Speaker F [00:05:11]:
Here is the news on the Radio Safety Show.
Speaker I [00:05:14]:
From Feature Story News in New Delhi, I'm Neha Punia. US President Donald Trump has delivered his closing election message ahead of Tuesday's midterms, an election in which polls suggest his Republican Party could lose control of one or both chambers of Congress. The president warned against giving Democrats control of Congress, calling them, quote, a crazy bunch of people who hate America. Multiple surveys show roughly two-thirds of Americans disapprove of the president's performance with the cost of living, driven higher by the war with Iran dominating voter concerns. Kate Fisher has more.
Speaker J [00:05:48]:
The president's speech comes as Republicans face the prospect of losing control of Congress. Democrats need a net gain of just 4 seats to take the House, where they're strongly positioned, while a number of closely contested Senate races have put the Republican majority there under pressure. Now, Mr. Trump's focus on remaking the White House and Washington, D.C. has also become a campaign issue. Democrats have seized on his renovation projects, portraying them as a distraction from the economic concerns weighing on most American households. The speech caps a month-long campaign blitz that's taken Donald Trump to around 20 states, many of them traditionally Republican strongholds, as he fight to stave off Republican losses by asking voters to pretend that he is on the ballot. But polls suggest Republicans could lose one or both chambers of Congress.
Speaker I [00:06:46]:
Britain's King Charles will speak to Commonwealth leaders with unflinching honesty and sincere sorrow about the impact of the transatlantic slave trade. That's according to a Buckingham Palace spokesperson as the King and Britain's Prime Minister Andy Burnham attend the annual Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting. But at least for now, the King's The King is expected to steer clear of an official apology. Stuart Smith has more.
Speaker K [00:07:08]:
While the UK government has expressed sorrow and regret for its part in the slave trade, it's never made a formal apology. The palace says the King can therefore not make such an apology either, as it's a matter of government policy. Historically, London's been concerned a formal apology could be used as legal leverage to demand financial reparations. This year's meeting is being held in Antigua and Barbuda, whose Prime Minister Gaston Browne has demanded his country, and other nations whose people suffered from slavery, receive restitution.
Speaker I [00:07:40]:
Cyclone Murasu has made landfall along India's eastern coast, with thousands evacuated ahead of its arrival. It's the second weather disturbance to have hit the area in a week, as Ishaan Garg is reporting.
Speaker L [00:07:52]:
Cyclone Murasu has hit India's eastern coast, bringing torrential rain and wind gusts up to 120 kilometers per hour. have warned of coastal flooding with a storm surge. Some districts have also closed schools, and disaster response teams remain on standby.
Speaker G [00:08:10]:
From bureaus worldwide, this is FSN.
Speaker M [00:08:12]:
With FSN Spotlight, I'm Simon Marks. Today, what are the differences between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his rival, former army chief Gadi Eisenkot, whose Yeshar party placed a very close second to Netanyahu's Likud in last week's election? Dalia Sheindlin is one of Israel's leading political analysts and pollsters. She says as coalition While the bargaining continues, there are subtle differences in approach between the 2 men towards the rights of Palestinians, and that Netanyahu's better-than-expected performance last week remains worthy of note.
Speaker A [00:08:45]:
Obviously, he did a little better than, than, you know, the polls had predicted.
Speaker N [00:08:48]:
The rest of the Israelis who didn't vote for the government are terrified at the idea of being shut out of the world that they want to be part of, and they see themselves as a— with more global— with a more globalist orientation. I would add a layer to the observation that they don't look that different right now, because it's true that Eisenkot's only discussion of that issue looks an awful lot like Netanyahu in the sense of not rushing, you know, to get to any sort of political solution. You know, okay, so he doesn't totally want to annex Gaza, but he would commit to the Trump plan, which Netanyahu at one point committed to and then didn't really commit to. It's very easy to see why they don't look that different. But that misses the fact that Netanyahu's government has taken such extreme positions that it's really— the issue is that the range of options in Israel has shifted into a more extreme direction.
Speaker M [00:09:34]:
It could be weeks before a government is formed, and Prime Minister Netanyahu will remain in charge at least until then. With FSN Spotlight, I'm Simon Marks.
Speaker I [00:09:43]:
The main news again: Democrats and Republicans have made final appeals to voters ahead of Tuesday's midterm elections. U.S. President Donald Trump using final election speech to warn against giving Democrats control of Congress, calling them a crazy bunch of people who hate America. The Supreme Court also dismissing a request by the Trump administration to intervene and block vote counting from alleged non-US citizens in California. And that is the latest feature story news. Neha Punia reporting.

Speaker F [00:14:15]:
This show is almost as enjoyable as hearing the sound of the toilet flush. Rated R safety show on Safety FM.
Speaker G [00:14:23]:
Uh, I think he did say, um, almost, not exactly. So maybe that's, uh, the way to look at it as we are talking. So let's go ahead and get into some of the stuff that we have going on today, because why would we not go ahead and do that? Oh, by the way, 14 minutes past the top of the hour. I don't want the program director getting pissed off at me. So there you go. Yeah. So let's get into it because there's a lot of stuff going on as we are talking. Former New York Mets pitcher Jerry Kuzman has died at the age of 83. Kuzman was one of the, the stars of 1969 Miracle Mets, helping the team pull off the stunning World Series upset over the heavily favored Baltimore Orioles. He won both of his starts, his starts in the World Series, including a complete game victory. And clinching Game 5. He also helped the Mets reach the World Series again in 1973. Kuzma spent 12 seasons in New York and then went to play for the Minnesota Twins, Chicago White Sox, and the Philadelphia Phillies. Over his 19-year Major League career, he won 222 games, struck out 2,556 batters, and posted an ERA of 3.36. He still has the winningest left-handed pitcher in Mets history. The team retired the number back in 2021 that he— is a member of the Mets Hall of Fame. So there you go. What do you think? What do you think? I know, terrible to hear of the passing, but man, a lot of accolades there of what he did in baseball, if you really think about it.
Speaker A [00:16:02]:
Oh my God. Oh my God.
Speaker G [00:16:07]:
So there you go. Okay, so the 20-year-old co-pilot of the Learjet that crashed near West Palm Beach, killing all 9 members aboard, has been identified as Nathalia Gadella. Uh, air traffic control audio captured the terrifying final moments, including the male pilots praying the Lord's Prayer as the plane rapidly descended. Nathalia reported that the aircraft was banking at a 60-degree angle before screaming, we're out of time! And Investigators are examining severe weather and possible aviation phenomenon coffin corner, which can make an aircraft dangerously difficult to control at high altitudes. The cause remains under investigation. Now listen, I'm gonna tell you, it's kind of interesting if you go take a look at this story, if you go take a look at what's out there, if you go take a look at, uh, where it made impact on the road, if you take a look at the debris that was left. And, uh, what's going on with the black box? I'm just saying it's interesting. I didn't say anything else. You might have to do your own research on taking a look around and what it has to offer. And I didn't give you the WTF there, uh, just in case, but maybe I should.
Speaker R [00:17:22]:
WTF, welcome to Florida.
Speaker G [00:17:25]:
The victims of Sunday's devastating private jet crash at West Palm Beach, Florida have been identified. Among 7 passengers killed were tech entrepreneur Adam Robinson, 45, his wife Helen Sharp, 40, their 2 children ages 4 and 2, their nanny, and another couple, Rachel Reed and Charmaine Fear. The family was traveling from Austin, Texas to the Bahamas when the Learjet 60 plunged into the road at an intersection that exploded into a massive fireball. Heartbroken relatives described the couple as devoted parents and said that their children were the light of their lives. So there you go. What do you think? I am just asking because, hey, it's kind of a— it's kind of a weird thing. Just everything that's going on, it's kind of strange times. Duh. I'm just saying, don't take it the wrong way. We're just having a conversation here because I don't know where to go with some of this stuff. It looks a little odd in regards of what we're talking about. I mean, let's just not lie here. and say something else. So there you go. Okay, take a listen to this real quick. President Trump says that he's been willing to issue preemptive pardons to members of his administration and political allies if Democrats take control of Congress and pursue investigation or prosecution. In an interview with the New York Post, Trump said, I, I would— excuse me— I would if I needed to, pointing to President Biden's preemptive pardons before leaving office. Democrats have discussed holding Trump's administration officials accountable, and some calling for prosecution. Trump also expressed concerns about the potential efforts to target allies like Elon Musk. However, presidential pardons only cover federal crimes, not state prosecutions or civil lawsuits. So there you go. It's definitely going to be some interesting times depending on how the outcomes of the midterms occur. I'm just saying, I don't know what to expect this evening. I mean, I expect there should be some elections. I expect some people to be pissed off. I expect some people to be happy. And then I kind of look at it and go, I don't know where we're gonna go from there. I mean, of course hindsight is always 20/20, but we'll take a look and see, hey, what exactly is going on? But this is the kind of just the weird time that we get into with everything when it comes to election time. But I kind of feel like we just live in there. Yes, it's a feelings moment. So there you go. Anyways, prosecutors plan to, uh, try Lindsay Clancy, who is accused of strangling her 3 young children in 2023. Her first trial ended in a hung jury in September. Clancy's defense argues that she was suffering from postpartum psychosis and is asking the judge to dismiss the charges. The judge is expected to address several defense motions at a hearing on November the 16th. If this is going to be any kind of reference to how the trial went, I'm going to assume we're going to have a lot of attention here in regards to the things that are going on. What do you think? I'm just asking the question to ask because it's going to get strange. Let's just not lie. A lot of people are going to have opinions on this because that's kind of the world that we live in, and there's nothing wrong with that. Let's just make sure. And let's just kind of make sure that we say the other portion. This is the portion that most people do not love. Just because it has— you have an opinion doesn't mean that it's right or that it's wrong. It's your opinion. That's the great thing about it. It's an opinion. You don't have to agree with anybody. You don't have to disagree with anybody. It's your opinion. That's the great thing about opinions. But we'll leave it at that. Okay, let's continue talking. Are you a big NFL person? Because if you are, you might be interested in the following. Troy Aikman's future with ESPN is reportedly in jeopardy as a bitter feud with longtime broadcast partner Joe Buck threatens to blow up their 25-year relationship. According to The Athletic, there is a reported 5% chance that Aikman won't be part of ESPN's first-ever Super Bowl broadcast next year. The tension reportedly started when Aikman discovered Buck had secretly signed a 6-year, $108 million contract extension with ESPN without telling him. Sources say that Buck eventually confronted Aikman after weeks of cold behavior, with Aikman reportedly accusing him of being stabbed in the back. Buck's future appears secure, but Aikman's contract negotiations have stalled. And he has recently admitted that he's worried that his broadcasting career at ESPN could be coming to an end. Neither man has publicly addressed the feud. So there you go. So what do you think? Let me, let me kind of ask you that question because that's going to be an interesting one. You have somebody you've been working with. They all of a sudden decide that they are going to do a contract extension. Let's start off with the important question first, because that's going to be the important one. Should they tell you if they're extending a contract? I'm just asking, should they tell you? And if yes, why? And if no, why? I'm just curious because here's what this guy just did. Joe Buck, he signed for $18 million a year. For 6 years, right? That's what the math equates to. And that's what he did. And he didn't tell his partner for almost 25 years that that's what he was doing. Now, do you look at it as— remember, they're 2 independent entities. It's not like they were signed as a duo, just handed up that way. Do you look at it from the standpoint that They should have had a conversation and said, hey, we're going to hold out. Because here's what always ends up happening in these ordeals is that if you don't have the discussion and somebody signs, the other one's always going to be offended. But I've also seen scenarios where it's worked out this way, where somebody will say, I'm going to hold until they're able to do X, Y, and Z for both of us. And then somebody folds ahead of time and goes, ah, no, I signed because I was getting concerned. So that's some stuff to think about. So what do you think here? Did Joe Buck do the right thing or did Joe Buck do the wrong thing? Who knows, right? Who knows?
Speaker A [00:23:47]:
More sarcasm than a Mortal Kombat beatdown. Rated R safety show.
Speaker G [00:23:52]:
Okay. A Utah teenager who vanished at age 15 has been found safe in Oregon after more than 500 days missing. Kylie Arellano, Now 17, was located Sunday, and a 39-year-old man identified as Adam Harmel was taken into custody. Investigators believe that the 2 have met on Snapchat before she disappeared. The FBI and local authorities assisted in the search. The investigation is ongoing and potential charges have not been announced. So there you go, a lot of stuff going on right there. What do you think? I'm just asking. So there you go. Take a listen to this one real quick as well. A 25-year-old Walmart employee was shot and killed on Monday morning inside of Hammond, Indiana. Police say that the 18-year-old suspect knew the woman and the two had, uh, been, um, talking before an argument turned physical. The suspect allegedly grabbed a gun and shot her multiple times. An off-duty police officer detained him and he reportedly put down the weapon and waited for officers Police say that there is no ongoing threat to the public. That's weird. I mean, that's just straight weird. There's no other way to put it. As we are talking, okay, I'm going to talk about 2 other ones that we would normally do in other sections in hour 2 and 3, but I think that this might be important to, to have the discussion here. So let's do this. A production of Batman Part 2, or The Batman Part 2, reportedly shut down after an unnamed cast member was hit and run over by the Batmobile during an action sequence in October. According to The Sun, the person was hospitalized but has since been released and is recovering at home. It's the latest headache for Robert Pattinson's sequel, which has already been delayed multiple times. Director Matt Reeves also reportedly stepped away temporarily for personal reasons, with Steven Soderbergh helping oversee production during his absence. Filming has since resumed in England, and the movie is currently scheduled to hit theaters on February 18th. of 2028. Not '27, '28. At this rate, Batman might need to trade in the Batmobile for an Uber, is what it sounds like. All jokes aside, of course. What else do we have? Oh, let's give you this one. Russell Brand's defense attorney is making his final push to convince the jury that the comedian is innocent of multiple rape and sexual assault charges. During closing arguments, attorneys Ian Winter argued that there is no evidence that Brand believed that he was raping anyone, insisting that he thought that the sexual encounter was consensual. Brand has pleaded not guilty to 3 counts of rape, 3 counts of sexual assault, and 1 count of attempted indecent assault involving alleged incidents between 1999 and 2009. His lawyer also attacked a 2023 Channel 4 documentary featuring women who accused Brand of sexual misconduct, arguing that the program influences the witnesses and unfairly encourages people to come forward. Prosecutors countered that the defense was relying on half-truths and twisted evidence. Brand's attorneys urged jurors to ignore his client's controversial lifestyle and focus strictly on the evidence. After 3 weeks of testimony, the case is now in the jury's hands as they consider whether the prosecutors have proven their charges. So what do you think here? I'm just asking because it gets kind of weird, and I'm just throwing this out here. Um, believe me, I am not taking deep dives into the case, but when you have 6 that are coming your way that are saying almost similar— 3, 3 saying one thing, 3 saying another, and well, we can even throw in a 7th— is what it sounds like. Kind of gets a little eerie. Like, listen, don't, don't hold me to what I'm saying here. In regards of how it sounds, but just think about what's going on. It's kind of a strange thing. I know, I know, I got it.
Speaker F [00:27:58]:
We at Safety FM are not responsible for what this idiot behind the microphone is saying. He is trying to be entertaining. Welcome to our safety show.
Speaker G [00:28:08]:
I mean, I'm just saying, I am just saying, just saying. So there you go. What? There you go. It's just a weird time. I don't know. And then it like the cases in a different country. It's it's just weird. It's just weird. Let's continue talking about some other stories because I'm sure I have tons of them that I could dig up. But you know, sometimes I start digging for some of this stuff and I go, oh, should we use it now or should we use it for Freeform Friday? I know, kind of gets weird. But let's just talk about it. Anyway, talk about selling seller's remorse. A painting by Russian artist Walisky Kandinsky. Kandinsky that, um, the Garningham Museum sold for roughly $62,000 back in 1964 is expected to bring in as much as $80 million. The painting was titled Benote Ecken and was one of the— one about the— one of, of about 50 Kandinsky's works that the museum sold to make room for other artwork painted in 1922-23 era. The color geometric abstract piece will go on for auction at Christie's in New York on November 17th, with an estimated value of $60 to $80 million. A buyer has already guaranteed more than the artist's previous auction record of $44.8 million, making the new record virtually certain. So essentially, Cunningham sold an $80 million painting for $62,000. That's one museum donation they probably wish they, uh, would have, uh, stuck with, with a 60-year return policy. I'm just saying. So there you go. Let's continue talking about some other stuff. Firefighters in Austin, Texas recently answered an unusual 911 call after a neighbor spotted a raccoon in a high tree with a— with its head stuck inside of a hollow. A firefighter climbed a ladder and used the jaws of life normally used to free people in trapped cars to carefully, uh, widen the opening and allow the raccoon to pull its head out. The Austin Firefighters Association praised the crew for thinking outside of the box and reminding everyone that their job involves more than fighting fires. Fortunately, the furry little troublemaker was freed. Apparently, the raccoon got himself into some real tree-tremendous predicament and needed the jaws of life to get out of it. So there you go, some stuff to think about. Duh. That is for sure. Okay, so you ready for this? Woo! This is not a— this is not a high stakes, uh, to reference about Pennsylvania. But don't take it the wrong way as I say this because we're just talking here. So it's nothing, nothing bad being said. It's just something that we are addressing. So it's okay. We're just gonna have a, a slight convo. But a 60-year-old man in Pennsylvania has officially watched more movies in theaters in one year than, uh, about anybody on the planet. Glenwood Hoskin Jr. earned the Guinness World Record after attending 1,207 movie screenings in 12 months, averaging more than, uh, averaging more than 3 movies a day. He started the challenge in April of 2024, carefully planning his daily schedule to squeeze as many films as possible, sometimes going from early morning until midnight. He easily crushed the previous record, 777, set by Zachariah Swoop Hoskins says that he genuinely enjoyed the experience and surprised by how much he liked some films, including the wild robot in Deadpool and Wolverine. He even planned, uh, he even planned his attempt to— his attempt around avoiding winter driving. That's 1,207 movies, folks. At this point, the theater should just give him a key, a parking space, and a job reviewing— of reviewing the popcorn is definitely what it sounds like. What do you think here? I mean, I look at it from the standpoint that that gets extremely interesting. It also gets to the point where it's like, wow, how were you able to devote this much time into doing this? Because that takes a lot of time. And did you have one of those, uh, movie tickets where you just pay like a one-time a month fee and then that's it, opposed to having to go back and forth several times? Because if you had to go back and forth several times, That's not gonna be fun whatsoever. So there you go, just my thought there. Anyways, 32 minutes past the top of the hour. I think it is time for us to do that thing that we normally do around now that we call our main story. So if you're good with it, I am definitely good with it, and I think we should do it because why would we not want to? No, like seriously, main story time is the time of what we get to do.
Speaker F [00:32:54]:
Right now, here is our main story on the Rated R Safety Show.
Speaker G [00:32:59]:
Yep, some main story time, some things to talk about, some things to agree with, some things to disagree with, and that's just what we're gonna do this morning. So I have to ask you, because this becomes something that I always find innovative. I also find interesting. I also find where maybe conversations should be had more and more. But have you ever worked in an organization where nobody wants to change anything? Where nobody wants to do anything? They're just like, hey, we've done this always like this. So This is how we're going to do it. You know what I'm talking about? I mean, I'm pretty sure you're familiar with it. All organizations at some point have some weirdness that occur that one's not sure what exactly is going on. And you go, okay, maybe this makes sense to do. Maybe it doesn't make sense to do. And you just kind of go from there. So let's talk about this thing that you've probably heard the term for. And let's take a deeper dive. Have you ever heard the term agent of change? Yes. Agent of change or change agent. This is normally referred to as a person, group, or organization that promotes, facilitates, and helps guide transformation within a workplace, community, or society. Are you familiar with that term? I'm only asking because here's what happens. Most of the times, organizations that don't want to change anything all of a sudden have this weird conundrum that all of a sudden overnight, they want to change everything that's possible within the organization. Normally, kind of what puts these things on fire in regards of wanting to do the change— there is a contract that you're trying to acquire that requires X. There is a catastrophic event that occurs that something has to be reported back. There is loss in profits. Or you're making too much money and you're not sure how exactly this is all funneling in and you're worried about the next year. These are normally what ends up taking place when you're talking about agents of change or change agents. Now, here's where it gets interesting. Normally when you get the agent of change, This person comes in and they are going to assist you in regards of changing the organization. Now, let's talk about the normally the 2 scenarios that take place. You either have an external consultant that comes in and starts talking about what exactly should take place, giving ideas. Giving what they've done at other places, and then they will kind of give you, you know, their Fortune 500 companies or their Fortune 100 companies or their Fortune 10 companies in regards of what they were able to do with them. That's normally how that goes. Now keep in mind though that normally when you have these agents of change walk through your building, they are giving you ideas based on assessments that they're doing in real time. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Depending on how you have them locked in. It could be a one-day walkthrough. It could be a periodic timetable in regards of how things happen, or it can be where this person is giving you consulting services as there is a person that is championing what exactly needs to change inside of your organization. That's number one. That one can get kind of expensive. Let's be realistic, because then all of a sudden you have this consultant that's talking to other people inside of your organization, and there's this kind of this one go-to person where that consultant normally communicates back and forth in regards to what's going on. Then you have option 2. Option 2 is the agent of change that all of a sudden becomes the employee. It is an employee, a W-2 person inside of your work organization that is coming here to help change what the organization needs. Now here's where it gets weird. There's a couple of different things that can occur with that. And let me explain exactly what that means. Here's what happens most of the time. You bring in someone and you give them a title, and the title is very close and similar to the titles that already exist within the organization. If you mostly have supervisors and managers, you give them a manager title. If you mostly have supervisors, you give them a supervisor title. But here's what happens when you start dealing peer-to-peer. It becomes weird. It becomes weird sometimes. Let me explain why I say that. Because when it becomes peer-to-peer, then all of a sudden it's like, I don't have to listen about what this agent of change wants to do. We have the same ranking. That's not a problem. It's kind of a strange one. It becomes a little bit more difficult to get things done. But if this person comes in as an employee, a W-2, so on, and you give them a title that has not existed before, An officer, a director, vice president, something along those lines, things change immediately because then you kind of know that this person is tied into the authority of the organization. And when I use that word authority, you have to make sure on how you use authority, because just because there is authority does not mean that you have to be an asshole towards people. Let's just be realistic. It's about knowing that when the person that's in charge of the whole place, you are the second, the third, so on, person that is the agent of change. So here's the problem with both options. Depending on how it's structured, you could limit what you can do within an organization. Just because somebody wants to do change that never wanted to do change in the previous conclusion of things, all of a sudden wanting to do change today doesn't mean that change will be easy within an organization. So maybe that's the stuff that you need to talk about. Maybe you have to be willing to build the foundation of what you want to change before you just turn around and go, okay, we're changing stuff because we're changeable today. Here's what will happen in both scenarios. Most of the times it'll last about 6 weeks. Mm-hmm. It'll last about 6 weeks. Not a joke. Would love to say that I'm kidding. But it'll last about 6 weeks because it becomes that emotional event. This is where you hear that term flavor of the week quite often, because if you're not focusing on what needs to be done, you're shooting arrows in the dark most of the time. You're shooting at a goal that doesn't exist. So what does an agent of change look like in your organization? Maybe you should look at it as somebody who can help set the foundations. of what needs to be changed and work as a team to change everything if you want things to work out. Now, if you don't want it to work out, well, give it 6 weeks, because you want to know something? Most people will say something better will happen.

You've seen the loop. You've felt the shift. The script doesn't fit anymore, and neither do you. Safety Transmission. The Collapse of the Construct is the 3rd and final signal in the trilogy From Jay Allen, PhD. And this time, it's not about waking up. It's about what you do once you're awake. The system didn't break. It just stopped pretending to hold you. And now it's blinking, rebranding presence, packaging resistance, and calling it progress. This book isn't a guide. It's a transmission. It doesn't teach the system how to evolve. It shows you how to stop performing for it. You'll see what happens when awareness becomes responsibility, when audits don't listen, and when leadership becomes a loop. But if you've made it this far, you're not here to be managed. You're here to carry signal. Safety Transmission: The Collapse of the Construct. Now available in print, Kindle, and audiobook. Narrated by Jay Allen. PhD.

Today's quote was submitted by Derek. Earl Nightingale said, we become what we think about. That's a pretty short quote, but there's a lot packed in there. Into that little quote. I've noticed that when I spend too much time thinking about something going wrong, I start finding more things that are going wrong. It's almost like my brain says, oh, you want to look out for problems? I've got plenty of those. But the opposite is also true. If you start looking for opportunities, you begin to see opportunities. If you are trying to improve your business, you start noticing ways to improve it. If you're trying to become a better person, you'll notice more more chances to help people. I don't think this means you should pretend everything is wonderful all the time, but don't spend your entire day feeding the problem. Just use your head. You've got this.

Here is the news on the Radar Safety Show.
Speaker M [00:49:06]:
From Feature Story News in the UK, I'm Jon Beaver. Voting has begun across the United States for the midterm elections, with the latest polling suggesting the Democratic Party could be heading for sweeping victories. All 435 House of Representatives seats, 35 Senate seats, and 36 governorships are being contested. More than 57 million Americans had already cast early ballots ahead of Tuesday's vote— almost 30% more than 4 years ago. It comes as US President Donald Trump's approval rating sits near a record low, with many predicting a bad day for his Republican Party, as Simon Marks reports from Washington. There are growing projections, one of them of course coming from that final opinion poll collated by Siena College for the New York Times, that shows Democrats romping to victory over their Republican rivals, not only in some traditional battleground states, places like Michigan, Ohio, and Iowa, states that we always in every election cycle think of as being swing states. But astonishing numbers coming in from the Lone Star State of Texas, from Maine. Senator Susan Collins of Maine, a fixture here since 1997, she seems to be in trouble. In the House of Representatives, the Cook Report, very respected, uh, and absolutely down-the-line organization here that has polling and making projections in Washington for decades. They are projecting a Democratic Party gain in the House of Representatives of up to 25 seats, possibly even more. And of course, the Democrats only need to pick up 4 seats in the House of Representatives and hold all the seats that they've currently got in order to secure a majority. The UK Prime Minister will join King Charles at the formal opening of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Summit in Antigua later. Andy Burnham, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is expected to begin talks about the UK issuing a formal apology for the slave trade, but he's ruled out paying reparations. Ali Gill is chairman of the Grenada Reparations Commission.
Speaker W [00:51:16]:
First things on the lips of people walking through the streets of the Caribbean, um, from the time we knew that Commonwealth Heads meeting would have been in Antigua this November, the issue of reparative justice has come to the fore.
Speaker M [00:51:32]:
Severe cyclonic storm Murrasu has made landfall in India, bringing gale-force winds and mass evacuations. Hisham Gerg reports from New Delhi.
Speaker L [00:51:40]:
It is the second cyclone to strike the region in less than a week. Just days ago, another cyclone called Arunab battered the same state. At least 6 people were killed in the state of Andhra Pradesh, and another 6 people were killed in the neighboring state of Odisha, with at least 10 people still missing after floods and landslides, according to reports.
Speaker M [00:52:01]:
From bureaus worldwide, this is FSM.
Speaker A [00:52:03]:
You are listening to a radio god. What? This has to be an error. That host is not a radio god. Anyways, this is the Rated R Safety Show on Safety FM.
Speaker G [00:52:15]:
Okay, so there you go. Currently 52 minutes past the top of the hour as you and I are hanging out on this lovely Tuesday. Let's start talking right away about some things that happened. You know when? Back on this date, because that always seems to be a thing to talk about. Back in 1762, Spain acquires Louisiana. Mm-hmm. In 1874, James Theodore Holley elected Bishop of Haiti. In 1888, Jack the Ripper kills his last victim. In 1903, Colombia grants Panama independence. In 1917, the first-class mail Cost 3 cents. In 1953, sacrifice fly reactivated in baseball. In 1956, Wizard of Oz is first televised on CBS. In 1973, Good Morning America premieres on ABC. David Harvard— or excuse me, David Hartman and Nancy Dessault are the hosts at the time. In 1988, Reagan signs credit card disclosure bill. And in 1988 as well, talk show host Geraldo Rivera's nose is broken as Roy Ensign brawls with skinheads on a TV taping. So that all happened back on the dates that I referenced inside of there. Let's talk about some celebrity birthdays that are going on today. Roseanne Barr turns 74. Cape Cod Shaw turns 73. Kathy Kinney, 73 as well. Dennis Miller, 73. Apparently it's a 73 kind of day. Adam Ant turns 72. And Dalf Lundgren, Yep. Drago from Rocky fame, Rocky IV to be exact. He turns 69 today. So there you go. Some things to talk about. Let's talk about some things you ought to know, because that's always a thing to do. Uh, in case you do not know, pay close attention. Today is Election Day. Yep. Midterm Election Day. Go out there and vote regardless of what you get a chance to do. Go out there and do it because I think it's going to be an There you go. Also, let's talk about tonight's Mega Million jackpot. It's for $482 million. Here's last night's winning Powerball number. Jackpot was $793 million. The numbers were 7, 23, 29, 64, 66. Powerball was 23. Power Play was 4. So there you go. Also, a new Morning Consultant poll shows that President Trump's approval rating is at its lowest point since returning to the White House. The survey found that 41% of voters approve of his job performance, While 56% disapprove, giving him a net approval of around -15 points. The poll also found that 46% of voters strongly disapprove of the president, compared to just 22% who strongly approve. That 25-point gap is strong opinions and the largest of his second term. The numbers are drawing attention as both parties Look towards the midterm election. Also in some other news, Governor Gavin Newsom from California to increase the state film and television tax credit program from $700 million to $1 billion, including $100 million for independent production. He also wants to extend the program through 2040, keep more movies and TV shows filming in California. State says the program has helped create 43,000 jobs as California fights competition from states like Georgia for Hollywood productions. So there you go. With some other news, President Trump has authorized defensive strikes against Iranian targets, um, in the Qasem Island in the Strait of Hormuz just one day before the midterms elections, as U.S. officials confirmed the strikes, saying that the targeted Iranian forces using, uh, surface-to-air missiles against American assets. Iranian state television also reported hearing explosives on the island. The strikes reportedly appear limited and are not considered a return to full-scale hostility. So I guess that's one way to look at it. However, they come from— President Trump had previously indicated that the U.S. would not launch additional strikes against Iran before Tuesday's midterm election. Maybe they were thinking Tuesday, you know, on the other side of the planet, not a Tuesday in the US. Who the hell knows? Anyways, if you care about the NFL, let me give you this one. NFL last night, Bears beat the Seahawks 34 to 17, if that's important to you. So there you go. Anyways, that's going to sum up our time together at the top of the hour. I will be going over to radiobig.fm for the next couple hours or so talking about the world of music entertainment if you want to go over there and hang out. If you don't want to go over there, that's perfectly fine. You can hang out here with the likes of Sheldon Primus as he talks about the world of safety consulting. If you need some words of wisdom for today, here you go. It's not the size of the man, but the size of his heart that matters. So keep that in mind. And if you need some advice for today, at the beginning of the day, write down the 3 most important things you need to accomplish. Focus on those before getting distracted by everything else. And congratulations, you just defeated 37 unnecessary tasks and 1 group task. So there you go, some things to think about. Anyways, I know who you are, you know who I am. Love ya, mean it, and goodbye.
