It's Friday, October 3rd, 2025. On Fridays, we've got a Friday five-pack as well as ask or tell

me anything. That's coming up next on the AM update. Thanks for making it through another week

on the AM updates with me. I appreciate each and every one of you for listening. As always,

if it comes to your mind, would you mind giving me a five-star review

on the podcast platform of your choice, whether that's iTunes or Spotify, all of your reviews,

not the one-star or two-star or three-star, even four-stars, but just the five-star reviews. Those are

appreciated very much. Thank you very much. I want to remind you as well on the

regular editions of the AM update. You hear those programmatic ads that are all over the place,

not on the Monday and Thursdays with our friends at Conduit clothing company that we've,

that we've teamed up with. But the other days of the week, if you want to get rid of those

types of ads, become a premium

subscriber on Apple Podcasts to the AM Update.

Those will wipe out all of those annoying ads, not the ones I do, but the annoying ads,

a programmatic ads is what they call them in the industry.

Five bucks a month.

You can wipe all of those out.

Let's get on with it, our Friday five pack, of course.

The topic of the week is the government shutdown.

President Trump spoke with One American News yesterday about what the Democrats are trying to demand.

It's politics, and they're doing things and asking for things that you wouldn't want,

and most people that are saying wouldn't want, and patriots wouldn't want. They want illegal aliens to get taken care of with health care. And look, I have a bigger heart than they do. But it's not even that. Everybody in the world is going to enter our country and say, give us free health care, give us this, give us that. It's going to ruin all of the things that we have, all of the plans that we have. Obamacare was never any good, but it subsists.

It's there.
