America protest. President Trump has commuted the prison sentence of
disgraced former Republican Congressmen from Long Island, George Santos, who
had pled guilty to identity theft and wirefraud in twenty
twenty four and was serving seven years in a New

a rogue, but added there are many rogues throughout our

Yeah, that was, you know, the greatest, probably the greatest
postseason performance of all time. Man, There's been a lot
of postseason games, and uh, there's a reason why he's
the greatest player on the planet.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
And Brewers manager Pat Murphy agrees.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
We're part of tonight and iconic. You know, maybe the

Speaker 2 (03:26):
The National Retail Federation says fifty one percent of all
adults we'll dress up for Halloween this year. They say
the average costume will set you back about fifty bucks.
That's a lot of cash if you end up changing
your mind about your costume, and Psychology Today says that
happens about nineteen percent of the time to adults. Kids
are more secure with their choices because there's less social
anxiety about the choice. I'm bre Tennis.
