Speaker 1 (00:11):
Vladimir Guerrero six playoff home run. There is a Game
seven in the American League Championship Series in Toronto, so
the Mariners couldn't wrap them up in six. And in
Sunday Night football, I know some of you were watching
the forty nine Ers knocked off the Falcons twenty to ten.
I'm Kate Delaneo. What a weekend it was. I hope
(00:33):
yours was great too. Here at the top of the show,
we always jumped to the rundown. First, President Trump, I'm
sure he's such a sports fan. I'm positive he watched
some sports. But he met with Ukrainian President Zelenski over
(00:55):
the weekend. He hosted him in Florida, and of course
the goal is to end the war between Ukraine and Russia.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
We had a very good meeting, very cordial meeting.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
In my opinion, they should stop.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
The war immediately.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
You go by the battle line wherever it is, and
both sides should go home, go to their families, stop
the killing, and that.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
Should be it.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
President Zelenski thinks that sounds good, but he needs Tomahawk
missiles until that time, so they can go fifteen miles
into Russian territory. He's willing to trade it. Though for
a ceasefire, we need cease file.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Even now.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
You see in the Middle East it's very difficult to
hold seas file everywhere, in.
Speaker 6 (01:41):
Every war, it's very difficult.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
We want this.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Putin doesn't want That's why we need pressure on him.
Trump hopes he doesn't have to give the Tomahawk missiles.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
I'm the mediator President. Hopefully we'll be able to get
the war over without thinking about Tomahawk.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
So where is all this headed. It's headed in the
direction of a meeting in Budapest between our president, President
Trump and Vladimir Putin, in the hopes of coming up with,
as Trump said, their mediation position, where there can be
some sort of ceasefire. Zelenski alluded to it. Here's a
(02:25):
big story coming off the heels of last week when
hostages were released twenty of them and twelve bodies were
returned of those that died in captivity. There are still
more that are supposedly buried and they're waiting. Israel's waiting
for them. But in the meantime, the Israeli military launch
(02:47):
strikes across the Gaza Strip killed about forty four people,
according to local hospitals after Israel accused Tomas of violating
a truce by attacking its troops. The IDF said the
militants fired at the troops in Rafa and announced the
two soldiers had been killed. So they retaliated. That escalation
(03:11):
on Sunday was the most serious challenge to an already
kind of tenuous ceasefire, obviously backed by the United States.
They went into the first phase of the deal that
required Israel to partially withdraw troops allow for the free
flow of humanitarian aid that was happening, and released a
specific number of Palestinian prisoners and detainees. And of course,
(03:31):
as I said, Hamas released the remaining hostages it abducted
on the attacks on October seventh, twenty twenty three, including
the bodies of those who either died that day or
were killed in captivity. But that was twelve. Did they
still have sixteen? And they say that it'll take time
to find and exhume the bodies of the sixteen others
(03:54):
without specialized equipment. So what is Benjamin and Yahoo's sang
the Prime Minister of Israel. He says he met with
his defense minister and the other security officials and directed
the strong action be taken against the terrorist targets in
the Gaza strip. The Defense Minister said, Hamas will learn
the hard way that the IDF is determined to protect
(04:16):
its soldiers and prevent any harm to them. So it
seems as though there could be a little bit of
a stall in this cease fire agreement. It's a little
bit shaky at best. Speaking of shaky, the government has
been shut down, as you all know, since midnight October first,
(04:40):
and guess what. The House is going to stay out
of session. They're not coming back. Speaker of the House
Mike Johnson said a news conference on Friday. The House
will come back into session and do its work as
soon as Chuck Schumer follows along and allows us to
reopen the government. So there was the announcement made that
(05:03):
it's another week off, so to speak, or at least
not being back in Washington for the House. I happened
to catch Congressman Kevin Kylie, a Republican from California, who
was talking about the government shutdown and what he hopes
happens that we'll.
Speaker 7 (05:21):
Just go ahead and pass that same cr and we
can get the government open and we get the million
people back to work. But I also understand that if
there's an unwillingness to do that, then at some point
we need to actually have some conversations to see if
we can find some bipartisan common ground to get Americans
the government that they are paying for back serving them.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
All Right, So you heard there that it's not happening.
It's still the same standoff. It's the same conversation that
we've been hearing about and seeing from the people that
represent us since this thing started. How about these thieves
that took seven minutes in a daytime heist. How brazen
is that to steal precious jewelry from the louver. They
(06:04):
broke into the Apollo Gallery, which houses French Crown jewels,
and took objects with thousands of diamonds on them. You
should see the stuff. Among the stolen loot was an
emerald and diamond necklace that Napoleon gave his wife, Empress
Marie Louise. So when they opened their doors to visitors
(06:28):
on Sunday, that's when the thieves made the move. They
used a mechanized furniture elevator attached to a truck, forced
their way through a window into that gallery where those
jewels were took them. Like I said, seven minutes. They
were able to do it. They used a grinder to
cut through display cases and they helped themselves to the
jewelry before they made their escape on motor bikes. Are
(06:51):
you kidding me? And these were two high security display
cases of the Napoleon Jewelry. They took nine altogether, nine
different objects, and one was recovered near the scene. Together,
the stolen pieces included thousands of diamonds and a lot
(07:11):
of precious jewels. Think of the time, Think of the
money and you know, sapphire jewelry, all that stuff, what
it would be worth two thousand diamonds, two hundred pearls.
And then here's the other part to this that's awful.
Imagine you play on your vacation. Of course you want
to see the louver. You're in there. They closed it.
(07:32):
Get out. It's the most visited art museum in the world,
and so they had to close it. They had to say, oh, geez,
we're sorry about it, but we're closing for and this
is what they told people on the website exceptional reasons.
They didn't say what it was. But then the story
broke and then the people who were at the Louver
were told to leave. They had to get out, they
(07:54):
had to leave. So you had a lot of people
that had lined up that had gone in, and because
of what happened there, they couldn't have them crawling around
all over the Louver. Right, what a terrible, terrible thing.
I mean, you think of the thousands of famous paintings, sculptures,
it's a piece of history. People. Eight point seven million
(08:14):
people visited the museum last year. Wow. I mean even
the louver workers were on strike in June because they
were protesting over tourism and unmanageable crowds. So they had
these rare hours long museum closures and this is awful.
That's why they were talking about redesigning the Louver. Oh
(08:35):
there's four poor people all right coming up on the
flip side. You have to look back before you go forward.
That's what somebody told me several times in my lifetime.
So they'll weekly rewind on the flip.
Speaker 8 (08:49):
Let's see if something costs less but people are happier
with it, that sounds like something to look into. And
that is meta share. Maybe you've heard switching to meta
share to pay for healthcare can save many families up
to five hundred bucks a month, and.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
That is huge.
Speaker 8 (09:04):
But it's also true that people are way more satisfied
after making the switch too. The members satisfaction rate for
meta Share is double that of the typical health insurance plan.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Double.
Speaker 8 (09:14):
Meta Share works too. It's been around for thirty years.
Members have shared more than five billion dollars of each
other's bills. People love having telehealth and a huge nationwide
PPO network. So yeah, real, you can save a ton
and like it better. Imagine being happy with how you're
taking care of your healthcare. So if you're self employed
or part of the gig economy, or you just want
to plan you're happy with, you can call right now.
(09:35):
You'll get a price within two minutes. So see what
you can say. This is a very very smart use
of two minutes. Here's the number you need call eight
five five share forty. That's eight five five share forty,
eight five five share forty.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
It was a big week last week, There's no question
about it, especially when you think about the fact that
you had hostages released, the horror of all of that,
and then more humanitarian aid or at least some of
it got through to starving people in Gaza. And you know,
we've watched this, we've talked about it, We've had people
on the show who have loved ones in the middle
(12:34):
of it, which I cannot imagine, so the big thing
was heading into the week, when are those hot hostages
going to be released? Wow, unbelievable that this is finally happening.
And just the squeals of excitement of so many families
being reunited with their sons, with their brothers, with their nephews,
(12:58):
with the people that matter to them that they weren't
even sure they would ever see again after the atrocities
of October seventh, over two years ago, and here was
one couple reuniting exactly. I mean, they were just the
(13:25):
squeals of unbelievable delight, actually is what you heard there.
And it was over and over and over again, over
and over and over again. You heard that, all right.
Uh So part of that was the President going and
addressing the Israeli Parliament, meeting with so many of the
(13:49):
people who were involved in this and made this happen,
which of course the US was really the big, big
deal maker in the whole, and that would be Jared
Kushner and the Envoy, his rather son in law and Witkoff,
(14:10):
part of that whole deal making peacekeeping group, and he
addressed parliament, went over and addressed Israeli Parliament, which is
so rare for any American presidents do. And here's what
he said.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
This is not only the end of a war. This
is the end of the age of terror and death
and the beginning of the age of faith and hope
and of God. It's the start of a grand concord
and lasting harmony for Israel and all the nations of
what will soon be a truly magnificent region. I believe
(14:51):
that so strongly. This is the historic dawn of a
new Middle East.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
We hope, and we hope it bounces back to that,
because there was a lot of excitement last week over
that possibility, and the hostages being returned twenty of them
just really was the highlight. Now there are some problems
heading into the week as of Sunday, so we'll see
if that can roll back into more phases or what
(15:21):
happens moving forward, because Israel is not going to compromise
they say on the return of remains, so that they're
at a critical juncture at this point. But that's what
we learned from heading into last week, the excitement over that,
and then how tough it is to really honor any
kind of a peace agreement and get it to move
(15:42):
forward between the Palestinians and Israel. The government shutdown is
affecting a lot of people. Let's face it, they're not
getting checks. There are moments now coming up when people
should be getting checks, and if the government continues to
be shut down, they will not get those checks. So
(16:03):
some of them are preparing for what do I do?
Because I can't write an IOU to the credit card companies,
to the orthodontics, or to anything that I have to
do in my life. I'm counting on these checks. Here
was one of those people, Michael galant Lee, who was
a furloughed a USDA worker, and he talked about what
(16:28):
his plan was and what some others had to really
cope with.
Speaker 11 (16:34):
There's a whole lot of uncertainty with this. In my case,
my wife and I we have several months worth of savings,
and so we are dipping into that savings. We've had
to cut back on some expenditures. Wanted to get a
couple of windows in the house replaced. That's going to
(16:54):
have to go on hold. We are looking at other
ways and cut back if this goes on for an
expended period of time. I've been in contact with my
members in my local and you know, some are as
ready as I am. This is my third government shutdown,
some are Some are already worried about the next month.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Yeah, and the next month is coming. I mean here
we are rolling into another week. The House not even
going to be they're doing any kind of legislation because,
as the Speaker said, unless the Senate does anything, we're
not coming back at least another week. They're not coming back.
So this has been since mid September. Wow, wow, wow,
(17:44):
And this is the thing that is going to start
to pinch all of us if it hasn't already affected you.
And of course the sticking point is healthcare and the
Affordable you know, Healthcare Act and the credits people get
to help them pay for health care. The Democrats are
saying they're not trusting that if you open That's what
(18:06):
it is. It comes down to trust. They're not willing
to have a continuing resolution. They're not willing to have
that band aid budget and then say okay, now we'll
talk about new policy. They're not doing it until they
agree to continue with the subsidies. How long does that last?
(18:27):
That's the key thing. Last week was a big week
for George Santos. Maybe a shocker for some to hear this.
He was released from prison after a sentence was commuted
by President Trump. He signed the commutation releasing the former
congressman from prison immediately. The thirty seven year old was
(18:48):
less than three months into serving a seven year sentence
in federal prison. He was convicted of wire fraud aggravated
identity theF He was released from prison just before eleven
pm on Friday night and was picked up by his family.
He was supposed to make reparations of four hundred thousand dollars.
That also is something he will not have to do, so,
(19:15):
you know, the commutation comes days after the South Shore
Press published a plea, a passionate plea from Santos to
the President which he expressed his support and asked the
President allow him the opportunity to return to his family's
friends in his community. And he said, during my short
tenure in Congress, I stood by your agenda, and I
(19:38):
championed the policies that helped our economy and defended our borders,
and I did it so proudly. So then that happened
on Friday. There's speculation about maybe some other people who
could get a pardon or have their sentences commuted. But
this was this was just a one off situation, which
(20:01):
again the president has the power of course to do that,
and so he exercised, he exercised his right to do that.
When you wrap up the weekend, I mentioned the fact
that there is going to be how about this a
game seven in the world in the road to the
World Series for the American League Championship. Will it be Toronto?
(20:25):
Will it be the Mariners? But what happened last week
Friday on the National League side so unbelievable. Show hey
Otani is worth every cent and he gets paid a
lot of money. Remember best best, best contract in baseball,
(20:46):
seven hundred million dollars. And of course then the second
he played for the Dodgers, they won a World Series. Well,
the Dodgers beat the Brewers. The Dodgers beat the Brewers
five to one on Friday, and that would have been
the game to be at because show hey o Tani
hit three homers and pitched incredible baseball ten strikeout six
(21:11):
plus innings. Unbelievable, As some people wrote emails to me
where they said, this guy's not human. He's not human,
how can he be?
Speaker 2 (21:21):
So?
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Los Angeles wrapped up their series with a sweep for Zip.
Now they wait, like I said, to see what happens
on the other side of this thing. So they are
favorites to repeat, you know, will they who knows? But again,
the improbability of the of his greatness? How high can
(21:43):
he keep topping himself? That was a top or that
is one for the ages. I mean, it was incredible,
incredible baseball. What a two way show. You got to
think about it, pitching and hitting on both side sides
of it. Right, This is why I love that Pictures
(22:05):
hit in the National League. To me, that's the whole thing.
I'm not a huge fan of the DH and he
is a perfect reason why. Now lots of Pictures certainly
struggle and they're not as great at the play. But man,
what an incredible, incredible performance. All right, hang with us.
Coming up next on the show someone that I think
(22:30):
is one of the nicest people ever, and he's got
a great message, Michael Pellegrino. We need to be pumped
up with positivity. Next doing us on author's corner is
(23:03):
Michael Pellegrino. The book Crisis Equal Opportunity, Finding growth and
resilience in challenging times. This book is a must read.
I would love to see this in so many places
in this country too. By the way, Michael has such
an interesting background. He spent so much of his life
(23:24):
in law enforcement and community service and all kinds of
personal development. I mean, a twenty seven year career in
law enforcement. Think about that in New Jersey, the things
that he's seen, the things that he knows, his expertise,
and now how many people he's helping, and especially as
a motivational speaker and getting this book out there. So
we're thrilled to have him once again on author's corner
(23:46):
here on America Tonight with me Kate Delady. Michael, thanks
for coming on.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
Thank you so much. Kate.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Let's talk about writing this book. What led to you deciding, yeah,
we need to do this book.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
Well, I always like to start off saying it's not
about me, It's about we and our family At Resilient Minds,
our subject matter experts are docs second to none in
creating this curriculum based off of you know, brain science
and positive psychology and all that stuff. So they really
are on the forefront our Resilient Minds family, and that
(24:22):
really led me to want to do something for them
to be able to get what we're doing in the
classrooms and as facilitators out to the people and in
the masses, because we really believe that it's important to
make sure when you hit that spiral that you could
use the term and we love this term point you
(24:45):
know that we use is called catch yourself. Catching yourself.
So when you can catch yourself in that spiral going
down and you can use one of the tools from
the book to not only spiral back up, but thrive
in life, that's really really the most important part of
this whole thing.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Yeah, and what did you see? And you probably it's
like I said, I mean all that life experience, what
did you see as a police officer, things that you
wish you could have turned around for somebody. When we
talk about this resilience and crisis.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
Well, you look at things from a different perspective. And
you go to a call and you go and you're
not getting called to that call because somebody wants to
have dinner with you or somebody wants to give you
good news. It's kind of like their life is in
a little bit of a spiral right now, and you
have to come and you have to get there and
figure it out and do the right thing and be
able to help them and be able to get them in,
(25:39):
you know, in your corner there. But more importantly, the
things that you've seen, your mind is like a video recorder.
It stops, it fast forwards, it rewinds, it kind of
goes back into you know, into your lizard and your
puppy brain, and it brings back all those memories. And
(26:00):
you know, I can I will wake up sometimes thinking,
oh my god, did that really just happen? And that
was something from my past? And you know, knowing that
and be able to recognize that, I'm able to do
a lot of things and to be able to catch
myself coming in and out of that spiral into that
spiral and and spiral backup. But the things that you
(26:23):
see on this job, you'll never forget, Kate. And And
that's I think the part that I really really focus
on a lot is having to work on my mind
because that's the most important part of our body.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Oh, I agree, it's that adversity. Like you say, crisis
equal opportunity. That's it. It equals opportunity. What was the
worst thing that you saw on the job that you
just had to rewrack your mind and and flip that switch.
Like you're talking about that spiral.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
Well, motor vehicle accidents, children, children's debts, the smells, uh,
you know, fire watching, you know, things that that happen
on the job that you can't have any control over.
But I think there's nothing worse than than seeing a
child's death. And and that really puts you into a
(27:20):
downward spiral. Because even though I don't have children, I
have nieces and nephews, and you know that's to me,
there's nothing more important than than our loved ones and
our young ones as well. So that's really that that's
really bothers me a lot.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Yeah, the in the book, what will people find when
they turn the pages? Give us a little bit of
the meat of the book.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
I think that the most important part is some some
really viable tools that you can take away life hacks,
whatever they they they are that you want to call them,
but we like to have. We like to, you know,
tell people that having tools on your tool belt, because
you know, mindfulness will not work for everybody. For me,
(28:06):
what works for me is gratitude, is having that sense
of gratefulness and how I can really take my gratitudes
and turn them from a negative to a positive because
you know, as we've learned during this brain science, we
have learned that that we have that anger and joy
(28:29):
cannot live in the same headspace. So when you're happy
and joyful, you can't be angry. So being able to
turn that in the neuroplasticity world, we'd like to say
changing those habits because we get so caught up in
that vortex by going down that negative path. Our mind
wants to go to the negative path, and and Brene
(28:51):
Brown said it the best, and she I think I
think the number was like eighty three percent of the
time our minds go right to the negative. And I'm
giving it example of that, you get called into the
boss's office, what's the first thing you're thinking of, Oh
my god, what did I do? Rather than saying.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
What did I did?
Speaker 4 (29:08):
What did I do?
Speaker 12 (29:09):
Great?
Speaker 4 (29:09):
No, it's you're constantly trying to think and trying to
say and get away from that negative bias and get
get caught up in them negative cognitive traps as well too.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Yeah, and you know, using all this is wonderful. And
again the book is crisis equal opportunity. It equals opportunity,
finding growth and resilience and challenging times. We're speaking with
Michael Pellegrina. You can get the book on Amazon, Barnes,
and Noble, wherever great books are sold. And one of
the things you and I talked about off the air
is people don't need to suffer in silence anymore. And
(29:40):
you told me the story that just a handful of
years ago you had a partner that committed suicide and
you would have had no idea about that.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
Yeah, Yeah, And that's you know, unfortunately, you know, we
we have seen it so many different times and so
many times on this job and great end of mine unfortunately.
But again, you just don't know what people are going
through behind closed doors. Sometimes sometimes we do, but sometimes
(30:11):
it's asking those tough questions and being able to get
the right answers, and you know, sometimes we'll never get
them answers, Kate. And that's that's the one thing that
you can look at and say, I always like to say,
when when when you have three things working in your
life that are that are these most important three things
(30:32):
your finances, your relationships, and your health. You know, when
they're going in the right direction, you're probably going to
be okay, but you take one of them away, and man,
life's coming to a theater near you. And if it's
not at your doorstep ready with those three things, so
being able to identify and catch people in silence because
(30:56):
you just don't know what people are going through behind
closed doors. And that's one of the things that we
like to really say in some of the resources that
we have, And one of our biggest resources is a
Kadia Healthcare and they are the largest mental health and
behavior health company in the world, and we're able to
(31:16):
use them and they're part of our you know there,
you know, two of their main players are part of
our team in facilitating this. So being able to have
those research resources, those culturally competent resources, we can do
whatever we need to do to get those people the
help that they do that they need so they don't
(31:37):
suffer in silence anymore. Just like you know, my partner
and anybody else who who might be thinking that route
is is that route?
Speaker 5 (31:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (31:46):
You know, And it's interesting you said it. I mean,
your finance, is your health, your relationships and all of
a sudden, I like how you put that It's coming
to you in a theater near you. Everything's fine and
then boom you get walloped. So how do you not spiral?
That's the juice of this book. That's what you talk about,
that resiliency, and that's why you were the Chief Resilience Officer.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
What was that like, Well, you know, it's everybody has
different issues and problems and everything. And I think the
most important part of being that peer, of being that
person is being able to be trusted because there's so
many people that you know, that are out there that
that can't be trusted. So you want to make sure
(32:30):
that no matter what said or no matter what's talked about,
that you are trusted individual who's respected, you know, for
what you have done. And that was one of the
things that you have to develop with people. It's not
something that comes overnight. But more importantly, want to make
sure that when you have those people in place, Like
(32:53):
I always wanted to be the person to help somebody
and you know that was who I was. But not
everybody's going to come to you if they don't trust you.
So I think that was really important in my in
my time as that in Hell that position is making
sure that I was trusted and uh, you know, people
will come to you. And to this day, I will
(33:15):
you know, I will die with a lot of secrets
and and and that's just important. But the one thing
that I always always prefaced it by telling them, there's
three things that you know, we need to we need
to make sure that we get out in front of
If you are a danger to yourself or others, then
that you know, we have to do something about that.
Or if you committed a crime, we have to be
(33:38):
able to do something about that. Anything else we could
you know, work around. And that was that was one
of the things that I would always say. And and
we've gotten a lot of people into help and save
their careers. And you know, our Resilient Minds family is
is incredible when it comes to that, because, uh, it's
(34:00):
not about doing away with the person. It's about being
able to save them and save their career and say
and save their possibly their life. And unfortunately, when you're
going through the storm's not the time to change your
belief system. You have to have those skills in place
(34:21):
prior to going through the storm, because there's nothing that
I could tell you when you're going through that storm
to be able to change that thought process at that time.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Yeah. Wow, so powerful again. Pick this book up. Go
to the websites.
Speaker 4 (34:35):
Michael, thank you, thank you so much for your time.
Speaker 12 (34:39):
Okay, did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes?
Actually three known gas is hi, I'm doctor Mitch, and
nitric oxide is a gas that's readily made all day
long to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood
(34:59):
ves walls. By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
energy can go down, and you can get tingling in

your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate nitric Oxide
can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide. Go

Speaker 6 (38:00):
Oh girl, you have mailed Mistress's.
Speaker 4 (38:02):
Dig in the mail bag.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
Ah, thank you very much. So many of you hitting
me up about all kinds of things, including a course
the weekend. That was Man, you were just all over
it after the games wrap up, or at least the
ones that you're watching. Just like how listening to swgcam
fourteen ninety in the Great state of Connecticut, Kate, I'm
(38:35):
furious about my giants. How lame is it to have
the lead that they had and then to completely blow
it so that it came down to a field goal
and the Broncos could stomp all over them with time
ticking away and just a chip shot. What idiots? And
(39:01):
I just got sucked back into believing that this team
could do something, and it would have been a much
different story had they won, especially if you look at
how tight the NFC East is starting to become, or
how competitive. I guess I'll say that I don't think
I've ever been so upset after a game, which that's
(39:22):
saying something. But the fact that they had the big
lead that they had in the defense was so lame
they could not hold it. I'm beside myself. What's your
thoughts on the Giants and their season? I think you
nailed it. I mean, look, they're two and five. If
they had won that game, that would have been that
(39:42):
would have been three for them, But instead they shut
them out for three quarters and then the Broncos come
back with thirty three points in the fourth in one
of the most stunning turnarounds in the history of the
NFL during the regular season. So you're right, the chip
shot Will Luttz kicks the thirty nine yard or time
to expires and boom. The crowd goes crazy because this
(40:04):
was in Denver, so seriously, the thirty three fourth quarter
points were the most in NFL history by any team
that was shut out for the first three quarters, and
quarterback bo Nicks became the first player ever to run
for two scores and throw for two touchdowns in the
fourth quarter. You don't care about all those deets. You
care about the Giants. This is gonna haunt the Giants.
(40:25):
They were in disbelief. I mean, it is absolutely talk
about a tough loss. They put everything into this, They
gave everything they had and then it's blown at the
end of it. They gotta come up with something different
coming out after this. I mean, listen, the Giants visit
(40:45):
the Eagles on Sunday. Good luck with that. So especially
because now the Eagles seem to be finding their stride.
I mean, is all hope lost. I don't think they're
going anywhere in the play playoffs. I mean if I was,
if you were asking me now, because it's only seven
games into the season, it's not looking good. They'd have
(41:07):
to clear the board? Is that impossible? And what are
the other teams gonna do? Because they're gonna meet the
Cowboys and they're gonna meet the Eagles a couple of times.
So if they were able to nail their division rivals, sure,
And you know it's so terrible about all of that.
I love, I love, love, love love Love Dart.
Speaker 6 (41:29):
I do.
Speaker 1 (41:30):
I like he's like a breath of fresh air Jackson Dart.
Maybe a little cocky, but good, who cares about that?
So yeah, all right, I'm gonna go too deep in this.
I can tell you're wounded. All right, let's move. Let's
move to something else. Let's go to this one from
keV who is listening to us KSL radio in Salt
(41:51):
Lake City one oh two point seven FM. I took
my family to the Louver and to France last summer,
and let me tell you, I guess I'm glad that
I did it, Katie, because I heard that story about
(42:13):
the ripped off jewels and all the problems they're having
at the Louver, that it's overcrowded, you can't get in,
and it's just not a good time to want to
go to one of the best places on earth to
see history in incredible treasures. But the fact that they
(42:34):
were able to dupe the people there were the kind
of security they have and just take seven minutes and
ramsackle the Jewels of Napoleon is so surprising to me
and too bad for the people who want to go
there and tour. I feel again fortunate because we thought
(42:56):
about not doing it last year because there were other
things on our family's agenda family a big family reunions
that we have, that kind of thing. But we decided that, yeah,
we needed to make the time because we take our
kids every year to someplace different. It doesn't have to
be far away somewhere in Europe. But it was the
(43:16):
perfect opportunity for us to do this because they're getting ready.
One is on a mission now, and others are getting
ready as they move into high school ages. And we
know that pretty soon we'll be empty nesters. So this
was a good opportunity for us to do to do
the trip. But I'm even equally more excited that we
(43:40):
did it based on some of the things that are
happening now. All right, so let's move to this one.
This one is from Joe, and Joe is listening to
us klis Low Information Station that would be in the
great city of Saint Louis, Missouri. Kate Ace Freely, I
(44:06):
heard you talking about it and the fact that you
had gone to a kiss concert and you realize the
greatness of kiss when you must have been a doubter
at a very young age. And it's true he knew
how to play that axe, that's for sure. He had
some great moments with the group, great solo moments. I
(44:30):
probably saw Kiss, and I'm fifty two years old. I
probably saw Kiss maybe twenty two times. I had to
beg my parents the first time I went, and in fact,
my dad dropped us off, picked us right up after
and before the concert. I'm from Ohio, but he was
(44:54):
the best, was the he was the court gesture, as
some would say, and yeah, too bad all the bandmates
remembering him got me a little misty eyed for this
macho man. But my favorite is just the basics you played,
you know, rock and roll. I went rock and roll
(45:16):
and all night long and that that is one of
the best songs ever I think recorded by Kiss. Yeah,
you know what, It's funny you say that I hadn't
read anything, and then over the weekend when I could
carve out some time, because you know what, I got
roped into yard sales. Oh that's another story. But anyway,
(45:39):
you know, dead at the age of seventy four, and
I wanted to see what people were saying, and you know,
like Brett Michaels saying thanks for the years of great music.
All my love and respect for my family and myself
Rest in peace. And there was a picture of him
with the whole the whole group, and then Mike McCready
(46:01):
from Pearl Jam said he was a hero of mine.
He shared a photo of him in Freely and Eddie
Vedder and and said said that and said I heard
about his passing from someone who I played in a
band with, and you know, they were just the best.
And seeing the picture was really cool of because it
(46:22):
was Sam's makeup. He didn't have Freely, it was didn't
have makeup on, but it was really really good. And
then there was another one somewhere I saw, you know,
space on space Ace and I guess it was I
guess it was maybe Peter Chris and just said, you know,
deepest condolences, condolences to family, friends, millions of fans worldwide,
(46:47):
and they're going to definitely pay tribute later moving on
in the season of course, Kiss drummer, Kiss Drummers, Peter
Cris and he said he died peacefully with his family
around him. His wife and I were with him to
the end as well. So he was one of the
main dudes, let's face it all right. On that note, Wow,
(47:09):
already we are through the mail bag and we are
ripping to the pre market bell. Yeah, another week, a
couple of weeks left in October before we swing into November.
Hard to believe, right Halloween scary times, not scary on
(47:30):
the market right now. Stock futures are up ahead of
a big earnings week. So Dow futures point twenty five percent,
SMP futures point thirty four percent, Nasdaq futures point forty
six percent, oils down slightly fifty seven bucks thirty three
cents for a barrel. But again, these things all move
(47:51):
and shift as you go through a whole day and
of course the rest of the week, and you know,
will we see a bunch of volatility or or what
are the things that you look at, And of course
one of them is what's happening overseas, what happens with
Israel and the peace agreement that does have an effect
(48:13):
on what's going on. And then earnings, earnings, earnings, that's
always a big, big deal. Thanks so much to Daniel
Kazerski for his excellent work on the technicals, and all
of you for listening to this hour of the show.
Make it count.
Speaker 10 (48:27):
Everybody,
Vladimir Guerrero six playoff home run. There is a Game
seven in the American League Championship Series in Toronto, so
the Mariners couldn't wrap them up in six. And in
Sunday Night football, I know some of you were watching
the forty nine Ers knocked off the Falcons twenty to ten.
I'm Kate Delaneo. What a weekend it was. I hope
(00:33):
yours was great too. Here at the top of the show,
we always jumped to the rundown. First, President Trump, I'm
sure he's such a sports fan. I'm positive he watched
some sports. But he met with Ukrainian President Zelenski over
(00:55):
the weekend. He hosted him in Florida, and of course
the goal is to end the war between Ukraine and Russia.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
We had a very good meeting, very cordial meeting.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
In my opinion, they should stop.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
The war immediately.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
You go by the battle line wherever it is, and
both sides should go home, go to their families, stop
the killing, and that.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
Should be it.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
President Zelenski thinks that sounds good, but he needs Tomahawk
missiles until that time, so they can go fifteen miles
into Russian territory. He's willing to trade it. Though for
a ceasefire, we need cease file.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Even now.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
You see in the Middle East it's very difficult to
hold seas file everywhere, in.
Speaker 6 (01:41):
Every war, it's very difficult.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
We want this.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Putin doesn't want That's why we need pressure on him.
Trump hopes he doesn't have to give the Tomahawk missiles.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
I'm the mediator President. Hopefully we'll be able to get
the war over without thinking about Tomahawk.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
So where is all this headed. It's headed in the
direction of a meeting in Budapest between our president, President
Trump and Vladimir Putin, in the hopes of coming up with,
as Trump said, their mediation position, where there can be
some sort of ceasefire. Zelenski alluded to it. Here's a
(02:25):
big story coming off the heels of last week when
hostages were released twenty of them and twelve bodies were
returned of those that died in captivity. There are still
more that are supposedly buried and they're waiting. Israel's waiting
for them. But in the meantime, the Israeli military launch
(02:47):
strikes across the Gaza Strip killed about forty four people,
according to local hospitals after Israel accused Tomas of violating
a truce by attacking its troops. The IDF said the
militants fired at the troops in Rafa and announced the
two soldiers had been killed. So they retaliated. That escalation
(03:11):
on Sunday was the most serious challenge to an already
kind of tenuous ceasefire, obviously backed by the United States.
They went into the first phase of the deal that
required Israel to partially withdraw troops allow for the free
flow of humanitarian aid that was happening, and released a
specific number of Palestinian prisoners and detainees. And of course,
(03:31):
as I said, Hamas released the remaining hostages it abducted
on the attacks on October seventh, twenty twenty three, including
the bodies of those who either died that day or
were killed in captivity. But that was twelve. Did they
still have sixteen? And they say that it'll take time
to find and exhume the bodies of the sixteen others
(03:54):
without specialized equipment. So what is Benjamin and Yahoo's sang
the Prime Minister of Israel. He says he met with
his defense minister and the other security officials and directed
the strong action be taken against the terrorist targets in
the Gaza strip. The Defense Minister said, Hamas will learn
the hard way that the IDF is determined to protect
(04:16):
its soldiers and prevent any harm to them. So it
seems as though there could be a little bit of
a stall in this cease fire agreement. It's a little
bit shaky at best. Speaking of shaky, the government has
been shut down, as you all know, since midnight October first,
(04:40):
and guess what. The House is going to stay out
of session. They're not coming back. Speaker of the House
Mike Johnson said a news conference on Friday. The House
will come back into session and do its work as
soon as Chuck Schumer follows along and allows us to
reopen the government. So there was the announcement made that
(05:03):
it's another week off, so to speak, or at least
not being back in Washington for the House. I happened
to catch Congressman Kevin Kylie, a Republican from California, who
was talking about the government shutdown and what he hopes
happens that we'll.
Speaker 7 (05:21):
Just go ahead and pass that same cr and we
can get the government open and we get the million
people back to work. But I also understand that if
there's an unwillingness to do that, then at some point
we need to actually have some conversations to see if
we can find some bipartisan common ground to get Americans
the government that they are paying for back serving them.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
All Right, So you heard there that it's not happening.
It's still the same standoff. It's the same conversation that
we've been hearing about and seeing from the people that
represent us since this thing started. How about these thieves
that took seven minutes in a daytime heist. How brazen
is that to steal precious jewelry from the louver. They
(06:04):
broke into the Apollo Gallery, which houses French Crown jewels,
and took objects with thousands of diamonds on them. You
should see the stuff. Among the stolen loot was an
emerald and diamond necklace that Napoleon gave his wife, Empress
Marie Louise. So when they opened their doors to visitors
(06:28):
on Sunday, that's when the thieves made the move. They
used a mechanized furniture elevator attached to a truck, forced
their way through a window into that gallery where those
jewels were took them. Like I said, seven minutes. They
were able to do it. They used a grinder to
cut through display cases and they helped themselves to the
jewelry before they made their escape on motor bikes. Are
(06:51):
you kidding me? And these were two high security display
cases of the Napoleon Jewelry. They took nine altogether, nine
different objects, and one was recovered near the scene. Together,
the stolen pieces included thousands of diamonds and a lot
(07:11):
of precious jewels. Think of the time, Think of the
money and you know, sapphire jewelry, all that stuff, what
it would be worth two thousand diamonds, two hundred pearls.
And then here's the other part to this that's awful.
Imagine you play on your vacation. Of course you want
to see the louver. You're in there. They closed it.
(07:32):
Get out. It's the most visited art museum in the world,
and so they had to close it. They had to say, oh, geez,
we're sorry about it, but we're closing for and this
is what they told people on the website exceptional reasons.
They didn't say what it was. But then the story
broke and then the people who were at the Louver
were told to leave. They had to get out, they
(07:54):
had to leave. So you had a lot of people
that had lined up that had gone in, and because
of what happened there, they couldn't have them crawling around
all over the Louver. Right, what a terrible, terrible thing.
I mean, you think of the thousands of famous paintings, sculptures,
it's a piece of history. People. Eight point seven million
(08:14):
people visited the museum last year. Wow. I mean even
the louver workers were on strike in June because they
were protesting over tourism and unmanageable crowds. So they had
these rare hours long museum closures and this is awful.
That's why they were talking about redesigning the Louver. Oh
(08:35):
there's four poor people all right coming up on the
flip side. You have to look back before you go forward.
That's what somebody told me several times in my lifetime.
So they'll weekly rewind on the flip.
Speaker 8 (08:49):
Let's see if something costs less but people are happier
with it, that sounds like something to look into. And
that is meta share. Maybe you've heard switching to meta
share to pay for healthcare can save many families up
to five hundred bucks a month, and.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
That is huge.
Speaker 8 (09:04):
But it's also true that people are way more satisfied
after making the switch too. The members satisfaction rate for
meta Share is double that of the typical health insurance plan.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Double.
Speaker 8 (09:14):
Meta Share works too. It's been around for thirty years.
Members have shared more than five billion dollars of each
other's bills. People love having telehealth and a huge nationwide
PPO network. So yeah, real, you can save a ton
and like it better. Imagine being happy with how you're
taking care of your healthcare. So if you're self employed

Speaker 1 (12:11):
It was a big week last week, There's no question
about it, especially when you think about the fact that
you had hostages released, the horror of all of that,
and then more humanitarian aid or at least some of
it got through to starving people in Gaza. And you know,
we've watched this, we've talked about it, We've had people
on the show who have loved ones in the middle
(12:34):
of it, which I cannot imagine, so the big thing
was heading into the week, when are those hot hostages
going to be released? Wow, unbelievable that this is finally happening.
And just the squeals of excitement of so many families
being reunited with their sons, with their brothers, with their nephews,
(12:58):
with the people that matter to them that they weren't
even sure they would ever see again after the atrocities
of October seventh, over two years ago, and here was
one couple reuniting exactly. I mean, they were just the
(13:25):
squeals of unbelievable delight, actually is what you heard there.
And it was over and over and over again, over
and over and over again. You heard that, all right.
Uh So part of that was the President going and
addressing the Israeli Parliament, meeting with so many of the
(13:49):
people who were involved in this and made this happen,
which of course the US was really the big, big
deal maker in the whole, and that would be Jared
Kushner and the Envoy, his rather son in law and Witkoff,
(14:10):
part of that whole deal making peacekeeping group, and he
addressed parliament, went over and addressed Israeli Parliament, which is
so rare for any American presidents do. And here's what
he said.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
This is not only the end of a war. This
is the end of the age of terror and death
and the beginning of the age of faith and hope
and of God. It's the start of a grand concord
and lasting harmony for Israel and all the nations of
what will soon be a truly magnificent region. I believe
(14:51):
that so strongly. This is the historic dawn of a
new Middle East.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
We hope, and we hope it bounces back to that,
because there was a lot of excitement last week over
that possibility, and the hostages being returned twenty of them
just really was the highlight. Now there are some problems
heading into the week as of Sunday, so we'll see
if that can roll back into more phases or what
(15:21):
happens moving forward, because Israel is not going to compromise
they say on the return of remains, so that they're
at a critical juncture at this point. But that's what
we learned from heading into last week, the excitement over that,
and then how tough it is to really honor any
kind of a peace agreement and get it to move
(15:42):
forward between the Palestinians and Israel. The government shutdown is
affecting a lot of people. Let's face it, they're not
getting checks. There are moments now coming up when people
should be getting checks, and if the government continues to
be shut down, they will not get those checks. So
(16:03):
some of them are preparing for what do I do?
Because I can't write an IOU to the credit card companies,
to the orthodontics, or to anything that I have to
do in my life. I'm counting on these checks. Here
was one of those people, Michael galant Lee, who was
a furloughed a USDA worker, and he talked about what
(16:28):
his plan was and what some others had to really
cope with.
Speaker 11 (16:34):
There's a whole lot of uncertainty with this. In my case,
my wife and I we have several months worth of savings,
and so we are dipping into that savings. We've had
to cut back on some expenditures. Wanted to get a
couple of windows in the house replaced. That's going to
(16:54):
have to go on hold. We are looking at other
ways and cut back if this goes on for an
expended period of time. I've been in contact with my
members in my local and you know, some are as
ready as I am. This is my third government shutdown,
some are Some are already worried about the next month.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Yeah, and the next month is coming. I mean here
we are rolling into another week. The House not even
going to be they're doing any kind of legislation because,
as the Speaker said, unless the Senate does anything, we're
not coming back at least another week. They're not coming back.
So this has been since mid September. Wow, wow, wow,
(17:44):
And this is the thing that is going to start
to pinch all of us if it hasn't already affected you.
And of course the sticking point is healthcare and the
Affordable you know, Healthcare Act and the credits people get
to help them pay for health care. The Democrats are
saying they're not trusting that if you open That's what
(18:06):
it is. It comes down to trust. They're not willing
to have a continuing resolution. They're not willing to have
that band aid budget and then say okay, now we'll
talk about new policy. They're not doing it until they
agree to continue with the subsidies. How long does that last?
(18:27):
That's the key thing. Last week was a big week
for George Santos. Maybe a shocker for some to hear this.
He was released from prison after a sentence was commuted
by President Trump. He signed the commutation releasing the former
congressman from prison immediately. The thirty seven year old was
(18:48):
less than three months into serving a seven year sentence
in federal prison. He was convicted of wire fraud aggravated
identity theF He was released from prison just before eleven
pm on Friday night and was picked up by his family.
He was supposed to make reparations of four hundred thousand dollars.
That also is something he will not have to do, so,
(19:15):
you know, the commutation comes days after the South Shore
Press published a plea, a passionate plea from Santos to
the President which he expressed his support and asked the
President allow him the opportunity to return to his family's
friends in his community. And he said, during my short
tenure in Congress, I stood by your agenda, and I
(19:38):
championed the policies that helped our economy and defended our borders,
and I did it so proudly. So then that happened
on Friday. There's speculation about maybe some other people who
could get a pardon or have their sentences commuted. But
this was this was just a one off situation, which
(20:01):
again the president has the power of course to do that,
and so he exercised, he exercised his right to do that.
When you wrap up the weekend, I mentioned the fact
that there is going to be how about this a
game seven in the world in the road to the
World Series for the American League Championship. Will it be Toronto?
(20:25):
Will it be the Mariners? But what happened last week
Friday on the National League side so unbelievable. Show hey
Otani is worth every cent and he gets paid a
lot of money. Remember best best, best contract in baseball,
(20:46):
seven hundred million dollars. And of course then the second
he played for the Dodgers, they won a World Series. Well,
the Dodgers beat the Brewers. The Dodgers beat the Brewers
five to one on Friday, and that would have been
the game to be at because show hey o Tani
hit three homers and pitched incredible baseball ten strikeout six
(21:11):
plus innings. Unbelievable, As some people wrote emails to me
where they said, this guy's not human. He's not human,
how can he be?
Speaker 2 (21:21):
So?
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Los Angeles wrapped up their series with a sweep for Zip.
Now they wait, like I said, to see what happens
on the other side of this thing. So they are
favorites to repeat, you know, will they who knows? But again,
the improbability of the of his greatness? How high can
(21:43):
he keep topping himself? That was a top or that
is one for the ages. I mean, it was incredible,
incredible baseball. What a two way show. You got to
think about it, pitching and hitting on both side sides
of it. Right, This is why I love that Pictures
(22:05):
hit in the National League. To me, that's the whole thing.
I'm not a huge fan of the DH and he
is a perfect reason why. Now lots of Pictures certainly
struggle and they're not as great at the play. But man,
what an incredible, incredible performance. All right, hang with us.
Coming up next on the show someone that I think
(22:30):
is one of the nicest people ever, and he's got
a great message, Michael Pellegrino. We need to be pumped
up with positivity. Next doing us on author's corner is
(23:03):
Michael Pellegrino. The book Crisis Equal Opportunity, Finding growth and
resilience in challenging times. This book is a must read.
I would love to see this in so many places
in this country too. By the way, Michael has such
an interesting background. He spent so much of his life
(23:24):
in law enforcement and community service and all kinds of
personal development. I mean, a twenty seven year career in
law enforcement. Think about that in New Jersey, the things
that he's seen, the things that he knows, his expertise,
and now how many people he's helping, and especially as
a motivational speaker and getting this book out there. So
we're thrilled to have him once again on author's corner
(23:46):
here on America Tonight with me Kate Delady. Michael, thanks
for coming on.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
Thank you so much. Kate.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Let's talk about writing this book. What led to you deciding, yeah,
we need to do this book.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
Well, I always like to start off saying it's not
about me, It's about we and our family At Resilient Minds,
our subject matter experts are docs second to none in
creating this curriculum based off of you know, brain science
and positive psychology and all that stuff. So they really
are on the forefront our Resilient Minds family, and that
(24:22):
really led me to want to do something for them
to be able to get what we're doing in the
classrooms and as facilitators out to the people and in
the masses, because we really believe that it's important to
make sure when you hit that spiral that you could
use the term and we love this term point you
(24:45):
know that we use is called catch yourself. Catching yourself.
So when you can catch yourself in that spiral going
down and you can use one of the tools from
the book to not only spiral back up, but thrive
in life, that's really really the most important part of
this whole thing.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Yeah, and what did you see? And you probably it's
like I said, I mean all that life experience, what
did you see as a police officer, things that you
wish you could have turned around for somebody. When we
talk about this resilience and crisis.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
Well, you look at things from a different perspective. And
you go to a call and you go and you're
not getting called to that call because somebody wants to
have dinner with you or somebody wants to give you
good news. It's kind of like their life is in
a little bit of a spiral right now, and you
have to come and you have to get there and
figure it out and do the right thing and be
able to help them and be able to get them in,
(25:39):
you know, in your corner there. But more importantly, the
things that you've seen, your mind is like a video recorder.
It stops, it fast forwards, it rewinds, it kind of
goes back into you know, into your lizard and your
puppy brain, and it brings back all those memories. And
(26:00):
you know, I can I will wake up sometimes thinking,
oh my god, did that really just happen? And that
was something from my past? And you know, knowing that
and be able to recognize that, I'm able to do
a lot of things and to be able to catch
myself coming in and out of that spiral into that
spiral and and spiral backup. But the things that you
(26:23):
see on this job, you'll never forget, Kate. And And
that's I think the part that I really really focus
on a lot is having to work on my mind
because that's the most important part of our body.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Oh, I agree, it's that adversity. Like you say, crisis
equal opportunity. That's it. It equals opportunity. What was the
worst thing that you saw on the job that you
just had to rewrack your mind and and flip that switch.
Like you're talking about that spiral.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
Well, motor vehicle accidents, children, children's debts, the smells, uh,
you know, fire watching, you know, things that that happen
on the job that you can't have any control over.
But I think there's nothing worse than than seeing a
child's death. And and that really puts you into a
(27:20):
downward spiral. Because even though I don't have children, I
have nieces and nephews, and you know that's to me,
there's nothing more important than than our loved ones and
our young ones as well. So that's really that that's
really bothers me a lot.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Yeah, the in the book, what will people find when
they turn the pages? Give us a little bit of
the meat of the book.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
I think that the most important part is some some
really viable tools that you can take away life hacks,
whatever they they they are that you want to call them,
but we like to have. We like to, you know,
tell people that having tools on your tool belt, because
you know, mindfulness will not work for everybody. For me,
(28:06):
what works for me is gratitude, is having that sense
of gratefulness and how I can really take my gratitudes
and turn them from a negative to a positive because
you know, as we've learned during this brain science, we
have learned that that we have that anger and joy
(28:29):
cannot live in the same headspace. So when you're happy
and joyful, you can't be angry. So being able to
turn that in the neuroplasticity world, we'd like to say
changing those habits because we get so caught up in
that vortex by going down that negative path. Our mind
wants to go to the negative path, and and Brene
(28:51):
Brown said it the best, and she I think I
think the number was like eighty three percent of the
time our minds go right to the negative. And I'm
giving it example of that, you get called into the
boss's office, what's the first thing you're thinking of, Oh
my god, what did I do? Rather than saying.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
What did I did?
Speaker 4 (29:08):
What did I do?
Speaker 12 (29:09):
Great?
Speaker 4 (29:09):
No, it's you're constantly trying to think and trying to
say and get away from that negative bias and get
get caught up in them negative cognitive traps as well too.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Yeah, and you know, using all this is wonderful. And
again the book is crisis equal opportunity. It equals opportunity,
finding growth and resilience and challenging times. We're speaking with
Michael Pellegrina. You can get the book on Amazon, Barnes,
and Noble, wherever great books are sold. And one of
the things you and I talked about off the air
is people don't need to suffer in silence anymore. And
(29:40):
you told me the story that just a handful of
years ago you had a partner that committed suicide and
you would have had no idea about that.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
Yeah, Yeah, And that's you know, unfortunately, you know, we
we have seen it so many different times and so
many times on this job and great end of mine unfortunately.
But again, you just don't know what people are going
through behind closed doors. Sometimes sometimes we do, but sometimes
(30:11):
it's asking those tough questions and being able to get
the right answers, and you know, sometimes we'll never get
them answers, Kate. And that's that's the one thing that
you can look at and say, I always like to say,
when when when you have three things working in your
life that are that are these most important three things
(30:32):
your finances, your relationships, and your health. You know, when
they're going in the right direction, you're probably going to
be okay, but you take one of them away, and man,
life's coming to a theater near you. And if it's
not at your doorstep ready with those three things, so
being able to identify and catch people in silence because
(30:56):
you just don't know what people are going through behind
closed doors. And that's one of the things that we
like to really say in some of the resources that
we have, And one of our biggest resources is a
Kadia Healthcare and they are the largest mental health and
behavior health company in the world, and we're able to
(31:16):
use them and they're part of our you know there,
you know, two of their main players are part of
our team in facilitating this. So being able to have
those research resources, those culturally competent resources, we can do
whatever we need to do to get those people the
help that they do that they need so they don't
(31:37):
suffer in silence anymore. Just like you know, my partner
and anybody else who who might be thinking that route
is is that route?
Speaker 5 (31:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (31:46):
You know, And it's interesting you said it. I mean,
your finance, is your health, your relationships and all of
a sudden, I like how you put that It's coming
to you in a theater near you. Everything's fine and
then boom you get walloped. So how do you not spiral?
That's the juice of this book. That's what you talk about,
that resiliency, and that's why you were the Chief Resilience Officer.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
What was that like, Well, you know, it's everybody has
different issues and problems and everything. And I think the
most important part of being that peer, of being that
person is being able to be trusted because there's so
many people that you know, that are out there that
that can't be trusted. So you want to make sure
(32:30):
that no matter what said or no matter what's talked about,
that you are trusted individual who's respected, you know, for
what you have done. And that was one of the
things that you have to develop with people. It's not
something that comes overnight. But more importantly, want to make
sure that when you have those people in place, Like
(32:53):
I always wanted to be the person to help somebody
and you know that was who I was. But not
everybody's going to come to you if they don't trust you.
So I think that was really important in my in
my time as that in Hell that position is making
sure that I was trusted and uh, you know, people
will come to you. And to this day, I will
(33:15):
you know, I will die with a lot of secrets
and and and that's just important. But the one thing
that I always always prefaced it by telling them, there's
three things that you know, we need to we need
to make sure that we get out in front of
If you are a danger to yourself or others, then
that you know, we have to do something about that.
Or if you committed a crime, we have to be
(33:38):
able to do something about that. Anything else we could
you know, work around. And that was that was one
of the things that I would always say. And and
we've gotten a lot of people into help and save
their careers. And you know, our Resilient Minds family is
is incredible when it comes to that, because, uh, it's
(34:00):
not about doing away with the person. It's about being
able to save them and save their career and say
and save their possibly their life. And unfortunately, when you're
going through the storm's not the time to change your
belief system. You have to have those skills in place
(34:21):
prior to going through the storm, because there's nothing that
I could tell you when you're going through that storm
to be able to change that thought process at that time.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Yeah. Wow, so powerful again. Pick this book up. Go
to the websites.
Speaker 4 (34:35):
Michael, thank you, thank you so much for your time.
Speaker 12 (34:39):
Okay, did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes?
Actually three known gas is hi, I'm doctor Mitch, and
nitric oxide is a gas that's readily made all day
long to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood
(34:59):
ves walls. By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
energy can go down, and you can get tingling in

your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate nitric Oxide
can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide. Go

Speaker 6 (38:00):
Oh girl, you have mailed Mistress's.
Speaker 4 (38:02):
Dig in the mail bag.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
Ah, thank you very much. So many of you hitting
me up about all kinds of things, including a course
the weekend. That was Man, you were just all over
it after the games wrap up, or at least the
ones that you're watching. Just like how listening to swgcam
fourteen ninety in the Great state of Connecticut, Kate, I'm
(38:35):
furious about my giants. How lame is it to have
the lead that they had and then to completely blow
it so that it came down to a field goal
and the Broncos could stomp all over them with time
ticking away and just a chip shot. What idiots? And
(39:01):
I just got sucked back into believing that this team
could do something, and it would have been a much
different story had they won, especially if you look at
how tight the NFC East is starting to become, or
how competitive. I guess I'll say that I don't think
I've ever been so upset after a game, which that's
(39:22):
saying something. But the fact that they had the big
lead that they had in the defense was so lame
they could not hold it. I'm beside myself. What's your
thoughts on the Giants and their season? I think you
nailed it. I mean, look, they're two and five. If
they had won that game, that would have been that
(39:42):
would have been three for them, But instead they shut
them out for three quarters and then the Broncos come
back with thirty three points in the fourth in one
of the most stunning turnarounds in the history of the
NFL during the regular season. So you're right, the chip
shot Will Luttz kicks the thirty nine yard or time
to expires and boom. The crowd goes crazy because this
(40:04):
was in Denver, so seriously, the thirty three fourth quarter
points were the most in NFL history by any team
that was shut out for the first three quarters, and
quarterback bo Nicks became the first player ever to run
for two scores and throw for two touchdowns in the
fourth quarter. You don't care about all those deets. You
care about the Giants. This is gonna haunt the Giants.
(40:25):
They were in disbelief. I mean, it is absolutely talk
about a tough loss. They put everything into this, They
gave everything they had and then it's blown at the
end of it. They gotta come up with something different
coming out after this. I mean, listen, the Giants visit
(40:45):
the Eagles on Sunday. Good luck with that. So especially
because now the Eagles seem to be finding their stride.
I mean, is all hope lost. I don't think they're
going anywhere in the play playoffs. I mean if I was,
if you were asking me now, because it's only seven
games into the season, it's not looking good. They'd have
(41:07):
to clear the board? Is that impossible? And what are
the other teams gonna do? Because they're gonna meet the
Cowboys and they're gonna meet the Eagles a couple of times.
So if they were able to nail their division rivals, sure,
And you know it's so terrible about all of that.
I love, I love, love, love love Love Dart.
Speaker 6 (41:29):
I do.
Speaker 1 (41:30):
I like he's like a breath of fresh air Jackson Dart.
Maybe a little cocky, but good, who cares about that?
So yeah, all right, I'm gonna go too deep in this.
I can tell you're wounded. All right, let's move. Let's
move to something else. Let's go to this one from
keV who is listening to us KSL radio in Salt
(41:51):
Lake City one oh two point seven FM. I took
my family to the Louver and to France last summer,
and let me tell you, I guess I'm glad that
I did it, Katie, because I heard that story about
(42:13):
the ripped off jewels and all the problems they're having
at the Louver, that it's overcrowded, you can't get in,
and it's just not a good time to want to
go to one of the best places on earth to
see history in incredible treasures. But the fact that they
(42:34):
were able to dupe the people there were the kind
of security they have and just take seven minutes and
ramsackle the Jewels of Napoleon is so surprising to me
and too bad for the people who want to go
there and tour. I feel again fortunate because we thought
(42:56):
about not doing it last year because there were other
things on our family's agenda family a big family reunions
that we have, that kind of thing. But we decided that, yeah,
we needed to make the time because we take our
kids every year to someplace different. It doesn't have to
be far away somewhere in Europe. But it was the
(43:16):
perfect opportunity for us to do this because they're getting ready.
One is on a mission now, and others are getting
ready as they move into high school ages. And we
know that pretty soon we'll be empty nesters. So this
was a good opportunity for us to do to do
the trip. But I'm even equally more excited that we
(43:40):
did it based on some of the things that are
happening now. All right, so let's move to this one.
This one is from Joe, and Joe is listening to
us klis Low Information Station that would be in the
great city of Saint Louis, Missouri. Kate Ace Freely, I
(44:06):
heard you talking about it and the fact that you
had gone to a kiss concert and you realize the
greatness of kiss when you must have been a doubter
at a very young age. And it's true he knew
how to play that axe, that's for sure. He had
some great moments with the group, great solo moments. I
(44:30):
probably saw Kiss, and I'm fifty two years old. I
probably saw Kiss maybe twenty two times. I had to
beg my parents the first time I went, and in fact,
my dad dropped us off, picked us right up after
and before the concert. I'm from Ohio, but he was
(44:54):
the best, was the he was the court gesture, as
some would say, and yeah, too bad all the bandmates
remembering him got me a little misty eyed for this
macho man. But my favorite is just the basics you played,
you know, rock and roll. I went rock and roll
(45:16):
and all night long and that that is one of
the best songs ever I think recorded by Kiss. Yeah,
you know what, It's funny you say that I hadn't
read anything, and then over the weekend when I could
carve out some time, because you know what, I got
roped into yard sales. Oh that's another story. But anyway,
(45:39):
you know, dead at the age of seventy four, and
I wanted to see what people were saying, and you know,
like Brett Michaels saying thanks for the years of great music.
All my love and respect for my family and myself
Rest in peace. And there was a picture of him
with the whole the whole group, and then Mike McCready
(46:01):
from Pearl Jam said he was a hero of mine.
He shared a photo of him in Freely and Eddie
Vedder and and said said that and said I heard
about his passing from someone who I played in a
band with, and you know, they were just the best.
And seeing the picture was really cool of because it
(46:22):
was Sam's makeup. He didn't have Freely, it was didn't
have makeup on, but it was really really good. And
then there was another one somewhere I saw, you know,
space on space Ace and I guess it was I
guess it was maybe Peter Chris and just said, you know,
deepest condolences, condolences to family, friends, millions of fans worldwide,
(46:47):
and they're going to definitely pay tribute later moving on
in the season of course, Kiss drummer, Kiss Drummers, Peter
Cris and he said he died peacefully with his family
around him. His wife and I were with him to
the end as well. So he was one of the
main dudes, let's face it all right. On that note, Wow,
(47:09):
already we are through the mail bag and we are
ripping to the pre market bell. Yeah, another week, a
couple of weeks left in October before we swing into November.
Hard to believe, right Halloween scary times, not scary on
(47:30):
the market right now. Stock futures are up ahead of
a big earnings week. So Dow futures point twenty five percent,
SMP futures point thirty four percent, Nasdaq futures point forty
six percent, oils down slightly fifty seven bucks thirty three
cents for a barrel. But again, these things all move
(47:51):
and shift as you go through a whole day and
of course the rest of the week, and you know,
will we see a bunch of volatility or or what
are the things that you look at, And of course
one of them is what's happening overseas, what happens with
Israel and the peace agreement that does have an effect
(48:13):
on what's going on. And then earnings, earnings, earnings, that's
always a big, big deal. Thanks so much to Daniel
Kazerski for his excellent work on the technicals, and all
of you for listening to this hour of the show.
Make it count.

I’m Jay Shetty host of On Purpose the worlds #1 Mental Health podcast and I’m so grateful you found us. I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
