We are nine days away from another government shutdown if Congress can’t reach a spending deal. We’ll hear from Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on what a shutdown could do to our current economy. Plus, the facial recognition story that creeped out Kai. And, did you remember? We’re celebrating one of Earth, Wind & Fire’s greatest hits.

Here’s everything we talked about:

“‘Absolutely no reason’ for a government shutdown, says Treasury secretary” from MSNBC

“Barrymore apologizes to unions for resuming show” from YouTube

“Clearview AI could change privacy as we know it” from Marketplace

“Earth, Wind & Fire – September” from YouTube

Join us tomorrow for Economics on Tap! The YouTube livestream starts at 3:30 p.m. Pacific time, 6:30 p.m. Eastern. We’ll have news, drinks, a game and more.
