Rick Tallent on the Pope's US visit; Treat of another government shutdown

Program TIme: 8AM-10AM EST

Many people expect Pope Francis is ready to trash US capitalism. Rick Tallent, highly-opinionated political analyst, experienced bi-vocational minister, and author of “Of Friends and Family,”will be joining us to discuss the Pope Francis' visit to the Unitied States. As the U.S. presidential campaign exposes contempt for elites and angst over the future, Pope Francis arrives for his first visit with plans to denounce gross inequality and planetary neglect.

In addition, this morning we will attempt to answer the questions: Is the US ready for another partial or complete government shutdown? Will the GOP survive another shutdown?

Jump "In the Pickle" as we address these issues and more. The chatroom will be open for your comments and questions. You are are also welcomed to call (toll-free) 855-236-2486 to share your views live on-air.
