Hey, it's Jamie to tell you about a great deal from my friend Lance and his guys at L.D. Smith Plumbing ever run out of hot water halfway through a shower? It's not fun. That's why I love tankless water heaters. They give you endless hot water, lower energy bills, and take up way less space. And right now, L.D. Smith is giving you $1,500 off tankless water heaters through the end of the month.

Give Lance a call 317-927-7-1-186 or give them a visit online L.D. Smithplumbing.com to schedule today.

I'm shocked. We're all still alive, Casey.

0:36.2

Because the government's shut shut down the federal government has

0:39.0

shut down how is it affecting your life tell me on every level be specific what is it doing to

0:44.7

your day-to-day operation got up and did the same thing today i do every single other day oh so

0:50.2

really not at all that's right yeah and i think i think we said so at midnight midnight, the federal government quote, quote, quote, shut down. Now, of course, there are still many facets of the federal government that are operating exactly as they always have. The average. For example, Congress is still getting paid. That's right. I also saw that the, like, they're not even shutting the park service down on this one. No. And the Smithsonian is going to stay open for, I think it was until October 6th. And the postal service that's still running. They're still collecting student loans. Yeah, all the. Social security is still going out. You made a great point. You notice it's never the IRS that shuts down.

1:28.1

They're never, they're never, you know, we must stop collecting taxes. You can still pay them.

1:31.6

They still want your money. And, and the people who couldn't get it together enough to pass, you know, the CR, they're getting paid.

1:39.6

Somebody made a great point. This is the most effective the Congress will ever be right now,

1:45.1

not being in session, and remind everyone that the Republican Party is doing victory laps over

1:51.3

2:08.1

on one side are thrilled about Biden-level spending. The Democrats now say Biden-level spending,

2:12.8

2:21.5

They had to reach that 60-vote threshold needed to advance in the Senate.

2:25.7

Three non-Republicans supported the bill, including John Federman.

2:30.3

Hi, the same thing.

2:31.0

I just voted for two CRs tonight.

2:33.7
