Sports on iHeartRadio where fans live it. 0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:35.159 This is America's truck and Network with Kevin Gordon. 0:00:36.880 --> 0:00:37.680 Well blame bah Board. 0:00:37.800 --> 0:00:39.840 Thanks for tuning in as we wind up our week 0:00:39.880 --> 0:00:44.040 here on America's Trucking Network. Start off quickly with a 0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:47.440 little bit of a weather report updating you on Tropical 0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:51.120 Storm Jerry, expected to be near the Northern Leeward Islands 0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:56.400 later tonight. Tropical storm warning issued for Barbuda. The way 0:00:56.440 --> 0:00:59.000 this is looking again, it doesn't look like it's going 0:00:59.080 --> 0:01:00.920 to be coming near the United States. 0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:01.360 You know. 0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:03.200 The path of this thing looked like it was going 0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:09.240 to head towards the you know, Caribbean, Cuba, Haiti, those 0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:12.959 areas there, Dominican Republic. As it started approaching that, it 0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:16.240 seems to be taking a northerly turn. It's going to 0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:19.360 go across some of the islands itself, but the way 0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:23.400 it's projected, it's going to take an actual easterly, almost 0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:25.560 like a right turn the way the pattern is going, 0:01:25.600 --> 0:01:28.880 and it's more and more apparent that that's going to happen. 0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:31.319 We may see a little bit of storm surge on 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:34.640 the east coast, and those people in North Carolina, low 0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:37.520 lying areas, South Carolina and so on may see some 0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:41.360 swells there, but not much, which is good news considering 0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:44.320 we have not had knock on Wood a direct hit 0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:47.880 and during this hurricane season. Yesterday morning, when we were 0:01:47.920 --> 0:01:50.840 on the air, it was started the news started to 0:01:50.920 --> 0:01:55.360 break about a possible signing of a peace treaty between 0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:59.240 Hamas and Israel. I didn't want to talk about it 0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:02.559 right away because so many times there has been well, 0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:05.680 it appears as though this is going to happen, and 0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:09.240 then it kind of fades away and somebody backs out 0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:12.760 at the last minute. But apparently there has been a 0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:17.239 deal struck between Israel and Hamas, broken by Donald Trump, 0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:23.160 I might add, which is interesting because once again something 0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:26.880 that people said couldn't be done is being done. The 0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:31.120 details need to be worked out now. Yesterday morning, when 0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:33.160 we were on the air, they talked about that the 0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:36.600 hostages could possibly be released as early as Monday. That 0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:39.240 has now been pushed up to as possibly as early 0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:40.560 as Saturday. 0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:43.880 And forty eight remaining hostages. 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:46.680 They believe are still alive, and there are some twenty 0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:49.560 that are possibly dead, and they're going to be returning 0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:52.359 those bodies as well. But the fact that they actually 0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:56.519 got to this point is absolutely astounding, given the fact 0:02:56.520 --> 0:03:00.000 that how entrenched Hamas is and a lot. 0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:00.200 Of the. 0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:06.560 Surrounding Arab countries signed off on this and said, we 0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:08.760 think this is the path forward, this is what we 0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:11.960 think Hamas ought to do. Now, I'm taking this with 0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:15.320 a grain of salt, because as we've seen in the past, 0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:17.960 every time there's been some sort of a peace tree, 0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:22.760 it's been when the well, the Palestinians or whoever has 0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:28.400 attacked Israel has gotten their butt kicked so severely that they. 0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:29.720 Say, all right, we want to have peace. 0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:32.680 We want to have peace, you know, we want to 0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:35.800 establish a piece of cord. And all that does is 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:38.440 the only thing that does is give them an opportunity 0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:41.720 to retool, re arm themselves so that they can come 0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:47.560 back and strike again. Hopefully this will annihilate or eliminate 0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:52.880 Hamas and keep them in check, and hopefully the other 0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:57.720 Arab countries will say enough is enough, let's stop this crap. 0:03:58.000 --> 0:03:58.720 But according to. 0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:02.560 What's come out, Israel Palestinian militant group Hamas signed an 0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:07.160 agreement on Thursday to cease file fire and free Israeli 0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:11.040 hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners in the first phase 0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:16.440 of the US Donald Trump. The first phase of US 0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:21.239 Donald Trump's attempt to end the war in Gaza under 0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:25.040 fighting under the let me see fighting will Under the agreement, 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:29.080 fighting will cease, Israel will partially withdraw from Gaza, and 0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:32.839 Hamas will free all remaining hostages. It captured the attack 0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:36.600 that precipitated the war back on October seventh, twenty twenty three. 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:42.640 Now again looking at this and seeing how this has 0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:49.719 unfolded and the way Hamas, the Palestinians, etc. Have treated 0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:54.320 their neighbor. You know, in the past, Israel has been 0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:56.480 willing to give up. I mean there was a time 0:04:56.600 --> 0:05:00.360 back in what was at the early two thousands, when 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:03.120 you had the West Bank, you had Gaza, and you 0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:07.760 had the Goal on Heights. Israel made an effort to 0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:11.840 give away ninety eight percent of the territory that the 0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:16.360 Palestinians wanted, and they turned the offer down. And every 0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:20.560 time there has been an opportunity for peace, the Palestinians 0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:25.080 have chosen war. They have chosen to continue attacks, continue 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:29.040 to fire rockets into Israel, and especially there after October 0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:32.400 the seventh, once they invaded, killed over twelve hundred and 0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:34.080 thirteen hundred Israelis. 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:37.600 Israel had had enough. I have heard the Israelis say. 0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:40.400 More often than not that they are willing to give 0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:44.680 up as much land as they can in exchange for peace. 0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:47.760 They are willing, and in this deal they're going to 0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:52.640 want the Palestinians are going to wind up with hundreds 0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:57.679 hundreds of prisoners return, people who've been captured during the war, 0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:01.680 people who are known terrorists, people who, if you had 0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:03.719 a trial, would probably. 0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:04.719 Get a death sentence. 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:08.240 These people are terrorists, but they're going to release them 0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:13.839 because they value their citizens' lives more than the Palestinians do. 0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:18.280 So in order to get their hostages in Israel, Israel's 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:22.000 hostages back, they will do anything they can. As a 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:27.839 matter of fact, You've got the holiest city in the world, Jerusalem. 0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:32.120 Jerusalem is the is the birthplace of Judaism or the 0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:36.680 home of Judaism, the home of Catholicism, and has been 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:41.240 one of the biggest homes for the Muslim world. Israel 0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:44.400 has been willing to split that city in half and 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:47.080 give half of it to the Arabs in their own 0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:50.880 country in order to obtain peace, and every time the 0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:55.839 olive branches turned out there, it's been slapped away. Hopefully 0:06:56.320 --> 0:07:00.799 there is something in this deal that keeps Hamasid, keeps 0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:05.680 them under wraps, keeps them out of power, and forces 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:10.280 the leadership into exile into other countries, and hopefully the 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:13.880 other Arab countries will say enough is enough. We've had 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:16.640 it with you people. We want peace in this area. 0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:19.280 So we'll see how this all turns out. In the 0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:22.880 matter of the government shutdown, it's amazing. We're now in 0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:25.640 the tenth day by the way of the government shutdown, 0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:28.760 and I would say for the average citizen, you probably 0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:32.680 don't even know that there is a government shutdown because 0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:35.240 some of the stuff that you do on a normal 0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:38.680 basis doesn't really rely on the federal government for any 0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:41.760 of this. Although that doesn't stop a lot of the 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:44.200 stories that come out as to well, what's going to 0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:47.400 be affected and how's this going to be treated and 0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:50.880 what numbers are we going to have problems as far 0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:52.720 as payment's going out. 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:54.720 Now, what I will say is that. 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:57.160 There are a lot of federal workers that will have 0:07:57.280 --> 0:08:00.680 been furloughed that because there's not a funding mechanism that 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:01.960 was put into place. 0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:03.880 Before the furlough or before. 0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:06.480 The shutdown, these people are not going to get paid. 0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:10.200 It outrages me that Congress is going to continue to 0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:13.880 get paid because they, quote unquote are considered essential workers. 0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:17.720 Which that's a story for another day, but the air 0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:21.520 traffic controllers are not considered well, they're considered essential. 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:22.840 I don't know. 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:27.040 Supposedly you've got the essential workers that get paid the 0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:31.000 non essential workers that don't get paid. Air traffic controllers 0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:34.319 must be some sort of a hybrid because they're they're 0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:37.679 essential workers, but they're not getting paid during this period 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:40.839 of time. And we're starting to see a lot of airlines, 0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:45.040 a lot of air traffic being tied up because people 0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:47.960 have been calling in sick. There's a high turn there's 0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:51.080 a high incidence of people calling in sick. Now, this 0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:53.480 bothers me from the standpoint that first of all, there 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:56.000 should be funding mechanism in there, that the air traffic 0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:59.880 controlers should be considered paid essential workers and they should 0:08:59.880 --> 0:09:02.480 not have to show up to work without getting a paycheck. 0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:04.720 The other thing is is that even though they're not 0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:08.160 getting a paycheck, I just can't imagine that my job 0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:14.200 is responsible for these air traffic safety in a particular airport. 0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:17.800 And I'm as a little protest. And we all know 0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:20.959 that this is one of those things where my wife 0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:23.400 always tells me that I'm in the process of a 0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:27.079 thought and I interrupt myself. But this is a situation 0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:31.240 where the people that are furloughed, they are going to 0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:34.520 get when they come back. Not only are they going 0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:37.040 to get paid, but they're going to get their back 0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:39.960 pay during the period that they were off. At this 0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:44.400 point in time, can collect unemployment insurance, and I would 0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:47.560 think that these air traffic controllers, if they're not getting paid, 0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:51.880 should be able to receive some compensation from unemployment. 0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:53.520 I'll finish my thought on this coming up. 0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:57.680 I'm Kevin Gordon America's Struck A Network seven hundred WLW. 0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:00.280 I need this the. 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:04.600 Breathing Reward on America's drug A Network on seven hundred WLW. 0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:08.560 NASCAR President Steve O'Donnell was a special guest on Dirty 0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:11.679 Moe Media podcast with dyl Earnhardt Jr. To announce it 0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:14.960 some tracks coming up in twenty twenty six cars will 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:17.800 have the seven hundred and fifty horse power and an 0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:20.640 offseason test at North Wilkesboro is played. 0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:23.400 So why seven fifty one out eight hundred one out 0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:26.160 of thousand? So if you look at where we are today, 0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:30.680 where we can go without completely changing over the industry, 0:10:30.840 --> 0:10:32.760 and so whatever you do, you want to make sure 0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:35.520 that if you're going to change horsepower within the car, 0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:37.319 you got to match it up with the arrow. You 0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:39.319 got to match it up, and you're breaking all these 0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:40.640 different things come into play. 0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:41.600 We hear the fans. 0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:45.360 Also, o'donna will asked about the current charter lawsuit against 0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:49.319 NASCAR by twenty three eleven Racing and Front Row Motorsports. 0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:52.800 All I can say is when you get sued for 0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:57.440 something and you want a settlement with things that have 0:10:57.559 --> 0:11:00.440 nothing to do with what you sued for, it's hard 0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:03.520 to make sense of that. So that's the struggle right now. 0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:06.840 And I can tell you that listen, willing able, nobody 0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:10.000 wants to go to court from the NASCAR side, we 0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:12.520 want to concentrate on racing, and that's all I can say. 0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:15.400 Looking ahead to the racing weekend, Las Vegas has the 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:19.320 NASCAR Spotlight Playoffs continue in the Infinity Series.

John for Maine. 0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:09.439 After paying my bills, I can buy groceries. It's sad 0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:14.680 to say food comes last. Alice from Oregon. I thought 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:18.160 pantries were for less fortunate people, but anybody could be 0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:22.360 less fortunate in a day or even a second. Claire 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:26.720 from Virginia. The Feeding America network of food banks helps 0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:30.720 provide over six billion meals to people in need each year. 0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:34.480 No one should have to worry where their next meal 0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:35.240 will come from. 0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:38.960 Together we can end hunger. 0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:42.480 Learn more at Feeding America dot org. 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:51.040 You're one stop for advertising called eight four four eight 0:13:51.120 --> 0:13:52.240 four four iHeart. 0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:58.679 I'm Kevin Bran and Americastruck a network seven hundred WLW 0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:01.679 I was talking about out the government shutdown and how 0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:04.360 that's going to affect different workers and so on, and 0:14:04.400 --> 0:14:07.040 I kept interrupting myself with a different thought. I'd start 0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:09.720 a sentence and then interrupt myself and go off on 0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:12.559 a tangent. But the bottom line is is that one 0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:15.959 of the areas that is extremely important is air traffic controllers. 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:19.440 The fact that they are considered essential workers and have 0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:21.200 to show up for work, but they're not going to 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:24.600 get paid. While we've got Congress that never does anything, 0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:27.520 but they're considered an essential worker and they do get paid. 0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:32.240 That I don't understand when during the government shutdown, Congress. 0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:32.960 Shouldn't get paid either. 0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:35.640 Maybe that would put them back to work a lot sooner, 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:39.600 and maybe they'd be a little bit more interested in compromise, 0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:43.600 in coming up with some sort of an agreement to 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:47.120 actually pass a budget and to balance the budget at 0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:47.880 some point in time. 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:49.600 But that's the story for another day. 0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:54.080 But I can't imagine because we're hearing there's situations where 0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:59.600 air traffic controllers are calling in sick. It's disrupting a 0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:04.200 lot of the flights around the country. It's backing things up, delays, cancelations, 0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:04.680 and so on. 0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:07.440 I understand not wanting. 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:09.200 You know, if you're not getting paid, then you know 0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:11.680 how happy you're going to be to go to work. 0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:15.960 But I can't imagine a situation where my job is 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:19.040 to be an air traffic controller where I have hundreds 0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:22.720 of people, thousands of people per day whose lives depend 0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:26.800 on me watching the radar screen and getting them off 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:31.120 the ground safely and return to the ground safely, and 0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:34.400 the fact that somebody would call in sick as kind 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:37.960 of a protest because I'm not getting paid. So if 0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:40.760 I'm not getting paid, I don't care about my job. 0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:44.920 I don't know that I could rest easy or feel 0:15:44.960 --> 0:15:48.880 comfortable knowing that the possibility of my not being there 0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:53.200 could actually lead to an air crash or a plane crashing, 0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:56.960 something along those lines, two planes colliding or whatever. I 0:15:57.000 --> 0:15:59.240 just don't know how they do that and how they 0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:02.160 rationalize in their head they are going to get their 0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:05.440 pay when they come back. They're not losing anything. The 0:16:05.480 --> 0:16:08.200 way unemployment is set up, it's set up that if 0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:11.480 you're not getting a paycheck, if you're not getting cash 0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:15.360 that week, you can file for unemployment. So even though 0:16:15.400 --> 0:16:19.040 these guys are actually these people air traffic controllers are 0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:22.280 on the job, they're not getting paid, so they would 0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:26.480 qualify for unemployment insurance. It's not matching their salary, but 0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:29.760 it's something. It's not like they're going to not get anything. 0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:32.960 So that whole thing's going on. But when we see 0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:35.120 these stories about well, what's going to be affected? What's 0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:37.880 not going to be affected? And I love this headline 0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:39.880 because when I read it, you know, when you pull 0:16:39.960 --> 0:16:43.640 up a story, and especially on your phone, sometimes it'll 0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:46.120 only have a certain number of words and then there'll 0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:48.080 be that dot dot dot dot dot at the end 0:16:48.240 --> 0:16:50.800 that means there's something more to it. Now, could you 0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:54.920 have stretched this headline out far enough to make it 0:16:55.000 --> 0:16:57.080 seem like it's something that it's not? 0:16:57.440 --> 0:17:00.640 Here is the headline government shut down. 0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:05.760 Could delay Yearlysocial securitypayment dot dot dot. If you'd see 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:07.919 that on your phone, what's what would to be missing 0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:12.240 is announcement. The whole headline is government shutdown could delay 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:17.480 yearly Social Security payment announcement. So that's a very long headline, 0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:20.680 but it puts in your head that the shutdown could 0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:24.439 delay Social Security checks. And all this is saying is 0:17:24.480 --> 0:17:27.159 that one they determine, you know, every year that the 0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:30.040 Social Security. You know, when somebody's on Social Security. Every 0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:31.879 year they have what's a COLA. It's a cost of 0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:36.439 living index, cost of living allowance. So they calculate that 0:17:36.880 --> 0:17:40.080 during the year and usually in the third quarter by 0:17:40.160 --> 0:17:43.919 mid October thereabouts, whatever the inflation rate is at that 0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:47.040 point in time, that's what the number is in terms 0:17:47.040 --> 0:17:49.520 of what the cost the increase would be. And they 0:17:49.520 --> 0:17:51.560 make this out that this is a big deal, that 0:17:51.640 --> 0:17:53.760 the fact that this is being delayed is going to 0:17:53.880 --> 0:17:57.240 result going to halt this and going to delay when 0:17:57.280 --> 0:18:00.679 that goes into effect. All right, again, situation where the 0:18:00.720 --> 0:18:03.639 curtain gets pulled back on our federal government gets pulled 0:18:03.680 --> 0:18:06.760 back on how things are done. I mean, are they 0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:10.960 sitting there at their desk with just a pencil and 0:18:11.040 --> 0:18:14.119 an adding machine and then that's what they're doing, and 0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:16.520 then that's got to go over to this person, and 0:18:16.560 --> 0:18:18.720 then they've got to check the math, and then that's 0:18:18.720 --> 0:18:20.680 got to go to a supervisor and they have to 0:18:20.800 --> 0:18:22.640 check the math. Then it's got to go to somebody 0:18:22.680 --> 0:18:24.280 else before it's actually implemented. 0:18:24.600 --> 0:18:26.600 They don't have any computers that would do this. 0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:29.680 I'm sure you've seen when you make a credit card payment, 0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:32.080 I always find it interesting that when you make a 0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:35.320 credit card payment, you do that online and the money 0:18:35.359 --> 0:18:38.880 almost immediately comes out of your account, but the balance 0:18:39.000 --> 0:18:41.239 of when you've paid that doesn't get applied to your 0:18:41.280 --> 0:18:44.639 account until like the next day, comes out of my 0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:47.679 account real quick, but they don't credit it to my 0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:52.040 account with the utility or the subscription service, you know, 0:18:52.359 --> 0:18:55.240 the cable service or something like that. And what's interesting 0:18:55.320 --> 0:18:58.640 too is that on a credit card payment with the 0:18:58.640 --> 0:19:02.000 same bank, make the payment, and you can see the 0:19:02.040 --> 0:19:05.000 money coming out of your account, but not applied to 0:19:05.040 --> 0:19:07.320 the credit card which is sitting right next to it. 0:19:07.520 --> 0:19:11.080 That generally takes about eight hours or so to show up. 0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:14.000 But again, in the era of computers, I mean, we've 0:19:14.040 --> 0:19:19.679 had computers around since probably the early seventies, and now 0:19:19.800 --> 0:19:22.520 it seems like the government can't just flip a switch 0:19:22.640 --> 0:19:25.840 adjust this and it goes into the system. Is there 0:19:25.840 --> 0:19:29.080 some sort of major programming thing that has to be 0:19:29.160 --> 0:19:30.240 done anyway? 0:19:30.600 --> 0:19:31.960 Talking about the particular story. 0:19:32.119 --> 0:19:35.480 As the government shut down reaches day ten today, the 0:19:35.520 --> 0:19:38.520 agency that produces economic data may have to delay the 0:19:38.560 --> 0:19:42.399 release of its annual cost Living adjustment, or known as COLA, 0:19:42.560 --> 0:19:45.800 planned for the next Social Security payments generally. Solid Security 0:19:45.800 --> 0:19:51.080 Administration SSA released its COLA on the upcoming for the 0:19:51.160 --> 0:19:54.800 upcoming years sometime in mid October after it calculates the 0:19:54.800 --> 0:19:58.880 Consumer Price Index for urban wage earners measure of inflation 0:19:59.040 --> 0:20:02.240 for July au TI in September. Last year's announcement by 0:20:02.359 --> 0:20:05.720 SSA was on October the tenth for the twenty twenty 0:20:05.720 --> 0:20:10.679 five payments. However, Department of Labor said a shutdown contingency 0:20:10.720 --> 0:20:15.680 plan released indicates that this will be suspending all their operations. 0:20:15.920 --> 0:20:18.600 Any of the information, the numbers that they're going to 0:20:18.600 --> 0:20:21.639 be released are all on hold until they come back open. 0:20:22.359 --> 0:20:25.680 There is a delay in the CPI release during October 0:20:25.720 --> 0:20:28.240 of each year, might have an impact on the cost 0:20:28.320 --> 0:20:31.560 of living adjustments announced by the Social Security Administration. Labor 0:20:31.600 --> 0:20:34.720 Department also noted in their plan is this some sort 0:20:34.760 --> 0:20:36.959 of a scare tactic where they want to kind of 0:20:37.000 --> 0:20:39.000 get the idea that built well, you know, you're not 0:20:39.040 --> 0:20:40.639 going to get that pay raise, You're not going to 0:20:40.640 --> 0:20:42.119 get this, You're not going to get that as far 0:20:42.160 --> 0:20:44.760 as the Social Security check is concerned, and kind of 0:20:45.000 --> 0:20:47.800 laying the lines are not allowed, you know, not putting 0:20:47.800 --> 0:20:50.560 to rest that you know, you have to look into 0:20:50.600 --> 0:20:53.600 the story that no, that SOCI security checks will go out, 0:20:53.880 --> 0:20:56.960 but the adjustment may not be done. But again, if 0:20:57.000 --> 0:21:00.320 they do this in October, if the government is shown, 0:21:00.359 --> 0:21:03.040 I mean the longest government shutdown was like thirty days. 0:21:03.080 --> 0:21:06.960 So if it began on October, the first October thirty first, 0:21:07.119 --> 0:21:10.800 they got plenty of time for September, for November December 0:21:11.080 --> 0:21:12.880 to get this done for the checks to go out 0:21:12.880 --> 0:21:15.560 in January. I see no reason that this couldn't be 0:21:15.640 --> 0:21:17.320 done and done quickly. 0:21:17.760 --> 0:21:20.879 Again. But again, you know we're talking about the federal government, 0:21:20.920 --> 0:21:22.320 and we know how slowly they work. 0:21:22.400 --> 0:21:24.800 But I think it's just a scare tactic that they 0:21:24.840 --> 0:21:28.040 put out there and indicate that well, because of the 0:21:28.040 --> 0:21:31.680 government shutdown, these these adjustments may be delayed. Coming up 0:21:31.880 --> 0:21:35.960 normally on Thursday, we usually have during the Thursday, during 0:21:35.960 --> 0:21:39.320 the day they would have the initial jobless claims. We 0:21:39.440 --> 0:21:41.960 have those, but it's not from the federal government and 0:21:42.000 --> 0:21:44.280 it's probably a little bit more accurate than that we 0:21:44.359 --> 0:21:46.960 were talking about that coming up. I'm Kevin Gordon, America's 0:21:47.000 --> 0:21:52.440 truck in Network seven hundred WLW News Traffic and Weather 0:21:53.000 --> 0:21:58.159 News Radio seven hundred W l W Cincinnati. 0:21:59.240 --> 0:22:03.080 Public safety and police reforms marked the sharpest exchange of 0:22:03.119 --> 0:22:07.200 the night at Cincinnati's mayoral debate with your twelve thirty report, 0:22:07.280 --> 0:22:11.680 I'm Travis Laird breaking now mayor. Aftab Piaval and Challenger 0:22:11.760 --> 0:22:15.000 Corey Bowman went back and forth over the city's collaborative Agreement, 0:22:15.240 --> 0:22:18.399 the Police reporm Plan created after the two thousand and 0:22:18.400 --> 0:22:19.320 one unrest. 0:22:19.760 --> 0:22:22.760 When someone moves here four years ago has no idea 0:22:22.840 --> 0:22:26.199 about the history of this city and starts accusing the 0:22:26.240 --> 0:22:29.879 collaborative Agreement of making us less safe. I could not 0:22:30.520 --> 0:22:31.880 disagree more strongly. 0:22:32.200 --> 0:22:34.840 Pear of All said he's committed to upholding the agreement. 0:22:34.920 --> 0:22:38.120
