QUITE FRANKLY LIVE | The Accidental Reality Check https://t.co/gI6i7tUVe8 mr. Rogers to the European air conditioner crisis to an Astro forecast… A little bit of everything on this one!
So let me get this straight, I go to the grocery store and buy a pound of sliced ham in a plastic bag, a loaf of bread in a plastic bag, a gallon of milk in a plastic jug, a pack of napkins in plastic wrap, a store-made salad in a plastic 1 tub, a plastic bottle of mustard and ketchup, but they won’t give me a plastic bag to carry at home because the plastic bag is bad for the environment?

No Lurking! It's going to be a good show and your CLICKS will make it a GREAT one! @MeganFoxWriter is a Late addition to talk about the Lego Scandal and more! https://t.co/coYchBxIub
Friends, Friday and Saturday (5 & 6) is going to be the only event i'll be doing in 2026 w/ the baby arriving in the fall. If you're near the Tri-state area, I'd love for you to come out, and there's still a few tickets left. https://t.co/tw3NSOTbNt
VIP Experience gets you into the mixer at the studio on friday night, but the Saturday Main Event is going to be a block party feel. America 250; 20 Years of Broadcast for me; New Life; and enough prime rib to double the value of the ticket alone!
Sal the butcher is actually going to be butchering some of the prime rib on site as he grills and schmoozes with you! - hope to meet some of you in person.
Alberto Marchetti and Vinny Brusco in studio tonight. Updates on the psychologically conquered continent of Europe, and much more. Leave a question or comment through Voice Mail: https://t.co/SnnCykv4sD
Anyone who claims the lack of joy about the 250th is a function of a rough economy was not alive in 1976.
The country rocked in its 200th celebration and the economy was a FREAKING MESS.
There is this Gen Z misconception that the '70s and early '80s were some sort of economic golden age of readily available, well-paying jobs, low cost housing and an all around sense of prosperity.
WRONG.
Google "Stagflation." Google "gas lines." Google "mortgage interest rates in the 1980s."
Our economy today is a golden age by comparison, without exaggeration.
Yet somehow in 1976 we could gleefully celebrate our nation's birthday without Democrats turning it into a Howard Zinn-inspired anti-history hatefest.
The middle class is the most expensive place to live, and no one talks about it. Lower income households get assistance. The wealthy use tax strategies and loopholes. But the middle class pays full taxes, full tuition, full healthcare, full everything. So you work 50 hours a week just to stay in the same place and fund everyone’s life except yours.
I’ve been in the public eye most of my life and there isn’t any dirt you can find on me that hasn’t already been aired. Seems like the only thing people don’t know is my voter registration, so here go: I registered Republican in 2020 and never changed it. And I wasn’t going to change it now just to check a different box. This is a non-partisan race - there will be no D or R next to my name. As Mayor, I will not serve either party. I will work with anyone who wants to help the City. No labels necessary.
