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)

I'm just saying that's not only I don't care not only that I mean they're smart yeah smart yeah they got brains there is that whole package so there you go well check in with Steve Carney just after 8 o'clock check in seeing what's going on getting ready for the North Dakota Minnesota deer opener a week from tomorrow North Dakota at noon week from Saturday in Minnesota half hour before sunrise I believe of what it is and then on the 22nd is when South Dakota deer opener so it's two weeks after North and South North Dakota Minnesota open up but we'll see how he's doing see what I know he's been fishing because the fish just with this season being late the fish are going crazy hey did you see Trump over in the South Korea yesterday they did they gave him a crown they gave him a gold crown so they're kind of like laughing too about the no King stuff Trump's like yeah I wish I could wear that right now it was great by the way he came out of the meeting and China's gonna buy a ton of soybeans so the elevators will be good sounds like it was successful the meeting was only an hour and a half and he had four hours allotted for it so yeah we'll hear more about that on Fox News I'm sure coming up yesterday Scott was talking about just the the panic and the things that are going on and everybody you know when the waters are rising you don't really know what's going on etc etc and but we just have to trust this this team I really believe in we have to realize that nothing and I know it sucks if you have a bin full of spins full of soybeans and you can't sell them I know and cattle ranchers seem to be pretty happy because the cattle prices are fantastic but there's a lot of problems with every other commodity that we're dealing with but it's taken decades to tank this it's taken decades to screw you over well I don't think this team is there to continue the screwing process I think this team is here to fix it so I've got some farmer friends and they do have so I think soybeans my cousin does and they asked her you know over at the elevator you want to sell now or you want to hold up she's like well probably be smart to hold off see what happens with China and I think that's what most farmers are doing so I think it'll all work out in the end amen praying for you no matter what you're dealing with but here's a picture of Hakeem with a team with a sombrero no it's a dollar store Obama on the front of it he kind of is I don't I just I don't I don't understand these folks not getting it I'm not seeing the not not hearing the message other than Trump bad

where are we going we're not snowing yet but no you're still getting at it yeah I still don't see any I mean anything that's gonna accumulate in the forecast here we've been we've been lucky so far I

we've got a few light sprinkles on radar from stretching from about Crookston southwestward to just west of Castleton moving slowly east and this isn't gonna amount to much it's just gonna be enough to tick you off if you washed your vehicle it's gonna be that about that amount of precip and that'll be out of here by oh nine nine thirty this morning it moves eastward and then we'll be left with partly to mostly cloudy 50 today with a west-southwest wind 10 to 20 and mainly cloudy tonight and a load of mid 30s and for Friday a little clipper system a week one pushes in from Canada bringing us clouds and chilly conditions for the trick-or-treaters highs only in the low 40s and we're looking at a few rain or snow showers throughout the day again it's not going to accumulate but it's just a minor event and then the weekend holds two different stories Saturday 40s with partly cloudy skies and then we're up to 60 as we head into Sunday so Sunday looks nice and mild but it will be on the side we're looking at winds we're looking at winds up to 30 you know I don't see it being as strong as it was the other Sunday but still breezy breezy to windy but heck you know you get 60 degrees or

sombreros it says dumb and dumbrero dumb and like dumb and dumber oh man look over here and there's a bunch of text hey guys I did some math that helps to explain all of this and how easy it is for Democrats to launder taxpayer money dollars they hide it inside of huge amounts and nobody notices the money gone for instance if you take the 1.5 trillion that they want added to the budget if they took 300 billion out of 1.5 trillion used it for the Democratic Party and to enrich themselves it is the same as having fifteen thousand three hundred dollars out of that amount and you still have fourteen thousand nine hundred ninety-seven left nobody's gonna miss three dollars or missing three cents out of a buck for a hundred and fifty dollars I get you the percentage of money lost is the exact same well that's we've been saying that forever Trump's shutting down the grift yes he's that doge really shined a light on a lot of it for people who didn't know what was going on we all know now we're all on to you you need to knock it off and those that have been doing it need to leave because you're not gonna get away with it any longer it's not we're not we're not putting up with it we're not getting any more thievery that's saying man you look you tell me that somehow some way in Minnesota with now over a billion with a B in fraudulent go down the list from daycare to autism centers everything's and you sign to tell me somehow that walls knew nothing about any of that or anybody at that level of government in Minnesota didn't know anything about any of that going on didn't have any unless somebody's getting paid to not pay attention have Dean look at about nine ten years ago no snow at Christmas okay okay you're right Hakeem is a real scholar I'm sure he was a valedictorian of his class he said the Republicans are the reasons that the Affordable Care Act isn't affordable yeah can you say DEI yeah the Affordable Care Act isn't affordable because it's the Affordable Care Act if you look at how it works it's and these people just think money grows on trees let's keep growing the money and we'll just keep spending it and stealing it keep it coming 7 0 1 2 3 7 15 90 is the number all right yeah all right majority leader soon he delivered a fiery speech on the Senate floor on day 29 of the federal government shutdown let me just point out if I might that we are 29 days into a Democrat shutdown and the senator from New Mexico was absolutely right snap recipients shouldn't go without food people should be getting paid in this country and we've tried to do that 13 times you voted no 13 times this isn't a political game these are real people's lives that we're talking about and you all just figured out 29 days in that oh there might be some consequences there people run out of money yeah we're 29 days in and they've done their best to make sure that a lot of these programs are funded but at some point the government runs out of money 13 times people over here front voted to fund snap 13 times they voted to fund wick I aching back finally realized this thing has consequences by a kid ass well you know what what Democrats are doing here they're making plans to keep the shutdown going and they realize all of a sudden 29 days in that this is a real consequence real-life pain for American families something that results from their shutdown so are they making plans to end the shutdown and reopen the government nope they're gonna propose a bill to fund food stamps during their shutdown yeah no that's what they want to do just to piecemeal this thing together it's not gonna work though no I I'm I'm fine I'm I'm just keep it shut down we've been saying shut it down now it's shut down now yeah I'm fine with it well they will the Dems need to come to their senses they're playing games with people's lives here let them hang out there so I'm saying this president this request is a transparent admission the Democrats want to keep the shutdown for what another month longer this bill is a cynical attempt to provide political cover for Democrats to allow them to carry on their government shutdown for the long term I'll point out we did 13 short-term clean CRS when they had the majority and President Biden was in the White House 13 which was ridiculous as well they've not voted 13 times against a clean CR I don't wear you I don't have no idea where you're coming from the Democrat leader said that President Trump could end this with a stroke of his pen and he's right we passed that bill with a stroke of his pen he'll sign it in law there you go and the government opens up and snap beneficiary snap recipients get food assistance but you know what else TSA workers get paid air traffic controllers get paid Border Patrol agents get paid troops get paid these people here get paid who are working without pay you want to extend that and keep that going yeah it's ridiculous they they want people to feel the pain and they think the Republicans are gonna cave and give illegals benefits not going to happen well and we have to hope and pray that the electorate is smart enough to see who's doing what here yeah the polls aren't good for the Democrats people know yeah hopefully no one's buying any of the Hakeem Hakeem crap that he's yeah well there's more programs that are going to be affected that we don't hear about so the people who aren't going to get the benefit of what they're trying to do today mr. president are all the other programs that are listen to all these head start grants to law enforcement to fight fentanyl and hire more cops to protect communities rural development programs they're important in my state center from New Mexico State I assume as well that support housing utilities infrastructure projects in rural communities small business loans certain direct loan and emergency programs that farmers rely on National Guard training critical to our nation's military readiness veterans transition assistance as they come out of service veterans cemetery services right now there are no headstones memorial certificates cemetery maintenance programs that are at risk rental and housing assistance delays in processing FHA insured loans delays in aircraft inspections and maintenance for air traffic control equipment not good people that are currently not getting paid I mentioned some of them but air traffic controllers TSA officers Capitol Police the people who protect us in this building NOAA employees who are tracking hurricanes and other potential weather disruptions disasters food inspectors other food and drug safety officials mine safety inspectors people who don't have pay certainty right now troops Coast Guard ice Border Patrol federal law enforcement federal wire line why chef I should say federal wildland fighters firefighters extenders that have lapsed telehealth and at-home care community health centers teaching health centers special diabetes programs payments for ambulances hospital at home services other lapsed authorizations CISA to prevent against cyber attacks national flood insurance program to prevent cloture or closure I should say on homes in flood zones that's what you're leaving on the table the bill at the desk takes care of all of it fun snap funds wick and yes with a stroke of a president's the president's pen he can sign into law and everybody starts getting paid again huh I like that why not that's a lot of agencies not getting paid they need to be they're important boy the Democrats are the party itself is just so lost isn't it it's it's so sad it's like because they've got the mom Donnie's and the Democratic Socialists I mean the lunatics over there they got their head in the sand then you got like Federman and a few others going uh what what are we what are we doing here I didn't I didn't sign on for any of this and meanwhile the the conservative side of the aisle is just common sense and stuff that has to be done they just keep showing out no I don't say are man unreal well the Dems they're just turning a blind eye to the suffering truly this is gotta stop hostage-taking now you want some political cover how long is this gonna go on how much how much longer you want to see it go on just a curiosity yeah so you think this buys some time you want the shutdown to go on for another month or leverage and then we're gonna have another people come down here and well let's carve this out or carve this out why don't we just open the government why don't we I've never seen anything like this I've been here a good amount of time I've seen continuing resolutions and appropriations problems and funding fights and government shutdowns I've been through a few I've never seen anything like this this just isn't done you want to have a discussion about health care absolutely let's do it open the government let's do it president will sit down with Democrats next week if you want to talk about health care that's not what this is about so mr. president we're not gonna pick winners and losers it's time to fund everybody who's experiencing the pain from this shutdown the Democrats really want to fund snap and wick I have a bill for them sitting right there at the desk clean nonpartisan CR to fund snap wick and the entire government and all the many programs and people that the Democrats snap bill completely ignores this president Democrats have spent a month a month now playing with people's livelihoods because the far left wing of their party won't let them accept a clean nonpartisan CR there it is right there yep damage from their shutdown they can end the shutdown bills right here at the desk right here at the desk you want to shut it down let's shut it down and what do they again they want leverage leverage for what they're holding out they won't vote for it because of why orange man we hate him why they want PBS funding back they want USAID nonsense drag shows in Ghana whatever the hell they want the griff back all of it most of all they want their illegal resident voters to get health care that's the griff there they don't want to lose kickbacks from that great stuff man need

which is happening on Wednesday on the brother station all day they're gonna be going and so she's she's prepping for that they've got all kinds of guests I hear maybe Brooke Rollins might be on with the Secretary of Agriculture next week on the brother station can get through some text here though 701 237 1590 it's a have you seen goodfellas with Ray Liotta DeNiro yeah that scene where they're all laughing hysterically in the bar and Ray Liotta's just busting out laughing the guy behind him is laughing and it says on top if Trump is a Nazi and Trump won the popular vote that means that most people believe the Democrats are worse than Nazis I heard texture says I heard snap recipients spend more on groceries because they don't have to shop smart 440,000 in Minnesota Wow I I don't know how that works I've never gotten EBT or any of that stuff I don't I know people that have and you can't lump them all together maybe some are a little smarter with their money than others you know the ones that stand out and all the ones on social media now saying they're gonna go start stealing yeah they don't do it give us our money we're gonna steal it yeah okay some real special folks out there to have seen Tom yeah Tom Hamilton the rap artist shares a bunch of them all the time it's like wow who are these people how about you go to go to work go we'll get a job get a job at that Walmart you're ripping off yeah the USDA will allow 42 million people to be on food stamps and WIC well the DOI or whatever says you can't feed the wild animals in the National Parks because they will come dependent on the hand the free handouts a little irony in that isn't there yeah don't feed the animals they'll be they'll come back to the campground and keep coming up they won't they won't go away feel the pain it says because the because the voted for Trump securing borders and end wars feel the pain I don't know what that is but there's a ha ha in the end there I don't know I think the government should stay shut down pay the military and aircraft air traffic controllers with tariff money I think it should be the state's responsibility to make sure their residents have enough to eat well there you go some states are doing better than others hey guys on the naked driving driver most old truckers no longer use CBs because if drivers do speak English all they do is sit in truck stops and tell you I ain't got no panties on huh trucking ain't what it used to be come on and then the thing with the someone said like truck stops big truck stops are worse than like the worst parts of Vegas when it came to working girls and things like that you know I don't know I'd all I know is people that can't read the roadsides probably shouldn't be driving 80,000 no if you can't speak English that's and there's your sign to thanks I Gavin all these other states that are giving out license to people who obviously didn't earn them and if you haven't seen the video this guy the police officers like do you speak English what company do you work at California hey guys did you see crying Chuck try out his acting lessons yesterday he was madder than hell and had himself whooped up into a froth swearing like a sailor oh yeah that's all they've got is swearing we've got some good stuff for you from team coming up you like that one too pretty sad one more here and then we'll roll that Tivo Democrat backfire the government shutdown has awakened a public about how many people are on food stamps 59% of the 42 million are receiving snap but they are not American citizens also a great deal of snap recipients trade some of their food stamps for cash yeah that's true oh it's a whole racket yeah it's a racket we know it mm-hmm no doubt about it keep them coming Oh good Facebook link here too let's see we are literally watching the death of the Democratic Party you're right you're right it's it's gone and the rise of the Socialist Democrat Party the common dummies you think that's how's it gonna work out for you really and we're in the in the big picture of America go to a football stadium in Kansas and fly over country it doesn't matter I guess rocks and cows let's roll this Tivo I want to hear Mark Wayne senator Mark Wayne Mullen tells America's newsroom that he slams the Dems for using Schumer shutdown as leverage Dana we have a lot of tribes obviously in our state and so we have a lot of reservations I'm Cherokee myself when I was younger and we had seven of us kids at home we were on what they call commodities which is a form of SNAP program and it's a helping hand for a lot of these people in rural areas and reservations that may not have the same economic opportunities as some metropolitan areas and so it is I wouldn't say disproportionately high but it is high throughout the state and it's ridiculous that as Kathleen Kathleen Clark the number two ranking Democrat in the house said that they understand families are suffering but quote it's their only leverage point they're using American people for leverage because of political gain so we're not talking about Dana policy there's no policy discussion here this is all about a leverage point for political purposes and that's really hard to negotiate on the only thing we're asking them to do is reopen the government on a clean CR that Chuck Schumer wrote when he was leader of the Senate back set but back in September we're not asking to vote on anything they haven't voted for before either they voted on this in September they passed it they voted for the Democrats all of them voted for it in December they passed it they voted for it in January and they voted for it again in March what's changed is the political environment their base demanded that they shut down the government and they shut it down and now they're looking to play the to play the blame game and try to pin it on Republicans or try to pin it on on on on the president when even CNN's own poll shows that they're losing at that argument because American people aren't fools but they play them like they are well I mean just to follow up on Dana's point I don't know how we ended up with 1 in 8 million Americans that's right supplemental benefits I don't know how that happened well Biden economics what do you mean well he I mean you think about you had inflation at 9.45 as a high when Biden was in office you had in home or you had take-home pay drop you had wages drop you saw prices soar because of inflation and we're just now getting those numbers back to where they need to be because President Trump has brought the economy back you'll see those those individuals transition off as jobs come back as manufacturing jobs come back with middle-class livable wages you'll see those programs be less dependable or less desirable for those that have more income coming into their house yeah by nomics we can blame it a lot of it on there yeah they wanted more people on these programs though because more people on programs equal more Democrat voters well how do you like your Democrats now people amen and pay attention to what he said why this is going to be coming back and nothing again nothing's going to happen overnight but over the next three years pay attention what's coming back will be coming in as they get rid of the waste fraud and abuse that's in the system and and bring manufacturing back bring we have we have well over half a million trade jobs open right now I mean there's all kinds of things that are going to transition in the next couple of years I'm excited well and a lot of this would be helped to if our government computers could talk to each other and get on the same page so we can figure out if there's any inconsistencies right away and flag them I still pray that that's happening I know it is a transportation because I think Sean Duffy's all over that but you're right yeah for the paper trail money can't be moved from the snap program and negotiations are at a standstill okay so it's snap food aid it's head start it's air traffic control essential travel essential air travel awesome military pay here's the vice president on that JD Vance yes we believe that we can continue to pay the troops on Friday unfortunately we're not gonna go and pay everybody because we've been handed a very bad hand by the Democrats this is one of the reasons why you've seen some layoffs in the federal workforce we do think that we can continue paying the troops at least for now but we've got food stamp benefits that are set to run out in a week we're trying to keep as much open as possible we just need the Democrats to actually help us out so I know there's a way to move around money for a lot of these programs and some of that's happening right now but on the Senate side behind the scenes can you report today whether or not there is any movement on negotiations no we we have lost movement about nine days ago with the Democrats their demands are still the same 1.5 trillion dollars to reopen the government to bring back the fraud waste and abuse that one big beautiful bill cut out and give you know illegal immigrants health care again that's not a talking point that literally is what they're there that what they're wanting to do for us a lot of people have questions why can't the president move the money why if he can pay the troops why can't he fund these programs within the Department of War we always give flexibility for the Department of War to flex just in case of times of war and uncertainty and so there's a there's a chunk of money that gives them flexibility through the USDA and the SNAP program it's line item appropriation it's directly related for that and they cannot move funds in those areas unless Congress gives consent the Senate won't even pay essential employees right now will the Republicans will but the Democrats won't want even vote to pay essential employees much less allow those benefits to move and we wouldn't have to do this honestly if they would just simply vote to reopen the government on a clean CR that they wrote I mean it's that simple we could get this whole problem solved today in five minutes if they would vote for a clean CR and they voted for it before now all of a sudden it's a problem well they voted for it before because it included all the pork that's the other thing around they always they voted for it every time because they could because Schumer could put remember all that crap they used to put in at the last minute oh yeah you gotta pass it before we read this is that yeah but this is what they voted for before they they voted for this one last time around and it was perfectly fine without any extra pork well it had pork in it because right and they want back in it is the pork that it had it before you know anyway they need to just figure this out and they they keep saying that yeah they can move the snap money around no they can't no there's no money left to do it nope and sorry we're selling the casino guys it's it's over so go get get in get a new gig or figure it out a couple of texts here every company that employs non-us truckers should be shut down 60,000 more jobs could be added for u.s. citizens and do we have those for many drivers so I think but how about we do a little vetting be good you know drive a semi if you want to know you can read the road signs that'd be good and do that be super Dino's here got to get into the weather get some sports get a business report at the bottom of the hour got some headlines Austin Erickson in the newsroom and Steve Carney a little bit later on after the top of the hour getting ready for the rifle seasons in Minnesota North Dakota then South Dakota opens two weeks after we open a week from this weekend what's the and you probably aren't that far out but a week from tomorrow is the North Dakota opener you know and a week from Saturday is a Minnesota so I I do see some cooler weather coming in around that time okay but nothing cold I mean nothing you know what I mean nothing yeah to really like whoa and we better watch out for that but I do see a little more a slightly more active pattern as we start off this month of November next week but they look like weak systems very fast-moving weak systems so that again we're just are we on borrowed time are we just gonna get are we gonna get paid back for for this nice weather you think of course we are this summer when I want to be in the swimming pool but we are looking at a few light showers on radar right now stretching from just north of northeast of Crookston down through Castleton moving eastward I think we'll see a band of a light shower activity pushing through the FM area here within the next hour and then we're looking at partly cloudy to mostly cloudy skies for the rest of the afternoon highs close to 50 today with the west-southwest wind 10 to 20 winds shift to the northwest tonight 10 to 15 and lows dropping off in the low to mid 30s and tomorrow we're looking at a clipper system coming our way cloudy and chilly low 40s tomorrow with a few rain and snow showers but then the weekend dries out and we'll start to warm things up 40s on Saturday and near 60 on Sunday it will be a little bit on the windy side on Sunday nothing like last Sunday but we'll have some pretty breezy conditions up up to or in excess of 30 but last last Sunday I mean it was over 50 yes you don't want to be on the ladder putting up the Christmas lights in the way you know not a good idea no all right buddy hey our

seasonal it's very seasonal hey weather brought to you by the team at bravera bank rooted in the heart of our community that's kind of their vibe and of course that was formerly vision banks they

with this just great guy we got to get into some Tebow here a second we'll get our techs in wonder hey guys I wonder who is gonna win the battle between Tom Holman and Kristi Noem I didn't know they were battling Tom wants the worst of the worst deported Noem is firing ice heads in major cities for not hitting her target number well yeah I don't yeah I don't know that that's not the same team yeah well here's what's going on the the Trump administration wanted more people deported and their numbers are behind Tom Holman says they're going to focus on just getting the worst people out of here and Kristi Noem is saying you know what if they're illegal our bond is a Bondi I don't know whatever which ones but they're saying if they're illegal they're illegal and we're we want them out of here yeah so that's what's going on I don't think they're on the same page I don't you know that's well that's that's the little conflict so sometimes people like to make a big deal out of it but yeah I agree illegals illegal hey guys the truck driver with no clothes on was parked in an unauthorized spot yes he was this is what attracted the police to him he was undoubtedly in his sleeper and it went downhill from there on I believe he was sitting in the seat of the video I was he was in this front seat with not none naked a bird maybe he just got up out of the sleeper and wasn't ready to but yeah parked illegally I don't know speak English get some pants on there sir sir put some pants on huh oh god bless our law enforcement what you deal with I can't even tell you it was that was a fun video Kev Alex nail the coffin on the nail in the coffin on the Democratic Party they're creating DDD Democratic Debbie Downers like Kevin says about ready to stick a fork in those those folks yeah I they're so divided they're so fractured they and what they're fractured over is nonsense the it's like the really extreme stuff versus the well pretty extreme stuff yeah it's all pretty wild but okay knock yourself out with it memes and links thank you much on that one got a good shot of it's it's a Trump and G together and I tell you what and what is I won't get into what it says but the guy is you see Biden doing that ever anybody know and no at least he's there and he's coming away with a big deal we're the big deal so the soybean bins might be emptied soon let's hope for that 701 237 1590 the five you say on the TV yeah we're gonna go to the five they're talking about day 29 of the consumer shutdown we need five Democrat senators to pull their heads out of their go work for the United States yeah pull their heads up it's in Congress trying to smack some sense into Democratic leaders for keeping the government shut down now on day 29 there's some big deadlines loom the troops are on the verge of missing a paycheck and funding for a snap food stamps is set to run out this week and Democrats are refusing to fudge because it's easier to blame the orange man on Saturday for the first time in American history a vicious heartless president is cutting off food stamps this president is a liar he says there's no money to provide food stamps because of the shutdown that's Donald Trump is trying to weaponize hunger to pressure people on Capitol Hill the Dems are banking on Republicans getting the blame if food banks start overflowing but CNN's data guru says not so fast Republican Congress's net approval rating versus pre-shutdown it's rallying the base for sure look at this the net approval rating up 12 points versus pre-shutdown but it's not just with the base it's also with the middle of the electorate look at this among independents it's up eight points as well so we've got a situation here where Republicans with the shutdown are actually rallying their base but it's also something that's not hurting them with the folks in the middle anything it's helping them with folks in the middle you know Dana I think the Dems could have gotten away with the shutdown is the Republicans fault before Musk bought X but the population is too savvy so if you say oh they create the house and Senate Jessica a ten-year-old can easily refute that by just saying no you need 60 and that's on the Democrats and the Democrats is just I think the Republicans have a very simple message the Democrats shut down the government the Democrats could reopen the government that's yeah that's how you do it they shut it down they can reopen it yep this is not hard yeah they won't because they want the they don't want the casino closed come on well you know what the poll numbers aren't looking very good I do think the polling shows that it's hurting Democrats it's actually hurting Schumer and his polling numbers were low to begin with it's sort of ironic to that the Democrats all say that Trump is a wannabe dictator he's a fascist and they say that he needs to share no Kings but yet now they're saying he's the only one that could reopen the government they could actually reopen the government they could do it tomorrow senator Thune had that was the most animated I have ever seen that very he was a guy who's mad he said we've tried to do what they want to do 13 times there was a senator on today that said don't let the Democrats vote piecemeal and I think that that's the right tact mm-hmm Emily it's day 29 it's getting pretty bad Jerry Nadler is now buying generic diapers but do you think that when you it feels like the key to the Democrats success is other people's suffering they're basically taking their own constituency and holding them like in this kind of like threat this threat I don't know what you call it hostage thank you yeah I think it's it's an abomination because they're doing that from the safety and comfort of their own offices while they're enjoying their paychecks yeah yeah they like the suffering it seems like they they are picking and choosing winners they're like okay we want to fund snap but the rest of you know you're not going to get any money so they trying to piece field nail this thing together and it's it's not working it's what they always do Joey Jones says 10% of the country's snap goes to New York when it comes to this government shutdown Americans are sitting there going wait hold on two things are true right you can you can fund the government the same way it was funded for seven weeks and then the president said he would negotiate with you on the health care stuff before that time limit comes up why is that a bad deal why doesn't that work for you and why doesn't it work from because they don't think they'll win that negotiation either and that's the problem when Chuck Schumer stands up there and he uses cuss words what he's really saying is every opportunity I've had to advocate for my constituents that want the policies I advocate for I've failed at this entire time and this is my last opportunity to get anything I would like to get done because I'm not very good at my job anymore and this is all I have and in the meantime people who vote for him are hurting and I don't see why they would swing towards supporting what he's doing on the snap thing just real quick almost 700 million of eight billion dollars a month comes the New York New York for snap that's almost 10% of the country's snap comes to New York and that's before mom Donnie becomes mayor of this place I mean I think you said a few seconds ago why are people on snap why they continue to need to be on snap and maybe it does need things like work requirements work requirements that are so difficult that if you're under the age of 64 or if you have a child over the age of 14 80 hours a week you have to look for a job train for a job or volunteer oh my god I don't know how anybody could do that I think that's a little irony there yeah get a job like most people do well that's how you get out this is like kovat was like the perfect storm for all this nonsense and now here we are Wow yeah unreal oh well I'm gonna save you from too much Jessica here but this sums up her argument it's the Republicans fault so Gregory I have shown you that my tweet wasn't dumb sorry the Republicans fault if you are in charge you have to negotiate and just saying over and over we need to open the government and then we have to do it you have relation we have to negotiate meaning we have to give into you have to give something that we tell I think and what are you playing just just allowing this to happen is is is a cooperation you guys have to actually somehow stop lying to us about these benefits nothing that I have said is a lie nothing at all if you get here for illegal 90% of the big beautiful bill and you have to protect Americans health care which by the way they'll reward you at the polls because guess what people like to have health care coverage and they don't want to see their premiums go for 114% you will not be mocking me you will be bowing down at my old saved your party yes yeah when it first started I said we all know how this is going to end it will end with the Democrats caving the pain is optional they continue the suffering oh I like the way you say that hey I'm Dana the pain is optional sit over there I'll be back in five minutes we all know how it's gonna end they're gonna have to cave and she's right the pain is optional no one has to suffer just sign this thing and get it over with well and Jessica Tarloff they have to negotiate that thing oh shit no we're not getting the answers no there's no middle ground there's no negotiating the answers no on this done the benefits for illegal for health care the answers no on PBS and all of that the answers no we're not negotiating over that's the answers no on that so anything else you got and nobody this has got to be like an 80-20 thing but we'll we'll see I just Jessica Tarloff oh my gosh sorry beautiful need to know morning show on the flag be right back with a three-degree guarantee welcome back it's the need to know morning show on the flag great memes coming in this morning the with all that's going on the Hakeem Jeffrey ones are the best thank you for all of them 7 0 1 2 3 7 15 you got a hawk when

was Ali knocked out Foreman to regain the heavyweight title at the time and it was in Zaire Africa that's the rumble in the jungle name to it but yeah Foreman gets laid out and I'm guessing that's the day he probably went into the grill business okay I remember those yet those Tyson pay-per-view pay-per-view fights we'd get oh man back in the day no Ali in the rope a dope right yeah if Ali everybody be like the was soap it was theatrics of like no no no no Foreman hit like a freight train if you're on against the ropes you take some of that some of that shot out of it you can maybe beat

goodness this is a story for the ages I have never had an hold on before we get started hold on hold on Steve before we get started Kev do we need some mood music for this I don't know do we need the 40 point buck song queued up or 30 pointer yeah yeah yeah that one let's go all right here I am I go out to my soybean field last night and I brought Eunice my plastic dough decoy with me Eunice sits in my pole building most of the year okay so I brought out Eunice and put her out in front of my ground blind and my ground blind was up in the woods about 40 yards away from the southeast wind so was all smashed up so I brought it back set it up put Eunice out in front about 15 yards half hour later I see this giant dough I mean it had a huge head on it there was probably a four-year-old and it's like 500 yards across the soybean field she's looking at my decoy looking looking looking here she comes right on Oh yeah and so she stops about every 20-30 yards wolfing at my decoy she's stomping the ground coming and coming and coming and coming she gets about 25 yards and turns I fire my arrow and I put it right through my window side window of my ground blind you know right through the canvas and it just goes BAM and the arrow goes into the dirt and it made this gigantic loud noise I've done this before I've done this before I've hit the edge of the window before so she takes off takes off three four hundred yards across the soybean field stops again turns looks at my decoy she comes back again where she comes again and she's blowing at me blow blow which usually means goodbye and she's blowing and she comes in and she does the head bob if you've ever seen them do this yeah bring it up really quick yeah only on the hunting shows like on the whisper channels I see things like that but you really don't see that out of out of does that often protecting though the the girl the girls stand up it's just it's just amazing they do this to try to get the decoy to move or get some sort of movement she comes in drops her head what whips it up really fast trying to get you to move and she's stomping the ground here she comes right back to me stops at about 30 yards this time I made a successful shot went about 50 yards it was just a magical thing this is like 25 minutes this whole thing went on and you know usually when they're gone and you screw up they're gone but he came back it was so cool that's my story like a 30 point buck story or something but hey a nice does a nice dough that's fun I had to get help to get it in the back of my truck it was that big you know normal normally these big does like this are so smart that it's pretty hard to fool them with a decoy but I tell you it was just magical to watch that interaction between that deer and my plastic decoy it was just so cool to watch and it was plenty of light out you know it was just magical it was so cool got a just a note in from the newsroom sidebar here a 19th Avenue North by the Air Museum there's a crash up there and the traffic's being diverted around so if you're a commuter whatever brings you to 19th Avenue by the airport by the Air Museum they're diverting traffic as of right now I just want to long got that in so a week from tomorrow at 12 noon the North Dakota rifle opener and then of course Minnesota a week from Saturday everything I'm seeing looks good everybody's seeing deer I've seen a lot of good bow good bow takes I haven't I feel bad I still have a bow tag I'm more of an after rifle season with my bow than I am early but I don't think I'm alone there but I think the numbers are good what's your plan you know you're gonna be hunting close to home or where you gonna be on week from Saturday well you know you guys I don't gun hunt for deer I'm strictly a bow guy and I'm now tagged out so no no I'm I start turning to ducks now when you guys are up on the tree stands I'm on the water and I'm still waiting for a little bit of a push from ducks there's nothing absolutely nothing going on right now but the fishing is really good so I'll be fishing and then duck hunting pheasant hunting and letting you guys have the woods anymore because I don't care it's good to have you in a happy mood today Steve the ducks apparently are all in the Dakotas right from what I'm seeing tons of pictures from South Dakota and out by Bismarck that and they're crushing some pheasants out there too but not so much in Minnesota well this so you know you guys this southeast wind has been plaguing us for like a week it's southeast southeast we've got to get northwest and get a big push getting some redheads and cans in here and I think it's going to happen and you know many years they will come down during the firearms deer season everybody's deer hunting nobody's duck hunting and that can be fantastic so I'm not giving up hope yet it's probably going to happen and we could use some really cold weather and I don't see that either but then fishing will be really good I mean it's been good and it'll just continue to get better so a lot of stuff going on all right well congratulations on the story did you do you ever film any of your stuff do you are you just you just out there yourself oh I really don't I don't have a face for the camera I have a radio if you want yeah I do I live it go to Steve Carney outdoors comm it's Carney with a C that is a great story by the way there and good luck with the fight on the ducks man I think you got to go west though yeah well we'll see in the next week time will tell take care you guys have a great Halloween you bet you too Steve Carney the great Steve Carney Steve Carney outdoors comm yeah it's weird I've seen a ton of swans around lakes country Minnesota but the ducks and a bunch of geese here and there but it's weird I don't know it was the fires or whatever but flyways have all been pushed west but that seems to be the case all right need to know morning show on the flag it's Kevin and Alex getting ready to put a fork in her got more Tivo to wrap up yeah we've got Trace Gallagher with a panel and then he's got some sound from Hakeem you're gonna want to hear all right need to know morning show on the flag we'll wrap it up next coming up on 824 need to know morning show on the flag Dino's got a forecast here and this isn't you ever seen the listen listen into the to the advertiser trying to renovate the big Warlitzer you ever seen the big the big pipe organ at the theater yeah Dean you ever been down there you ever seen this not in here yeah okay that's a worthy that's a worthy renovation that thing is that that is a that is like a work of art so is the Fargo Theatre for that matter when you go in oh yeah it's cool talk about some history yeah let's throw this you got to hear Hakeem here a day 29 of the government shutdown and there is no end in sight we've got Trace Gallagher and he has some sound from Jeffries and a panel to discuss back to you but he's behind closed doors at least at this hour Kevin Cork live for us in DC Kevin thank you let's bring in California Assemblywoman Alexandra Macedo and political consultant Michelle Bacchus thank you both for coming on Ali to you first I want to play some sound here Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer are now kind of shifting this whole shutdown narrative that Republicans want people now to go hungry mm-hmm they have the money but they are choosing to withhold funding for snap because they want to punish hungry children yeah hungry veterans hungry seniors hungry women and hungry families as part of their continued effort to hurt everyday Americans nobody believes that I mean desperation thing and the other thing is why all the cussing why is Chuck Schumer you know and call the f-word with the president and everybody's got a cuss up on Capitol Hill what happened decorum I'm sorry watching that video just makes me so angry because if anybody watches that and believes for even a second that Democrats care about you they lie I said this earlier in the show Chuck Schumer lies Hakeem Jeffrey lies yeah they really cared about people getting their snap benefits they would get their senators there they would get the government back open and we would get back to business yeah pretty much yeah get the government back open it's it's not that hard yeah they do sound desperate don't think I mean they're swearing and all this fake indignation well listen when you listen to Jeffries it's all just you blame blame blame it's not us yeah it's just a harm and everybody's gonna die or whatever and open it up but all you gotta do open it up sign the papers sometimes are starting to wobble on the shutdown though meantime you had a Democratic senator who was actually challenged on one of his answers Michelle Bacchus it was on CNBC watch are you ready to vote with with the Republicans to reopen the government at this point as a reasonable Democrat maybe others would follow you I'm not there yet this is the right way to do it senator but by people not getting paychecks at the TSA that this is extortion you think this is the right way to do in your conscience you think it's the right way to do it oh he says he's not there yet it sounds to me like and you hear this a fair bit today the Democrats are starting to kind of feel that they might need to adjust Michelle yeah it seems like the Democrat propaganda machine just is not working but to his credit I actually give him credit for pushing this I mean you look at what's going on right now you have 42 million people in the Democrats continually want to blame Trump they want to blame the Republicans this is their stick it's time to give it up look the Democrats could have opened the government I mean they voted not to over a dozen times I don't think even the mainstream media can continue to believe the lies at this point it's just becoming preposterous yeah meantime you have Brooke Rollins the AG secretary on China trade she said the following here watch what's particularly rich about New York saying that or California or any of these other blue states that have filed the lawsuit they say oh no we're gonna go you guys USDA go find the money is it's their very friends partners colleagues Democrat elected officials that continue to vote over and over again to keep the government closed yeah I mean get the soybeans on a boat let's get this thing moving yeah right absolutely and what's funny is Gavin Newsom has called on the president saying you know we're gonna sue you to make sure we get our snap benefits out here well the truth is he can call his friends and we can make this happen pretty quickly if he wants to show his influence within the Democratic Party that he's trying so desperately to do out here in California if he wants to be helpful let's get the government back open let's make things happen and we can go back to our normal program of him challenging President Trump at every turn yeah it's amazing oh she's a rock star yeah so anyway that's the latest on this thing I don't know if they're voting again today hopefully they will and they can get this thing rolling well I want to see more of her she's a she's another one California Assemblywoman of State good-looking Republican woman again speaking a good-looking Dean what do you want nice weekend I think I could get that for you we've got to get there though first and we got a little light rain moving through the FM area right now that's slowly pushing eastward in the lakes country should be out of here within the hour and then we'll be left with partly to mostly cloudy skies for the day should be dry for the rest of the afternoon with highs around 50 west southwest winds 10 to 20 tonight winds shift to the northwest and we'll have mostly cloudy skies low to mid 30s and then a clipper system brings a little rain snow mix on Friday chilly highs only in the low 40s Sun returns for the weekend light winds
