The weather is...nearly perfect.

The situation in the United States House of Representatives is...crazy.  We talk #NoBillNoBreak.

Tonya J. Powers from Fox News talks about Social Security, which is expected to run dry in 2034.  There will be a small, she says, "meager" hike in the benefits.

Late night hosts talk about the House of Representatives sit-in.

When the C-SPAN feed was discontinued, some members of Congress livestreamed the broadcast.

We continue our discussion about the Led Zeppelin "Stairway to Heaven" lawsuit, and Keeler plays a 400-year-old song that, yes sounds like the same song.

Our new intern, Angelo from Utica, joins us this morning.
