Host Steve Hallstrom is back in the Fargo studio on a windy, unseasonably warm October day, discussing day one of the federal government shutdown. He addresses the three biggest questions about the shutdown and details the controversial, yet highly praised, new standards for the Department of War set by Secretary Pete Hegseth. The show also features a powerful interview with Aaron Carre, an organizer of the "Fargo March for Peace," a look at growing violent crime, and a personal rebuttal to a listener's criticism.
