Speaker 1 (00:00):
For the ninth time, the Senate rejected a bill that
would have ended the government shutdown. House Speaker Mike Johnson
said this after the latest failed vote.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Every single time, the Republicans have voted to pay the troops,
and by the way, all other federal employees, federal workers,
and the Democrats have voted over and over to stop it.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Of course, House Minority Leader Hakim Jeffries had a bit
of a different take on it.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
It's time to reopen the government. It's time to enact
a bipartisan spending agreement that actually makes life better for
everyday Americans. It's time to decisively address the Republican health
care crisis.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
So one of the more interesting developments yesterday, because there
really wasn't a whole lot of movement when it comes
to figuring out a way to end the government shutdown,
it was Hakeem Jeffries accepting a challenge to a debate
from House Speaker Mike Johnson. So, Jeffries had previously challenged
Johnson to a debate over the shutdown and Johnson dismissed it.
But then there reports that Johnson was willing to go
(01:02):
on c SPAN's new program Ceasefire with Jeffries. So during
an appearance on Fox News, the speaker was asked about it.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
You have agreed to a debate with Jeffries on c
SPAN at an unknown day and time.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Is that true?
Speaker 2 (01:17):
The out debate hakeme Jeffries anywhere anytime, as soon as
we get the government open.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Mm after the government shut down, and I'm sure eats
the whole purpose. I know, I'm sure Sea Span wasn't
happy with that answer. That would have been the most
exciting thing to happen on that network since Ted Cruz
read bedtime stories on the Senate floor back in twenty thirteen.
And now, because Johnson won't agree to a debate, we
missed the chance to see Jeffries busting out tactics like this, huff.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Republicans shut the government down, then they ran out of town,
and for the last three weeks there's nowhere to be found.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
And you, sir, are a clown.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
Yeah, listen to rhyme.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Seriously, U Republican shut the government down, then they ran
out of town, and for the last three weeks there's
nowhere to be found.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
I guess he wasn't singing, So that's a good thing.
If I'm Johnson, and I hear that, I'm like, you know,
maybe we should have that debate. I know. And if
we're waiting until after the shutdown to have this debate,
it might be a while. Congresswoman Anna Pauline a Luna,
she said yesterday the government might not reopen until after Thanksgiving,
which I don't see happening. I don't think there's any
way they can keep it closed that long, especially you know,
(02:31):
leading up to Thanksgiving that's the busiest travel week of
the year. There's gonna be chaos at the airports. You're
gonna have air traffic controllers calling on sick to yes, agent,
it's gonna be a mess. Not to mention, if you
keep it shut down that long, you're not gonna be
able to pay the troops for that long. You're gonna
have what service members in lines at food banks, you know,
(02:51):
trying to get a turf, I mean crazy. There's no
way time now for today's top Stories, sprought to you
by my friends over at the Hulling Group Retirement Wealth Advisors.

help you make the most of it. Find them online

Speaker 4 (03:08):
One of Saint Petersburg's most popular politicians and someone with
statewide recognition, is once again considering a run for office.
Charlie Christ is mulling a potential run for Saint Petersburg mayor.
The former Florida governor and congressman confirmed speculation to the
Tampa Bay Times. He said he's strongly considering entering the
(03:28):
race for mayor. It's a position currently held by Ken Welch.
It would be a nonpartisan race, so an election would
not feature parties, although Welch and Christ are both Democrats.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Well, and Chris has been everything. He's been a Republican,
an independent, a Democrat, so that's right.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
But he's a Democrat now now now. So that's how
that would work. And it would certainly make for an
interesting race because you'd have an incumbent and you would
have Christ, who is obviously a well known and popular
figure in Saint Peter's I mean, even in the elections
that Chris lost, he still got a majority of Saint
Petersburg because people know him and like him. Now, whether
he would be able to defeat Ken Wellich would be
(04:09):
an interesting race for sure, and it would certainly divide
the party in the city.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
The question is why yes, christ He served in the
Florida Senate from nineteen ninety three to nineteen ninety nine.
He was Education Commissioner from two thousand and one to
two thousand and three, Attorney General from two thousand and
three to two thousand and seven, governor from two thousand
and seven to twenty eleven, ran for governor again and
lost in twenty fourteen. Congress from twenty sixteen to twenty
(04:36):
twenty two, then ran for governor again and lost in
twenty twenty two. Almost thirty years in office, he's served
in like every position possible.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
Well, you forgot about being appointed by President Biden to
the International Civil Aviation Organization as the US and Basket.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Again, and you would think after that you'd want to
hang it up. I mean, what's going to top that.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
I don't understand these politicians, people who they like, they
have plenty, we have money. They could just relax and
retire comfortably and just chill out. They don't want to
do that. They want to keep working in high stress jobs.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
And I just generally have a problem with what I
think are professional politicians. Yeah, where it's just that's all
they do is run for office and serve in office.
And it's like enough is enough already. And you've got
it's not just him who is doing this. You've got
(05:29):
Ed Markey, Senator in Massachusetts, seventy nine years old. He's
running for reelection. Now you've got forty six year old
Congressman Seth Moulton who announced that he's going to challenge
him for that seat, so he has a younger, yeah,
younger primary challenger. And then you've got eighty eight year
old Eleanor Holmes Norton, the oldest member of the House.
She plans to run for reelection to Tony twenty six.
(05:52):
Like what it's going on? Hang it up. I likened
the Charlie Criss situation to and I'm not saying I
wouldn't put him in the same category in terms of
his political career as Bill Belichick and his football career.
But it's like with Bill Belichick, what are you doing? Well? Listen,
hear me out, hear me out. He had a great run, right,
(06:13):
he was the coach of the Patriots, coach of the Browns. Yeah,
he won how many Super Bowls? And then he started
to lose. Tom Brady leaves he's not seeing the success
that he used to see. And then instead of just
calling it a day, he goes and becomes the head
coach at North Carolina. And don't forget the twenty five
(06:35):
year old girlfriend. Yeah, yea.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
The show and embarrass him, Like if you want to
have a hot chick on your arm when you're his agent,
she's twenty five, great, but don't let her start trying
to run your career for you.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Yeah yeah, but we see this, you know, Michael Jordan
playing for the Washington Wizards. You know, going back, Willie
Mays playing for the Mets, Like, I mean, go on
to Yeah, you were the governor of Florida. You're gonna
be the Saint Pete at seventy years old.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
You know the thing about Charlie crist Is and this
goes way back to when he was governor. Everybody looked
at christ as a guy who just can't sit still.
He has to run for something all the time. And
look at all the offices he's run for him. And
he was the incumbent governor in twenty ten. Okay, he
had a shoe in re election and he wanted to
(07:21):
be senator because he needed to run for something else.
So he literally threw away the governor's job so that
he could run for Senate and ended up getting beat
by Marco Rubia.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
So maybe he'll be the next politician to want to
come in here and talk to him.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Yeah, right right, maybe we'll have him in and who knows,
maybe if he loses this race for mayor, he'll run
for city council next. So it's an interesting.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
Don't do it in Tampa.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
I mean, he was considered as John McCain's running mate
back you know, during the presidential election. That's how high
up he had gotten in the Republican Party. And now
you look at him and he's running he wants to
run for Saint Petere Mare.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
So yeah, we'll be following that race, that's for sure.
What is going on this morning.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Crestina the Street and Hernando County will be renamed to
Charlie Kirk Memorial Highway. During a County Commission meeting, Commissioners
voted five to nothing in favor of renaming the street.
The section of California Street between spring Hill Drive and
Powell Road, which is in front of Nature Coast high
will be rat that's right next to where you grew up.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Yeah, it's not far from where I grew up. It's
prime real estate. That's a good spot, that's right, Charlie
Kirk Way.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
So obviously this is a part of a movement around
the country to give Charlie kirk additional recognition. President Trump
awarded Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom on Tuesday, on
what would have been his thirty second birthday.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Well, my home county where I grew up, Hernando County.
They're big un naming roads after people, even if they
have no connection whatsoever to the county, like rush Limbaugh.
Oh you got that one. Yeah, yeah, we got that
one in Hernando County. So I feel like there's got
to be a chance. I mean, I'm from Kent and
I don't even need a prime spot, like you know,
between spring Hill Drive and Powell Road. Just pick one
(08:59):
of the dirt road out in the sticks some alley
so something like that. I'll take it, exactly. I'll take
whatever I can get.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
So Texas couple is facing charges after deputies say they
left a six month old baby alone on a Florida
beach for nearly an hour. According to Walton County Sheriff's deputies,
they went to Miramar Beach on Friday to follow up
on reports of an infant who was unattended under a tent.
A witnesses say the baby had been left alone for
(09:30):
nearly an hour. The parents were walking down the beach
with three other kids. Good Samaritans began caring for the child.
They called the cops and deputies, waited for the cruise,
waited with the cruise from the fire department, and the
parents eventually did show up back at the scene and
they were like, oh, yeah, well we the child was
taken a nap right.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
West, went for a walk. Yeah, last track of time.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
So forty year old Brian Wilkes and thirty seven year
old Sarah Wilkes of Houston arrested in charge with child Nicholas.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
I was gonna say, at least they didn't leave their
kid in a hot car, but honestly, out of the beach,
not much better. Just a baby sitting out there under
a tent. If you have a tent and then like
a little crip thing, I mean, I can't. I mean,
baby's not gonna do much. Can you just leave it
un attended public? No way, Okay, I don't have kids,
so I'm just I'm asking questions here, but obviously they
(10:24):
got in trouble for it, so I figured, child, that's good,
that's the good. Yeah, unharmed. But has those people for
pinning get.
Speaker 5 (10:33):
All those other kids taken away from them too?
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Geez? Yeah, all right, Chris Trankan, I stripped to Florida. Yep,
Chris Trankman with today's stop stories. Chris, thanks so much,
Thank you, Zora and Mom. Donnie appeared on Fox News
yesterday afternoon, and before we run through some of what
he had to say, I will give him credit for
agreeing to the interview. More politicians should agree to interviews
with outlets that are tough on them, you know, interviews
(10:56):
with politicians. They're not supposed to be friendly affairs. No,
not at all where that thought process came into play.
So during the discussion, Mamdani was asked about President Trump's
Israel Hamas peace plan and if the president deserves credit
for ending the war.
Speaker 6 (11:10):
I continue to have concerns because I've seen reports still
just this in the last few days, that five Palestinians
were killed by Israeli military, and that's what gives me
pause about issuing any kind of praise or celebration at
a moment when it is still so in its infancy.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Notice, his first instinct is to focus on Israel's actions,
and we talked about that incident where the IDF thought
that you had people coming too close to where they
were located and that's why they opened fire. The focus
is on that, not the slaughter of hundreds of Palestinians
(11:45):
in the streets of Gaza, that Hamas is responsible for
the executions.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
I know, yeah, it's crazy, the deflection.
Speaker 6 (11:51):
And then he added this, but if it proves to
be something that is lasting, something that is durable, then
I think that that's where you give credit.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Then Mumdani was asked about efforts to disarm Hamas. Listen
to this exchange.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
Do you believe that Hamas should lay down their weapons
and leave the leadership in Gaza.
Speaker 6 (12:07):
I believe that any future here in New York City
is one that we have to make sure that's affordable
for all, and as it pertains to Israel and Palestine,
that we have to ensure that there's peace and that
is the future that we have to fight for.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
But you won't say that Hamas should lay down their
arms and give up leadership in Gaza.
Speaker 6 (12:22):
I don't really have opinions about the future of Hamas
and Israel beyond the question of justice and safety and
the fact that anything has to abide by international law,
and that applies to Hamas, that applies to Israeli military,
applies to anyone you could ask me about. All right,
that shouldn't be that hard. Should Hamas disarm?
Speaker 5 (12:36):
Yes, yeah, I don't understand. And there I mean, there's
obviously a difference between Hamas and the Palestinian people. Hamas
is killing the Palestinian so why wouldn't he say yes.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Terrorist organization. Well, he recently ran in the New York
City Gaza five k, which raised money for the UN
agency with ties to Hamas, and then his wife on
social media more in the death of a pro Hamas
influencer who not only praised the October seventh terrorist attack.
The influencer was apparently killed while accompanying pro Hamas militants
(13:08):
who are attacking anti Hamas uh, you know, fighters in
Gaza City. So you can really get a sense as
to kind of where they come down on the all yeah,
and look, I don't even care about his socialist economic plan.
All of that should be disqualifying enough, and just to
give you a census to you know how many people
(13:29):
are viewing this race. You've got New York City Mayor
Eric Adams. There are reports Team May endorse Andrew Cuomo soon.
I mean, Andrew Cuomo is their last hope in this world.
It's just it's it's unbelievable to see what's happening thereat.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
Yeah, it's crazy, like in the biggest city in the
country with so much money in Alroy, that's the options.

baby's not gonna do much. Can you just leave it
un attended public? No way, Okay, I don't have kids,
so I'm just I'm asking questions here, but obviously they
(10:24):
got in trouble for it, so I figured, child, that's good,
that's the good. Yeah, unharmed. But has those people for
pinning get.
Speaker 5 (10:33):
All those other kids taken away from them too?
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Geez? Yeah, all right, Chris Trankan, I stripped to Florida. Yep,
Chris Trankman with today's stop stories. Chris, thanks so much,
Thank you, Zora and Mom. Donnie appeared on Fox News
yesterday afternoon, and before we run through some of what
he had to say, I will give him credit for
agreeing to the interview. More politicians should agree to interviews
with outlets that are tough on them, you know, interviews
(10:56):
with politicians. They're not supposed to be friendly affairs. No,
not at all where that thought process came into play.
So during the discussion, Mamdani was asked about President Trump's
Israel Hamas peace plan and if the president deserves credit
for ending the war.
Speaker 6 (11:10):
I continue to have concerns because I've seen reports still
just this in the last few days, that five Palestinians
were killed by Israeli military, and that's what gives me
pause about issuing any kind of praise or celebration at
a moment when it is still so in its infancy.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Notice, his first instinct is to focus on Israel's actions,
and we talked about that incident where the IDF thought
that you had people coming too close to where they
were located and that's why they opened fire. The focus
is on that, not the slaughter of hundreds of Palestinians
(11:45):
in the streets of Gaza, that Hamas is responsible for
the executions.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
I know, yeah, it's crazy, the deflection.
Speaker 6 (11:51):
And then he added this, but if it proves to
be something that is lasting, something that is durable, then
I think that that's where you give credit.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Then Mumdani was asked about efforts to disarm Hamas. Listen
to this exchange.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
Do you believe that Hamas should lay down their weapons
and leave the leadership in Gaza.
Speaker 6 (12:07):
I believe that any future here in New York City
is one that we have to make sure that's affordable
for all, and as it pertains to Israel and Palestine,
that we have to ensure that there's peace and that
is the future that we have to fight for.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
But you won't say that Hamas should lay down their
arms and give up leadership in Gaza.
Speaker 6 (12:22):
I don't really have opinions about the future of Hamas
and Israel beyond the question of justice and safety and
the fact that anything has to abide by international law,
and that applies to Hamas, that applies to Israeli military,
applies to anyone you could ask me about. All right,
that shouldn't be that hard. Should Hamas disarm?
Speaker 5 (12:36):
Yes, yeah, I don't understand. And there I mean, there's
obviously a difference between Hamas and the Palestinian people. Hamas
is killing the Palestinian so why wouldn't he say yes.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Terrorist organization. Well, he recently ran in the New York
City Gaza five k, which raised money for the UN
agency with ties to Hamas, and then his wife on
social media more in the death of a pro Hamas
influencer who not only praised the October seventh terrorist attack.
The influencer was apparently killed while accompanying pro Hamas militants
(13:08):
who are attacking anti Hamas uh, you know, fighters in
Gaza City. So you can really get a sense as
to kind of where they come down on the all yeah,
and look, I don't even care about his socialist economic plan.
All of that should be disqualifying enough, and just to
give you a census to you know how many people
(13:29):
are viewing this race. You've got New York City Mayor
Eric Adams. There are reports Team May endorse Andrew Cuomo soon.
I mean, Andrew Cuomo is their last hope in this world.
It's just it's it's unbelievable to see what's happening thereat.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
Yeah, it's crazy, like in the biggest city in the
country with so much money in Alroy, that's the options.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
