We cover what a shutdown means and if it will happen — plus the National Defense Authorization Act. 🇺🇦🇮🇱 Funding for Ukraine and Israel are two of the five most important decisions facing Congress and there is a lot of pressure on politicians to change course. We cover how Congress should be tackling the funding on The Hill, and point out the land mines that await them. 🦒 And a little variety to kick off a short week with Hooters’ work at rebranding, what it sounds like to get hit by a giraffe and Ashbrook’s continued hatred of raccoons seems justified. 00:00 - Fall Agenda for the Federal Government 06:57 - Nominations and Schumer’s Blockade 12:13 - Will Schumer Shut Down the Government 28:46 - Status of The National Defense Authorization Act 33:44 - Russia, Ukraine, and the Middle East 42:59 - Interview with Energy Secretary Chris Wright 46:53 - Hooters is Looking for a Rebrand 54:40 - The Brutality of the Animal Kingdom 01:02:46 - Director of the National Economic Council - Kevin Hassett Our Sponsors: ➢Find out the true power of America's oil and natural gas.
