and TSA agents charged with keeping the skies safe. Another View pundits Daun Hester, Gaylene Kanoyton, Allison Moore, and Dr. Eric Claville examine these issues, plus the impact of the "blue wave" in Virginia's latest election.

Right off the bat, Wells goes into a full-blown rant about the current state of our world… Spoiler: it's in shambles. The government can't keep their sh*t together, and churches won't help a fake starving baby get formula. What TF is happening here? The shutdown leaves Wells with some BIG questions: Why are TSA agents government employees? And, what will happen if flights stop before Thanksgiving? “God forbid it's Pop-Pop's last Thanksgiving.” Meanwhile, Brandi's confirmed that the holiday shoppers are out in full force, and finding a formal outfit for an insanely tall man (AKA Matt) is basically impossible. To add to their long list of current complaints, DWTS really dropped the ball with their celebrity judge pick (justice for Alix Earle), and J-Lo wasted Wells' time with her sci-fi flop, Atlas. On the bright side, Wells introduces us to baseball's most chaotic legend, Rube Waddell, Miley snagged a Grammy nomination, and Dirty Grandpa turns British for Wells' new show Sweet Empire—a show you don't want to miss. And even when the world's falling apart, Wells still pulls through for y'all with some new soundboard jingles. Only the best for our YFTers.Thanks to our awesome sponsors for supporting this episode!

Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work? Here's what actually does. FREE training here: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup_____When Devene Godau adopted a retired racing greyhound, she thought she was just rescuing a dog. Instead, she found her purpose. What started as an effort to help an anxious greyhound with separation anxiety became a lesson in communication, connection, and compassion. Those lessons didn't just transform her career; they changed how she saw herself.A certified professional dog trainer with ADHD, Devene spent more than 25 years working with everyone from family pets to professional scent detection dogs for the TSA. She learned that dogs, much like humans, thrive when they feel safe, understood, and motivated — not shamed into obedience. Her work with scent detection dogs taught her that behavior isn't about control, it's about clarity. The same applies to people. Now through her platform The Distracted Dog Lover, Devene helps neurodivergent dog owners build stronger bonds with their pets using humor, empathy, and science-based, real-world strategies that actually work.In this conversation, Devene and Tracy talk about why traditional training methods often fail for ADHD owners, what clicker training can teach us about communication, and how dogs mirror our emotions in ways that reveal what we need to work on ourselves. Devene also shares how gamifying training makes it easier to stay consistent, why sniffing literally boosts serotonin and calms a dog's nervous system, and how the best kind of learning happens when you stop aiming for perfection and start enjoying the process.Resources:Website: https://distracteddoglover.com Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/devene-godau-cpdt-ka-b696a71a0 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/disney_devene Gerty: https://thegerty.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoqWlLvwRhiG3tP96j9mICCIcZSa98gj5w1YRsy4jUJxWbZZtk4W Send a Message: Your Name | Email | Message If this podcast helps you understand your ADHD brain, Shift helps you train it.

It's a patented, science-backed coaching program that helps you stop fighting your brain and start building a life that fits.
On Monday's Mark Levin Show, the Democrat Party government shutdown is the best evidence why the government should never, for example, take over our healthcare system. It's not controlled by Democrat politicians (senators) abusing the filibuster rule to blackmail the country and do as much damage to the economy as possible to further government control of the economy and leftwing political agendas. Also, the U.S. air traffic control system and TSA should be privatized. It's unacceptable that our air traffic could come to a halt because air traffic controllers wouldn't show up for work during the shutdown. Later, the media is ignorant for mischaracterizing the pardoning of 77 people involved in challenging the 2020 election results as an attempt to overturn them. Challenging elections is a longstanding legal right, dating back to John Adams' era, and includes demanding recounts, lobbying state officials like the Secretary of State, and submitting alternative slates of electors to the Archivist of the United States to preserve potential wins. These actions are neither obstructive nor criminal. Afterward, Rep Chip Roy, who's running for Attorney General of Texas, calls in and explains that Texas is under attack by a network of radical Marxists and Islamists seeking to seize it from America. The nation is rooted in Judeo-Christian principles, the Constitution, and Western civilization, which directly conflict with Sharia law. He also explains that Democrats are exposing their scheme by admitting Biden's temporary COVID subsidies are essential for Obamacare to function, as even the Washington Post acknowledges it was never affordable. Finally, Tucker Carlson platformed a guest who downplayed Christian persecution in Nigeria and had previously represented an accused Nigerian figure involved in targeting Christians.

As the government shutdown rolls on, the Federal Aviation Administration has instructed airports across the country to cut hundreds of flights to help with staffing shortages. Denver International Airport, however, is trying something unique to support the air traffic controllers and TSA agents working without pay. Host Bree Davies and producer Olivia Jewell Love look into this novel approach, plus discuss the proposed infrastructure improvements along Alameda that some neighbors in West Wash Park put the brakes on, and respond to a listener's thoughts on our ownership of green chile. Bree talked about crossing guard Amy Kenreich and her celebrity crossing guard day.

On this edition of Political Breakfast, the federal government shutdown may be nearing an end, but it hasn't happened just yet. A key vote took place in Washington but Georgia's two Democratic U.S. Senators were NOT on board with the majority. Why not? Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson and Republican strategist Brian Robinson weigh-in with host Lisa Rayam on what Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock may have been thinking. How could they be against reopening the government in the midst of massive flight cancellations across the country, and TSA workers reporting malaise because they are not getting paid?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Andy dives into the massive cold snap sweeping across the U.S. as millions brace for a winter blast. Then, he unpacks why the TSA might suddenly ask you to turn your phone on at airport security — and breaks down the viral story of a woman throwing hot coffee at a McDonald’s worker. Plus, Andy gets to know board wizard Oliver Boon a little better and ends the hour opening the phones to talk about Target’s controversial new “10-4” policy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The government shutdown continues, as does the misery for U.S. travelers. At least another 1,600 flights are canceled today, with 2,300 more delays, that's according to Flightaware.com. While some of these issues are weather-related, passengers across the country continue to be inconvenienced as the government shutdown persists. Although some Senate Democrats crossed the aisle late last night to support a tentative plan to fund the government, it remains unclear when TSA agents and air traffic controllers will be paid and when travel will return to normal. The timing couldn't be more critical, as we are almost two weeks away from Thanksgiving and the holiday travel season. Mike Body, Boyd Group International President and Aviation Expert, joins FOX Business' Lydia Hu to discuss the impact the shutdown has already had and the ripple effect travel uncertainty has on the broader economy.

Fighting for you from the Foxhole of Freedom— Number One— President Trump has put the idea of $2,000 to checks to every taxpayer in America—from the money the government has collected through tariffs—what do you think? Number Two— New York Governor Kathy Hochul after applauding Zohran Mamdani—is saying most of his biggest ideas are too expensive and will not be funded—like free buses in the Big Apple— Number Three— 40 days and 40 nights—the longest government shutdown in history—and regardless of what you may think—one party—the democrats voted over and over again to keep the government shutdown—they voted over and again to not fund paychecks for the TSA, air traffic controllers and our military—the minority party holding the country hostage—making unreasonable demands—
Send us a textSirens on the news, silence in the paycheck—when the government stalls, everything else somehow speeds up. We kick off with the flight mess and the way a shutdown punches through daily life: TSA still scanning, bills still due, SNAP in the headlines, and a lot of folks just trying to make the math work. It's real talk with jokes on top, because humor's often the only way to hold the weight.From there, we chase the small wins that keep us afloat. Food apps and rewards are the new coupon drawer; promo codes promise hope and deliver heartbreak; freebies feel like tiny rebellions in a tight month. Then we head to the grill. Steak debates turn into family stories, from A1 to garlic salt to resting your meat so the flavor opens up. It's culture in a cast-iron pan, proof that taste is memory and home is a recipe you tweak over time.The heart of the conversation lands on mental health after a tragic sports headline. Success doesn't cancel sorrow, and “check on your strong friends” becomes a practice, not a slogan. We talk about how men's hangouts—running hills, hoop runs, open laughs—work like pressure valves you can't get from a screen. The mood lightens with legendary cramp tales, bathroom fails, and a peek at the automation wave: Waymo robotaxis, charging hubs, and what happens to jobs when the future parks itself on your block. We wrap with movie picks and a nod to women's boxing history, plus a few travel dreams priced in over-water bungalows.If you're juggling headlines and heartlines, you'll feel at home here.

Ep. 396 In Episode 396, Ken and Dave discuss the ongoing shutdown, UPS's DC-11 crash, the big Blue wins, cutting down flights, one trillion dollars, cutting the fat, SCOTUS taking on tariffs, and Nancy hanging it up. Current Events & Politics The Government Shutdown: Entering week six, the longest ever. Discussing the impact on federal workers like TSA agents and soldiers (citing the closure of a chow hall at Fort Leavenworth). There is a proposal being offered to reopen the government and extend ACA premium tax credits for one year. Temporary Government Measures: Examination of how government "emergency" actions, such as the creation of the TSA or temporary bonuses, inevitably become permanent, noting that the Income Tax was also supposed to be temporary. New York City Mayor: Discussion of Mayor-elect Montani Montani, who won the election but immediately sought fundraising for his transition team. Concerns were raised about his lack of professional experience, his communist ideology, and the potential consequences of his policies, such as free buses leading to safety issues. Nancy Pelosi Retires: Longtime Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi is retiring after 40 years. Reflecting on her historical role as the first female Speaker of the House and the perceived corruption associated with long tenure in Washington D.C. Dick Cheney's Passing: Noting the death of former Vice President Dick Cheney, highlighting his historical significance in expanding the power and influence of the Vice Presidency. Economics & Consumer Issues Food Prices & Thanksgiving: Highlighting outrageous food prices, particularly meat (rib eyes over $20/lb), but noting conflicting stats on the average cost of Thanksgiving dinner this year. Blaming ethanol subsidies for driving up feed costs and food prices. SCOTUS and Tariffs: The Supreme Court held a hearing on the legality of tariffs imposed by former President Trump, who cited the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Most judges viewed tariffs as taxes, suggesting the ruling will likely strike them down 9-0, which is predicted to boost the economy and consumer confidence. American Finances: Observation that many Americans lack cash reserves and are increasingly financing basic necessities, even with predatory 0% financing deals that inflate the final cost. Georgia Politics & Local News Local Elections: Several municipal races were extremely close, including the Jefferson mayoral race, which was decided by one vote, emphasizing the importance of voting in off-cycle elections. PSC Losses: Georgia Republicans lost two seats on the Public Service Commission (PSC) to Democrats Alicia Johnson and Peter Huard, leading to concerns among Republicans about the state "going blue." SPLOST Failure: A local SPLOST (Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax) failed in one county, which is described as highly unusual. Meth Bust: Local news item about a meth bust at a well-known produce stand. Science & Health Gray Hair and Cancer: Reporting on studies involving mice suggesting that gray hair signals a successful cancer defense mechanism, where the body eliminates potentially dangerous DNA-damaged cells. Weight Loss Drugs: Discussion of Donald Trump's plan to reduce the cost of GLP-1 weight loss drugs via his Trump RX website, raising concerns about price controls potentially stifling future pharmaceutical research and development. Transportation & Aviation FAA Air Traffic Cuts: Due to the continuing shutdown, the FAA is planning to gradually cut air traffic by up to 25%, likely leading to consolidated and fewer flights on major routes. UPS DC11 Crash: A UPS DC11 cargo plane went down in Louisville following a catastrophic failure where the left engine caught fire and fell off, leading to at least 13 fatalities. The discussion focused on the airframe's age not being the issue, but potential maintenance concerns. Misc. The First Trillionaire: Discussing Elon Musk's new compensation package at Tesla, which could potentially make him the world's first individual trillionaire if the company hits aggressive financial milestones (e.g., $8 trillion valuation). Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG): Discussing her appearance on "The View" where she performed well, drawing applause primarily when she criticized her own party and Republican figures like Donald Trump and Mike Johnson.

A budget fight in Washington shouldn't decide whether families in New Mexico can buy groceries—but that's exactly where we are. We open with the real-world fallout of the federal shutdown: SNAP delays for roughly 460,000 New Mexicans, TSA slowdowns, and unpaid military members, all tied up in a standoff over temporary ACA subsidies that were created during COVID. We break down how those subsidies work, who actually receives them, why insurers benefit, and what reform could look like if Congress focused on affordability instead of brinkmanship.From there, we wrestle with the Senate's biggest pressure valve: the filibuster. Trump wants it gone to power through a reopening and a faster agenda. Many Republicans balk, warning that killing the 60-vote threshold would turn the Senate into a smaller House and supercharge policy whiplash. We walk through the unintended consequences of past rule changes, the real risk of court packing, and one bold idea to stabilize the system: protect the filibuster with a constitutional amendment so the rules can't swing with every majority.We also talk politics on the ground: why affordability—not vibes—will decide 2026. Voters care about grocery bills, rent, energy, and healthcare, and they won't reward leaders who minimize that pain. We push for a clear cost-of-living plan that's measurable and fast. Then we zoom into Albuquerque, where rising crime has become the central question of the mayor's race. We lay out the data, challenge “not my job” answers on public safety, and argue for accountability over party loyalty.If you're tired of spin and want practical fixes—on budgets, healthcare costs, and public safety—this conversation lays out the stakes and the options. Listen, share with a friend who's feeling the pinch, and tell us where you stand: keep the filibuster or go simple majority? And what's the first, most concrete step to lower costs where you live?

1. Government Shutdown and FAA Flight Cancellations Cruz and Ferguson argue that Democrats are intentionally prolonging the shutdown for political gain, particularly to hurt Donald Trump. Essential federal workers like TSA agents and air traffic controllers are working without pay, leading to staffing shortages and safety concerns. The FAA has announced a mandatory 10% reduction in air traffic at the 40 largest U.S. airports due to understaffing. This could result in up to 5,000 flight cancellations per day, affecting potentially 500,000 passengers daily. Cruz says Democrats blocked a bill to pay essential workers during the shutdown, including air traffic controllers. 2. Analysis of Election Results The podcast dives into the election of Zohran Mamdani, a self-described socialist/communist, in New York City. Cruz and Ferguson portray Mamdani as emblematic of the radical left’s growing influence in the Democratic Party. They analyze exit poll data and voter demographics, highlighting: Young women (18–29) were the most supportive group, with 81% voting for Mamdani. Educational attainment correlated with support: those with bachelor’s or advanced degrees leaned heavily toward Mamdani. Income brackets between $30,000 and $300,000 favored Mamdani, while the very poor ($300k) leaned toward Cuomo. Religious affiliation showed that Protestants, Catholics, and Jews leaned toward Cuomo, while Muslims and non-religious voters favored Mamdani. LGBTQ+ voters supported Mamdani by 81%, despite the podcast hosts expressing disbelief due to Mamdani’s alleged Islamist sympathies. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
