  Speaker 2: Welcome to the aired podcast. Happy Halloween, Happy Friday. We've
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: got rain showers and kind of a kind of a
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: scary forecast for the trigger treaters tonight, if they're even
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: gonna be out winds and rainsh I think it's beautiful though.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: I love looking outside right here on the sidewalk North
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Main Street and Berry and just seeing a I don't
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: know it's a rainy day, but we need the rain.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: We need it so badly. I'm jumping in this morning.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: We have a lot to get to, a lot of
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: things to talk about. I've got a special guest, Steve
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Cotton is standing by. He's going to be on with
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: me in just a little bit. We're talking about what's
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: going on with the FED cut and how that may
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: or may not affect your wallet. But I'm jumping in
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: this morning to sports because first and foremost it is
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: the sports world right now is just on fire logan
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: loose with me. Good morning, Bud, Good morning JD.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: How are we today?
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Brother? I couldn't be better. World Series decided tonight between
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: the Blue Jays and the Dodgers. Where it's in Toronto,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Man Stand, standing room, only tickets you want. You want
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: to stand tonight. You don't even want to seat, you
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: want to stand and watch the game. It's a thousand
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: dollars ticket bud.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: That's insane. But I mean for starters, I wouldn't want
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: to stand, especially if there's a chance that we could
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: have eighteen or nineteen innings. Again, not like it. He
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: has a stand for eighteen innings. I think I would
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: go insane.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: But and listen, if you want to be behind home
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: plate tonight, there's a few seats left. You gotta get
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: them fast before they're gone. But it's gonna you need
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: to open up your wallet, Logan because they're twenty grand.
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I can't say I'm surprised, honestly, it's the world's series,
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: especially like over in Toronto.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, not surprising, but I mean it's ridiculous.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: It's probably ridiculous, you know, absolutely not. You know me,
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: You know that I always root for the underdog. You know,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: I've been like kind of rooting for the Chase this
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: whole time. Man, it's like this, we got to talk.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: About, well, we got to talk about specifically for the
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: Blue Jays. We got to talk about that, uh picture kid,
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: the twenty three year old Lestrange. Yeah, he plays on
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: the blue Jays' backup. He got sixteen strikeouts?
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: Was it sixteen strikeouts?
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: I don't know, man, I just know he's damn good.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's a good and he's he's young, he's good,
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: and he's he didn't have like much of a postseason,
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: you know, up until the playoffs, and so you know,
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: seeing him play like like this is probably a big
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: deal for him, and in general, it's a big deal
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: for the Blue Jays.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Because yeah, hell yeah, uh who are you? Are you
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: going for the for the Chase tonight?
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: I think, yeah, I think I am with you. I
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: think the underdogs for sure.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: I mean, the Dodgers can still turn this around, but
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: it would be nice to see the Blue Jays pull
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: it off.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: I think blue Jays could pull it off, especially with
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: that comeback against Seattle in the Championship round a couple
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: of weeks ago.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think. I think hopes were a little dampered
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: a few days, you know, a few days ago with
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: the with the Jays. But man, they have they have
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: come back strong, and the team wants it. The fans
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: wanted thirty two years Logan, Oh yeah, no, thirty.
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: Years is making it's a it's almost you know, it's
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: almost in the same level as when Chicago the Cubs
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: finally broke their fifty year curse and the Cubs broke
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: their careers.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: A couple of years ago.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Uh, let's talk football. Look at the lineup. Oh my god,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: it is soft announced man.
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, no, we got a lot of We got
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: a great set of games this coming week. Honestly, last
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: night Lamar Jackson stunted on the Dolphins.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Though, yeah, yeah, six amazing.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: I'm looking at I'm looking at this list and I
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: feel bad for Giants right now.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: Giants aren't doing too well. They got so many injuries,
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: so many injuries. They're like a very beat up team
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: right now.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Who else was who else was playing last night?
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: In terms of football, Well, it's just well, in terms
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: of football, it was just one game.
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: But if we're talking, you know, we had the Boston Bruins, Yeah,
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: won in overtime last night against the Sabers.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: That was a huge, huge win, huge win. They needed
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: that for sure. They're doing they're actually doing okay, Like
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: they started off hot, kind of went downhill, but they
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: kind of came back.
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: So they're kind of in a good comfortable spot, I
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: would say right now. But and then in terms of
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: like if we jump over to our friends over at
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: the NBA, I mean we had Spurs and Heat, San
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: Antonio being the Heat twenty oh seven.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: To one oh one, Bucks and Warriors game.
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: Bucks beat the Warriors one twenty one ten. Uh, Thunder
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: play the Wizards one twenty seven to one oh eight.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: Thunder one that one.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: And then the Magic beat the Hornets one twenty three
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: to one oh seven. So the NBA is also really
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: doing well right now.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: His a lot going on there too, going into.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: Games like five and six so early in the season
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: for sure.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, uh, what else? Anything else?
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: I mean, the one big.
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: Topic I guess we could talk about is like we
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: could talk about Austin Reeves on the Lakers. How Austin
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: Reeves came out of nowhere and has been helping the
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: Lakers keep a steady pace with Lebron James and Luka
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: Doncic both being injured and so Lakers have actually kept
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: themselves pretty well for being you know, missing their two superstars. Celtics,
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: I mean, Celtics aren't doing too well right now without
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: Jason Tatum.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: He's still out for the whole year due to his
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: care last year he.
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: Had during the championship, he had that tear, and so
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: he's gonna be out the entirety of the season.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: He's not expected to return until next season, which that's
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: a long time. That's a long time without your star player. Yeah, man,
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: And there's also the question of.
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: Like when he comes back, is he gonna you know,
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: how bad is this injury gonna impact him?
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: You know, is he going to have.
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: You know, is he gonna come back and play as
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: good as he was or is he gonna come back
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: and end up like what happened to Derrick Rose.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 8:18

  Speaker 2: and the Seahawks and the Commander's incredible. Yeah, we have
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: some Fremont news to get to. We got some headlines
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: that I promise we'll get to. We'll get to all
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: of it. There's a there's a lot of stuff going
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: on this morning that we're gonna get to. Get in
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: some comments here, A little bit of disappointment in your
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: host of the Aired Out podcast this morning myself that
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: that I'm not not wearing a Halloween costume. I have
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: to I have to tell you that's actually an intentional decision.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Yesterday Bob Ross came in here and really shook things
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: up and not only scared me, but he scared my
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: co host yesterday, and he scared some some folks out
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: on the sidewalk. And I'm just trying to decompress, frankly,
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: and just relax and get it, get it in check.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, Bob Ross, the subject of so many nightmares. Listen,
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: the Federal Reserve has ah cut borrowing costs for the
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: second time in a row. They did this on Wednesday
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: and This decision has come amid intense pressure from President
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump, who has repeatedly called on FED shared to
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: her own Powell to drastically lower rates, arguing that it
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: would make it easier for businesses and consumers to borrow
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: and boost the economy. This has been, for some kind
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: of a big story that we've been paying attention to.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: Cotton is a financial strategist who has a multi faceted
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: career and investments in business and government and public affairs
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: for more than forty eight years. He's the president of
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Cotton Wealth Management Associates. Steve, Good morning, Good morning Steve.
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: Here are y'all man?
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: You know, I am so so honored to have you
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: on this morning. Does the rate cut provide a psychological
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: boost to consumers in the stock market? Do you and
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: do you think that some media outlets are making this
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: a bigger deal than what it really is?
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: Well, it is a big deal. It would normally be
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: a big deal if we were in more normal times
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: and we weren't amidst the government's shutdown, the FED has
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: basically pivoted from a focus on fighting inflation to a
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: focus on sustaining, you know, stable employment conditions in the country,
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: and we've seen a softening in the employment base. You know,
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: we've not seen any indicators we're headed for a recession
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: at all. But the Fed has now cut rates twice
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: in a row. They're going to have another Federal Open
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: Market Committee meeting in December. The betting is they will
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: cut another twenty five basis points, which is a quarter
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: of one percent, maybe taking our federal funds rate down
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: to about three point seventy five to four percent. This
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: is good in all circumstances. It helps reduce borrowing costs.
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: It's not good for people that are sitting in CDs
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: or have cash in bank checking or savings accounts because
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: the banks lower their rates what they pay for those.
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: But it's good for business borrowing, for consumer auto loan borrowing,
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: things like that. But the thing that offsets what would
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: normally be very positive action is this government shutdown that
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: persisted thirty five I think, and so it kind of
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: offsets some of that good news of the rate cut.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's everybody's talking about this this morning. I mean
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: everybody and their brother. Credit cards one of the main
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: sources of unsecured borrowing that so many of us have.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Sixty percent of credit card users carry debt from month
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: to month, according to a March report that just came
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: out from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Are
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: you surprised to hear that?
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: No, not at all. And I think with the government shutdown,
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: you're going to have more and more people. They're about
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: seven hundred and fifty thousand federal workers affected directly or
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: indirectly by this shutdown. And we're heading into the Thanksgiving
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: travel season, the Christmas buying season, vacation planning season, and
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: a lot of people have to resort to credit cards.
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: But the thing that concerns me is if people are
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: a day or an hour late on in their monthly
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: credit card payments, the credit card companies have systems that
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: jack them up automatically into a penalty rate that's just obscene.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, mortgages probably less impacted by the FED, but still
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: though making up the lion's share of consumer debt. Steve,
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: how do you think that'll be affected here?
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: Well, there is not a direct one to one correlation
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: between the Federal funds rate that banks charge other banks
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: for money and thirty year fixed mortgage rates. It's an
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: indirect relationship. When the FED cuts rates that does help
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: the environment for the interest rates on long term mortgages,
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: But there are so many other factors that influence mortgage rates, demand, supply,
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: all kinds of things. But generally speaking, federal rate cuts
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: a good thing. They're helpful. The Fed is sustaining the
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: momentum we're seeing toward lower borrowing costs, and that is positive.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: All right. So I think what you're saying here, to
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: wrap up in a nutshell, is maybe a little bit
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: of a positive ripple effect, but nothing that we should
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: be celebrating too much about. Right now.
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: Well, I think the government shut down will be end ended.
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: It will either end because the Democrats will conclude this
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: is a loser for them, or it will end because
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: the Senate Republicans decide to change the Senate rules and
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: do away with the filibuster in these kinds of situations
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: so they don't have to get the sixty votes needed
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: to pass a clean cr It will end. And beyond that,
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: these federal rate cuts will be in that positive yep.
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: And I think we've got another one coming in December, hopefully.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: Just got a comment here saying I sold most of
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: my box and bought treasuries stocks and crypto have been
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: high and will likely retreat. So I have been buying
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: on the dips. What do you what do you say?
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Let's say you about that.
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: Well, I think it's good to buy on the dips.
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: I would not be liquidating good stock positions in the
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: diversified portfolio because I think all of the things that
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: we have seen President Trump do in terms of these
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: these ginormous trade deals, the tariff policy, lowering tariffs on
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: our goods, you know, all the things he's done to
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: get countries to lower their non tariff barriers to our
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: market entry into their markets. All of these things President
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: Trump has done, the reauthorization of twenty seventeen tax cuts.
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: All of this is one hundred times bigger in terms
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: of positive economic impact long term than anything Ronald Reagan
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: even ever did.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: Wow, damn Steve, what's that now?
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: It's that bit?

• 18:08
  Speaker 2: exercise your civic duty and get out and vote. If
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: you haven't done so already. I know a lot of
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: early ballots have gone out and people have been voting
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: early on this bound vote right here in the Granite City.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: A couple of things here. Article one, the two point
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: four million dollar infrastructure to support the Stevens Branch apartments,
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: the big housing project that everybody's talking about here in
• 18:35

• 19:02
  Speaker 2: don't forget. And of course the Central from my Career Center,
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: I'd be remissed if I forgot to mention that, because
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: we've been talking about a whole hell of a lot
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: over the last couple of weeks. Jody Emerson's been on
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: with us, We've chatted with Nicholas Starelli Castro about it.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: That's a big one. CVTCC dot org slash future if
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: you want to have a look and see what's being proposed.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: More than one hundred and fifty students are turned away
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: each year because of capacity not being able to provide
• 19:48

• 23:17
  Speaker 2: which I can hardly wait to tell you. The forecast

  Speaker 2: us know this by now, that it's coming down and
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: it's going to continue to and it's going to be
• 23:35

  Speaker 2: it that I saw last night? Thirties, thirties, thirty six
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: well often on rain showers today fifty one. But yeah
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: it's tonight, Yeah, mid thirties with some snow late tonight
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: through the overnight rain showers for the trigger treaters. Between
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: thirty and fifty percent for most of Vermont tonight, depending
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: on where you are, between thirty and fifty percent, thirty
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: five thirty six degrees for the bottom out load tonight
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: with higher elevation snow showers will stick. I don't know.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: November one, tomorrow on Saturday, cloudy and forty two and
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: then Sunday mostly cloudy and around forty five degrees daily.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: Does that feel good? This morning? You know, I was
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: thinking driving in a mike, what can we talk about
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: that's local and good news? And I just I just,
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: you know, I was thinking about a couple of different things,
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, you know what I'm going to go
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: with this this morning, because it's right on the tip
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: of my tongue. It's on my mind and I want
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: to say it into the microphone. I came home last night,
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: and Lily, who's a little under the weather right now,
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: not feeling great, was so happy and excited because at
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: eleven years old, when she gets something in the mailbox,
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: it's a big deal. And a lot of us have
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: forgotten what that feels like, or we're too young to
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: you know, we'll get a text from someone or whatever,
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: but to get something in the mailbox is pretty special.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: It's pretty cool. And she got a Halloween card from
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: her friend Barb, who is a lady who lives right
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: here in Berry City who always mails her Birthday and
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: Halloween cars and it's just so kind to her. And
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: Lily was just so happy last night to get a
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: card from Barb. And I was just like, you know what,
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: I'm going to talk about that sporting because this a
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: feel good thing for me. I love that we went
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: trigg or treating last night. We had some fun. We
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: had a lot of fun. There's a an area in
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: in our town that has kind of made it a
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: tradition to do trick or treating the night before Halloween.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: And I don't know how long this tradition has been
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: around for a couple of years, I'm guessing, but we
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: went last night and we had such a great time.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: Lily is a Harley Quinn for those of you that
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: are wondering the kid's version, because there's no way in
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: hell that she would be wearing the same shorts that
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: Harley Quinn herself whares. Ever, so she's got the kid
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: version of those shorts, thank god. But uh, you know,
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: we had a great time. We you know, we we
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: saw some There were some really cool decorations. Some blood,
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: some gore, some dismembered bodies, some batstickers on the windows
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: that look like mustaches, some novelty gravestones. I love the
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: rest in pieces tombstone. Have you seen that one?
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: It was just awesome.
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: I just you know, even as an adult, you get
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: out and you're with the kids who are trick or treating,
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: and you feel like a kid again. The cobwebs, the
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: skeletons in the in the wacky poses, the giant skelleton
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: from Home Depot, the creepy clown heads. It's just so
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: much fun. By the way, the sports betting site Action
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: Network just crunched the numbers to find the odds of
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: each type of candy that is going to be landing
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: in your kid's Halloween bucket tonight, and they took the
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: stats from Instacart, door Dash, and a few other candy
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: sellers and compiled it all together. And they also took
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: into account population density across America to figure out how
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: many houses the average trick or treater would be visiting.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: The ten most popular here they are, and the odds
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: of getting at least one of them tonight. Number one,
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: first and foremost on the list My favorite, and you
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: already know what that is. It's the Reese's Peanut butter cups.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: Sixty seven percent chance of getting at least one. I
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: would have guessed more like ninety percent. But listen, if
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: your kid doesn't deliver at least one peanut butter cup
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: to your face, they have failed Halloween. Last night, Lily
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: took a couple out of her Halloween pumpkin bucket and
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: gave them to me, And yes, I accepted them. I
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: am not going to say no to a Recei's Peanut
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: butter cup. Ever, don't try to make me because I
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: won't say no. Number two in the list peanut m
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: and ms. Love those sixty five percent chance of getting
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: them tonight when you owe in the little yellow bag
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: of the peanut Eminem's. My recommendation is that you throw
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: them all in your mouth at the same time. None
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: of this one at a time thing, and then the
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: the you know, the the green gets on your fingers. No,
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: you just tear open the thing, the envelope, and get
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: them all in there at once, just an explosion of
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: peanut goodness. Number three regular eminems. Not a big fan.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: I'll take them because they're chocolate, but sixty two percent
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: likelihood tonight that your kid's gonna get, you know, the
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: brown envelope there. Number four kit Kats love them sixty percent.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: Number five stickers fifty eight percent tonight. So all of
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: the top five are chocolate. Have you noticed that. Number
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: six here's something I can pass on. Fifty five percent
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: chance that you're gonna get sour Patch kids tonight. Not
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: fan at all. Number seven Hershey's milk chocolate bars. Fifty
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: percent chance that you're going to get one tonight. Try
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: to give Sherylyn some Hershey's milk chocolate and see what happens.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: She's British. They're not fans of Hershey's, They're fans of
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: Cadbury or Sherilyn says Cadbury Milky Way forty five percent
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: chance you're going to get one tonight. Twigs at thirty
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: three percent love twigs and number ten gummy bears at
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: thirty three percent. Also something that I'm not a fan of.
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: Gummy bears. They get stuck in my teeth, They get
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: stuck between my gums and my teeth, and then what
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: happens is Sherylyn and I will get into a fight
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: because I'm going, well goosh for the next hour trying
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: to get that gummy bear out from underneath my gums,
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: and she's getting frustrated. Will you stop talking like that
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: when you just get it done, get it out of there.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: And it takes me like a good hour to get
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: that gummy bear out, So no, I pass on those.
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about the good old days. The box of raisins,
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: the toothbrush, the pencil. You remember this, don't you. There's
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: a two percent chance, according to the same study, that
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: your kid's going to get a toothbrush tonight. I know
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: the odds aren't high, but still the odds are there
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: two percent four percent that they're going to get a
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: box of raisins, twenty three percent chance that they're going
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: to find some candy corn in their back. Not a
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: fan of candy corn, never have been. Yes, Rex is
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: not able to make it today. One of the things
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: that I wanted to tell him, and I'll still get
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: a chance to, is that China has just introduced a
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: new rule requiring influencers to have official qualifications before discussing
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: sensitive subjects such as medicine, law, education, or finance, on
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: social media and politics. Let me say it again. If
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: you live in China and you want to get online,
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: you want to get on social media as an influencer
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: and talk about any of those subject matters, you need
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: to now have an official qualification. I don't know what
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: that qualification because I don't know if it means you
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: have to go to some course get a degree. I
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: don't know what it is. But Rex and I both
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: are happy that we don't live in China. See that Salem,
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: Massachusetts is overwhelmed right now with reckless tourists visiting for Halloween.
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: I was just down there a couple of weeks ago
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: with the girls. We had an absolute blast. We did
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: see some unusual behavior, Actually, we saw a lot of
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: unusual behavior. And this was the first weekend in October.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: It was a while ago. I have had people say
• 34:53

  Speaker 2: breathes it year round. Sadly, so does Massy. I mean,
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: the guy's birthday is on Halloween. And then there's Brian
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: Nichel and Tracy up in Berlin, right up at Berlin
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: four Corners, the Nichel Haunted Grounds. What a bunch of sickos,
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: great people, a stupid criminal file. This morning, we have
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: a woman in New York. I'll put the story up
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: for I'll put it up right now because here's why.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: Because you're gonna say, JD, come on, you're making this
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: shit up that that can't be true, that doesn't actually
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: make the news. I just posted it up. There's the
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: link right there. This woman in New York arrested after
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: vandalizing a car with condiments, a condiment criminal. From my
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: understanding in just a quick glance at the article last night,
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: it was no Relish involved. However, catch up mustard and
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: mayonnaise and a couple of eggs, just to you know,
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: get everything permanent. And I don't know if she knew
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: this person's car, if if she knew whose car it
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: was or not, but she got busted. How embarrassing to
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: make the paper in your hometown that you got busted.
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: Squirt and ketchup and mustard and mayonnaise on somebody's car.
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: There are other things that you can use other than condiments.
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: It doesn't have to be ketch up. The link is
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: there if you would like to read this story. I
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: will admit, however, I'll take this opportunity right now that
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: when my brother and I were kids, which some would
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: say that I m but when we were kids, we
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: we would go into McDonald's with mom and dad and
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: we would grab a handful of the little ketchup packets
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: and we would try try hard to sneak out of
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: McDonald's quicker than mom, and get out to the car
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: and take that handful of McDonald's ketchup and jam them
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: underneath the uh, the back tire, knowing that Mom was
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: going to reverse, and we would hear the pup and
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: we would have a good laugh about that. Am I
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: admitting this on the area? Sam? Does that make me
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: a bad person? That's up to you to decide. Today
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: the thirty first, I know the weather's not going to
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: be great, although it looks like the sun is trying
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: to poke through and the rain is still coming down
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: here in Bury, but it's a bright, sunny rain right now.
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: At least the weather's not going to be great. But
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: Berry City Main Street trick or treating. It's this afternoon
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: starts at four o'clock from four to five. A lot
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: of the businesses up and down North Main Street here
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: are going to be given out candy pack an umbrella
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: for the kids. It's I think it's it's intentional that
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: they're doing this before it really gets like super dark.
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: Four to five is not bad at all. Still afternoon,
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: not dark yet. But if you have a kid who's
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: going to be out trick or treating tonight, umbrella or
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: no umbrella in the rain and in the dark, cover
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: them with some you know, glow sticks or something flashlights,
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: just and listen. If you're out driving tonight anywhere, slow
• 43:21

• 44:41
  Speaker 2: sale going on in Northfield. I know it's been an
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: annual thing. I think that the only year that they
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: ever missed was was COVID. But I'm wondering about the
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: sock sale. Haven't seen anything on that, and I'm concerned
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: because those of you that know me know that I
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: love I collect socks and I have bins, bins, large
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: totes of socks at home. I'm talking hundreds of pairs,
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: and I don't want to miss the sox sale this year.
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: Sherilyn will will absolutely not let me go, so I
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: if I do go, I will have to sneak, which
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: I've done before the last time I went to the
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: sox sale. I'll tell you right now, it's two hundred
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: and twenty five bucks. And some people say, JD you seriously,
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: you have a sock problem. And I know this. It's okay.
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: I like dry warm feet. November twenty second at the
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: UH Barry Oaks Lodge, the annual hoop shoot in high school.
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: Ten am doing this in conjunction with the Elks National Foundation.
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: I want to make sure I get that on the
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: air too, and I'll be posting up that graphic too,
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: so be paying attention for that. What else my community calendar,
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm showing this morning. What else do we
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: have this morning? Some of these creepy clown heads that
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: I've seen that are kind of jumping out on online.
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: There's like these little things, you know, you, oh, look
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: at this, and you're watching it, and you're you're getting closer,
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: and you you're you're distracted, You're paying attention to something,
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: and all of a sudden it explodes with this big
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: clown that jumps out at you and you scream. Some
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: of you have sent me some of those on messengers
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: on Facebook Messenger, please stop. Uh. Last night I let
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: out a scream and some gas at the same time.
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: When that when I saw that we don't need that anymore.
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: Facebook Question of the Day, here's one that I'm gonna
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: post up here in just a little bit, and I
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: want to see what you have to say about this.
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: The and it's a kind of a two part question.
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: I really want to see some comments here about this.
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: The Medicare telehealth coverage it has uh are are you
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: a Vermonter who relies on this? It has ended? Do
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: you know someone who relies on this Medicare telehealth coverage?
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: It's done? And I wonder what the impacts on this
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: are going to be. I can only wonder. Tens of
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: thousands of Vermonters are going to lose their Medicare advantage
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: option next year. That's huge, and I wonder if you're
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: one of them. And if you are, I would love
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: to hear from you. I would love for you to
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: come on the air and talk about that. Of course,
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: I could reach out to someone under the Golden Dome
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: and have them in here too, maybe say everything that
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: you want to here, But I would rather hear from
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: the average Joe. I'd rather hear from the Vermonter who's
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: going to be impacted by this. I'm going to post
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: this up as soon as I got off the air
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: this morning, up on the Facebook page, and I want
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: to see what you have to say about this. There's
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: some real concern here and it's intense. The Vermont Eboard
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: has just approved a plan to fully fund SNAP benefits
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: during the government shutdown. The Vermont Emergency Board. Yes, they
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: approved state funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program also
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: known as SNAP despite the ongoing shutdown. What do we do?
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: I've lost I've lost count thirty two days, thirty five days,
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: something like that. I'm going to talk about the airports
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: here in just a little bit, lie Heap. The Low
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: Income Home Energy Assistance Program is moving forward as scheduled
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: as there's been enough funds to appropriate it. According to lawmakers,
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: SNAP or three squares Vermont going to be funded by
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: six point three million dollars from a state emergency fund
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: right here in Vermont that was included in the previous
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: Were you aware of this? The emergency fund is made
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: up of roughly fifty million dollars. I was reading this
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: on PTZ last night. This is the first time it's
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: being used this year, fifty million bucks and we're pulling
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: six point three out of it. If you thirty one days,
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: thank you, Mary. If you read the article, it will
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: tell you that the money will fully fund the first
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: fifteen days of the November SNAP benefit fifteen days, and
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: we'll support the approximately thirty eight thousand Vermont households enrolled
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: in the SNAP program that includes a total of about
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: sixty five thousand people. Fifteen days. Will it be long enough?
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: Will our government be open? Then? Will Congress get the
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: memo that it's their fundamental responsibility to take care of
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: its people and do whatever the hell they've got to
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: do to keep our government open. And as I said
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: last week, we're headed headfirst into the holidays, Thanksgiving, one
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: of the busiest travel times of the entire year, if
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: not the busiest. And look what's happening in the airports.
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: I'll talk about it a little bit. The Department for
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: Children and Families Economic Services Division is going to be
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: distributing the funds for SNAP benefits on or before November seventh,
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: using your existing EBT card. Brian is reminding me. I
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: wasn't aware of this, but he's he's reminding me to
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: discuss the Melissa Martins story. The Vermont teacher high end
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: cocaine at the Barrytown School. The police cam, unedited police
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: bodycam video of that has reached, according to Brian, one
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: point two million views on the Law and Crime Network,
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: which was released. Was it two nights ago? Yeah, not
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: last night, night before and I posted it up and
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: it's you know, it's exploded. I didn't realize it was
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: over a million views though. Incredible And if you haven't
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: had a chance to see that, and I know I
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: haven't talked. I didn't talk about it yesterday. I know
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: Bob Ross was in here being a pain in the ass.
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: I haven't really talked about this lately and and I
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: probably will next week. But after watching that video, there
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: were a lot of feelings that I had, And there
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: were also a lot of feelings I had after I
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: read Melissa Martin's post on Facebook, the whole different set
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: of feelings, yes, but it was the full game between
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: concern sadness, frustration, a lot of a lot of feelings
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: after watching that that video And if you haven't yet,
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: it's on the aired out page, scroll down you'll see it.
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: It's alarming. It's alarming. Uh. This morning I was I
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: stopped off at the Waste River store and grabbed a
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: cup of coffee and could see that they were they
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: had a collection for nonperishable food items for the community.
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: And I'll post a pictures up here in a little bit.
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: But I love seeing stuff like that. I love to
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: see community helping our community so great. One of the
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: headlines that I saw last night, and I know there's
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: a lot of stuff about the whole snap thing, is
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: the foodshelves and the meal services that are bracing themselves
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: more than ever before. Partly and maybe even mostly because
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: of the government shutdown, but there's other reasons. Man, listen,
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: if you're kind of exempt from inflation, you're really lucky.
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, everybody's feeling it. I would like to get
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: meals on wheels. On the air with me, we're going
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: to be talking a lot more about pack the pantry
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: which is coming up really soon over at the Price
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: Shopper parking lot, and the effects that that has on
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: our community. Yes, staying right here in Central Vermont. Everything donated,
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: there's never been. I know, it's like maybe last year
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: we said the same thing, there's never been, but I'm
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: saying it now. There's never been more demand. There's never
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: been a greater need. Everybody needs help right now and
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: allowed that karma to come back into your life. If
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: you can find a can find a bag something and
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: donate it, goodness will come back to you. At least
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: I believe it will. There's a lot to be said
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: about that. We could talk about that every single day
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: on the air, but I'll post something that I read
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: about this last night, the effects of what's happening right
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: here in the Green Mountain State. There's a few stories
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: that are still buzzing, that are still picking up momentum
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: here in Vermont. The Vermont State Police discovered human remains
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: well searching for a missing migrant up in I think
• 58:35
  Speaker 2: it was j Jpeak area. This all happened Wednesday, big story,
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: frea key. The Supreme Court is dealing with Vermont's voting
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: policy still, which allows legal residents to vote in local
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: elections regardless of citizenship status. What a mess, especially with
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: November fourth right in front of us. Williston's new ice
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: facility is offering a fifty thousand dollars sign on bonus,
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: and they're looking for new employees to staff their call
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: center right now. Fifty thousand dollars sign on bonus. You
• 59:29
  Speaker 2: know what, that screams to me. Nobody wants to do
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: that job. Chittenden County's years long backlog of criminal cases
• 59:43
  Speaker 2: is still getting the attention of lawmakers and those in
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: the criminal justice system right here in Vermont. Still, that's
• 59:55
  Speaker 2: a subject that I have been talking about into this
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: microphone for years. They don't have a handle on it.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: Zach Waite and Sarah George are going to be very
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: busy for the next few months, and Governor Scott will
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 2: make sure that they are. They have got to get
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: a handle on it. It's just listen. I don't have
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: the answers. I don't know how to even begin to
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 2: figure out something like that. But jeez, man, holy shit,
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 2: you get in trouble today and you get to the
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 2: uh to the bottom of the list, it's called to
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: me a long time before you're in front of the judge.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 2: By the time your number comes up, they will probably
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: be forgotten. I don't know, man, I know it's a
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 2: little outrageous, but it's just this is this is insane. Insane. Tomorrow,
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 2: November one, the resignation of Northfield Police Chief Pierre Gomez
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 2: will be official. I don't know if you've read the story.
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: It's got some pretty pretty deep roots. There's a lot
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: to be said about that story, a lot to be
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: said about Northfield. I mean there's thumbs up and thumbs
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: down about every freaking town in this entire state, Okay,
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 2: and I've heard all kinds of things about Northfield, good
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: and not so good. I would say probably more good. However, mhm,
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 2: I love Northfield right now. With what they're doing in
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: the with the construction in Northfield is an absolute shit show.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 2: If you can, uh, you can skirt around. There's some detours,
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 2: but man, it is there. What they're I don't know
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 2: what the hell they're doing new sewer lines, what do
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: they think? The entire road is ripped up. It's a mess.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: If you're in a rush and you need to get
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 2: through Northfield, guess what you're gonna be late. But anyway,
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: I have reached out to the chief, Pierre Gomez. I've
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: asked him to come on the air, and at one
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 2: point it looked like that was going to happen, and
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: I suspected that he was going to tap the brakes.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 2: But with his resignation effective tomorrow, and I think his
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 2: intention is to move back to Pennsylvania if I'm not mistaken,
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: but I would hope that he might be willing to
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: share a microphone with me and tell his side of
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: the story of why he's resigning, and I'll leave it
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 2: at that. That's some of what's going on and from
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: mount right now, it's just a little bit. Multiple airports
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: are experiencing and expecting ground delays because of staffing shortages,
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 2: mostly the controllers. And last night I was chatting with
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 2: a friend who is going to be trying to fly
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 2: out of Logan today and I'm not sure that they're
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 2: going to be getting off the ground. I don't know
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 2: if you've got travel plans in the near future, but
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 2: if you do, especially if it's a vacation, you might
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: want to double check and make sure that you got
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 2: the insurance. I'm not sure what's going to happen. No
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: one knows what's going to happen. But the FAA National
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 2: Airspace System Status page is showing that ground delays are
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: being experienced everywhere all major airports, and there's a advisories
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: everywhere due to the ongoing government shut down. Air traffic
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 2: controllers and other staff are being impacted. You think they
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: completely missed their paychecks on Tuesday. According to my calendar,
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: today's Friday, Tuesday. They didn't get a paycheck. I think
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 2: some folks in the government got partial paychecks, but the
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 2: air traffic controllers, many of them got zero dollars. Stop
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: and think about that for a little bit. Let's hope
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 2: that if they're married, that their spouses are not being
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 2: impacted and there's a little bit of money coming in.
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 2: There was this one father that was interviewed saying, and
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 2: I think it was Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy along with
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 2: the head of the controllers union, where talking about this
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 2: one father who was saying that his little girl is
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 2: sick and that her medication is pricey. This was at
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 2: the news conference a couple of days ago at La Guardia.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 2: And I don't know if you heard the sound bites
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 2: where Sean Duffy said, and I'm quoting here, and I'm
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 2: watching air traffic controllers go into work. I'm getting the stories.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 2: They're worried about paying for medicine, they're worried about paying
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 2: for food. I've got a message from a controller that
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: says I'm running out of money and if my daughter
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 2: doesn't get the medicine that she needs. She'll die. That's
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: the end these A lot of these air traffic controllers
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 2: are saying, I've got to find another job quickly. The
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 2: president of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association, guy of
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 2: the name of Nick Daniels, reminding us all of the
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 2: pressures that these controllers are facing, they have got to
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 2: be one hundred percent focused, one hundred percent of the time.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 2: In the meanwhile, the FAA is restricting the number of
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: flights landing and taking off at airports everywhere because of
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 2: the shortage of controllers to ensure safety. There's no way
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 2: to predict when and where delays might happen. Some of
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 2: the delays are, you know, thirty minutes an hour, some
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 2: are two or three hours, and some have had to
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 2: stop all flights temporarily. What are they doing circling around
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 2: for hours, burn and fuel because they can't touch down
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 2: because not enough air traffic controllers. This what an absolute cluster.
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 2: The longer the shutdown continues, the longer the in, the
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 2: more intense the pressure will be on Congress, which so
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: many of us are imploring to open the government. So far,
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: Democrats and Republicans have really shown little sign of reaching
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 2: a deal to fund the government. And now we've got
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: the filibuster being brought into it now and immense pressure
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 2: coming from Trump. What else is going on national headlines here?
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, this is great. World's largest food company Nestley
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 2: cutting sixteen thousand jobs. Why automation and technology aka robots?
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 2: Two Mississippi sheriffs and twelve officers charged in drug trafficking
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 2: bribery scheme. Wow. Jet Blue passengers hospitalized after emergency landing
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 2: in Florida. Did you hear about this? Credible? The New
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 2: York governor declaring a state of emergency because of snap
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 2: benefits being affected by the federal government shutdown on Thursday.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 2: They announced yesterday they're committing an additional sixty five million
