the sheriff. they need to get out of town. but, you know, a lot of goofed goes on through these events. neighbors are helping neighbors. people out of state. call your friends in florida. encourage them to go shelters. uber is advertising. this is really cool, brian. i her heard of this. uber is advertising that they will take people free to registered shelters. take your pets with you. many shelters here are pet friendly. businesses like ultra pure water huge manufacturing businesses. they have opened their doors up to sell wholesale water to help people in tampa bay. lots of good going on. brian: all right. we will follow that let s change gears if we can and talk about the number one issue it seems as we get closer and closer to the midterm is crime. one story that stood out that get me in florida. this guy rakeem steven tate decides to go into convenience store in florida and has a rifle with him and says okay i m going to start stealing stuff. it turns out the convenience
for the first time on our economy and our bills. but you say we should extract a pound of flesh for. this yeah, good morning, brian, goofed to see you guys. i mean, yeah, first of all the debt ceiling is something that may not become an issue until january or so. what we are talking about is the continuing resolution passed in september that expires on friday night. the question before all members of congress, but particularly republicans, who run every year on limited government and on freedom are they going to stand up and say that not one single dollar should be used to fund government that is telling people that they must get a vaccine, a mandatory vaccine or they are going to lose their job? somebody talk to the veteran in my district. his father called me in tears because after 13 years of service, he might lose his job. is he facing getting fired or the woman who is nine months pregnant who is going to be fired from the hospital. she is a nurse in. talk about the woman that i kn
because donald trump is so out to get the media himself. no former president has had the contentious open warfare relationship with the media that this president does. he also. trish: wait a second, in some ways a lot of americans would say we like this because it s refreshing. yeah, his approval rating sat 35%. not that many americans are going to be saying that. trish: however, when the media goes after you, what defense do you have? if you can t speak up for yourself? he should be able to speak up for himself. i think what president obama is saying is that he personally attacks people. you wouldn t say these things to someone s fails. donald trump may walk up to crooked hillary and call her crooked. trish: he might. jessica, he doesn t attack he counter attacks. really? he lives his life on defense. set most powerful man in the entire world. he doesn t need to do that anymore. if someone attacks him unfairly as much of the media does. attacks him personally
