All New Rebel Republic with Steve Cully and the VOICE OF REASON, FRANK CRISTIANO. Coach Schuman had to miss because his team was playing a game. We started by discussing the release of hostages, which Hamas provided after negotiations with President Trump and Israel followed soon after, doing the same. We dive deep into the Government shutdown. Is there an end in sight? Both Republicans and Democrats have drawn lines in the sand, and nobody seems ready to budge. Funny how in history, the longest government shutdown was in 2017, lasted 35 days, and it was with President Trump as well. He went after Senate Minority Leader Chuck Shumar, saying he is making poor decisions and the Democrats lack any kind of leadership. We finish by talking about New York City Mayoral Candidate Mr. Mamdani and the $13,000 that he received in campaign finance donations from outside the United States. It is illegal to accept foreign donations. Recently, his mother-in-law gave $500, and all the money will have to be returned. It's a simple drop in the bucket; Mamdani has a warchest that will blow the other candidates out of the water.

Gerard J. Snyder, a lifelong Upstate New Yorker and Dolgeville attorney, steps into the political arena in a revealing episode of the Small Town Life podcast, hosted by Dave Warner on the Studio 25 Podcast Network.

All New Rebel Republic with Steve Cully, Coach Schuman, VOICE OF REASON FRANK CRISTIANO, and Senior Political Correspondent Tyler King. We discuss the government shutdown and how no end seems to be in sight, plus it doesn't look like either side wants to resolve the issues. Republicans are using the shutdown to blame Democrats, saying they are rejecting every offer being made, and blaming them to hopefully gain more support. Democrats say Republicans are stalling, stalemating them at every turn. Democratic Minority leader Chuck Shumur has to take a hard line because he was harshly criticized last time when he caved. It does not appear to have an end in sight.

In the next episode of the Building Local Business podcast, host Carl Ulinski sits down with Donna Marie Aiello, the spirited new owner of Aiello's Laundromat in Herkimer, New York.

In another episode of the Small Town Life podcast, host Dave welcomes Elizabeth Snyder Fortino, a lifelong Herkimer County native and seasoned attorney, as she discusses her candidacy for Supreme Court Judge in New York's 5th Judicial District.
