Your Heard Tell Show for Monday, October 2nd, 2023 is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern our times by discussing congress pressing the snooze button on a government shutdown, starting a new 45 day clock on getting the government funded, and setting up a GOP intramural between Speaker Kevin McCarthy and Matt Gaetz. Economist Stephen Popick returns to discuss how the current funding debates in congress do nothing to address the actual fiscal problems the country faces, how government spending does and doesn’t work, how not all the federal bureaucracy is created equal or can be buzzworded away, and the how and why housing is such a vital economic indicator for the future. Then, our friend Sarah Stook returns to give a Brit’s perspective on the GOP primary and latest debate that she wrote up for Elections-Daily.com, her take on the hot mess of the debate stage, covering Nikki Haley’s campaign, the looming non-presence of Trump, and her thoughts on American politics.

All that and more on this episode of Heard Tell.
