It's Wednesday, October 1st. I'm Jane Koston, and this is wet today. The show that has

experienced some cold rooms, but nothing quite as frigid as the response to this remark from

Defense Secretary Pete Higgseth to a room full of top military brass. To our enemies, F-A-F-O.

If necessary, our troops can translate that for you.

For Heg-S-F, I assume F-A-F-O means flail around and freak out.

On today's show, President Donald Trump announces his latest business venture, Trump RX.

And FBI director Cash Patel smuggles guns into New Zealand.

Whoopsie.

But let's start with the government shutdown.

The government has shut down.

And Trump even seemed to be looking forward to it.

Curia is speaking in the Oval Office Tuesday afternoon.

So we're doing well as a country, so the last thing we want to do is shut it down.

But a lot of good can come down from shutdowns.

We can get rid of a lot of things that we didn't want, and they'd be Democrat things,

but they want open borders. They want

men playing in women's sports. They want transgender for everybody. They never stop. And they don't

learn. We won an election in a landslide. They just don't learn. So we have no choice. I have to do

that for the country. Nonsense town, as always. But it's telling how Trump views forcing the government to close up shop.

Typically, a government shutdown is a sign of failure to get something important done,

which no president and no political party really wants.

Because remember, no one really ever wins a shutdown.
