Well two three starting your morning off right.

Speaker 4 (00:31):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael Bill Charman.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
Seven minutes after the hour, Good morning, and welcome to October.
It is Wednesday, October the first, twenty twenty five on
the air, streaming live on your iHeartRadio app. This is
your morning show. I'm Michael, Honored to serve you, Jeffrey
and reader, honored to be serving me, and we are
honored to welcome you. O r D and w y
r D Greenville, Spartanburg, South Carolina, two great radio stations

(01:07):
joining your morning show family, the Voice of the Carolinas Welcome.
Federal government is shut down. Oh why now what? We
were Red and I were just crunching some numbers during
the break, and you know, talking about axios saying seven
hundred and fifty thousand people will be federal employees will
be furloughed. And you might be thinking, Wow, that's drastic.

(01:29):
Do you know that seven hundred and fifty thousand federal
employees only represents twenty five percent of the federal workforce,
you know, Davidson Audio A senior contributors joining us. I've
been saying this all week long. What you should be
scared of? I mean, when they talk about government shutdown,
they act like it's cancer or I don't know what
words stop you dead in your tracks, death, cancer, attack, invasion.

(01:53):
They act like it's the end of the world. You
know what you ought to be afraid of when the
government is open and marching along towards forty trillion dollars
of debt. But the government has shut down. Hurricane and
Melda's off the coast to the southeast Tigers. My brother
was nervous as a bunny yesterday, but they took game
one with their ace on the mom, Cubs took game one,

(02:16):
Dodgers took game one over the reds What about the Yankees?
Of course they fell to the Red Sox. We have
no bullpen. Or as my father approaching ninety said, oh
they suck.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
That's what it's wort's worth.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
And I thought to myself when he said that, you know,
my gosh, we just don't change, even at ninety, it
sounded like a kid on the playground. And I'm still
wearing my Yankees jersey and feeling awful. But congratulations to
the Tigers, Cubs, Red Sox, and Dodgers. All right, I
asked David to do a little research for us. You

(02:49):
all know who George Soros is, and it's a leftist machine,
a funding machine, and we'll talk about everything it's funded,
including unrest on the streets. And while you had Hegsath
the new minister or laying out the new standard for
our military, including at home and enemies at home. Well,

(03:13):
the torch is being passed to George Soros's son. David's
got all the four to one to one on Sorrow's
two point zero. This is all the money this guy's
even ready to fight more boldly. David, good morning, would
you learn? Good morning, Michael.

Speaker 3 (03:29):
Well, we've we've been at this now for a long time,
and you and I've been talking about this, I would
submit rather dangerously.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
By radio because they hate us for a.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
Long long time. Well, we've been talking about things that
are so obvious for anyone that's doing this study that
the biggest question I have is why would the existing
administration be so far behind the curve? Or are they
just faking us out? Are they just pretending that they're
not behind the curve? So we gotta go back to

(04:00):
George Soros. He's got an extraordinary history of involvement. He
is one of the richest people in the world. He's
had some of the biggest transactions in the world. He
shorted the British currency and made a billion dollars in
a day that particular day. By the way, Scott Bassett
was in his employment he worked for George Soros, our

(04:20):
director or the Secretary of the Treasury right now in
the Trump administration. But George Soros is ninety some ad
years old. He's been around a long time now. There's
kind of a mythology where the Shorthand in the media
says that George Soros is a Holocaust survivor. That's quite
a stretch if you really study his life and look

(04:43):
at how his mother converted to Christianity, and then they
used her conversion and her paperwork, so to speak, to
steer clear of the Nazi regime. Yes, he was a
Jew in Hungary at the time. They were hungry at
the time, and they were at risk, but they managed
to skirt the question and remove themselves from the issue,

(05:06):
so to say they were a survivor. George Soros wasn't
at Auschwitz, Okay, it was a very different world. And
his son, Alexander, the four children, I believe Alexander is
the youngest. His son, Alexander has lived a I don't
even know how to describe it, Michael. If you just
take a few minutes and you read his life, the
schools that he went to, where he went to college,

(05:30):
the lifestyle that he's had, being raised up as the
son of one of the richest people in the world,
it's a very weird story. It's like something out of
a novel. It's fiction. It's hard to believe there's anything
real about the weirdness. Of all of this, he got
a graduate degree from Berkeley, and interestingly enough, wrote his

(05:51):
thesis on Nietzsche. Okay, now this is not going anywhere good.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
Married to well Mergazine, married.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
To one of the senior Clinton operatives, and living, of
course in New York City. This is not good. And
if you study the mindset of the father, and then
you study the studies of the son, what you come
up with is these are people who are genuinely at

(06:22):
war in their own minds and in their own hearts
with the very first principles of Western culture. They have
always spent their lives, and particularly Alexander in his studies, challenging,
as Nietzsche did, the philosopher from the eighteen hundreds, who is,
by the way, sort of the noted person in the

(06:45):
philosophical progression of Pagan thought, if you will, for saying
out loud and getting quoting that the whole God is
dead methodology that wasn't John Lennon and the Beatles, that
was nietzschee many hundreds of years before that. This is
the world in which they come from. It is a
very brazen, cold, dark intellectual arena from I.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
Get visions of the devil's advocate when I think of
George Soros and then his son and what feels like
an arranged political marriage with umah Abdein, and what kind
of a child they might produce. I mean the imagery.
I know that sounds fantastic and dramatic, but their their goal,

(07:32):
and that's what leads to my main question to you,
would they love to trick us into being under the
radar and creating a civil war? Or what is their
set goal? Because in the sun I see something far
more warrior like, far more bold, far more He's ready
to take this and run well, and he's.

Speaker 3 (07:53):
Young, He's got plenty of energy. Okay, Dad in his
nineties is kind of wore out, but not out of resources.
If you if you understand the study of Nietzsche, Nietzsche
was philosophically challenging the premises of every single thought that
makes up the reality of the Western world. There is
a God, we are not him. There is there, there

(08:13):
is an order in nature. There's all of the big
words in the realm of philosophy. We can throw them
all out here. We're talking about epistemology and metaphysical realities
and all these questions Nietzsche was challenging all this. Now,
Nietzsche ended up half blind and losing his mind, dying
very young in an institution. I mean, Nietzsche basically drove

(08:34):
himself bad. Yeah, and and so, but this is this
is what happens.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
But if you can remove God, you can remove the
sanctity of life and the sacredness of life, and you
can remove family as a foundation, you've ruined this country.

Speaker 3 (08:48):
Yeah, these guys aren't playing in the stream of the
godless equation. They're swimming in the deep bed right and
and and there, and so this is we have to
understand the mindset that these people, what educational processes they've
been brought up and doing this as almost a game
because they have so much money that if they literally

(09:10):
burned a million dollars a day in their backyard, they
wouldn't have any less. This is how much money they're
surrounded with. Now A key point, key point. They have
hollowed out the Democrat Party by design over the last
twenty to thirty years. George Soros and his operatives across
many many NGOs, many foundations, a network of other billionaires

(09:32):
that he works with. They have literally hollowed out the
Democrat Party, the old school Democrat Party of the sixties,
does not exist any longer. What exists is what Soros, Arabella, Advisors, Gates, Zuckerberg, others,
what the big Sadler Bloomberg, what the billionaire's fund is,
what the Democrat Party is. That's the reality. Everyone simply

(09:55):
finds a spot in the lane and gets used as
a puppet by the money masters.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
I've often said one of the things I look at.
First of all, I view the Middle East as the
epicenter of the world. I view Israel is the epicenter
of the epicenter. I view the Temple mount as the
epicenter of the epicenter of the epicenter. But I keep
an eye on Islam. And if you ever see all
the different Sunni and Shia terrorist organizations start uniting, that

(10:25):
would be very problematic. That's that uniting of the world
with the support of China and Russia, Gog and Magog
and all of that. What I see is jor in
the energy and charisma and also the marriage. I keep
bringing that up because I don't know quite how to
say it, but I think there's a few of you
that follow where I'm headed. I see this son able

(10:48):
to unite all five of those forces that you're talking about,
bring because right now they are working for the same thing.
But I mean real aggressive, get Gay, get Zuckerberg, get Arabellam,
get him all on the same page with a new
leader moving in one direction, aggressively, and really make your

(11:09):
play for defeat from within. So I'll phrase it the
form of a question, how much more is this in
different equation?

Speaker 3 (11:20):
Would the son in charge over the father? I think
it'll be much more aggressive. Just what else does he
have to do? I mean, and he's married to Uma Aberdeen.
I mean, what do you think they're sitting around talking
about right now? I mean, I guarantee it's not the
Yankees score. I mean there, this is this whole concept,
this philosophical concept of the godless equation, multiplied by billions

(11:43):
and billions of dollars. One of the starkest things I've
seen on television this year was a brief news clip
of Ted Cruz instructing what I think it was. I
don't know whether it's cash, but teller who it was,
who was was before the Senate, and he was trying
to explain to to them the threat represented by this
network of billionaires that basically is operating without any restraint

(12:08):
or accountability across the American political spectrum. And Ted Cruz
simply said to them, follow the money, the money, Follow
the money. I thought to myself, are you kidding me?
Are we? Are we that unenlightened in our government that
Ted Cruz has to tell these people follow the money.
You and I, Michael have been on the radio for
twenty years selling people follow the money.

Speaker 1 (12:29):
Yeah, and in this case, you know, you could follow
the money to George Sorows. But there's something different with
the sun. And there's this whole issue of trying to
create and instigate a civil war. And I'm just wondering
if those tactics will be far more heightened and far

(12:50):
more united, because I think that's part of what was
happening yesterday a quantico. I think this administration knows that's coming.

Speaker 3 (12:58):
Well. Now the challenge is that it will not be
a federal response that can save us. And in fact,
if this current administration doesn't wake up and do some
serious research and some homework, and I don't you know, look,
I don't know who the readers are in that group,
but somebody better crack a book at night and make
sure that they're figuring out the history on all of

(13:20):
this stuff, because anarchy is what these folks want. They
want casts, and they want a federal response because by
the time all that's gin Dept. Trump will be out
of office. Their goal will be to win office and
then they'll use all those violations of constitutional rights for
their own events. Remember these are the people who brought
you COVID. What would we have to be so careful

(13:43):
with the concept of using our military in any way,
shape or form on domestic soil. That is incredibly dangerous,
And the way it's being battered around now like it's
the new normal is not smart.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
Nos can be done against Yeah, and I see a
lot of yeah that that that which you're cheering today
you'll be running from tomorrow. But I see a lot
of Well, if their goal is to first and foremost
take over the Democrat Party, then dismantle the electoral College,
then dismantle the Republic. You can talk about how much

(14:20):
God has been removed, or God is under attack, or
Christians are under attack. See Great Britain, because it can
happen here. If it's happening there. The family and our
reproductive failures to keep up with with birth. I mean,
that's that's a crisis nobody's even addressing. I mean the
table set for them, not us.

Speaker 3 (14:42):
Well, what it comes down to, Michael, is if you
take over the federal government as they have through the
Democrat Party and still control it now they're still calling
the shots, you create people who are in either believe
they're entitled or are at risk of losing their existence
because it depends upon the government. You have an army
in the streets at day one. This is their goal.

(15:02):
This is why the idea of the haves paying for
the have nots is not smart.

Speaker 1 (15:11):
Everybody's attention is shifting from gun violence to federal government shutdown,
to a testosterone filled reawakening of warriors and war mentality.
And meanwhile, the torch has been passed and all of

(15:31):
the assets and money in cash from George to the Sun.
And I think that's probably a pretty good place for
you to keep your eye on, even over these other things.

Speaker 5 (15:43):
And no one is but us. This is your morning
show with Michael del Chrono.

Speaker 1 (15:50):
Final minute with us and your contributor David Snati. All Right,
so the handoff from George Soros to the Sun. It's
about to get a lot more aggressive. He could even
unite some of these leftists billionaire forces if you play
by the numbers. We just talked about how seven hundred
and fifty thousand are furloughed right now federal employees because
of the temporary shutdown. That's only twenty five percent of
the federal workforce. So you're talking about millions of people

(16:13):
that work for the government, tens of millions who are
dependent upon the government. And that's what Sorow's family plans
to continue to play on. And anarchy and chaos is
always their method. So what do we make of all.

Speaker 3 (16:27):
This study, the left study, the Soros family. They have
enough money to pull it off if people don't pay attention, and.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
They're playing very patiently for a post to Trump America
that they know is three years away. Good research, the
passing of the Torch of Sorrow's the Dad to the
Sun and Sorrow's two point zero, and how that all
plays into an uncertain future. Thank you, David. We'll talk
again maybe tomorrow. Thank Michael Sure Okay.

Speaker 1 (16:56):
My morning show is your morning show with Michael delji.

Speaker 3 (17:05):
Hi.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
It's me Michael. Your morning show can be heard live
daily on great radio stations like News Radio six fifty
k E NI Anchorage, Alaska, Talk Radio eleven ninety Dallas
Fort Worth, and Freedom one oh four seven in Washington,
d C. We'd love to have you listen live every day.
Make us a part of your morning routine, but better
late than never. Enjoy the podcast.

Speaker 4 (17:25):
Morning shows, my Morning Show.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
And what I learned today is what I didn't know.
I didn't know. It's a boy. It's a boy. It's
a boy. What what are you guys having for breakfast today?
We had then, we had the impersonation earlier. Now that
thirty five minutes after the hour, Good morning, welcome to October.
You all are in a rare mood. It's the Wednesday

(17:50):
drive to work in the Central Time, so you got
about twenty four minutes now to be to work by
eight o'clock. And thanks for listening to us. You know,
I just wanted to kind of have a little one
on one time with you. If your thought was we're
in a government shutdown, we just had a military reawakening.
Come to Jesus Warrior Spirit meeting, and you're talking about

(18:13):
George Soros's son well, George Soros's son and his father,
George and the likes of other radical leftists that are
really controlling the Democrat Party are the reason we're in
a government shutdown. And they're playing for keeps. They're playing

(18:33):
for chaos, they're playing for civil unrest, and ultimately they're
playing for socialism. They want to take from the haves
and give to the have nuts. Now, ultimately they're trying
to dismantle God as the centerpiece of our republic and

(18:55):
the sanctity of life and family. They're playing a lot
of different games. Now, what are they up against? Okay,
Number one, Donald Trump? You see John F. Kennedy and
Donald Trump, in my opinion, are the two presidents that
were never meant to be and happened. One got assassinated,

(19:23):
the other had two assassination attempts, one that only missed
by a centimeter. Not to get into conspiracy theory, but
I believe they are two presidents that were never supposed
to be. So what's your response to that? While you
just take it on the chin. Now, in their case,
they did everything could to destroy him between the first
and the second term. They weaponized COVID, they changed election laws,

(19:47):
they got rid of him after one term, but then
he came back again. So you could almost say John F.
Kennedy and Donald Trump are the two presidents three times
that weren't supposed to happen and did. Now it's just
a three year game untill he's gone, and probably do

(20:09):
all they can to make sure that trump Ism isn't
handed off firmly to somebody, whether it's Marco Rubio or JD.

Speaker 3 (20:15):
Bands.

Speaker 1 (20:17):
You just take your hit and you move on. There
are two things I do this for Red two, who's
struggling with this topic. There's two things they didn't also
plan for Joe Rogan. That you can't control narratives anymore. ABC, NBCCBS,

(20:40):
they're a joke. They're dead. Their news is dead, their
extensional news is dead. Cable has no ratings, CNN, MSNBC.
Fox does better than the other two, almost combined, but
it's still not that much. There's probably more people getting
the news frighteningly from TikTok. So you can't control narratives anymore.

(21:09):
And then that becomes a world of podcast which, like
talk radio, is dominated by center or right voices, and
they're only real podcasting. Left voice. Bill maher, Well, he's
getting curiously more conservative, and I just I can tell

(21:31):
you his his whole demeanor towards God has even changed.
Or he's certainly having a lot of Christians on downstairs
in the basement while he smokes pot. And really curiously,
I think has put his finger on childhood trauma in
the Catholic Church versus there is no God and he

(21:55):
doesn't exist, and anybody that believes in him as foolish.
So they didn't count on Joe Rogan being a center voice,
and they certainly didn't count on Elon Musk and control
of X. These are all tremendous wrenches in their gears,

(22:19):
but they're determined nonetheless. Now I have a unique way
of processing this. I know that I know that I
know that one or both parties are going to be
gone by the end of the decade, and that could
be the greatest thing that happens to America. This two
party system has become completely dysfunctional. See this government shut
down and our Sounds of the day, Go listen to
the podcast. These guys don't get it. And while they're

(22:43):
arguing over who's to blame, it's their job to fund
the government you're both to blame. You both failed, and
now the Democrats are off to NAPA for a retreat.
But what's more scary? I mean, think of the statement
the federal government is shut down for the first time
since twenty nineteen on that I would chime in and say,

(23:04):
and the last time and the time before that the
government shut down, the GDP went up, employment went up,
consumer spending went up. This isn't the boogeyman. The boogeyman
is when they're open and being too big of a government,
doing too many things.

Speaker 3 (23:27):
And keeping us on.

Speaker 1 (23:28):
A trajectory of forty trillion dollars of debt. That's what
you ought to be afraid of. Then the next line
is tens of thousands of non essential federal workers are
on furlough. Now, the way that works out is whoever
gets furloughed, and if it's seven hundred and fifty thousand
non essential government employees, you ought to have two questions.

(23:50):
Why do we have non essential federal government employees? When
we go through tough times, we get lean and mean
right with our businesses, with our homes, why don't they
or as we talked about earlier, why don't we ever
have meaningful discussions about what is the proper size of government,

(24:13):
what is the proper role of government? How about what
is the role and responsibility of the self governed? Is
it a pursuit of happiness or an entitlement of whatever
you enviously want. The most shocking thing we could talk

(24:37):
about today is if seven hundred and fifty thousand non
essential federal employees are furloughed, which really translates to a
vacation when they get back pay when this is resolved.
That's only twenty five percent of the workforce. That's how
many millions of federal employees we have, and only the

(24:59):
non essentials temporarily furloughed, and no members of Congress who
fail to do their job. They're not going to miss
a paycheck either. Meanwhile, we're all thirty seven headed to
forty trillion dollars in debt. And one of the big
reasons is the voices, the funded threats and voices of

(25:25):
people like George Sorows and Alexander These are all related.
I'm just trying to get you out of the narrative
world and into what's really happening. And when you follow
the money, it takes you there and it takes you

(25:47):
right to sorrows Gates just trying to keep your eye
on the ball. At least one listener got it, one
listener enjoyed. I bet the rest of you were wondering
what the heck is he talking about today? The real news.
Speaking of narratives, it's time now for your top five

(26:09):
stories of to day, Numero oho. The government has partially
shut down after Congress failed to approve a new spending bill.
Mark Mayfield fills us in.

Speaker 6 (26:17):
Democrats and Republicans had their own bills that failed to
get passed on the Senate floor on Tuesday. Tens of
thousands of federal workers will be furloughed as a result.
The government last shut down during President Trump's first term
in twenty eighteen and lasted thirty five days.

Speaker 3 (26:31):
I'm Mark Mayfield.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
Two unions are suing the Trump administration over its plans
to lay off federal workers permanently during the shutdown. Tammy
Triho has more.

Speaker 7 (26:39):
The lawsuit, filed by unions representing federal and state employees,
alleges that threats by the administration who fire workers are unlawful.
The government partially shut down at twelve oh one am
Eastern after Congress failed to approve a new spending bill.
When asked how many federal workers could be laid off,
President Trump said Tuesday, we may do a lot. I'm
Tammy Trichio.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
The Commander a Chief and Secretary of War Pete Hegseath
both took the stage before an unprecedented gathering of US
military commanders in Quantico, Virginia yesterday, and as for the
Secretary of War, he brought with him his message.

Speaker 8 (27:12):
The new War Department Golden rule is this, do onto
your unit as you would have.

Speaker 1 (27:20):
Done onto your own child's unit.

Speaker 8 (27:24):
Would you want him serving with fat or unfit or
undertrained troops, or alongside people who can't meet basic standards,
or in a unit where standards were lowered so certain types.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
Of troops could make it in excess. As improvements can
and must be made.

Speaker 8 (27:38):
This administration has done a great deal from day one
to remove the social justice, politically correct, and toxic ideological
garbage that had infected our department. To rip out the
politics no more identity months, DEI offices, dudes in dresses.

Speaker 1 (28:00):
The Trump administration has restored roughly five hundred National Institutes
of Health grants to UCLA after they were suspended earlier
this year.

Speaker 9 (28:07):
The restoration comes following a federal judge's order last week
to restore a half billion dollars in federal grant funding
frozen by the White House. In August, UCLA announced that
the Trump administration had suspended over five hundred and eighty
million dollars in grants over allegations of civil rights violations
related to antisemitism and affirmative action. DOJ attorneys submitted a

(28:29):
court mandated update on the status, saying all but nine
grants have been restored. I'm Jim Roop.

Speaker 1 (28:37):
A Tina Turner statue has been unveiled in Tennessee. Statue
was revealed during the Tina Turner Heritage Days festival in
her hometown of Brownsville. The ten foot statue resides in
the city's Heritage Park. Tina Turner won eight Grammys over
her career. Is a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee.
She passed away in twenty twenty three at the age

(28:59):
of eighty three. Well, it's a national day. It gets
a lot of hype, even though a lot of us
don't really like it.

Speaker 3 (29:07):
What could it be?

Speaker 10 (29:08):
We are celebrating the spice blend of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg,
and clove. As it's Pumpkin Spice Day. Starbucks started its
PS fall specials August twenty six, which led to a
lot of groans from customers as only thirty two percent
of us actually like it. But it's a national day
and you can celebrate with pumpkin spice coffee, beer, pie,

(29:29):
bread pastries. Yeah, maybe that like percentage is going up.
I'm Bree Tennis.

Speaker 1 (29:34):
I gotta tell you something. I never liked pumpkin pie
growing up. I only ate blueberry or my grandmother's apple pie.

Speaker 3 (29:40):
I'm with you.

Speaker 1 (29:42):
All of a sudden late in life, I'm loving pumpkin pie. Serious.
I wonder if Free could get to the bottom of
what that gets.

Speaker 5 (29:51):
It's your Morning show with Michael Del Jorno.

Speaker 11 (29:56):
Michael Andrie. This is Caver from Cream Creek, Arizona. My
first time calling in, and I get up early just
to listen to you. You were rattling off the people
that the Democrat in quotes side didn't count on. You
need to include Charlie Kirk, and now Charlie Kirk was assassinated.

Speaker 1 (30:21):
So since we've thrown out our favorite pie, Big John's
favorite pie, sweet potato pie. There's I am telling you
you all are by the way, that first collar was water.
The first collar was sweet. But we've had at least
one strange call every segment that we're on the sweet

(30:43):
Potato pies. What was Sebastian Maybe the announces announcing his
presence with authority.

Speaker 3 (30:50):
Is question my morning shows, your morning.

Speaker 12 (30:54):
Shower of all the impersonation Sebastian, that was how our
morning star in the first hour, your Morning Show on
the Hudson almost sounded like Hairing Kissinger.

Speaker 1 (31:06):
Yeah, little bit more like, all right, fifty is Rory
here yet? I got him?

Speaker 10 (31:15):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (31:15):
Okay. Federal government is shut down for the first time
since twenty nineteen. We went over some of those numbers.
The previous two times the government temporarily shut down, GDP
went up, employment went up, spending went up. But the
big question is what will the government shut down mean
to you. Our national correspondent Rory O'Neil is here with
is some of the answers in facts. Good morning, Rory, Yeah,

(31:39):
good morning, Michael.

Speaker 13 (31:40):
So exactly how this shutdown affects most Americans really will
depend on how long the shutdown lasts.

Speaker 3 (31:46):
If this is just a couple of days, you probably
won't even notice.

Speaker 13 (31:49):
But if this goes on for thirty five days like
the last one, and suddenly you've got air traffic controllers
and TSA workers walking off the job or saying that
they're claiming sick, that could really start to shake the
apple tree. And remember, it was actually the fact that
those workers were taking all those sick days that's really
what forced Congress's hand to get back to the table

(32:12):
last time in broker a deal.

Speaker 1 (32:15):
It really does matter. Well, there's two ways. I'm going
to be fair and do both sides what Trump does
with this temporary shutdown in terms of making some of
these jobs permanently gone, and then the lawsuits that could
come from that, and how painful the Left wants to
make it as well. I will remind everyone though, and

(32:36):
this is probably one of the more shocking tidbits. Even
as they fail to come to the budget resolution, the
Democrats are going to continue with their retreat plans to NAPA.
So I don't know what that means, but I would
think this whole blame game could blow up in both
of their faces. Personally, Yeah, I think.

Speaker 13 (32:56):
That's been the long term what you realize like you said,
it is risingly. You know, it can generate economic gains,
and then politically speaking, maybe it just energizes both sides equally.

Speaker 3 (33:08):
But you know, they're also arguing apples and oranges.

Speaker 13 (33:10):
But the Republicans saying, look, here's a CR, a continuing
resolution to keep things going for seven weeks. The Democrats though,
really this is an attempt to undo parts of the
Big beautiful Bill. It's not really as related to current
government spending. It's two different things.

Speaker 1 (33:24):
And if you want to undo the big beautiful bill,
win the next big beautiful election. Right is how we
normally handle these things. It is interesting, though, you know,
when when you look at this battle back and forth
and back and forth. Harry Itten was in our Sounds today,
he really broke down that the left has the bigger
challenge here because the Democrat Party is so split. You

(33:48):
have the very loud and controlling far far left and
we haven't gone left enough and fought hard enough. Then
you have the center and the progressives who think that
they're a little out of control and they're keeping us
from winning elections. And so you know, I don't even
know what the answer to who has more at stake here?

Speaker 13 (34:07):
But how much of this, then is about Chuck Schumer's
political fortunes personally?

Speaker 1 (34:14):
Right?

Speaker 13 (34:14):
Is this about him trying to send off AOC on
the left or is this really about healthcare subsidies? And
then how far does he want to take it? Does
he say, all right, our point's been made, let's all
go back to work.

Speaker 1 (34:26):
It is an amazing level of dysfunction and probably the
fact of the day. If there are seven hundred and
fifty thousand temporarily furloughed, that's only twenty five percent of
the federal government works workforce. They may not want to
spending too much time about just how big they've gotten too.
All right, that'll do it for today. One chance to
live this first day of October. Go make a difference

(34:47):
in someone's life and cherish your own. We'll see you
in the morning.

Speaker 5 (34:50):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael nhild Choo.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
