- Speaking of outdated, we have an older vending machine in our break room and the buttons don't beep and Bill was going for a healthy snack and instead got twin beef sticks.

- The Utica OD did an article today that is similar to the fact check we did a couple of weeks ago. Tenney held a press conference and claims Hanna won't debate her because he's waging a war on Conservative women. We'll talk to her later.

- Bergdahl's return home will not be a big public parade due to security reasons. Bill compares the situation to the Showtime program "Homeland" again. Could the leak of the CIA operative be linked to the Bergdahl situation?

- Could the CIA had have leverage on the White House? We may never know what actually is going on with the Bergdahl situation.

6:20-6:35:

- A 15-Month-Old baby was found dead in Dolgeville. The child was found strapped in a car seat in the back of a car after almost a whole day.

- It will be interesting to see how the DA will handle this particular situation.

- We do not know the whole story, so we can't pass judgement. The situation we can discuss is the mindset of parents and having to focus on every little thing.

- Either way, we won't know what really happened, at least until maybe there is an autopsy.

6:35-6:45:

- Rangers lost last night, and the NBA Finals start tonight.

- The Rangers had many opportunities to win, but ultimately lost in overtime to the Kings in game 1.
