Live At Five

Republican consideration for the 21st candidate Joe Rutkowski was in the studio today. Joe's construction background, along with his network connection to key people, are qualities he feels works for the North Country. Joe was candid about his career, while admitting he's not a typical politician.

Hump day included Glenn's take on 'Cop-Car Gate', and how small it is in comparison to Golf-Gate'. Glenn feels Trump 2.0 is like a holiday everyday. Of course, Danny chimed in with a different sentiment all together. Good call with Attorney Joe Stanley who addressed the contaminated supplement story, as well as local roofs collapsing under the heavy snow, and whether the state of NY had something to do with the termination of the Snirt event in April. Good show.

City Council candidate Bob Shore stopped by today to tout his name for this year's big council races in November. Then, Glenn interviewed Democratic Candidate Blake Genderbein. Blake is a proud farmer who wants to bring small town businesses, as well as healthcare to the forefront. Some calls came in afterwards, including Danny Francis, who still believes Glenn doesn't characterize the Democratic party accurately.

Two phone-in guests today, first, Attorney John Murphy from Safe Harbor Wills and Trust to discuss this Wednesday's workshop and Anthony Contantino who wants to be our Republican Congressman. Mixed in between were observations about the video of former Mayor Jeff Smith getting a cab ride in a cop car. Good stuff!

A very special Live at Five Show with DPAO President, Joe Rich and BJ Donato. They were here to celebrate the 50th Annicersary of the DPAO and their concert series. Joe had great stories about Ronnie Donato who was the inspiration to the DPAO after he was tragically paralyzed in a hunting accident in 1974. Great Show!

Bobby was in the studio today, as Glenn addressed the stories of the day. It's been cold and icy this week, so not much exciting stuff today.

Wednesday's show did not include a call from Joe Stanley, but it was chuck full of Glenn's opinion on the 'state of America'. First, the Dems are defending saving $$ and they despise Elon Musk for doing this. Then, after a call about poor reading levels amongst 8th graders, the show took a different direction. That included a sound bite from a black pundit who asks why Black America is always depicted as a perpetual hood environment.
